Good job on creating those surface conditions  I actually saw dozins of these pins on your sub yesterday, tho at the time when I circled in that handful of fruits I hoped they were pins but I wasn't sure at all.

Update as of this afternoon. I’m not sure what came over me last night but I did give a very light mist and fan . I have read so many things on misting and fanning and people seem very split on the practice . I’m not sure if it helped at all . I have not been misting of fanning but for whatever reason I did last night .

Dont get too hung up on maintaining surface moisture: bare in mind that evaporation is a key component in even pinset, if you're obsessively maintaining this look, you're not allowing evaporation to take place... that said, it's a balance, an ebb and flow within parameters... I have had boxes (I set and forget: no misting, no active air exchange) that never develop this level of surface moisture and still produce canopies... in contrast, overly obsessiveness can, IME/O, stall pinning all together

Clone a pin
I would be tempted to grab one of those fat pins with flamed tweezers and place It In the middle of a agar dish. They're very aggressive and fast growers when they're that small. Also you may get lucky and It'll be free of any contaminates..
Expand your horizon..

I dont suggest cloning pins from substrates, only from agar... no way of knowing what you're taking... inversely,I suggest taking the largest, fastest finishing fruit from a cluster of fruit (a cluster is several fruit originating from the same hyphal construct)... agar pin clones USUALLY perform well bc they're fruiting in less than ideal conditions (ie limited gas exchange and evaporation)

As of now I am not going to mist and fan . The lid to the monotub has spacers between then for the FAE and I’m just waiting patiently. It’s currently at 69.6 degrees and on a 12 off 12 on light cycle . As you can see in the photos there are just little droplets of moisture ( no puddles ) . I’m so curious to when first harvest will be . I’m definitely still in the nervous realm of the grow . It’s so wild

Interesting Information Cap. I never thought about the lack of fae. I'll have to give It a try next time I have a cluster growing In agar..
When I pull pins out of substrate I do select the strongest looking clusters growing out of the top of the tub. I also like getting them when they're just a few hours old.
Each clone will end up being grown in a large .5 grow bag. If I end up with 12 clones I'll have 12 bags growing. All bags will produce. Out of twelve bags I might end up with one or two stellar producers.
There's many ways to get to the same spot. I do enjoy my method. Pin are such fast growers they out run the contaminates for ease of separating the good from the bad..

Some updates ! They seemed a little busy last night . I’m wondering about the middle of my surface . It’s a bit uneven in some spots but there is no pinning at all . I think this maybe a patience thing again . Today marks 2 weeks from putting the substrate and grain spawn into the monotub.

This was the first harvest . Not sure if anyone is into this thread anymore ahaha . I was a little bummed to get to them as late as I did but the absolutely blew up . It was like a full blown magical explosion . So the caps flipped a bit but I think I may have been timely enough that the block didn’t get damaged too badly . Only time will tell

You've done it. It only gets better and easier from here... Aside from all the really hard lessons that come from getting too confident later in the future.

Thanks so much ! Question regarding the second flush . When does the second flush begin ? I didn’t remover smaller pins while harvesting . I’m I looking at another all out of nowhere growth like the first flush ? I dunked the block back in cold water and held it under for about 5 minutes . It felt like it wanted to rupture while I had it held down so I backed off .

I let mine float in water for about an hour after the first flush. No need to hold the block underwater. I've also had great second flushes without dunking, also.
