Fruting a monotub (now with pic)

Well I am wondering when I should fruit my monotub. I have it in a dark area waiting for the casing layer to colonize. Today is day three and there are a few little tiny spots of myc popping through. I don't want to let it sit too long because of overlay, but then again I want to get a nice pinset. I have done one other monotub but something went wrong with that one and I didn't really have to worry about when to fruit that one because a shroom popped up before the casing layer colonized. Should I wait until it is evenly popping up or what? some advice would be great. Maybe I'll take a pic for you guys.

Yes you should wait until its evenly poping up cause recently i got the patients to let my casing colonioze evenly..maby do a lil patching if it starts to get out of control..but yes wait for it to evenly pop up all around the casing layer then fruit..cause taake note that the myc will still start to colonize the casing layer after u fruit it for atleast 3-4 days after...GOODLUCK my friend

Well I just took a pic to make better judgement. make sure to zoom in on the pic or else you won't be able to see it. But shit look at the pic it looks like it is pretty even. Maybe I should patch and fruit now. Or maybe wait till the morning and fruit. But here it is. ANd thanks

How many days has that been cased? It is difficult to tell if the white I see is verm or mycel.

It will be three days exactly at midnight. It is pretty easy to tell when you know where the spots are up. It looks like it is coming up pretty even very lightly. Another question is should I lightly patch the spots before I fruit? Just wondering I don't want a bad case of overlay. Because I know how these monotubs like to keep colonizing for about 4 days after you put them out to fruit.

You aint near overlay yet. Id let it go till tomarrow night and lightly patch (or just fuck the casing a bit with a fork) & fruit.
This is my favorite cluster (brazils monotub)

I know i'm not near overlay yet but I just don't want it to become overlay in the 4 days that the tub is still colonizing the casing layer after I put it out to fruit.

Well when the casing is colonized perfect for fruiting is one of the most un agreed upon factor in growing on here. Some say the mycelium should just be growing into the underside of the casing, some say that there should be mycelium poking evenly through the surface.
At any rate just do whatever for your first time till you get the feel of it. If you just fruited it now and didnt do any patching or anything it would still produce enough shrooms to fuck you and everyone you know up so dont sweat it.

well what i do is when t start to see it colonizing all over i put it in the second i see the myc poping up all around it cause i kow it will colonize a lil more while in the fruiting stages...

That's a nice clear picture man.
I only patch the really AGGRESSIVE mycelium and I don't see anything on that casing that really needs patching. It looks like it is coming up pretty even however in small spots. I like to see almost a light cloud of mycelium in all the low spots but that still looks pretty good.
Give it a few indirect mistings and fruit it within the next few days and you will be golden. I know the double tub tek says not to open the tub, but I fan and mist my mono tubs, why not when it's easy to take off the lid and it increases FAE and humidity.

what do you really do to trigger a monotub to fruit besides add light?

Lower CO2 levels and increase humidity as usual. I also close the heating vent to the room that I keep mine in so that the temp drops a few degrees as well.
When my casing layer is colonizing I keep a layer of tinfoil on top to hold in some CO2. Once the casing layer looks ready to fruit I just remove the foil give it a few nice indirect mistings (sides of the tub) to boost humidity and a light fanning...

that outta do it for the tub bro...well you dont want to have tinfoil over it while cxasing layer is colonizing....itll be to much and plus you need to peak at it..shit i peak at mine once a day cause you never know when that myc is near the surface...

Yes. DO KEEP IT COVERED during casing colonization. Poke the foil with a fork a couple times for some air holes. Leaving it uncovered before it is colonized increases contam risk and increases unwanted light, I believe it will also negatively affect the amount of o2/co2 that is optimal.
I'm sure it is possible to colonize in a more ...errr ....ummm... "carefree" manner since fungai is resiliant, but I don't think you'll find it is recommended by any experienced growers.

Laying a sheet of tinfoil over the casing in the monotub does sounds like a great idea. I believe that would increase the fruiting triggers and also block against contamination. I will definitely try this next time around.
Oh an by the way I got up this morning and took a look at it and it was a little bit better than last night. It was poking through more evenly so I decided to leave the sleeping bag off of it and induce pinning. I will be posting a pic in a week when pins start to show. But that will probably be in my grow log which can be found in my sig.

It seems sort of strange that you are on tub number 3 and still dont have some sort of an idea on when you like to induce pinning.

Well what happened is on tub number one I looked at it too much and that caused it to initiate pinning early. My casing layer didn't really colonize and I recognized it as a big mistake. I still got some pretty nice flushes off of the tub and I was pretty happy with results.
For monotub number two during the colonization of the casing layer I found some mean green and that screwed that tub. So really I am not on monotub number three and I haven't really had any time to work on when to initiate pinning.
I had a round about idea of when to do it but I just wanted someone else's opinion.
