Looks pretty good to me, I am doing a monotub as well and its about on the same day as yours. Mine is a bunch of fluffy growth, looks like you have some good rhizo there. I'm worried about mine having lots of fluffy in it and very little rhizo, I guess time will tell.

Looks good, but if you don't want any pins forming on the sides you'll want to cover it with something opaque.

Personally I would just use vermiculite. I love using pure verm as a casing; it holds tons of water and is uniformly light in color, letting you assess your casing easily.

eww only thing that is bad about a pure verm casing layer is that it doesn't provide a very beneficial micro climate for pin development.

K well it has been 5 days since the first pics and It is still not fully white I am wondering if I should just case now and induce fruiting to try and get something or is it normal for it to take this long...10 days now you probably can't see it in the pics but the sub. is shrinking in the way brf cakes do when they are colonized any help is appreciated

Case and fruit immediately; you're not getting whiter than that. Yes, shrinking is normal; that's odd though, I only usually notice the shrinking by the time the first flush has sprung.

dude fruit now, overlay sucks!! also when you fruit cover the bottom tub, exposeing the sides when fruiting is bad, you will get alot of shrooms growing at the bottom and sides. use duct tape or something

Thanks for the info guys. Should I case and let incubate for a few days after or case and put it FC or not case and put in FC.

I have heard that over incubating leads to more potent mushrooms.
