 First bulk tub, time to fruit? - What does shroomery think

Hello I hope everyone's day is going well.
My quick question to you is whether this bulk tub should be put in to fruiting or left wrapped up to colonize more?
- First bulk ever done on Hpoo - Zstrain. We can see lots of little rhizo development on top, but is it enough for an optimal flush?

Is it fully colonized?
It looks that way minus the small patch.
Let it colonize as much as it can, then wait 4-7
days, then fruit.

I should also ask this second question:
Ninja put a casing layer on this (verm/coir) over the Hpoo substrate - (unfortunately at the time he thought casing was needed but found out from you folks that it wasn't needed)
Will a casing layer of verm/coir over the Hpoo lead to smaller fruits than if it were fruited just Hpoo without the 50/50 casing?

Applying a casing layer is ideal IMO.

I watch for when the myc. starts to crawl up the walls. I figure when it starts using energy to span non-nutritive areas then it has tapped everything it needs from the bulk sub.

It was originally left to colonize for a week without a casing layer, once it got to about 80% a casing layer was added then left another week and now its at about 90%. Theres a spot a couple square inches wide on the underside of that has not fully colonized yet, but it's been like that for a week and hasn't shown any progress, maybe because the substrate is to moist there. Check the pick below, but other than that its been about 2 weeks and colonized well everywhere else.
Why would the bottom-middle take so long to colonize/colonize so slowly?
Whats the consensus here

I've had subs that didn't fully colonize the bottom,
I attribute it to my spawn to sub ratio. At 1:1 I'd expect the sub to colonize completely.
At 1:4 or higher, I'd expect the bottom to not be fully colonized.

You will be fine man. I wait until the top looks like what you have and then wait 4-7 days for consolidation.....

The mushrooms, which grow only during the season of torrential rains, awaken the forces of creation and produce an experience of spiritual abundance, of an astonishing, inexhaustible constitution of forms that identifies them with fertility and makes them a mediation, a means of communion, of communication between man and the natural world of which they are the metaphysical flesh.

***Update****
Where's the fruits?
Been 8 days and here's what the fruits look like. Wax paper was added. Why the lack of pins? any ideas?? (the bulk tub in the picture, not the cake)

Judging by the placement of the one visible hole in the picture, I'm betting you have a total of 4 holes and the 2 on the long sides are too high up. If all 4 holes are at that height, you've got a linear air flow going through the top of your tub. You'll want to put another pair of holes lower, just above the substrate surface, to create a circular flow of air as a result of the convection current produced.
I could be horribly mistaken, and a quick pic of your hole placement would prove me wrong. Still though, IIRC the climbing mycelia on your stipes is a sign of high humidity/low FAE.
hope this helps
