I left a tub colonize for 17 days once because I had put only 1 jar of spawn using damion 50 50 tek. Took forever but it worked
Just let in colonize a few more days.

Hey OP,
The word is that the fibers do not do as well as the coir.
I tried it myself without knowing and failed when I was getting started.
It might work. Good luck!

Found this out the hard way myself. I have managed to get some results from Fiber, but when I did a mono bulk it failed in the same capacity as you are seeing. Where I live (Central Canada) I cannot seem to find Coco that actually says coir, they all say CocoPeat, or Coco Fiber, Coco soil block, etc.

Not unless you see green spots. Otherwise just be patient and don't get your hopes up.
Coco husk can work, it's just very prone to contamn before the myc is able to gobble it up.

Definitely.
Sorry for the loss dude. I bought one bag of ground husk once. 
I also bought a huge bag of millet, only to find that I had bought hulled millet. Sigh. Live and learn.
Good luck,
JD
