They look fine to me. 
No estimate on time... they are ready when they are ready. For cakes, wait till 100% colonization then at least a week (and up to a month) before you dunk, roll, birth. Spend the time reading or starting more projects.

Found my first contam today. 1 jar gone , BUT......it WAS the only jar not showing growth, all others are still goin. Since this is my first i dunno how long it should take after mycelium has become visible. Or how long it SHOULDNT take for that matter :/. My original innoc date for the first 6 pint jars was may 11th.....crossing my finger and hoping for no more contams.

i am 1 week away from dunking,rolling, and fruiting 7 of my jars. My inc at room temp has been constant at 76-79 considering it is in my closet, lowered and sealed off. my question is, can i fruit at these temps or do i need to throw a pinch of complexity into that portion of this operation? Thanks guys, i just want to do this time around as dead-on as possible, so that i can improve and hone great skills as a mycologist over time.

Those temps are fine, but a little on the high side considering the cakes will heat up a bit as the mycelium flushes.
However, if by "inc" you mean incubator, get rid of it. They are unnecessary if your room temp is anywhere above 60-65F. Some people actually prefer fruiting temps this low as it tends to lead to slower, denser growth.
hope this helps

I took your advice in the beginning and got rid of the TiT deal. I have them in a storage tub in a closet, thats what i meant by inc. They are all doing great , with the exception of 1 contamed jar, and 1 jar not showing any growth. But since it will be 79 to 82 degrees in here at all times, would that banjax my fruiting period in anyway? I just need to know as i am a little shy of a week from dunking rolling and throwing the babies into the fc. I could find a way to cool it down adequately if needed????

If it's not too much trouble or energy to cool it down, I would recommend it. Not only will you discourage contamination growth for your spawn, but if you are also fruiting in the same area, your stems will fill out noticeably more dense in the 65-70F range.
If I'm interpreting your use of the word banjax correctly, no, heat is not a pinning trigger.
How long have you let the 100% jars consolidate so far?

By banjax i mean screw it up. Old Irish slang. Such as "Wow, i cant get to work because my car is fuckin banjaxed"

http://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/478551-ice-strain-grow.html
The shroomies went well. VERY VERY badass trip when they were dry, not so much when i ate the wet batches. prolly needed more but still tripped well. The dried ones made me trip fucking nuts tho.




 Dunk:
 Siamese Fungi:



 Had a LOT more than this handful, didnt take pics of final flushes , either that or they are lost in the confines on this damned comp lol:

Just remember simpler is always better especially if you are doing the basic of tek method. More over the incubator is not a needed device and the culture shall thrive in the condition plus is runs you less of risk of getting contamination spread because contaminants seemed to take hold in a warm moist enviorment faster. My bad if there is many typing errors this is just quickly from my tablet
