Well after 10 long painful days becuase i mixed spawn and bulk by bare hand everything came out good. However i didnt level everything off so theres still uncolonized parts. However need a professional opinion on this? Ready or no

I did just that. Will leaving it to colonize longer than needed cause any harm? Thanks

No, in fact, you should leave it an extra 5-6 days after full colonization to let it consolidate and let the mycelium completely have hold. How did you spawn this? crumbled cakes?

Yeah this was my first time looking at it since i spawned to bulk. been 10 days
However its popcorn quart jars to bulk sub which consist of hpoo, gypsum, verm, coir
im thinking it could have got fucked because i forget to wear damn gloves when mixing everything together stupid me. or because i spawned it in my room which i didnt spray down to destroy everything though my room is clean. idk im really sad now i dropped alot of money on this and time

Colonizing mycelium benefits from light @ all stages.
OP - you didn't level it out, for one. That's not good, because you're water is going to pool in areas & cause bacteria.
You use popcorn, which doesn't allow for enough contact w/ the bulk substrate. You should be using WBS or rye berries for grains to bulk.
As long as everything was properly pasteurized & your spawn was 100% & not contamed, you have no worries of mixing spawn + bulk w/ bear hands. I don't like it cuz it gets under my nails for days.
Consolidation of bulk is 3-5 days. Just wait until you see around 12 good sized pins (4-7cm) in height. & introduce into fruiting. High CO2 is a great colonization method that helps produce better pins & more even flushes. Therefore, you'll get more outta your first flush.

Doesn't look contamed. You just mike get some heavy metabolites pooling.

Doesn't look too much like contams nor metabolites. Methinks it needs another 5 days to consolidate. I would also say to break up your sub better so you don't have pooling water and you maintain an even pinset. Sidenote, how did you use hpoo and forget to wear gloves? lol just pokin fun.

Patience. BTW - you have over 2,400 posts - is this your virgin run?
To the point - I never wear gloves cz I mix with a wooden spoon. Did you spawn to coir/verm? Chances for contams at this poing are diminished cz the spawn is complete (in the jars that is) and the coir/verm don't support contams.
Put it away and DONT LOOK! Fresh Air Exchange is bad at this point. It took my tubs over 2 weeks to colonize. Ignore them. I know it's hard.

Easiest way to tell when to fruit: Keep colonizing conditions until you see a pin or two. Fruit. Enjoy a much fuller harvest!

Just to throw my two cents out there, if your tub is contaminated, couldn't you just put some hydrogen peroxide on the contamination, if you do it soon enough? Although it kills all bacteria, it will not harm the mycelium... correct since it has enzymes to turn the hydrogen peroxide into hydrogen and oxygen...

Yup. I agree completely. You should have clear sided tubs. Just check that way. peak in through the side.
Wooden spoons are prone to harboring contams as they're too porous. Use a Stainless Steel Spoon to mix your substrate+spawn.

I wait till I see a few pins then introduce to Fruiting Conditions.

If it kills mold/bacteria, it kills mycelium. Don't put it on your substrate.
