So I am starting to get worried it has been 18 days since i started fruiting and I have seen nothing. My tub smells of fresh mushrooms no visual contams nor smell of one. It looks to be healthy myc but it is not pinning. I dialed it in what I think is properly and my sides of the walls seem moist and the myc seems moist as well not sure if it is to moist. I do not spray it because it does not seem to need it. I have taken pictures to show and also possibly get some kind of advice on what to do to try and trigger pinning.

It looks like that myc is responding to bacteria

The thick, fluffy spots of growth tapering out into wispy growth. The lack of pins after 18 days. It looks like either pasteurization failed or some bad spawn was used.

Out of curiosity, could the myc successfully fight off such a bacterial contamination? I may be going way off track here, but I had to ask.
I've had cakes ridden with non-visible bacterial contamination and have always wondered what "fruiting them anyways" could bring, but never ballsy enough to try it myself.

Well I am a bit confused as well... Do not take me the wrong way frank but the myc does not look any diff from when you told me to go ahead and fruit.

This is the image I took and you said fruit that bad boy so I did. I know my camera sucks dick but it is all i have. I am trying to notice the difference here but I just am not seeing it.

That too is also a problem...18 days bud, no way around it, that's a very bad sign.
A healthy substrate would have colonized nice and thick white after a few more days, very uniform.

What Frank said above is likely to be true...
However, if you have extra tubs laying around I wouldn't pitch it just yet. You don't have the worries of spores spreading in your grow area when dealing with bacteria, so you could try playing around with it (loosen your poly, or point a fan at a tight policy side, remove lid and fan, move closer to a light source, give it some more time as is, etc...) It might not make a difference of course, but if you don't need the tub for anything else it also couldn't hurt to try to increase its exposure to pinning triggers in hopes of a response. (At this point I'm sure you'd be happy with even a half asked first flush as opposed to getting nothing)
I would try to blame genetics or even the variety of cube (if for instance you were growing PE, it generally has a longer growth cycle from what I have seen) however as Frank said above the lack of a heavy myc cover on top during the 18 days you've been waiting is a sign that something has gone awry.
