possible early monotub pinning? (and other questions below)

AFOAF started a monotub about 8 or 9 days ago and used a frosting layer on the top of their tub it isn't 100% colonized on the top and there is a (very) small cluster of pins starting to come up.
This is their first bulk grow and they didn't know that a frosting layer was old/bad info and he wont be doing it again. Their main concern is that because of the frosting layer that it may have not colonized all of the way in the middle.
There are only small sections on the sides and a few minor patches across the top of it that aren't 100% and the pins cluster that they see is smaller than a pea.
So, basically what my FOAF wanted to know was if they should leave it colonizing until the pins get a bit larger or put it into fruiting now?
PICTURES!

My FOAF would like to thank you in advance for your advice.

Yeah, what he said.
Do you have holes in your tub? Couldn't see any in the pics. Just wondering

My foaf has two 2" holes at sub level on each the long sides and one 2" hole on the short sides near the top. they were covered with micropore tape and then packaging tape over that during colonization. They plan to stuff them with polyfil as is recommended. :-D
any suggested alternatives to polyfil or should my Foaf just stick with that? It's not very aesthetically pleasing to them, lol.
and could someone describe how dense the polyfil should be for the top and bottom holes?
Thanks again!

Please quit with that already, dam.
Now it's just annoying...we know it's you and not AFOAF...so please just quit it.
You cannot hide behind words here....using those words will not help you in any way.
I know this because my pet monkey's psychiatrist's uncle wanted me to post here to ask cultivation questions for him.
I told him to go fuck himself.
