First time with coir... fruiting not fully colonized substrate (PICS)

I inoculated rye berries and spawned to coir later. The colonization of the coir is not finished but after waiting for two weeks I put the cakes in the FC. Do you guys think it will turn out fine or will it be contaminated?

What steps did you take in spawning. Did you mix sub and spawn good. What's was your mix and ratio? Two weeks is a long time to only see that much in such small trays

Yes, but maybe the coir didn't have good field capacity. I squeezed out most of the water from it before mixing with the spawn. I also put a layer of coir on top of it. The bottom seems to be colonized good but not the top.

Next time Don't put a layer of coir on top. In my experience it take way to long to colonize. Having some exposed grains won't hurt a thing

I'll remember that. I think I put too much of it on top and it might be a bit dry. Hoping for the best anyways.

If you had not put that top layer on there those would probably be pinning

You are probably right. Should I remove some of it?

They should have been covered with foil while colonizing. They're probably dried out

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. Maybe misting will do the trick?

Yeah mist them real well and cover them with foil until they finish up. Poke a few little holes in the foil for ge
Cube are very resiliant. They'll dig in and find a way to fruit. Just be patient

No it looks like he put a thick layer of substrate on top after mixing

Hi guys... I tried covering the cakes with tin foil for a couple of days and today when I was going to check on them I noticed there was pins on all the cakes. Some of them look mutated. There is probably some kind of contamination going on... which sucks, obviously. So what should I do now?

OP are you keeping your substrate in a sgfc during the spawn run? If so you should let it colonize to 100% Before placing it in the sgfc. If the perlite I see is wet and you have holes in the tub or it is putting your Substrate in to fruiting conditions way to early. That could be the reason you Are seeing pins before 100% colinazation.

"OP are you keeping your substrate in a sgfc during the spawn run?"
Yeah, I screwed up. I guess I might as well let it stay in fruiting conditions now.
