Is this monotub ready to fruit?

Alright, I opened the lid on my 6 quart to take picture. I didn't wanna, because it's a trigger, but oh well. There aren't any in-depth guides on what constitutes 100% colonization on monotubs, and everyone's idea of what 100% colonization looks like, seems to vary vastly.
Is this 100%? Or is this early pinning? And why are these pinheads all growing sideways? Thanks.

EDIT: Here are some more pics. I just stuffed holes with polyfill!

That's way past 100%. It's about to explode. Good job! You're guaranteed a solid flush at this point. Open up those holes and stuff polyfill in them, and the mushrooms will stop leaning toward the fresh air. Try to clone one of those big guys, since strains that are dying to fruit in bad conditions are always valuable if they have even a moderate potency.

Thanks van der griegen, all with the whole oats you sourced me! I'm still waiting for the 66 quart to follow suit. It's colonizing a lot slower because I only threw in 3 jars, as opposed to recommend 5-6.
I'm glad I don't see any green on it yet. Still crossing my fingers. The watermelon smell seems to have mellowed out. I really don't smell anything anymore.
Alright, I'll fill with polyfill now!

All those tiny white dots are hyphal knots and will be pins in the next few days! Keep us posted. I wanna see what that pin set looks like.

Thanks, I'm not sure how big they'll get. The conditions were pretty bad, indeed. Constant 80-105 degrees all summer. It's cooled down a lot in the last week to around 85-95, but there was month where it was really bad.

Not to be an ass or anything OP, but you do realize you can edit a post to add pics if you already started a thread on the same subject right? http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/20626263 Especially when you seem to have been getting good advice there

Sorry for whatever reason I guess I thought it would avoid confusion by starting anew. I sincerely apologize if I erred in judgement.

I bet most of those hyphal knots are primordia now. If you look closely, you'll see that they're starting to take the mushroom shape, but haven't yet developed any pigmentation.
