Confused over fruiting this tub

So Ive been having contam issues lately, so when I spawned these tub I covered the surface with a thin layer of coir/verm as an extra precaution to cover up any loose grains or straw sticking up out of the surface.
I used a clear liner, and lifting up the tubs I can see the bottom and sides are totally colonized, the myc hasn't colonized the surface yet.
This is PE so I was planning on casing them. What should I do in this situation, should I let the quasi casing I gave them when I spawned them fully colonize before I case them?

Wait it out and add a casing when it's fully colonized.

Let it go until it stalls or finishes, then you can patch if you want and fruit.

Ok yea so it looks healthy (never mind the pic bad lighting) it's just nice looking myc growing up through the maybe 1/4 inch dusting of coir/verm I mixed up to cover exposed grain/straw sticking up at the timer I spawned it.
The tub colonized rapidly and the myc has almost grown all the way through the top layer. The tubs been dying to fruit but Ive been waiting cause of the semi casing.
So it doesnt look like its going to stall it will colonize the whole surface. So Pasty when you say patch what exactly do you mean in this instance since the whole surface is colonized? Cover with another 1/4 inch or do a little deeper like a normal casing layer
Thanks!

Wait till full colonization and cover it, patching is for if your myc overruns your casing layer.
If you use CVG fruit immediately after adding a casing, if you're using anything else you can wait until 20% and fruit.
Pasty will verify.
