bulk tub, fully colonized?

Its been there since Thursday. 3 jars spawn 6 sub. In a 45l tub. noobish mistakes: applied top layer. sub spawn mix is 2" or something. holes are above the sub by 1.5-2".

Take a closer picture of those white dots in the middle of the tub, I am not sure if those are knots or not.

looks pretty good from the small picture. maybe wait another couple of days, as some people like to consolidate a bit before fruiting.
also try using clear liners next time. gives you a chance to look at the bottom of your substrate to make sure its all the way there.

What sub did you use? If it's coir, I would fruit it.

yes being able to see the bottom of the sub is very important. The whole underside of that thing could be uncolonized for all you know 
Happened to me once at least. Put the thing in fruiting conditions and boom contams.
So in this particular case, consolidating would be a good idea. Usually 5 days is overkill though IMO.

clear liner = bottom pinning no?
Any uneven colonization would be due to not mixing properly when you spawn no? ie: grain jars colonizing just as fast everywhere after a shake
I'm more worried about your sub depth... I have a few tubs going that are probably just under 3" and because of how lower they are than my holes, I think the conditions in the tub are sub optimal... my first tub I am going to blame the gnats on but I have two more that started to pin today so we shall see... pretty sure the next time I do this though I am going to have 4"+ of sub and try to make it almost level with the polyfil holes.
and I won't be using a clear liner

no, not at all. it is all about micro climate, not light exposure.

possibly, but not a given.

don't be, 2 inches is fine.

Dude after I spawn to bulk I'll leave it until i see a pin or two pop up before i put it into fruiting conditions

I doubt a clear liner would make any real difference. (if you're that paranoid about light causing pinning, the whole tub should be wrapped in a black garbage bag, no? in which case a dark liner would be pointless)
my take on it anyway
I don't think colonizing in the dark is as important as some people crack it up to be. I mean, exposure to air is the main pinning trigger is it not?

not necessary. some people do this with great results, but fruiting at 100% is perfectly acceptable. 100% colonization followed by fae are the main pinning triggers and then not so much light exposure/evaporation from substrate etc...
Waiting a couple of days wont hurt anything. If mushrooms are going to grow, they will grow.

a clear liner would enable you to view your substrate; sides, bottom and all.

Frank Horrigan says waiting for pins causes more aborts. He's somewhat new around here, but he's one of my most trusted sources
"When your substrate is fully colonized, it is time to fruit. Some people prefer to wait for a few pins, but i find this only adds more aborts to my first flush. My yields are better when fruited at 100% as well." -frank horrigan

yeah I know, I was defending clear liners. I suppose I did word that poorly. I meant it would make no negative difference.
Clear all the way.

giving it a couple more days will not hurt anything. from the picture your sub looks okay to put into fruiting conditions now and thats what I would do.

What about those tubs? Did they finish colonizing? they dont have top layer as the previous tub and colonized fast.
tub 1:

 
Tub 2:

the first tub pictures looked 99% done.
on tub 2 the very last picture on the right has a a few spots that need to finish colonizing. im not sure if that is a different tub. give it a day or two until all the substrate is fuzzy white.
people do a few different things after colonization.
1)apply a casing layer, wait until 100% colonization to induce fruiting. 2) apply a casing layer, wait until 30% colonization to induce fruiting. 3) fruit without a casing layer induce fruiting at 100% colonization.

much appreciated eatyoualive...i dont think iam going to case em...does it make a big difference in term of yields? iam growing cubes and i have already applied a top layer of substrate in the first tub in the original post. the others too arent covered with anything. do you consolidate?

ah so you did the substrate as casing method. don't add a casing for that tub. for me yields about the same with or without a casing. fruit size is larger on uncased subs. doesn't mean you won't get massive fruits on cased subs.
personally i never consolidate anything. isn't necessary for cubensis.
