So this is my second go round with the Burma strain. BRF didn't work out to well. I followed RR's Tek and thats the result after 8 days... 2 more to go. But I've never been good at determining the percent its at, so what do you people think? BTW when I took off my shelf the middle cracked. Should I be concerned? Thanks peeps.
Also sorry, it was Damion5050's Coir Tek BTW.

I'm supposed birth it on Wednesday, but do think I should before though. I'm asking a lot of noob-ish questions because this year has sucked for me growing. Nothing but aborts & trich. So I'm just trying to cover my bases is all.

It may only be 99.83% tomorrow, best to give it until Wednesday.

I say fruit that now, the entire surface is completely covered with no visible coir exposed, you're good to go!! Keep those top holes loosely filled with polyfil and stuff the bottom holes tightly. Keep us updated, I wanna see some pin porn!

+ What is your bulk substrate?
+ What were your spawn ratios?
Higher spawn ratios give faster bulk substrate colonization times. I use moderate spawn ratios, say, 1:4, or so .. and my bulk colonizes in about 7 days.
I've seen coir based substrates take a while to finish up the final 5%.
My bulk is colonized in 7 or 8 days. I let it sit (consolidating ) another 3 days or so and then put into fruiting conditions. so 10 to 12 days from spawning to fruiting conditions.
Sounds like you are on this schedule.

You guys have to be trolling? that picture is so blurry I can't tell whether or not that's just a bin filled with playground gravel; let alone how far along colonization is.

.... so you are at day 7 (Wednesday makes 10 days) ... you are looking good.
tubs that have colonized for 20 days and still haven't finished are tubs with problems. you are looking great.
you could fruit now, or wait until 10 days and fruit on Wednesday. definitely, when you see pins, fruit.
good luck
+ is your substrate covered with condensation droplets?
edit: even though your pic is out of focus, I've seen enough tubs to tell you are at or approaching full colonization

Colonizing tubs produce heat so you should have little droplets of condensate all over your sub's surface.
the air flow from fruiting conditions will evaporate the droplets off the surface.
I don't like to leave wet tubs in stale air conditions too long.
You could fan your tub (once per day) for the next 3 days as it consolidates to introduce some fresh air in there .. and go into full fruiting mode on Wednesday.

My best guess is ball jars. I think you're fine buddy. And I agree idk what to advise. It's too blurry.

In your pic I don't see holes at substrate level on the long sides of the tub. ? 10 gallon sterilite tub?
pint wide mouth? I don't think they are qts. ?
at any rate, your tubs looks good and is at or approaching 100%
how does it smell?
don't be afraid of it. open it up and check it out
