Is this mini mono ready to be cased?

I apologize for such a noob question but could anyone tell me if this tub is ready to be cased. It was spawned 3 days ago. That seems kind of early to me but tell me what you all think. Thanks for the help ahead of time!

This is the mini mono tub. It is 20 quarts. I spawned 2 quarts of wbs nocced up with MS syringe, it was spawned to 4 quarts of coir/verm/gypsum that had been properly pasteurized at between 140 and 170 for 2 hours. I know thats not necessary but I am not taking any risks.
I looked around on here for tubs and how they look when they are ready to be cased but i cant seem to get a feel for when people are doing it. Some do it when it looks less colonized than this but others wait way longer. 
I just want an answer from a reliable source!

I would give another day or two but that is pretty good for only being 3 days into spawn run.

There are a couple patches of uncolonised coir there. Don't case until they fill in.

Thanks for the responses so quickly.
I will wait a few more days but I was surprised that it colonized so quickly as well. This is my very first attempt at a mini mono or any kind of mono at all. I have mostly been doing BRF cakes and spawning those to horse poo and vermiculite. I wanted to up the yield so I decided to move to mono tubs and since I am new to it I decided to try with a mini mono first so I can get a feel for how they work.
BTW I appreciate no one being an ass.

I usually get full colonisation around day 5 with a spawn rate that high. It nothing unusual.

Thats nice to hear. I am happy this will be a regular thing in terms of how long it takes to colonize. Its much quicker the BRF cakes as well.

Okay, so I put this into fruiting conditions on sunday the 11th and I am now seeing this..

I may have screwed something up and I cant figure out what since i've never done a mini mono before. It looks like there are knots on it but they dont appear to be what my idea of a hyphal knot is. I really need someones advice. I could tape it back up and put it back in colonizing conditions or let it keep fruiting. I did not apply a casing layer either.
This is what it looks like from the outside while I have had it in fruiting conditions. Polyfill is tight on bottom and loose AF on top.

It's hard to get a good pic of hyphal knots, especially when taken from that distance. The tub looks great. Keep it in fruiting conditions. Keep up the good work, you will be rewarded for it.
