Pinning before full colonization is pretty good sign that you have contaminated (most likely bacterial) spawn.
8-10 days is actually a fairly long time for full colonization of coir I've found lately, it's more like 4-6 days (@1:2.)
Redboy is a great variety 
There's a whole trendy thread about colonizing tubs that are basically in fruiting conditions by azur, hasn't done that for anyone that's tried it afaik.
I guess it miiight fruit if you really suck at mixing your spawn in, but I don't think it's too likely. Another possibility is that you aren't used to what fully colonized coir looks like (pretty thin compared to PF cakes/grains/straw.)
Pics look good and very densely colonized ???

I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister. I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave. I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent. Triggered yet? Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."
No, this does not look right...

I also use redboy for the most part. Almost all my cultures are tomentose on agar and rhizo in grain/PF. My redboy seems to have mutated into mutant rustpore print. Still half purple brown prints, so I'm assuming it's not CRS or PFRS

I gave up trying to find a tight fitting lid solution and bought the wide roll of Saran Wrap like material at the hardware store, pull it tight over the tub and tape four corners then put the lid on over it. Seems to keep the airtight seal much better than any tub I could find locally.

Looks a little bit airstarved to me, but that could just be genetics. The cap to pin ratio looks a bit off to me. If you fruit it in open air, you might wanna try late casing. I'm not a fan of it, but starting with an uncased sub then trying to open air fruit it, it would probably aid in moisture retention.
Personally I'd look at loosening the top poly a bit.
Yehhhh, REDBOY

Why are you making your tubs air tight?

 Just put on the lids for your tubs and don't tape them up. The imperfect seal is what will supply the GE that your colonizing tub needs.

probably some off-site information, I've seen sites that promotes weather stripping your monos. all living things like a little GE and not being choked in a plastic box.

I leave GE for colonization, just not through the lid. That was the problem he identified, loose lid causing premature pinning, right?

It really depends on if you have a lid that "clicks" into place. In that case, small airgaps will be created that supply enough GE for your colonizing mono.
If the lid just sits on top and doesn't really form any type of seal, then it'll be allowing too much GE, maybe even some FAE. If that's your situation, then tape up only the four corners so it can sit firmly on top.

There are other ways to achieve GE besides the loose lid method my friend. The OP suggested he was in a FAE state causing premature pinning. If that is true then a tighter lid solution may be in order for his space, or at least worth experimenting with to prove out his theory.

If the tub is pinning before 100% colonization is reached, then it isn't a FAE/GE issue, it's a bacterial issue.

sounds like OP is in denial over dirty spawn to me. Trays are merely covered with alu foil, that's way looser than any lid onto a box, and they do perfectly fine.
there's plenty of ways to achieve ge but why tape the lid shut and then strive to make another hole or 2 for ge?
