Quick colonization. 9 days 90%

So if have jars that have almost fully colonized in 9 days they are at 90% and some are borderline 100% so now here is my question how long should I let them consolidate before I actually put them in the fruiting chamber everyone says a week but also everyone says it takes at least two or more weeks to get full colonization.

If they colonized that fast, I would be worried it was mold.
Post some pics
But after 100% colonization, you give them another week to consolidate, yes. Although, if mine got to 100% that fast, I would probably let them consolidate for two weeks.
What did you do? Spore syringe to 1/2pint brf jars?

I finally got a few sets of the proper short fat wide mouths, and it seems they're colonizing faster than the tall skinny ones. Could be my imagination though.

Well, they seem to be fine. I would just let them finish to 100%, and then give at LEAST a week for consolidation, if not two.

It's very very dry where I live so I figured an extra cc wouldn't hurt i am aware it only takes 2 spores but we'll what can I say. I'm not looking to grow pounds I just wanna make little shroomvillas and consume them so that I can go to shroom land.

You know I keep these on alil built in book case in my closet I go in and out to change clothes keeping the door closed as for the light I just use the one in there I try to leave it on during the day and I turn it off when I go to work at night so I know they have at least 10 hours straight darkness during the day though the light does get turned off periodically.

I do about the same thing, but spray Lysol in the closet 2-3 times a day. Lights turn on when I wake up and off when I go to bed.

For future reference you don't want to add more spore solution than it calls for. It's calls for 1cc max for a reason. More spore solutions gives a chance for more bacterial contamination, as well as too much moisture, AND too many spores. You only need a tiny amount of solution per hole, which is why it calls for 1/4cc.
Also you don't need to spray Lysol haha. And a 12/12 light cycle is beneficial at all stages of growth. They would also be better off with the closet door open at all times. But especially, and more so, during fruiting. Not a huge deal when colonizing because they need GE and not really FAE, until fruiting.

Hmm so my jars are still okay right? No visible contams yet and yeah if read multiple threads and alotta people say the problem with to many spores is to many sub spieces trying to fight over the jar and in my case that didn't seem to happen they seem alil moist but I also read its better that then dry

Well the too many genetics thing isn't really the problem. It's the chance for bacteria and being too moist.
But, yes, they do seem fine by the look of it. Just really, really fast..
