How does this tub look?

So I had quite a few tubs that I didn't get to field capacity and they dried out.
So I hydrated my grains this time and added more water to the substrate to get it at field capacity. They're definitely looking much better than my previous tubs. IGNORE the date that is written on the tub, that is completely wrong and was written for the substrate that dried out before this one.
This one was done on the 25th (5 days ago). I refuse to put it into fruiting conditions until I at least see knots or preferably pins. Unfortunately, I'm terrible at identifying knots and was wondering if someone could tell me if I have any and also if everything looks good?
In the corner of the tub, it looks a little different. I can't tell if the substrate just looks drier on that side or if it's just colonizing more. I assume it's just colonizing more because the mycelium looks a bit more "connected".

Here's a better picture of that corner:

And here's an overview of the tub in general:

Just want to make sure this one is good before I do what I did last time and make a bunch of tubs that are fucked.

Also, this is what the side of the tub looks like. Should it be more colonized than this or is this normal?

I'm using verm that's more fine than what I'm use to using, could that be my problem (if I have a problem)?

Why you are not using black bag to avoid side pins?

If he can dial in conditions on top good enough he won't see side pins. I use liners more for making clean up easier.

Is it bad that I don't mind side pins if they come either? I have a long razor blade that's easy to just slide and pull em out. Not to say I won't try to Keep my conditions good, but is side pinning bad other than it just being a nuisance to pick?
