Shake jars a couple days before spawn or the day of?

I was researching some old posts and found some information that I could have been using a long time ago. When your jars are colonized and your ready to spawn do you usually shake them up a couple days prior to give the mycelium a chance to start reg rowing before they are spawned to your substrate. I have previously shaken the jars of colonized grains earlier in the day that I spawn on. Now it makes more sense to shake a couple days early. Can you please explain to me if this is in fact true and the benefits behind it? I would like to improve my spawning success rate and this may help out.

The shake is one test to see if your jars are clean
If they re colonise in a day or 2 they are usually good to go
The next test is to shake before use, open the jar and sniff. Mushroom smell = good old whiskey drinking granny or sweet garbage can = bad.

I do the smell test and they smell like sweet success not old dingy whiskey. I'm more curious if it helps them to take quicker to the substrate if they had a couple days of recovery since they were shaken up

Doesn't really matter. A shake the day before will allow the mycelium time to start to recover and may decrease run time but it's probably negligible.
