Help what do i do (stalled monotub)

Hey so first post here, i think i posted in the right place...
I believe my monotub has stalled. It is my first time growing. it started off colonizing fast and i put poly in it and it has been introduced to light since day 1. About last week which was 2 and a half weeks after, i saw some yellow metabolites. I see hyphal knots, and i've seen them for about a week, but they won't pin. I can't get any good photos because my camera wont focus on them, but they are definitely hyphal knots. I visibly see the very small stem and cap. I haven't really noticed any signs of colonization for about a week, i still see rhizomorph, but i haven't really noticed any actual growth. There has also been some blueing on the knots.
Please help. What do i do??
edit- i see a small pin coming up from the side.

It's dry me thinks.
Soak it in some water for a couple hours and pour off the excess and continue fruiting conditions.
It won't hurt the development of the knots/pins/shrooms if your not rough with the substrate.
Oh it's sour smelling?
Well if it is really light(in weight) it's worth soaking it, but it's probably just loosing the battle to some bacterial invasion(hence the metabolites)

Yep just cold or room temp tap water right into the tub will be fine.

Shit. I can't believe i didn't use a liner, completely forgot. The sub has shrank, and i can literally see between the tub walls and the substrate. With another little pin i just spotted. None of the hyphal knots on top have grown more though.

I edited the sour smelling part out, i've been vaping a lot and after cleaning my palette it was just me being paranoid i smell coir and a mushroomy smell.
