Mateah said: 'incubation' implies an additional process besides colonization, but there is no other process needed.
Back in the day I used to use "incubation" to help facilitate the "colonization" process. So I have never considered it an extra step or process. That's why I say that using the word "incubation" implies using higher temps. And if you search "incubation" that's what you're gonna get.... old school TIT setups using aquarium heaters and saying keep your jars @ 86F. Am I guilty of doing that nonsense for longer than I care to admit? You fucking right I am.
Words are important when that's all we're dealing with here...

Damnit bro!! What should my temps be for colonization? That’s what I’ve read is about 80.. mine have been 71 at lowest and high of 79 is that about in range? Not trying to hijack this thread just seems like you know what you’re doing

Shoot for the low 70's(F) and it's hard to go wrong.

It's been almost four weeks now. First five 1/2 pint jars are moving along. The heated tub environment has worked well - constant 75º using a thermostat-regulated heating pad. I have included a couple photos in support of two questions:
1. Should I be waiting for the white color to also spread across the bottom? The mycelium have spread all the way around the outer circumference of the jars, but not across the bottoms. Even though the heat at bottom of jars is only 75º, could the fact that they are touching the heating pad be the reason that the mycelium isn't spreading across the bottom? The cakes have shrunken away from the sides, and there is still sufficient moisture inside the jars. If these jars are 90% colonized otherwise, then I am tempted to take the cakes out, crumble them and start a simple coir tub.
2. There appears to be a small pin starting near the top edge of the jar pictured on the right (see photo). Is that likely / possible? The only reasons it could be pinning already are that I am allowing the jars to see too much light (it's to the side of a window, with indirect light from outside filtering in to the jars). Or they are getting too much oxygen (I have left the four inoculation holes open on each jar. Holes are 1/16"). Or that isn't a pin.

There should be a gap between the jars and the heat mat. Other wise the bottoms of the jars will get too hot. They should be 100% colonized before birthing and fruiting.

Thanks for the input. I was being stubborn about not thinking I need separation between the warming mat and the bottom of the jars. I figured that if the thermostat probe was in direct contact with the warming mat, that setting it to 75º would ensure that the jars didn't overheat.
But I think that the jars are acting as a heat sink and getting warmer than the thermostat says.
It would explain why the inside bottoms of the jars seem more dry than the rest of the substrate. I'll add the spacer and see if that helps and allows some of the moisture further up in the substrate trickle down to the bottom.
