Time to fruit this monotub? Pinning has begun!

Hey gang. My monotub has been colonizing for two weeks and surface conditions have looked good (in my opinion), but I can't really tell if this 100% colonized or not.... Can someone give me the go-ahead to start fruiting conditions, or are these premature pins a bad thing? Pins just came up today. Temp has stayed at 70 with ambient lighting and minimal opening of the lid over the last 14 days.
Please and thanks for the feedback!

Introduce fruiting conditions immediately. I can't think of anyone on the boards who doesn't fruit at spawning. (i'm sure they exist)
The best growers on here aren't waiting to introduce fruiting conditions anymore.

Not sure about your tub but I only use light and lower temps to fruit my crumbled cakes. To colonize, I have the temp 10 degrees higher, no fanning and no light. My understanding was that when you use those three triggers, lowering temp, fanning and light cycle you trigger the colonized substrate to fruit.

I have read that some people begin fruiting right after spawning, but I feel like I've seen more people suggest waiting for full colonization.... Maybe I'm wrong! I wonder what the pros and cons of each method would be. I guess I'm just uncertain what a fully colonized tub should look like. I've searched and searched through posts to find examples, but many/most photos are deleted. I'm sure waiting for colonization hasn't hurt it, per se, but I am pretty new to montubs, so.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks for the responses! I will probably start fruiting tomorrow, unless someone convinces me otherwise

Definitely start fruiting. Those aren’t premature pins, they’re pins because your sub is fully colonized and doesn’t have anything left to do except produce fruits
