Early pinnning in spawn bag? Need urgent help (with pics)

So I have a 3lb spawn bag that I inoculated about a month ago, and I noticed the mycelium growth seemed to be stalling in the dark, slightly colder than my bedroom closet, and I took it out so it could be exposed to some ambient light and a higher temperature and it started taking off. I broke it up and mixed it around 40% colonization and now Im guessing its about 80% colonized. Theres mycelium all over the bag, but you can still see quite a few grains showing, its not completely caked white yet.
Checked earlier today and I noticed that there's maybe 20 pins all over the bag starting to pop up. I know that if I break it up again to boost the colonization, the pins will likely rot and introduce contams, but if I keep it out in ambient light and warm temps, the pins might keep growing and the mycelium might stop. How should I handle this?

Even with the risk of contam from it not being fully colonized? And should I pick out the pins before I spawn it?

If it pinned like that before full colonization there's probably already contams. And if it is fully colonized without contams, the pins wouldn't magically sprout bacteria or mold after breaking it up. It would be sterile save for the cubensis.

If your bag is contamed its contamed. Your bag is telling you it has some healthy mycelium that wants to grow. Mix with your sub and see what happens. What do you have to lose?

Alright so its been about four days since I spawned to bulk, and this is how my tub looks currently. Look healthy enough to you guys? Been giving it a light misting daily because when I wake up I often dont see any water droplets on the surface, but haven't been fanning due to contam risk.

It's looking good. I wouldn't mist it just yet even if there are no droplets of water to be seen. Beads of moisture start to form naturally when the surface is more colonized and the colony starts preparing for fruiting. The heat the colony produces coupled with correct air exchange favors the appearance of those droplets on the surface.
Misting daily so early could be more problematic than anything. You can mist at any point if it really needs it, but it's just not the case IMO.
TL;DR? Just let it be, you can fuck up by misting it daily so early for no good reason.
