Updated original post with pic of todays shaken grain jar. Does anyone see contamination here. My untrained eye thinks this looks great.

Sometimes the little spikey pieces of myc can be indicators of a slight bacterial contam but sometimes it just looks that way. Either way that jar is looking pretty good to me and will be ready to spawn soon. Are the other jars getting caught up to that one?

The other jars are not getting caught up. That’s why I shook them today. I’m thinking of taking this one and going g2g and spawning more tubs than originally planned. I’ve decided on no-touch mini monotubs as found in FunGuyFruits you tube vids. This would allow smaller batches per tub in case things go bad. I need 2.5 quarts of spawn per tub so I’m going to do 5 quarts from this one when it’s colonized. Going to do CVG for my bulk in the tubs.

Looks like the shoeboxes are colonizing. Original post updated with pics.

Looks like it's going well, fast colonization on the boxes. I also did a lot of 1:1.5ish tubs and a couple 1:3-4 and the 1:3-4 performed much better imo. The substrate shrank and got wrekt I felt like before being able to put enough water in to the shrooms. I've noticed a lot of people using shoeboxes go 1:3ish unless their spawn is questionable, then they'll go lower on the sub.
More importantly IMO is that you should find a flat tool/item(like a flat trowel) to compress the whole shoebox evenly. This is a lot more important than it seems.
Great job so far! My first tubs are almost done and got 15 jars colonizing for the next run. Adding more sub and using a flattening tool are the things I'm changing after a successful first run as well.

Thanks for the tips. Getting a trowel today. I have 5 more shoeboxes to make up this coming week. I guess hand flattening isn’t enough.
So when you say the substrate is likely to get wrekt, I’m hoping I still get a decent first flush.
Congrats on your successes and thanks for sharing your lessons learned.

I'm new to this too I made a post asking if my set up was any good but no feed back yet I'm excited an this is one of the things I been looking forward too I spent alot of time researching but it's never enough I enjoy learning more an more I love seeing other grows like what y'all got going on , I have those same 6ct Tupperware pot I was thinking of splitting the spawn bag I got open an just splitting em up the Grain Bag I have but I haven't yet too nervous lol but I feel like it would colonize faster I want to do what ever I can to colonize faster I Wana get Uncle Ben's try that with some golden teacher an one with b+ I Wana make small containers too what should I do ?

Last post on my progress, also updated in original post.
Last harvest was last night. In the end I got 5 good flushes from the dinosoil with big huge fruit totaling 1766g.
I got 10 flushes of small thin stapes fruits from the coir only boxes but only got 1369g from it.
Final lessons learned: dinosoil was not at field capacity. Required more misting. Will hydrate before trying it again.
Total yield for first grow: 3135g. Or just over 110oz. 8.9oz dried. 0.89 dried ounces per quart of colonized grain.
Overall I’ve learned a ton, enjoyed the journey, had some good trips, and got a pretty good result for a first time grower.
Next grow will be FP+ followed by nats. Many other varieties are on agar, but I’m not sure how viable many of my agar plates are. I fear I poured them too shallow and things are not going well. The FP+ is ready for grain, and the Nats are growing out well. So I have a few exciting grows to look forward to in the near future.
