Stalled tub, first grow

I'm as noob as can be, please be gentle.
This is my first ever grow. I'm doing it to try to help my depression (decades-long, unresponsive to every damn legal treatment on earth). Everything has gone well, if slow, and I haven't seen or smelled any contams. But my tub seems to have almost totally stalled out.
I bought a kit from North Spore (I know, please forgive me) including a tub, grain bag, substrate, and micropore tape/filters for tub holes. I ordered a spore syringe from a reputable vendor suggested on this site. The strain is Thai Koh Samui. The grain is a mix of wheat berries and millet. The substrate is horse manure, coco coir, and a few other unspecified things. I did not case my tub.
I went with a kit because my current crippling depression means it's a good day if I can brush my teeth, let alone sourcing ingredients/materials/equipment, assembling, sterilizing, etc. Following a DIY tek is simple to a functional person but, right now, beyond my capabilities. Not making excuses, just laying out the circumstances and why I did what I did.
I inoculated the grain bag with the spore syringe on 8/8 and mixed the colonized grain with the bulk substrate in the tub on 9/5. It really took off at first, but has progressively slowed. I have lots of what I think are primordia, and i think they're still increasing in number and growing, but VERY slowly. I've seen a few pins, I think, and some things that look like tiny, tiny mushrooms, but they're not growing any larger.
The tub stayed closed during colonization of the BS. I first opened it on 9/27, because it looked fully colonized, to encourage pinning/fruiting by fanning and misting a couple of times a day. I've tried to be conservative about it, figuring it's better to leave it alone than fuck with it too much. The tub is on a kitchen counter with good indirect light, and stays at 69-71 degrees and 92 - 99 RH. It's very consistent. The surface maybe tends toward dryness, especially around the edges where there's more airflow. I try to keep it misted without going overboard.
I've tried to be patient, but it's not progressing anymore and I'm not sure what to do. Happy to answer any questions. Thanks for your help, my shroomy friends.

welcome fren
this is a very typical kit grow. all you can do is wait and see. mist until you see lil beads on the surface, NEVER EVER EVER FUCKING FAN omygodimsorrypleaseforgivetheoutburst, and let it do its thing. theres really not much to be done at this point
read both links in my sig, and start a PF grow. its the easiest and cheapest way to get some medicine. best of luck to you. dont hesitate to ask lots of questions

Thanks for the kind words.
Is there a chance it could still produce some fruits? Could I do something to reset the tub, like removing the little balls and soaking it, like some people suggest doing between flushes?
I've been reading all I can on here, and I have a couple of good books, but there's so much info to sort through (sometimes conflicting).
Thanks again awesome human.

if you have more time and energy for this tub, put it somewhere else. start a new grow, learn PF TEK, learn agar, whatever. mush cult is slow so it makes sense to have multiple projects going
I've been reading all I can on here, and I have a couple of good books, but there's so much info to sort through (sometimes conflicting). yes there is a lot of questionable advice floating around. beware of books, kits, pretty much anything that costs money. stick to this site, use the search engine, stick to info from TCs and stuff posted in the last five years, when youve read everything and still dont get it, start a thread
Thanks again awesome human. stick around fren grow lots of shrooms.
