No Fruit after 35+ Days... Please Help!!

Hi Guys,
I am a newb, I have been reading this forum for months, and you guys are awesome. I have been meaning to more actively join this community but my first post comes out of desperation. I am fruiting my first set of Cubes. The strain is Puerto Rico. I inoculated LC to Wheat, and once it completely colonized I spawned to bulk using Coco Coir. Once it turned completely white, I expected it to start fruiting, but I forgot that it needed light exposure. So for about 3 weeks, I moved the cover of the container to give it about an inch of FAE and I sprayed with a fine mister twice per day. I think I was giving it too much FAE because every morning it would completely dry out. Now the pics provide are about 40 days after moving to bulk and about 25 days since they turned completely white after spawned to Coco.
They are turning yellow, but they don't smell funky, so I don't think it's mold. I also did the Qtip test and it is not making the Qtip yellow. For over a week now, I moved it next to the window and I continue to spray it with water, but it clearly is still not working. My home is right around 72 degrees which I read is close to optimal
Is it possible to save these tubs? Should I add more Coco and mix it with the sub or break it up? I have been stumbling through this hobby for about 5 months and made many mistakes to get to this point and had different contam issues in my wheat jars, and agar plates, but I don't think that this is what I am dealing with now. Definitely not in all the tubs as some are still white, since they were all separate, and they were absolutely snow-white about 6-10 days after I went to bulk with Coco, so it seems like they are just drying out. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Note: I have more tubs than the pics provided, I shared these due to upload limits, but I still have a couple that have not turned yellow yet.
Please help me salvage anything possible....

I'm sorry this won't be helpful but that looks like really old lasagna. Like, I need eye bleach.

Did you make the LC did you test it? Pics of spawn? Your tubs are contaminated as fuck you can toss them

Always test your LC on agar first before using it to inoculate your grains to ensure it’s clean. That’s most likely where you went wrong. Also what method of sterilization did you do for your grains? Your tubs look bacterial and way off, that’s why it didn’t fruit.

May I ask about your jars pictured ? What is the grey at the top of one of those ? What is the Tek you employ for those good looking grows ? Thank you

I think I followed Bodhi''s tek for wheat, and to fruit I followed a youtube video, where I mixed the colonized mycelium with Coco Coir 1 to 1.5 ratio, then I left them in the cabinet, they were white in 7-10 days, then I moved the cover off the tub leaving it open 1 inch for FAE, and misted them twice a day.
I also had a couple of Uncle Ben's packages completely colonized, then I moved to bulk as above.
I have tested LC on Agar and it was clean. If you guys saw these tubs 2 weeks ago they were completely white, and looked like they were ready to fruit. They have turned yellow in the last week or so. I have some that are still white, I"m going to share the pics. Do you think they were contaminated when they were white and I just couldn't see it?

I think misting when needed based on surface conditions is preferred over misting twice a day no mater what. Perhaps that caused too wet a condition?

Do you think this is contaminated? Because every tub I have shared above, looked like this or whiter 10 days ago. They smell like earth, and a cotton swab does not pick up any spores or other discolored stuff. Sometimes it's hard to tell in pictures and it may look like mold, but it's just dried out as shit mycelium. I am not denying my methods are very flawed, and I will not claim I know more than anyone here, I still have a ton to learn but from all my experiences with 4-5 different molds in the last 5 months, this doesn't look, smell or feel like any of the ones I have encountered. Maybe I just killed the mycelium without the help of other fungi...

I misted it twice a day because it was drying out, and I was trying to keep little droplets, on top of the mycelium to keep the humidity up. It wasn't puddling, I didn't drown it in buckets of water. I think it was drying out constantly because I live in a desert, and there isn't much humidity here, so maybe leaving the cover off an inch was too much FAE.

Bacteria, yeet.
Actually, wait and see if it does anything, I'm interested enough to bite.

The first jar on the left seems to have a grey colour band, top third, wondered what that might be. I ask only because I have some bacterial jars which I will try to top fruit anyway, just to see what happens. To learn basically. Also, thanks for the Tek info !

Sorry, something went wrong with my reply, to another poster on this thread  https://files.shroomery.org/files/23-007/630210097-8657890F-20AC-4925-BECD-A23539EF80F2.jpg This jar seems to have that grey colour.

ah i see it. i think its mostly just contrast from the yellow tinge that has gathered on the bottom half of the jar, and perhaps some blueing. its normal to get a layer of aborts right below the surface
everything ive seen you post has been bacterial. its very subtle contam, common for new growers not to recognize it. spraying every day definitely makes it worse, conditions dry enough to require spraying every day will also stress the surface. if things are drying out that quickly you need to reduce FAE drastically. you should hardly have to mist at all
