What do now?

This is like my third attempt at growing. First time I neglected the entire substrate aspect and tried to use rye bags the entire process and it got way contam.
Anyways I started with one uncle Ben's rice and one syringe about two weeks ago, they hardly did anything but there was one bead of spawn. I got way too much coir cause this was the only brick they had.
I didn't spread the brf GT spawn through the whole thing, just the top middle, as I think the ratio is way off with this much coir, but it's too late to do anything as far as that goes now.
There is some colonization, this is about 3 days since tub.
At first I had the stock lid on it, but it leaves no room for growing up, so I replaced it with inverted Amazon box.
I've been fanning and misting here and there.

Stop fanning that doesn't help at all, a couple of things here.
1. the way you made your PF Cakes not sure if you follow a tek or just use old information. and did you use spores or LC ?
2. coco coir you don't have to use the whole brick. and not sure if you sterilized the coco coir before adding it either.
I would start a new project if I were you and follow the tek that is on my sig.
&& just a side note uncle ben rice (it may work for some) but don't use that it contam already a

Here is what it looks like now. I went back to the plastic lid, even though it's really close against the coir and mycelium. I will have to go to the cardboard box on top later on. For now, I'm leaving it alone to see if it colonizes.

Will it ever fully colonize. I put regular lid back on, but I have this box with window on top for when it's fruiting time if ever. Can I get any shrooms out of this at all? Any way to fruit without full colonization if it doesn't?

Well it was basically uncle Ben's brown rice the precooked kind and I injected it 2 weeks before I put it in the wet coir. I was trying to do a monotub but I only had this Rubbermaid bin. Now it's colonizing some but it's going to be too close with the lid eventually if they are to grow, so I was thinking of putting cardboard box upside down over it when the time comes, with a window on top for some light.

Cardboard is porus.. that won't work. Go look up dubtub shoebox monotub. You're welcome.
Also at Did you fill the whole tub? You know it's only supposed to be maybe 20% full when you're going grain to bulk.

Damn man, those are questions of someone who hasn't researched nearly enough at all. You need to start all over and actually read. The info is here.

Uncle Bens rice is a waste of time, you are more likely to grow mold. And 2 weeks is way too short when you use a spore syringe. Was the cake all white when you took it out of the bag?
Follow the PFTek next time. It will save you headaches in the future.
