The speed of colonization will depend on the speed of the mycelium and the spawn ratio.
It usually takes me a week + - a day for full colonization of the small trays I use....
I should mention I'm a compulsive peeker. I check mine out if not every day, every other day LOL. It's never done anything disastrous to my grows. But make sure it's just a peek and not a long drawn out stare LOL.

My poo is shoebox sized trays 5 days to FULLY colonize. Then another 3 with the casing layer.

mixed the poo/spawn, covered it, and tubbed em (6qt tubs) Sunday morning (yesterday). i figured on waiting until Friday morning to check on em... however, i know if they're gonna contam - it won't take that long and i dont wanna harbor contams.
i used a high spawn ratio. no way to know for sure, but it was mixed VERY liberally (i have cakes to spare right now) and i put a GOOD topping of crumbled spawn on top of the whole thing(s).
should either colonize - or contam pretty quickly. i'm not using a TiT or a Heat bomb. i got a 30 gallon Sterilite tub and it fits 9 - 6qt rubbermaid (shoebox size) tubs in it like a glove. it's sitting realtively close to a very reliable digital oil-filled space heater. i got a thermometer probe inside the tub and last time i checked, the temp was around 77 degrees.

Poo is really contam resistant man. Have no fear.
Checking it friday would be a good idea.
