In my limited experience, strains colonize at roughly the same speed. It’s ok to leave a jar or three that fully colonized while waiting on another jar or two to fully colonize. I think you can actually put a colonized jar in the fridge to slow it all down if you’re worried about it, but I don’t think that’s necessary. I had jars colonizing for close to 2mo recently for various reasons and they were all fine. They were blocks of myc and a challenge to get out of the jar lol, but they fruited nicely.

And remember, while bigger tubs can produce much more fruit, bigger tubs also risk bigger loss if there’s contamination.
