Is it worth it to birth a jar early (one that is 6 days consolidated, just to get something in the SGFC, and curb my anxiety?

Day 21 Post Inoculation: Day 1 of consolidation is nearing an end, and as the birthing date gets closer, I am just getting very excited. I've begun putting some thought into what I'm going to do with my harvest fruit bodies. I am also of course hoping to start another round of PF Tek BRF jars shortly after I birth my current 12 jar culture.
It is now a full two days after the inoculation of my water/honey liquid cultures. I don't really know what I am looking for. I do have a concern. You can look at my pictures above to see what kinds of lids I have on my Liquid Cultures. I wonder do I still need to have the aluminum foil on the lids?

Day 22 Post Inoculation: Consolidation is by all means underway. Today I have finally felt a contentment for the time-taking nature of this project. I spent some time today researching mycelium in depth and came across some truly amazing stuff. I'd like to share it with those people who might be reading this grow log everyday. First the picture:
and the explanation:"This image may look like something dreamed up for a surreal horror movie, but it's a real horror for the tarantula in question. This unfortunate arachnid is infected with Cordyceps, a parasitic fungus that replaces its host's tissue with its own.
Cordyceps fungi invades its hosts (mainly arthropods), and its mycelium eventually replaces the host's tissue. Once the arthropod is dead, cylindrical or branching growths emerge from the creature's dead body. Some species also have mind-control capabilities, convincing the host to travel to a place where the fungus will find optimal growth conditions before the host dies."
More info: http://bit.ly/MaYrZB
Very cool stuff for those interested by mycology.

Day 26 Post Inoculation: I have birthed 10 of my 12 jars this morning! They all had a very distinct mushroom like smell! I couldn't have been happier! I was unable to wash off a thin layer of vermiculite from each cake, but I don't think that is anything to worry about. I have the cakes dunked right now and I plan on letting them soak for 12 hours, so that I can put them into the fruiting chamber tonight. I replaced the MG perlite in my fruiting chamber with all natural nameless very coarse Perlite. I'm very excited about my upcoming pinning.

Should have rinsed the verm layer, along with the contams off under a faucet.
Dunk for 24hrs, not 12.
When done with the dunk, roll them in dry verm and place in the SGFC.

Day 26 Post Inoculation, I birthed , dunked, and rolled 10 of my first ever 12 PF Tek jars. Very excited to start seeing some pins! Been misting regularly. RH is at 100%. Here's a picture

Day 29 Post Inoculation: 10 of my 12 Jar culture has been inside the fruiting chamber for 3 full days. I cannot see any pins yet, but I don't really know what I am looking for. I figure I will definitely know one when I see one. I am curious to know how small a pin can actually be. I have only been misting them once a day (except for on day number 1 in the SGFC when I misted them many times over the course of the day. Honestly I keep hoping to come home from work or wake up in the morning to nice pin set. Definitely pics coming at first sight of pins.
Meanwhile: Jars #11 and 12 are still consolidating. I have decided to push their consolidation for a few weeks. Much to my -facepalm- -eats fist-. After removing the aluminum foil from jars 11 and 12, the very small areas of uncolonized substrate on the bottoms of the jars have colonized.
MeanmeanWhile: It has been 10 days since I inoculated a set of 3 LC each sporting a different LC Lid Design (each with a homemade SHIP). I don't really know what I am looking for in the Liquid Cultures. There is definitely stuff in there, but I don't really know how much is Mycelium and how much is sediment from the PC sterilization of the water/Honey solution. I wonder if someone can tell me how I can know when my LC jars are ready to test on new PF jars?

I'm no expert but I've lurked a lot. From what others say, fuzzy white stuff means you're about to get pins. I'd mist and fan more than once a day if that's what you're doing. I believe 4-5 times is optimal.

Fuzzy or aerial mycellim is from not having enough FAE.
What is your misting/fanning schedule?
