My First Casing w/pics - Comments & Criticisms Welcome

Casing is 5 parts peat, 5 parts verm, 0.5 parts Calcium Carbonate and 0.5 parts Calcium Sulfate. Substrate is Verm/BRF PF Cakes. Strain is Ecuador.
(6) ½-pint jars crumbled and cased. No PCing or pasteurizing of the casing. Unfortunately I underestimated the amount of substrate I was going to have and couldn't cover the entire bottom of the aluminum lasagna pan so I made as much of a substrate layer as I could while maintaining a layer of approximately 1" and applied the casing, building a wall of casing where the substrate ran out. Not ideal by any stretch, I realize. Placed in my FC (20 gallon aquarium with perlite layer on bottom) @ 60-75° with 12/12 lighting via 20W 6500K Fluorescent bulb. Fanned and sprayed as needed. Began poking thru after 1 week and redistributed the casing with a clean fork in place of patching with fresh casing. Voila, 2 weeks and ass-loads of pins. Obviously my method had some less than ideal conditions, but it appears as if everything is working out fine. Although the pinset isn't exactly even with 2-4 of the kids outrunning the others.
Moral of story: Don't be afraid to case, if this sloppy, half assed attempt worked.

Ugh, what a buzz kill...hollow stems. Big flush, little returns coming. Has anyone a definitive answer to the cause of this. I've read 100 reasons, and no one seems to agree.

I have a quart of soft white wheat berries colonized with KSSS that I cased last weekend. I couldn't believe how fast that entire jar colonized. Now I am jusst waiting for them to peek through and fruit.
