B+ mini-tubs ready to case ... next steps advice please ...

Hi,
Looking for guidance on 3 x minitubs. They are kind of half way between cakes & tubs ... so not 100% sure what is best procedure.


Background: * all are B+ spawn chunks from cut up BRF cakes * spawn ratio 1:6 * pics are 5 days after spawning * tub sizes 1 pint
I turned the tubs upside down and contents onto the lids for the pics. They are now back inside the tubs.
Plan: * I'm going to case in a 1/2" or 1cm layer of vermiculite. * verm will be damp & microwaved, then spread evenly onto the surface.
Once the mycelium breaks through the casing: 1. should I dunk for 4-8 hours - fill the tubs up with water 2. should I cold shock in fridge overnight - while dunking or just fridge 3. should I put the lids back on while waiting for pins (with regular FAE fanning) - or take the lids off 4. should I put them into my FC inside the tubs ? - or put them in on the lids, as per the pics 5. if it's suggested that I put them into the FC on their lids, then I think a dunk & roll case is best ?
Sweet ... any ideas or suggestions welcome.

put the C.layer on cover tightly with foil or saran wrap and poke a few liottle holes in 4 gas exchange. and let incubate for a few days.
after the myc pops thought your casing layer, usally 2 or 3 days, put straight into fruiting chamber.(take foil off!)
You don't need to cold shock cubensis,it will slow it down.
you dont need to dunk your project either for the first flush.
take lids off when putting in the fruiting chamber.
read Hypaes thread over and over again, its all you need to know about misting casings and fanning
