how big is your mono? better yet how much substrate did you spawn to?

try to keep your substrate to spawn ratio low like 1:2 or 1:4. the more spawn the faster it colonizes the better the chance of not getting any contams. if you have 3 quarts of sub you should have at least 1 quart spawn. you have a pint. 4-5 1/2pint cakes would give you a quart of spawn. I have 18gal monos with 3"-4" sub depth and use around 12 quarts sub and 6 quarts spawn. 1:2 ratio. Ive used less and it takes longer to colonize and mold sets in b4 a second flush all the time.
I hope your tub is sealed up for gas exchange only and your not opening it to check on it you should have a view port cut out in your lid covered in clear plastic or plexi glass so you dont have to expose your uncolonized sub to freash air too early giving you a very uneven pinset and/or low yeild.
just a heads up incase you already havent done so.

I used straws to form a structor and then draped plastic wrap over/around for a lid.
yes, use many small pieces of myc in each transfer for faster colonization. I did that exact thing with the cakes in my milk jug.

you can see where I cut it away with a scalpel, it recovered for a second flush.

My tray of cpoo + verm + 2 pints followed by 1 pint spread on top then a verm/peat casing finally has one tiny tiny pin.
I hope they explode soon... I expected dozens to show up at once.
Should my casing layer be moist? The substrate is 100% wet but the casing layer is dry-dry-damp.

sounds good, next time try mixing your spawn with your sub then put the casing on, makes for a better flush due to the myc colonizing more of the sub getting more nutes.
a mist once in a while to give it a "glistening" look but no BIG drops or puddles will give your pins a nice drink.
If it looks dry.....mist, if you can visibly see moisture.....fan.
its a good rule of thumb
