Looks pretty healthy to me. I don't see any FAE holes in your tub though.

got that fa shooooo.....two air stones ran under the hydroton and perlite. I still open the chamber about 3 times a day for misting and air exchange. I'm hoping this method is sufficient.

I guess I kinda lied...I had a shotgun set up and the first cake I dropped in got attacked by the green meanie within 24-48 hours and there was also an issue with moisture loss...this was a quick emergency cet up that I had immediate positive results so I will be doing a much larger scale set up soon to come.

all i know is that your casing is colonizing - not a great thing especially if all of your casing is colonized
purpose of casing is to provide moisture and provide a micro climate - if fully colonized then it cant serve it's purpose and then pinning becomes difficult
now,how to remedy it? i don't know...i can't find the answer and have done tons of search queries...my casing is colonizing as well and i don't know what to do

I waited for my jars to completely colonize I thought...then I dunked and rolled and placed them in the FC. I assumed they were already colonized once the myc had completely consumed all the brf and verm in the jar...help me out here, i'm all ears...

i just found this quote from RR
If you're casing, you WANT the mycelium to colonize up to 2/3 of the casing layer. The mycelium that colonizes the casing layer carries moisture from the casing down and into the substrate.

Gotta give 'em a week of consolidation after they are 100% colonized.

They should be fine.
EDIT: The one on the left is nearing 100% colonization. Try adding holes in your FC to allow more FAE. Your co2 levels could be to high causing the mycelium to colonize the casing layer *Dont take my word for this. Do a little research but I would recommend more FAE then just a pump.
