First grow...I'm still waiting on pinning...Cakes have not shown pinning yet, but it is only day 5. Im curious about everyones opinions on if this is looking right or not? Thanks for reading and any comments...

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.

I just read that a couple 1 inch polyfil holes should do just fine in helping me out with FAE...project will be completed tomorrow afternoon once I get off work. Thanks again guys/girls!
