What am I doing wrong

So.....Some things in life came up, I hadn't really been into this hobby since I was last active on the forum, but I started being mildly active again. I found a jar of mycellium I'd forgotten I stashed around spring last year in a box of things before moving. The mycellium looked like it was in rough shape, it was covered in "mycopiss" and i thought it MIGHT be infected.
Then I stumbled on a great deal on about 20 lbs of rye grain (I'd previously been a WBS guy) and said fuck it. So I set up a plastic tent, bleached everything down, put on a tyvek suit, sterilized a spoon, and decided to grain to grain it to about 12 jars.
Some of the jars colonized just fine, 1 or 2 had this Vivid red/rust contam, darker than any mycopiss i'd ever seen, I decided to just throw those jars out entirely, and spawned the remainders to straight coir.
In the past, this strain was rather hearty, it started pinning about 2 weeks ago and I threw it in the fruiting chamber. I placed the buckets in my fruiting chamber. After getting a better look at things, I decided to take the cakes out of the buckets and reconstructed a martha with a fuck ton of plastic and a wire shelving form (the vinyl ripped a long time ago, and I tucked the disassembled shelving away for a while) Thats why theres no pins on the side I think.
Would this be considered a good pin set? Sorry for the depth of field fuckery, camera isn't cooperating.
I don't remember things going so slowly, it seems like these are growing super duper slowly. I'm using the same humidification techniques I used to, and I HAD (sorry, I know, pics or it didn't happen) some grow to be about 9 inches long with a cap the size of a slice of hard salami.
Why are things so small this time around? am I over/under humidifying? ahhh help please.
I know, I need to pick up a better humidification gauge, just shit fuck broke at the moment. Cool mist running continuously from outside the martha, fanning the entire martha 2x a day, and have an ultra sonic humidifier now going on only 12 times a day on about 1/4th power (just a little mist showing) till I can purchase a timer that kicks on at 15 minute intervals instead of 30.
My instincts say I'm over humidifying? Thanks for the input ahead of time. Am I just being paranoid? Is impatience getting the best of me? Am I missing ingredient X?

wow super skinny fruits.
do a search for thin fruits, but in my (albeit very noobish) opinion, it needs much more Fresh Air Exchange
best of luck

It would be awesome if all those pins mature, unfortunately I'm guessing there's going to be a lot of abbots.. Also, are the caps opening in the second pic?

that one on the left is a good pinset. and I think that the reason its underperforming is pretty obvious. the genetics came from a pf jar you had sitting in the garage for a year. personally I'd think of it as a huge success. you ressurrected life from a hopeless situation, G2G with a PF jar in a tent is BALLS. Get a print, make a Shotgun FC and start over. I bet it goes better next time around

Nope, caps aren't opening yet. Wait, no I'm a retard. One cap opened. Just slightly larger pins, no gills exposed, no veil, nothing yet. *fingers crossed*

Thanks, i'll try more fanning. The cool mist cycles all the air out of the two section caged area, pretty consistantly, i'll try bumping the fanning up to like 6x a day.

Do you mean get a print from these, or get a new print from a new species?
PF jar? You mean like the vermiculite PF cakes? It was a grain jar I'd inoculated from a syringe. Don't know if that makes a difference, probably fucking up my remembering of abbreviations.
I didn't mean tent like..camping tent, I meant i made a little clean room. I really need to get a flow hood. I could use it as an area to dry film negatives and conduct spiritual research.
Thanks a bunch everybody!
