alpaca compost tray in shotgun fc

this tray took almost two weeks to start pinning in a shotgun fc its sitting on a few inches of perlite. I covered most of the holes in plastic wrap to trap in the humidity. I've been fanning and misting once a day.
you can see from the pics I have some growth but I'm a little disapointed in the amount, you can also see i have what some are calling mycelium piss? wth is that? no trich so far and no aborts which is awesome ,but I only seem to be getting growth near the edges
How can I increase pinning on this tray? would it benefit by being moved to a monotub? should I take it out of the baking dish and place it on a rack inside the tub to allow the pins on the bottom to grow? any other suggestions?

^ the Bubble wrap tek, would be the simplest way to get better pinsets. (literally gently place a sheet of bubble wrap over your tray for a day or a few depending on your objective, It creates a micro-climate, which is what your already doing by building a FC)
The next thing you could do would be to modify your FC to increase FAE as well as RH, and then ample misting.
The best pinning trigger is evaporation - which happens through misting, lots of FAE, and a high RH.
Either way your looking good 
Generally, you can expect big mushrooms if you have few pins, and then your subsequent flushes should be strong as well.
