Looking for a status report from experienced persons! [pics]

I have two tubs, one I cased and the other I put the cakes in on their own. Both are at 71f and 90-95%rh. They have both been in here for 9 days.
I am hoping these will fruit soon but I need a more experienced eye to check them out.
Thank you for your input!

You need to build a proper sgfc vermiculite is not perlite and I don't see 1/4 holes every 2 inches. How are you going to prove fae to the mono tub? It also looks like it's ready to fruit I'm looking at the pic from my phone but I think I see knots did you use straight verm as a casing?

Yes the casing is perlite on the bottom and cased in a layer of vermiculite. I currently have two holes on each tub and I am fanning regularly; do you recommend I add more holes?

You don't case perlite. Perlite is for sgfc's and it not effective if there isn't holes on the bottom of your tub every 2 inches.
You got your cakes and spawn this far so now just go research sgfc's and monotubs and fix your tubs!

No, it is not....
Perlite is meant to humidify a SGFC and that is it.
It provides nothing else....it definitely cannot be cased....even if you cased it, this would be useless.

I recommend you actually follow a tek.
Try this one.

Cakes go on foil, or jar lids, but not directly touching the perlite.
You coat the cakes in dry verm after dunking them for 24 hours.
This is simple stuff.

Alright I see what you're saying. Since the tub is already colonized and there isn't much I can do to shift things around, will these fruit anyways? Then I can change my setup next time around.
Thank you for your help!

Yes there is.....get the cakes out of that tub, and put them in a proper SGFC.
We just explained what to do.
And the tub is not colonized, the cakes in the tub are.
You are trying to fruit the cakes in this step, not colonize anything else.

And for the tub without the cakes look up monotubs in the search bar you will be able to adjust that one with some more holes and polyfill

Ok I suppose I should explain myself, I used a WBS method to prepare the jars, that all went very well. After that I already had perlite and vermiculite around so I decided to try to make it work with those, knowing that it's not a proper SGFC.
I posted this so that any drawbacks of my setup will be realized and I will have input for future experimenting.
All in all, I'm not looking for bulk or anything fancy at this point, just looking to see if I can do it.
Thanks y'all.
