As you asked buddy here's some updated pictures 
 
I have a couple questions about the last picture... 1. What's causing the poor pin spread and size of the pins in the corner? Is it because the mycelium has entirely overgrown the casing by there ? 2. Is that greenish yellow thing against the side a contam? What should I do if it is? Cut it off?
Anyway, seeing as how you got me posting pictures I'll show you what else is going on in my SGFC
 This is my second much larger casing that started to pin overnight last night.... I'm hoping for great things 
  And last but not least these are my 4 exceedingly quick colonizing BRF cakes that have had to've been separated from their brothers due to in vitro pinning... I should see the first pins pretty soon 
P.s if you wanted to compare the size of the two casings it is comparable in the background of the very last picture

You keep calling that a casing is it a bulk sub with a casing layer or just state cased grains? Either way your pin set looks fine. That yellow crust looks like dried out mysilium or metabolites to me don't cut it off and I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Just colonized rye berries with a verm casing... I know it's not ideal but it was the only viable option to me really... I'm pretty sure my dad wouldn't like me using his kitchen to pasteurize some poo

Cheers I probably will try it next time, what method do you use to pasteurize it? Also anybody have any ideas about my 2 questions? The discoloured bit is starting to annoy me..

They do look like they might fall over :') I'm not too worried though I go to town when I fan them and they don't shake much :')

Yeah it's massive verm D: the last verm I had was almost powder, so I ordered coarse and got this crazy chunky shit :')

It's alright, I can literally grind it up with my hands in a bowl, takes five minutes and I can get whatever consistency I need I like to use a mix of fine and coarser vermiculite for my cakes themselves leaves them nice and airy and the fine stuff makes for great water retention

but is all seriousness, see if u can grab some coir from a pet store (its reptile bedding I'm sure u have seen pics of it, "eco earth" brand name and there are others) and pasteurize using franks tek (listed in above post) its easy and u can use the verm with it. it will boost ur yield and will help u with mono tubs later. actually, u can sterilize it too, for that look for pastywhites thread on it..meaning if u go too high on the past. temp its fine.
