Hygrometers are usually shit but it may be worth investing in one just to make sure you are near the right level.
Then again for the cost of a good hygrometer you could just by a clear plastic tub and some perlite for a SGFC  I live in a super dry area too. Especially with the winter and me running the heater in the house. Hasn't given me a problem yet.
Any links to the tek for this set up? If they had a good turnout and you replicated it EXACTLY then I am sure you just need to give it some more time.
In your pics there is an area on the top cake that looks kind of funny. Very airy looking white fluff? I have noticed this on cakes just after birthing where the myc is whispy and growing into the verm barrier layer. Not once I have them rolled and in the FC though. Usually the myc growing through the verm at that stage is much thicker appearing. At least in my experience so far.

Yes. Don't judge when to birth by days. Whether they take 1 week or 2 months to fully colonize shouldn't be what you are worried about. Once they appear fully colonized (the jar looks completely white) you want to let them sit and consolidate. This allows the myc growing around the exterior of the jar to grow into the center. If you didn't consolidate in the jar then they are doing that inward growth now while in your FC. They are also a little more susceptible to contams if there is any uncolonized substrate there.

do you need to mist before fanning if you have the ultrasonic humidifier setup?

I would think so. To promote evaporation from the substrate which causes knots->pins->fruits
I would have to believe that it would have outlined all of this in the tek you followed.

you mentioned something about airy white fluff is this a sign of overlay or could it be cottonweb? I am just wondering?

Build a SGFC and ditch the humidifier.....
http://www.mushroomvideos.com/Terrarium-Tek
No need for a hygrometer either.....
New growers should focus more on fresh air exchange and less on humidity levels.

Thank you. Would it be smart to construct some kind of container underneath to help regulate the temperature above to optimal fruiting conditions.

If you are doing a SGFC then regulate the temp of the room your FC is in. Don't go trying to make it something high tech and fancy. Follow the standard SGFC which Notahacker supplied you with. If constructing a temperature control container underneath was a great idea, it would be suggested in the tek.
Don't over think this too much.

No....rely on room temperature....if anything heat the entire room, never heat the chamber.

Never give up dude once you 'get it' once it all just snaps together, at least it did for me. The plus side is that you have the equipment now to make a BIG setup later should you want to make like, pounds and pounds XD PM me if you want to see how I set up my ultrasonic, I don't want to post public images. Peace, and good luck.

If it were mine, I'd add 2" of perlite, get it up off of the floor, and use a hygrometer to rate the moisture output of your hose to get it to ~95%. Add or remove bottles until you find the sweet spot.
Perlite or hydroton / hydro corrals.

I got one more question I went out and got a water bottle to spray these in some of the books I read it had instructions of mixing peroxide in with the water. Is this a good idea? If s how much should I mix in with 16 fluid oz?
