Birthing question

I've got five jars that have been fully colonized (kinda..) for a week and the twi small ones have started to pin, now should I still dunk and roll the two small ones or just dunk and sprinkle? Also the bigger 3 have halted and havn't started to pin and they're older then the two smaller jars. Any help? Is my project still good?

If they were jars and this still applies to whatever those are, when they start to pin inside they're like SKKRRRRR they are babies ready for birth. Dunk and roll the two, and SPRINKLE some verm on the top. I'd wait until the other 3 pin but it has been more than a week.. I birthed some of my jars a few days under and they laughed at me while trying to finish colonizing in the fruiting chamber. Must be size of the container it's in but the moisture seems healthy. Too much volume causing CO2 buildup in there?? Might just be the substrate or colonization time of the "strain"
onward,full stead!

They are sitting in a shotgun terrerium with 4" of damp perlite. The moisture is at about 91% and temperature is between 71-75

Have you been misting/fanning three times a day? They look good, the foil just needs to be cut down to the size of the cake, it's preventing the surrounding perlite from doing its job. Other than that, just keep waiting.

How far drilled are your holes? Do you have bottom holes?
Raise your SGFC so it's 6-12" off the ground and 6-12" from any wall. They're bruising blue from being dry, how often do you mist?
Did you recently handle them?
Lose the hygrometer, they're unreliable.

I have many holes in the bottom of the chamber the box is about two feet of the ground on two bottles that sit on a chair. I mist and fan about 4-5 times a day but i eork from 9-5 so fanning and misting acore at morning then at the afternoon, evening and night (sometimes at lunchbreak if I have time to run home) It's weird because the 3 cakes that aren't pinning were made a few days before rhe two that are. And what do you guys suggest I use to know the humidity and temperature?

If your SGFC is properly constructed, you shouldn't worry about the humidity levels. You stated before that your temp is between 71-75f, that's perfect.

Bluish without handling like you're experiencing normally means lack of FAE. They blue because there's not enough humidity in the air.
Cut back your foil to a perfect circle around your cake. Can you show me where your sgfc is placed in your room?

There's your problem, Get it off the SAB and put it under a few qt jars. It's restricting air flow from the bottom, even with those wide open holes. If you can move it out closer to the center of the room that would also be very beneficial.
Are you sure that's 4" of perlite? Stick your finger an inch down there, is it wet? Do you mist the perlite directly?

You can just add more perlite. The wet perlite will mix with the other perlite and provide a great environment.
Alternatively, since you're wetting perlite anyway, you can just restart the chamber by getting it all and soaking it together. I just hate the mess perlite causes 
I thought it looked weird but took your word for it that it was 4 .
That will help immensely
