Semi-Noob question

Is it ok to put a casing layer before 100% colonization of the "spawning" substrate?
Here is how it is layered: 1/2 inch of dirt for casing 1-|//// 1 quart of WBS 2-|^^^^ 1qaurt of dirt 3-|//// 1 quart of WBS 4-|^^^^ 1/4 inch of dirt5-|////
dirt= cior/verm 45/55
Layers 2-4 were mixed with gloves, then cased with layer 1. Will the grow still yield average or above average results?
P.S Thank you in advance for any response.

dirt = coir/verm?
i don't know what all those punctuation marks are for 
u can case at spawning, in middle of spawn run, etc. usually people do it after 100%, because otherwise, if something bad happened with ur spawn, u won't see it under the casing. if u apply it at spawning, or mid spawn run, u run the risk of it over colonizing, which some don't like, and others seem to not mind.

You're using a lot of verm there. You only need enough to fluff up the substrate to hold water and be a bit more nutritious to myc.
I would do like 70/30 or closer to that area. 75-25 is good too.
Damion5050's bulk sub is not a 50/50 mix.
