the grains are just drier there because their proximity to the filter. I often discard this small amount before doing a g2g

Ah, I've mostly used postal tyvek which hardly breathes, and does not lead to this problem.
--------------------
I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister. I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave. I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent. Triggered yet? Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."
No, this does not look right...

Hmm ok... I was surprised the tops hadnt colonized, the underside of the grains were colonized, it was just the top half that wasnt, I thought I just opened it a few days early..
Those two pics were the ones i have put into the bottles, the one i had planned to use for a G2G hasnt been opened yet and is still sitting in the tub.. Im just gonna fruit it on the weekend and start over... Ill build a better SAB and use bigger jars this time.

Ahh sorry, didnt see the second page.. Yes, Munch is right, I am using polyfill with one hole in the middle. Well that is good to hear..
As for my PC is just a Pissy little kitchen one that could only hold 4 Pints at a time. I PC 4 jars at a time for 60 minuted. I coulnt close the lid with half pints stacked ontop..

Ok so...
The two 5 ltr Bottles look like they're doing really well.. The Mycelium network looks much different on these two bottles, a lot stronger and brighter..
  
I used less water in the substrate with these two and even the coir looks better in these bottles.
My first bottle on the other hand doesn't seem to be doing well... after about 16 days I took the tape off the holes and stuff them with polyfill, tight at bottom loose at top, they have been like this for about a week now..

 
So I'm not sure how these look... I loosened the polyfill about 2 days ago, I thought it might of needed more FAE, but they kinda dried out, so I tightened the polyfill again and I've been misting it lightly once a day and the walls have gotten wet again..
The walls around the hole are dry so that tells me that air is going through the polyfill... there are some water drops on the mycelium but its not saturated... The room temp is about 24c in here... Why is it not pinning?

In what way did it dry out? If you're talking about the walls, then that's not a problem. During the day I got a few tubs that rarely have condensation, which is caused from a temperature difference. A very light misting will help replace water lost on the surface. I think you need patience because the entire surface has knots on it. In 48 hours you'll see lots of little pins.

Yea thanks.. I thought they were knots, I just wasnt sure how big knots were suppose to be.. It has started pinning now down the sides of the bottle and ontop... like heaps of them.. I will get a pic up later.
Sorry for the questions... i have been reading and searching extensively but seeing for the first time and experiencing it all is much different than looking at a photo..
I am much more confident that my next three bottles will turn out better now that I understand the process better.. I guess im glad i did this bottle first instead of doing one big batch in a 20lt tub. I realise i rushed this first one but it's given me a chance to see the other jars and bottles develop a much stronger mycelium network az ive left them to consolidate.
This first bottle has been in fruiting conditions for over a week so I'm going to leave the next three bottles to consolidate until I see pins form before I try fruit it..
