 Cake has possible contams when birthed so after dunk i decided to isolate it. Will this work? Reminds me of soda bottle Tek so IDK if I need holes in it or not?

Yeah definitely drill a bunch of holes in it, the bottom too...and I would fill it up to the separation line with perlite...then trim that foil down...is that cake suspect for contamination, or are you just being creative? Either way I like it...hmm nvm, I don't have the slightest idea how I missed that.

 Possibly contaminated. It had that coloring for a while after was pretty much colonized. There's like 3 jars that way of PE.. Theres 6 GT as well but didn't want them to contaminate if it was mold. It smells fine like the others. All I had last minute was huge Easter Egg that holds smaller eggs lol. I thought...hmmm lol. Had to get it out of dunk so had to make it work

 This was him in the jar when worry was setting in. I didn't think bruising was possible in jars. It's weird cuz its only on envy jars. I added holes to my Easter Egg lol. Does it matter if light is on 24/7 or should it be 12/12?

Yea it's best to let the jars just chill on a shelf. Constantly touching them and lifting them can cause bruising. No worries though, you're cake is perfectly fine.
For fruiting you want 12/12 lighting.

Just noticed the SGFC in the background, looks like it may need more holes for fresh air exchange. 1/4" holes 2" apart in a grid patter on all 6 sides, especially the bottom. Elevated and at least a foot from any wall. Read this and make sure it is built to spec. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/20195542#20195542 Also hygrometers are useless in a fruiting chamber, build fruiting chamber to spec and mist cakes till they glisten as needed.

You should always aim for too much fae and need to compensate with misting over not enough fae/too much humidity.
Keep the surface glistening/damp with no pooling water. Mist when it isn't glistening anymore. Sometimes you might only need to mist twice a day. Sometimes 4 times a day. All you need is the eyes to tell it's in need of a misting . Nothing too fancy here 
Also cool Easter egg, looking forward to seeing some mushrooms in it

What do you have the rest of the cakes in, SGFC? Really you don't need to isolate that cake, it looks tip top to me. Nice job.

yeah it looks fine, you could put it with the others, but for some reason I want to see mushrooms growing in an Easter egg

why not
looks like there is enough room for air vs. volume of fungi
i'm not sure about holes just because it might dry it out rather quicky
you'll want to fan it off every day and mist though (or spray the sides of the chamber with a spray bottle)

In my opinion I would put holes in it. FAE over humidity all day, and fanning is not FAE. Check out Mads open air fruiting experiment http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/22105120 You could keep surface humidity up and prevent drying by misting. Misting the sides would do little to nothing, plus it has the perlite. People have fruited cakes on the table as a center piece for shits and giggles.

Ill leave it in the egg for shits and giggles baha. Yea I added alot more holes earlier today. I had looked at an old chamber Tek that said 2 or 3 in apart. Also made another one today with 2in grid. My humidity has been 97-99% temp like 73-75. Still trying to get in the swing of how much misting at a time, how many times a day for misting 3 or like 6? I am determined to achieve atleast enough for a great first experience. Thats all I'm trying to accomplish. If I fail this I will be pretty flippin bummed. I sure do love all the feedback you all have offered. I was having my doubts about anyone helping me out or "coaching" me through it with my off the wall questions,random thoughts, and charming conversation skills lol. If anyone would like to volunteer to be my awesome mentor... That would be very dude like just send a pm!

You are doing awesome doll. You got the hard part over with, getting fully colonized contamination free cakes. Once you do that it's smooth sailing IMO, once fully colonized the mycelium is strong and resistant to contams. And on misting, the times a day may vary, some days you might just need to mist twice, somedays twice that. Just watch your cakes and mist untill glistening without leaving pooling water and mist again when no longer glistening. Fan out the chamber after to help kick start the evaporation process. Don't worry about your humidity, it will fluctuate and that is desired. A lot of cool people on here and minds greater than my own that want to help and see you succeed. It's a lot to take in, but you are kicking ass your first time, you should feel good about that. Always here to help, rock on sister!

Putting a suspected cake in a different container in the same room is most definitely not isolating it. If you're worried to the point that you think it should be isolated outside is the best place for it
-------------------- The mushroom speaks: '"I am old, older than thought in your species, which is itself fifty times older than your history. Though I have been on earth for ages I am from the stars. My home is no one planet, for many worlds scattered through the shining disc of the galaxy have conditions which allow my spores an opportunity for life... How the hypercommunication mode operates is a secret which will not be lightly given to man. But the means should be obvious: it is the occurrence of psilocybin and psilocin in the biosynthetic pathways of my living body that opens for me and my symbiots the vision screens to many worlds"

Side note: When you do mist, do it from above and let the mist fall down onto the cakes.

I was misting from tops but sides seemed dry. I'll be so ecstatic when I see a pin showing I've done something right and not ruined em. As soon as I get done doing my sons school project I'm going to put them in a slightly smaller chamber that has more holes and just better constructed. What's the guesstimated time frame from birth to pins?

I hit my cakes good from all angles, but I don't blast them so hard I knock the verm off the cakes. Pinning could be any time with multi spore, it's hard to say. But once they begin to pin you can almost watch them grow, just a few days to maturity.
