Leave it in the tray and elevate it with some wide mouth half pints to make sure there is airflow underneath so the SGFC can do its job.

You want the SGFC to be elevated, so yes, put that on some half pints. The trays in there should also be elevated to allow air currents underneath the trays to move through the perlite and promote proper functioning of your SGCF, so elevate them with half pints too!!

Give at least two more days, I see lots I exposed coir.
Maybe it's the water content of your bulk sub, but the mycelium doesn't seem to be colonizing it well. Looks very weak looking. I've had tubs that looked just like that tho, did you squeeze to proper field capacity? An overly wet or too dry sub causes problems for the mycelium. It takes a bit of practice to get it right.

It'll be a week old on tuesday and they said colonization will take 7-10 days anyways so I could understand why its not ready yet.

acutally maybe its the CO2 levels because the tinfoil isnt tight I pushed some of the plastic baggie over it as well and those areas are a lot more heavily colonized than the middle area which is just covered by the foil.

Definitely make sure the tinfoil is tight. Better yet, why not just use the lid that came with the tub? (and tape it around the sides to hold it in place).
Give it until Friday, then check on it again. It should be ready to fruit by then.

Ohhh so then make sure you wrap it around the edges extra tight!

What I ended up doing is taking the tinfoil off completely and put the tray in a white trash bag and wrapped it up in that hoping to hold in more co2 The myc just seems to dislike the middle of the tray but I'm thinking that's mostly because it just wasn't covered well enough

I would've kept the foil on dude. You want the co2 to be concentrated inside the tub. Covering with a trash bag will leave too many air pockets, slowing down colonization.

Okay I just put the tinfoil back on it and then compressed the plastic trashbag over the top to seal in the air.

So it seems my shrooms are really potent like I trip off 2-2.5 grams but it takes like 2-3 hours for it to really hit and lasts like 12. is that normal?
