Unique situation /1qt spawn +coir/verm, needs more FAE and rH

So I had one quart of colonized WBS that I didn't want to waste, so I decided to throw it in this mixing bowl with a quart of verm and coir... Well thus far everything has worked out pretty well. The problem is that I wasn't quite sure where to fruit it, so I put it in one of my mini mono tubs. Well as I expected, it sits higher than the bottom holes in the tub, so I need to find a better way to get more FAE.
I'm hoping the humidity eventually evens out as it becomes more colonized, but right now it's still a little soon yet.
I'm way more concerned about my FAE. I have poly stuffed loose up top and somewhat tight on the bottom as you usually would in a mono until I figure out a better set up. Should I remove the bottom for max FAE or just wait it out?

Put a coir casing on it and mist when it gets dry. That will maintain the surface humidity.

A coir/verm casing (I use ~ 70/30) in combination with good FAE provides a nice pinset IME.

You should worry about FAE more than humidity with your setup. It looks like you placed a monotub container inside a closed GH. Do you have a fan that provides some FAE? Or is it just a wire shelf?

Your holes being below the substrate surface won't be a problem.
  I fruit all my bottle subs in monos. My holes are further below the substrate surface than yours.
   They do fine.
Just run that setup like you would a normal mono. The lack of substrate might cause your RH to drop a bit but some occasional misting will take care of that.

Thanks a lot guys, going to add casing in the morning. This will bring the substrate right to the edge also, so that's a plus. I'll patiently wait for the heat to raise the rH.
Good to know the holes will be fine lower than the bowl, I'll post my results hopefully within a week. Thanks again

70/30 coir verm
First time casing. The wbs jar fully colonized in 13 days, left for three more for good measure. First time using my own MS syringe from my first print of my best cluster from a couple months ago. Hoping to see a killer result.
Sorry if bumping this is frowned upon!

 You may want to tighten your bottom holes like you would regularly do with a mono until your pinset comes in. No harm in bumping with more pics. Looking forward to future bumps bro

Listened to the advice above and had decent results. Ended up with a little over 30g dried off of the bowl.
Came back from town to some monster shrooms. Left a little mess of spores, meh.. now it's on to flush number two.
In the mean time, two more buns in the oven ready to rock.
I usually make an extra jar just so I can take a little from it to colonize new jars rather than waste time with syringes. So these small bowls work nicely to utilize the donar jar.
