Galindoi shoebox week 1, how does it look?

Hi everyone, last sunday i spawned a quart of galindoi to about 1.5 quarts of CVG in a shoebox.
Mycelium seems to be evenly popping up from under the pseudo casing layer, and the grains on the sides seem to be recovering and recolonizing.
It has now been a week and i'm wondering what you guys think of its progress. This is my first grow ever so im not too sure of how quickly it should be going.
    
Thanks

You say a week so I feel the thing should be ready to case with a ratio of that dimension , but , this is your first grow . I use horse dung with all mushrooms and and it took a while to get things down correctly but once you get the ins and outs straightened , things become easy. I feel the coir or whatever it is is dry.

Damn, do you think i should open it and give it a mist or something? How can you tell that the CVG is dry? When i squeezed it to check for field capacity a few drops would come out, or if i squeezed super hard a little stream would flow.
Also, i've heard that galindoi usually colonizes a little slower but im not 100% sure.

My galindoi took about a week and a half to colonize the bulk sub, it looks a little dry as well

Damn if its too dry do you think it will just colonize slower or could it completely stall? Do you think i should mist it?

Does anyone else have some input? Im worried now that my sub may be to dry. When i squeezed it to check for field capacity a couple drops would trickle, or if i squeezed hard a quick stream would come out.
If i look very closely at the substrate i can see tiny dots of condensation in some parts. Do you guys definitely think its too dry, and if so should i mist it?

You'll know if it's dry, if water comes out it's not dry. It gets very crumbly like dirt when dry, difference is night and day, it happens around the edges first. Your tub is probably fine, it's impossible to judge the moisture from the pics. Your probably fine, go with your best judgement
