Newbie mono - help needed

Hi, It's my first rodeo. Z-strain from syringe on rye berries. Substrate: cocoa, verm, coffee. 22/03 full colonization - took it out of dark. Today, 7 days later mycelium has yellowish spots, looks.. tired for lack off better word. ~90RH 21-25C (69-77F). Room light. No sign of pins.. Should I mist if RH stays so high? Should I fan if I have vents in mono tube?
Or should I just sit on my hands?

Spores to grains isn't always the best route I'd suggest learning some no pour agar tek then doing agarto grain
I reccomend not using coffee grounds as they contaminate very easily
The yellow spots are probably metabolites that are fighting bacterial contamination. Doesn't mean it's necessarily bad and the tub can still fruit just fine. Your discoloration in the middle left kinda looks like a different growth and could be mold but it's hard to tell
I don't mist or fan my tubs withthe ol 6 different 2" holes covered in micropore tape but some people do. If the surface looks dry no little droplets of water then its good to mist. You don't want any pooling water.

Thanks Rumfor!
There are no droplets on the surface, but a lot of condensation on walls of tube. Higrometer says 88% RH [mas what I saw was 95% not sure how precise it is].
I will move to agar->corn as soon as I get my hands on agar tek supplies.
That said:

I'll try to observe and learn from my mistakes. I'm reading loads and try not to by too jumpy.
Appreciate your help!

Yeah nice pins! And I see some other knots in there which is good. You're going to get something that's for sure.

Looks good to me. Pins can take up to two weeks to develop.
Normally, I don't mist until the 2nd flush.

Hey,
Got some follow up pics and a question:
Is that coloration normal?

Other do not have this discoloration..

Could be bruising from dryness. Strange how it's only on one pin though.

Update. Kinda slow but progress nonetheless:

Reading a lot on humidity, temperature and FAE.. hard to find cohesive tips.
