First time shoebox update - any notes/critiques? 1

Hey y'all. With the help of many kind posters I used SFF Shoebox Tek to spawn four of my best-looking jars (not great, but I plan on starting over from agar today with everything I've learned throughout this first attempt).
All four were spawned on 10/09: 3 of the 4 have exceeded my (low) expectations! However, I think that there are a decent amount of sidepins from what I can see. I've no problem just letting the top pins grow out, but would anyone recommend trying to fruit one of them as a cake, like I've seen from other sidepinning posts?
1 of the 4 started out like the rest of them for a day or two, but has since completely stalled. I'm guessing it was something with that particular jar of colonized oats, but I'd love to hear any opinions on what else could have gone wrong. I knew before spawning that my jars weren't at optimal strength, so I was really using this as a practice attempt just to get some experience with the method. Like I said, I'll be starting over from agar today, only now I have enough holy-grail plates and pasty-plates to not have to sit idly by while my agar starts fruiting
The pictures attached are of my 3 successful boxes and a view from their side, as well as my stalled box.
Thanks!

looks good man! keep the conditions good and you will get some decent fruits. dont forget to take prints!
for me, adding a casing layer has always helped with side pins. other people have different strategies to help with this (liners, level surfaces, etc)

Are you leaving them as is to do their thing? Meaning lid on, no interaction?
Or are you misting as well?

Looking good man!  
My only advice is to take off that silly label off the side, cause labels are just silly

Thanks! Do you think it's worth it to take prints if the spawn I used wasn't necessarily the "best" genetics I could get? I.E. I didn't take the time to go agar to agar isolating a solid strain? Although I suppose it definitely wouldn't hurt to get some practice taking prints! Also, after mixing my sub with spawn and tampering down, I added/tampered down another layer of sub on top of that. That would be my casing layer, correct?

Yep, haven't removed the lid or otherwise interacted with them since 10/09 when I set them in. The SFF Tek calls for 20 seconds of misting the surface before putting the lid on; that's all the misting I did.

Thank you! And good call! My hope was that if the shrooms were potent enough, my boxes would shed their labels on their own. Alas I'll have to help them.

Line the bottom and sides with light blocking material or your gonna have a bunch of wasted side pins. A couple inches past the surface.

The SFF Tek I followed calls for keeping the lid fastened up until 24-48 hours prior to harvesting; I just picked up four more shoeboxes today that I was going to spawn in the next couple of days, so maybe now that I've got this baseline I'll try and experiment some with FAE on the next round and compare the results!

Thanks, I'll do that and see if it helps
