Frozen Pin growth & blue color | What to do next?

My mycelium has grown very fast within the jars. However, the first cake I put in the growth chamber hasn't pinned at all. It was well over a week without growth. I noticed my other jars of mycelium had pin and decided to replace the stunted mycelium.
Now that the new cakes have been in the growth chamber for almost 4 days, there's no additional growth of existing or new pins. They are in a clear plastic container with many holes for ventilation on each side. I mist them about 5-6 times a day. They also get several hours of moderate sunlight.
I've also noticed some blue color appearing on the mycelium. Is this bruising or contamination?
I appreciate all of the shroomery expertise 
TLDR; why does my mycelium get stunted in the growth chamber?

It's bruising from being dry. Is this how it looks in the chamber? Like right now it's just chilling on its side laying on verm? I need to know before I comment more. Take a pic of everything, container and all. Why verm? I would go perlite before verm.

You say you have many holes. Perhaps TOO many holes causing it to dry out?
Either way I've never felt so sorry for a piece of mycelium. I think u abusing it. I imagine u there poking it with a stick; perform bitch! PERFORM!
Look up what a Water tub is (here on the shroomery) and do that instead.

I would recommend the water tub as well. There is a lot of reading in that thread but plenty of people in that thread had stalled or underperforming cakes from a SGFC and threw them in the tub:
Mateja's water tub
This was my first grow ever and it went pretty well. There are others giving the tub a try out as well lately: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/28469630#28469630
