 Very undecisive. Please help!

I have 3 trays cased with 50/50+ for over a week. One is showing some colonization, and I've been patching it as it goes along. The other two have a spot here and there but basically no growth that I can see. The casing on these is thicker than on the prevoius one.
This morning while searching for posts on casing, I saw one that said: "Don't patch, induce pinning at the first sight of white."
So I reduced temperature, exposed them to light, fanned the hell out of them.
About forty minutes later, in the shower: "Oh my gawd! Is this right?". So put put them back at 85 deg. and tin foiled them.
Anyway, This being the first time I do this, I am at a loss of what step should I take next. I've been recomended to wait, to deep scratch, to induce pinning.
BTW the strain is PESA.
Some advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

I have 3 casings. The first two were cased eight days ago. Colonized cow manure (it colonized very fast) with a layer of home made50/50+. Two days later, a thin layer of Dr. Bluethumbs casing was added. Three days after that, some mycelium poked through and was patched with more casing. Today, a couple of spots are peeking out. They have not been patched.
The other tray was cased 6 days ago with Blue's 50/50+. This one is showing better growth and has been patched twice, including today.
I would really love some advice on what to do, if anything at all.
Thanks.

you're doing exactly right. let them colonize the casing layer about 50% then initiate pinning. different strains colonize at different speeds. you sound like you ae on the igt track
peace!
