Casing Tray Progress

Attached are pictures of first casings ever, some of which are a little blurry but I hope the pro’s can still get a good sense of progress. How do they look? The temperature ranges between 70-75F. There is approximately 15 hours of light (natural) coming into the room. The moisture is at around 90%, or so. Problem is my digital hygrometer only goes up to 85% or 90%, I think. The basic one (blue in pics) is hardly helpful. The casings are separating from the sides of their trays, which I suspect is normal. I have an air pump connected to an air-stone covered with perlite in the FC as a way of providing FAE, in addition to my fanning and misting (sides of) the FC at least 3 times a day.
P.S. How do you attach jpg. files?

What'd you case these guys with? They all look a little overgrown or close to it imo. As long as your temps are right, they have enough moisture, the humidity's right, it's getting good air exchange, and it sees a little light, you can just wait up. How long ago did you case these guys? Best of luck...update us with more pics.
PS If you want to attach pictures here, you go to the top where it says your username and it says "Pics" then you upload the pictures here and it gives you a BB forum code that you just copy and paste into here. Much nicer than a .doc

Thanks for the info about pics PatternOfChaos. These were cased in 60/40 verm/coir and 15% coarse oyster shell. Today they are a week old, 3 days in the FC now. The growth, after casing, was aggressive. Incubated at 80F in the dark, and was hoping that the Temp difference in the FC would have initiated pinning, etc.
The temperature is more often between 70-75F range. Humidity is good, and FAE at least 3 times a day. Safe to say that I face an overlay issue, if not now than soon.
All advice is welcome.
Red.

Ah coir isn't really considered a good candidate for casing material anymore because it's so nutritive. However I use Miracle Grow Moisture Control to case my stuff and it has a little coir in it. Just know that coir has nutrients and is more prone to overlay than something like vermiculite or peat. I've started initiating pinning earlier to prevent that type of situation.
In either case post your results. I'm sure you'll still get an abundance of growth
