hey guys. i'm having some trouble with my casings. they pin and all but then my flushes never look like the flushes that most of the pics show. most of the time the little shrroms pin here and there. its not even through out the whole casing. i'm wondering if there's anytthing wrong? or anything i should do to improve my flushes?

Check out Hyphae's Pinning Strategy link in my signature.
A common problem is people not letting their casing layer colonize long enough before fruiting it. I usually let my casing layer colonize for 8-9 days before putting it into the FC.
I had the same problem when I was just starting out casings, you'll learn and get better. It takes a while to become a pro!

Are you using multi spore? That will give you crap pin set. Some of the mysc wont produce some will only pin and some will give you shrooms. Clone a L,C, and you will see a better pin set. Also use that pinning strategy he gave you.

Look up the pinning strategy.
Multi-spore can have that effect, but it is still possible to have decent pinsets, just not even. I have seen some good pinsets from multispore on casings.
But yeah, if you want consistant pinning, and pinning of the whole casing. cloning a shroom is a step in the right direction.
Strain isolation on agar is the way to go, its a lengthy process but worth the effort. The pics that you see of an entire casing with shrooms growing all at the same time and rate - they are usually isolates.
What you might find is that it will pin in different areas at different times.
Make sure you are giving plenty of FAE Humidity - 92%+ Light - a daylight cfl or fluerescent tube can make a difference.
Also make sure your casing layer is kept moist.
