.
mycelium is poking through now but its not thick at all.
you cant even see it in a photo because of the clear wrap's light
reflections, but its there in different spots.
so i should put that in my fc ?
or maybe i should wait until its thicker?

I think i'll fruit it today or tomorrow.

I just put my casing in the fc. it;s a shotgun fc. i misted it once i put it in.
do i need to fan like you do with cakes?
do i treat the casing like a cake basically?
I guess also need to buy a light but i hear you can use lights of the blue spectrum. i have a light that has a blue coating over the bulb, but i have no idea if that is in the blue spectrum or not.

Simplest way ever, you can crumble cakes or whatever.... also for grain same way but crumbled http://www.fungifun.org/English/Casing
Rolling in verm is for pf cakes only, rolling a casing would be kind of a retarded act 
If you are using a verm casing layer then it's gonna be shitty results but it can work just do a thin layer on top 1/4" and once you see tiny threads of myc poking through in about 5% slam that bastard into fruiting conditions.
Seriously though if you are doing grain you are best off spawning it to manure which is pasteurized then allow to colonize and fruit as is... casing layer or not the thing is gonna mass produce.
hey if i only used the all verm casing, will the fruits not have enough nutrients to grow healthy or something.
