I'm in the middle of first project - am I doing it right?

Citra, FL(Zone 9a)

I've finally started one - well, two, 'cause I had too much leftover.

This is in a 5 gallon bucket, lined with a trash bag, pvc pipe to make drainhole. The mix was an approximate 1:4 combo of PC to perlite and peat, little more of the PC than 1 part.
Is there supposed to be that water on the bottom? I've been smoothing it up the sides.
Should I stop messing with it?
When do I take it out of the plastic bucket and bag mold?
Can I just put garbage bags over them to let them cure?
Do these sides need some kind of reinforcment?
Thank you!
