 1st grow fruiting chamber pics

Hey guys, this is my first grow so I thought I'd get some opinions from more experienced growers. I started with 10 brf cakes but lost 7 of them to various contams during incubation. I'd prolly blame those losses on poor sterilization techniques.
I originally planned on making a fruiting chamber out of a big plastic container i had but reconsidered when i realized i only had 3 healthy cakes. I ended up using the same styrofoam cooler i used for incubation for a fruiting chamber.
At the moment one cake is full of shrooms that have torn their veils and last night they dropped their spores. The second cake has many shrooms growing, while the last cake has nothing at all.
All of the cakes are a little bruised blue from misting.
Should i harvest that one cake now or wait longer?
Also, what could be wrong with that one cake?

sterility is something achieved through practice. With a couple more grows under your belt youll get it down. As for your remaining cakes :applause:. An excellent first grow, and i agree. Harvest soon. Congrats on your success.

Looks great. I'd say harvest both cakes. Grab those other ones before they drops their spores, too. Wait on the other. With multi spore inoculations, its possible to get mycelium that just doesn't fruit.

Beautiful flush! 
As soon as you read this, pull up a tek for making prints and print as many of those as you can. It's simple, not as frightening as it might seem and you can only benefit from it.
Nice job.

Thats an awesome pinset on those 2 cakes.
I dont see anyholes in your terrarium? FAE is a key pinning trigger. If you drill 1/4 inch holes in all 6 sides (shotgun fruting chamber, link in my signiture)
It will give yo natural FAE and you just have to mist then fan 4-5 times daily.
If it hasnt produced anyting in 2 weeks i would dunk it. Sometimes stuborn cakes fruit after a 2nd dunk.

Great flush! They look like some of my older mexi-cube flushes from years ago. The mexi's are always great fruiters in easy conditions. Just give that cake a few more days and let us know how she fairs. Cheers!

That we will need it for something. Maybe just to think our way out of the mess that we're getting into.
