with them being in those logs (plastic tubing) they fruit just fine sitting out in open air with no green houses. so the fresh air is important. after your first harvest u will know what to do.. your name remind me of green dragon, lol

lol..
I did remove the plastic on those two.. hoping to expose as much as possible to pinning/fruiting triggers. If it cools down enough to go outdoors, I will leave those logs in the bag and hang them.

Also, I pretty much have a spawn factory going right now.. I have more wbs colonized and more starting.. and judging from the first two logs, it took a total of 8 days from stuffed to pinning. So as I need to make them, I can.. some hanging outside, some in the GH.. But, this way.. I can screw up and start over as I figure out my environment.

I grow all my oyster outside in my shop\greenhouse. i have a chamber built with a home made humidifer like yours herbal.. If you harvest them a little early u can stop alotta spores dropping. I would do that since your indoors. i left a bag inside fruiting the other day to see how many spores were dropped. there wasn't many,but i harvested a little early. (i know u can't see spore dropped but,if it gets thick u can see it under the mushroom usually )..looks like your logs r coming along pretty good. if your worried about fresh air u can just hook a fan up to run in there everyonce in a while. the co2 should just leak out the bottom of the gh if it is open since its the heavier air
contrair i see them drop all the time. i will video it on the next flush.

Update: Cluster Formation
Pictures are blurry.. but a few hundred pins have popped out of these many clusters.. The clusters are now developing over the whole log (where it was just 3 or 4 yesterday).

Thanks.. I am not going to post pics every 5 minutes (though I am that excited  ), but that log is just exploding and forming rapidly (It's the blues).. The other log, which actually fully colonized faster, has not formed a single node/pin yet (it is Pearl).. Interesting

I just found one of my pink oyster logs pinning at every cut in the log. It isn't fully colonized, heck even some of the WBS spawn hasn't even recovered from the stuffing yet. But who am I to judge, it says its ready.. into the GH it went (none of the other 8 logs have done this, they are all kept in the same location). Keeping this one in the bag.

Looking at the pics in your Update 2, it appears that you are going to need more FAE, especially if you intend to put more logs into that FC. Oysters need massive amounts of fresh air or you will end up with leggy stemmed, small capped mushrooms.

yeah.. I believe that is going to be the outcome.. I am thinking about getting a timer that can go on/off multiple times in an hour to operate the exhaust/intake set up more often. I have accepted that result for this flush.. hoping to tune it better in the future. I just dont want to open it up too much in the house, worried about the massive amount of spores.. maybe I will go open the zippers until they get more mature, then shut it again.
*Edit:
I just went and opened the zippers all the way.. I said I was going to do this before, but decided to back down until the pins formed. Now, that they are looking to be ready to get elongated, I guess it isn't working that well. Also, my house is 72, its 75 in the GH, so the temp can come down some. I just have to make sure some humidity stays in there.. though if I just leave the rest of them in the bags, that won't matter much either... figuring stuff out 1 step at a time.

My 10 Day forecast .. still too hot to go outside eh?
In the exact area where they will be.. at the peak of the day 84.4f @87%rh
Then I also wonder.. because I need these to work.. if I just pop the filters out of the sides of my GH, that would leave a 3" hole on each side of each shelf in there. Then leave the zippers shut, RH should remain good, and FAE good, because there is an ambient air fan near by, and I can leave the exhaust cycle running, plus the 2.6 lph air pump pushing the mist. I wonder if the spore drop will be as unhealthy as I think from 8 6" logs.. If I have 8 logs doing well, then I bet I will produce more product than the 16 I originally had planned for the two sealed GH's.

Update 3
So, I did just fold the door open to the GH, accepting defeat (for now) on my clean air system. The top two logs were removed from the plastic, so they are surely doomed to dry out. Notice I left that part of the door there to help keep humidity up for them. Once they stall, I will dunk them and recover them some how.
However, after opening that door, the fruits on that original log took a couple turns. Most of the older skinny cluster of pins are starting to abort, while the newer clusters are starting to form a truer oyster shape. Note in these pics, the foreground clusters are newer and forming better, while the background clusters are starting to abort. However, this is just after 12 hours of open air exposure, I think it is quite a turn around, and yes FAE,FAE,FAE - UNDERSTOOD!
Now, I have new logs pinning very well, poly tubing still in place, and I have high hopes for nice clusters

Are those in the top pic king oyster mushrooms? I've never grown Pleurotus ostreatus before, but i wasn't aware the primordia was shaped that way.
