Here's some pics of my FC with 8 pf cakes!! I started everything by the first week of June (My first time)... Now this is what I got... The fruit (Cambo strain) that's grown has been disappointingly small I've only picked one shroom so far.. it was 4g wet.. and it's less than .1 dry!!! I couldn't believe it!! Anyway enjoy the pics and tell me if anything's wrong..

good that you got some shrooms.
next time after dunking roll the cake so all side are covered in dry verm.
also cut the foil so you use the minimum amount to keep them off the wet perlite.
also don't spray the shrooms till they are wet and fan after misting

I fan until they feel pretty dry.. not more than 12-24 hours... and then put them in the desiccant chamber!

Fruit size is small due to improper water content via the cake or your fruiting conditions are not optimal.

Lets see... I mist about 4-5 times a day.. Fan about 5-6 times a day.. humidity levels almost always are above 95%... Room temperature 82-85F .. 12 hours of a 6500 Fluorescent light near the FC plus some indirect sunlight during daytime coming into the room through a couple of windows... I think that this is definitely not too far away from Optimal conditions for fruiting.. oh.. and I also dunked every one of those cakes 24hours+ after birthing...

i have the same problem. pf cakes, in shotgun terr (b+) with hundreds of holes in it. mist 3-4 times a day and fan twice that. my biggest fruit to date was 10g wet, and most of the others have not gotten more then 1.5" tall. what the hell am i doing wrong? most of the pics i see of pf cakes in the same type of fc are at least 2 to 3 times as big as mine.

Normally, fruit size is related to substrate moisture content. Try lifting the cakes and you can judge moisture level by how much they weigh. It takes a few grows to get the feel for it, but next time you birth/dunk and roll, pay attention to how heavy the cakes are. If you suspect they're drying out later, you can lift one and tell right away. You can also set cakes in a saucer of water overnight mid-flush.
I should mention that waterlogged cakes will also perform poorly and have small fruits. You have to find that happy spot in the middle. RR

Yes and those cakes are water logged! DO NOT MIST DIRECTLY!!! Mist above the cakes and let the mist fall onto the cakes, you need technique my friend. GL
