Monotub Disapointment.. not enough FAE?

So this is my second monotub, first one had a massive success.. im pretty sure i know what im doing with the limits i have anyway!
This tub is question was wbs spawned straight to coir.
I saw my first pins on saturday and this is a shot of the tub today:

and:

Maybe these mushrooms look big in the pictures, i can tell you they are not! Largest is an inch high!
Ive read posts suggesting my coir is too dry but if anything it is too wet, but it seems perfect to me.
Im guessing it would be due to lack of FAE, it is in the corner of my room, next to the heater. The corner would presumably restrict airfloor. Ive rigged up a fan now and pulled it away from the wall a bit more. I hope this will solve my future flushes.
Just wanted to post these pics to see what you guys though.

i had mazatapec do that. same exact thing. they were fruiting in the same greenhouse as equadors that grew 8+ inches tall. the equadors were clones and the maz were multispore.
and it wasnt the substrate. i had a left over quart of spawn that was neglected and started fruiting. same thing in the jar. no fruit exceeded 1 inch.

How do you expect to get fresh air through polyfill? You might get gas exchange, but not fresh air exchange. Some strains are CO2 tolerant, but most are not. Remove the polyfill and mist as required. RR

remove the polyfil and mist?! that would completely undermine the monotub tech.
My last grow was in the exact same tub, exact same mediums, different strain, different location in my room. But i got 8 inch Mushrooms?
These are GT btw and my last strain was EQ.

RR doesn't believe in polyfill during fruiting, I have tried it both ways and had good success either way. If you take the polyfill out be sure to mist more, if you leave the polyfill in during fruiting then be sure it is very loose in the holes. At this point I would take the polyfill out for a few days and give them a heavy misting. CH

Remove poly fill= more misting, less manual FAE. Leave poly fill= less misting, more manual FAE.

RR also said small shrooms that break their veils too soon have low sub moisture... hope that helps.
