took these 2 before i left to go do some work at about noon
 
took these 2 when i got home about 10 minutes ago
 
there are also lots of tiny little pins spread around, but they dont seem to be doing to much... i am assuming about half of them are aborts already.. but who knows? at least these 2 are rockin it out :-D. I love how the bigger one is shaped, with the big ring veil and the ball-top cap like some form of old russian architecture or something... very nice

I think your humidity is too low. Symptoms are the cracks begining in your substrate, as well as, the light color of the substrate and fruit bodies.
Things still look a little dry to me and is probably the reason you'r not getting your pins to mature. Looks like you'r getting ample fresh air but you need to mist until that substrate is damp but there is no standing water. Mist again as the substrate dries out to replace the moisture that evaporated from the substrate. That'll help keep your humidity level with in reason for cubesis mushrooms to fruit.

really? im misting like 6-8 times a day THOROUGHLY... there are beads of water on the inside walls of the tub... i even cut back on how long i run the fan to up humidity........
also u know that i cased in verm prior to the first flush right? ( i know, bad decision in a mono tub, but i was still in the early stages of learning when i did that)

Moisture formation on the sides of fruiting chamber walls doesn't indicate the humidity level at your substrates surface. Moreover, humidity build up on fruiting chambers' walls is a symptom of the temperature difference between the inside of the fruiting chamber and the temperature of the room.
Your substrate is cracking, has pins but isn't fruiting, and to me it appears light in color. All of which denote substrate dehydration. You say you moved the fan and have been misting 6-8 times a day, is your regions climate dry and desert like? Pick up the tub. Does it feel light?

its high humidity here (live in a deciduous rain forest).... i also soaked the sub for approx 4 hours before this flush....
tub does feel a little light tho - i just misted the DOG SHIT out of it....
ps: i am not trying to argue that i am right or anything, i respect your knowledge and appreciate you taking your time to help me....... i have 4 other tubs colonizing atm so this is shit i need to learn NOW (2 tubs of the same size at about 90% colonization, 1 35 gallon tub at about 40%, and 1 7 quart mini tub spawned last night)

ok.. i gave it a way to thorough misting until pools of water showed... those absorbed into the substrate (guess you were absolutely correct about dryness)... then i misted until puddles formed again.. those did not absorb so i gently absorbed the excess into a paper towel.... will keep you posted with future updates... thank again for your help
