A weird situation... well for me.

I started my grow on March 10, 2011 using the BRF technique. My jars were inoculated with the F+ Florida strain on the 11th, and by March 15th, I started to see some Myc growth. The 1/2 pint jars reached full colonization by the 21st, so I gave em' 7 days of consolidation, like most of you guys recommend.
So I dunked on march 28th, and on the 29th I rolled with the cakes with some course verm and placed four out of my five jars into two separate SGFC's. One cake had a little bit of trych, so I placed that one in a seperate smaller chamber, and the other cake had a spot of black mold so I dug a small hole next to my garden hose, threw some verm underneath and left it there. The other three were placed in a chamber all on their own. It's been close to two weeks now, and I have yet to see any growth on any of them.
However, the weird part is, the cake that I threw into the hole (the one with the black mold) seems to have lost the mold, developed a little bit of trych and on the areas that have absolutely no contamination, seem to have these little babies growing on em'.



They're decent in size, and are free of contams.
The one cake that was quarantined from the rest has only grown two visible knots, and have stalled for about a week and a half. They haven't aborted because they haven't rotted or anything. And the other three that I thought were healthy haven't grown a single knot. They just look like verm covered cakes. I even dunked em' a second time for eight hours because they looked rather dry.
This is one of em':
I mist about four times a day, and fan twice as much. Since its pretty windy out, I try to put em' outside so that they can get fresh air, whenever I'm not able to fan em.
So what do you guys think? This situation makes me want to go dig some holes and throw the rest of my cakes in em.

Im guessing your humidity is too low in your fc's. Do you have a hygrometer? Otherwise they may just be taking their sweet time. As far as the outdoor cake goes i've heard that contaminated mycelium will sometimes produce mushrooms as a last ditch effort to drop spores. Anyways I would get the trich cake out of your house so you dont contaminate your growing/lab areas.

Sadly, I don't own a Hygrometer, but I try to keep the FC's at a very high humidity. I don't have much cash, so I couldn't buy a hygrometer or a humidifier . The contaminated cake is outside mah house and in a hole. As for the other cakes, what can be done for them? They have no contamination, and have small knots developing.

Keep misting and fanning and you'll be fine, Make sure to post pix as I want to see what yours look like! I believe F+ was the last grow I had, and it's my avatar right now.

Yea thats a little crooked pin. Its been that shape for about a week and a half. At first it looked like it was going to abort because it started turning black, then nothing happened lol. Its not black anymore though

So I dug a second hole yesterday, threw some verm in there, and placed the isolated cake in there (the cake with the two stalled pins). I checked up on it today, and one of the pins, the one shown in the picture, has turned black and looks like its going to fall off. However, theres about four or five tiny knots developing underneath, and the second knot that was there before looks like its gotten re-hydrated.
The second cake, the one that was originally thrown out, and has some trych, Is still growing and it looks like that large pin will fully develop by the end of the week. The growth that looks like two fused knots, fell off last night. Just like that, it simply slid off. Soooooo, I ate it right before bed . I swear, I had one of the best sleeps I've ever had, and I woke up in an extremely good mood for some reason.

Update: Its been a week since my last post, and this is whats going on.
 These mushrooms are growing pretty well. The one on the right is looking really healthy, however the one on the left has already capped, and the veil has broken. Its starting to look like its drying out though, Should I pick it before it rots, even though its really tiny? Its got about three other pins growing right next to it, so is it safe?
 These are growing underneath the above cake, and are looking mighty healthy.
 These are on another cake, they were looking really healthy at first, but they started looking like they were drying out. I guess I should water them more often.
