Kinda small Shrooms....

Hey Guys,
So I have finally completed the first flush of my first grow! Super happy!! Thanks to you guys that helped guide me to the right direction to do this.
That being said, I have still more questions....
These were Costa Rican spores, on BRF cakes. I didnt have a fruiting chamber as per RR's tek, so I used a SGFC made from DoC_T's tek.
I realize this fruiting chamber is not optimal for BRF cakes, but it did work...
I misted as needed and fanned, and gave them actual sunlight daily.
On to my questions:
1)The shrooms seem REALLY small. My total first flush was about 5 grams dried. Most were about 2 to 3 inches long, skinny and really small caps. Is that normal? If not, what could cause that? Had no issues with quantity, just size.
2)There are a ton of REALLY tiny ones still on the cakes that dont seem to be doing anything. Should I just pick/discar those and re-dunk my cakes for 2nd flush? They arent getting any bigger and their veils are gone and they are starting to die anyway...
3)For my second flush, is re-rolling required? Or just the dunk?
Again, thank you to the community for your guidance! This place is awesome!

Pick the ones that arent growing. Theyre called aborts. They are also active so its all good. Dunk before the next flush, around 12 hrs.

There is many reasons for aborts but in your case it sounds like your substrate(cakes) reached the maxinum number of fruits it could support so it aborted the rest its perfectly natural and not something you did.I would dunk and re-roll
