more info would be helpfull, like what is your substrate, your terrarium, how you are measuring humidity. if your humidity was really that low id doubt you would be getting pins or any that you do get would abort.
pictures would be a great help.
its hard for anyone to say withouth knowing how you have things set up

just looked at them ... 1 did you dunk 2 have you given them any fresh air ? 3 using any light and for how long ? that fc doesnt look like it has any holes whatsoever ... so unless youre pumping in some air somehow id find a way to get that fixed ...

build a proper one.
take a clear plastic tub.
drill 1/4" holes 2" apart on all six sides. fill the bottom 5" of the tub with dampened perlite
place substrates onto squares of foil.
mist to replace lost moisture due to fruitbody production.
fan with lid whenever you mist.
sunlight is good.

Dunk your cakes for 24 hours, then roll them in verm before putting them back in the FC.

there you go ... you dunk cakes right when you birth them ... that was likely your biggest issue next to fae ... also all that hepa filtered air is more than you need , fully consolidated cakes are pretty resistant to contaminations , they can be aired in the ambient air source ... you can dunk again after first flush also ... and so on ...

You need .25" holes spaced 2" apart on every side of your FC.

Do it just like the tek says. You're not the first person to wonder if the perlite will fall out the bottom.
