Hi everyone. I must say I enjoy this site tremendously and always enjoy a well run and organized board. Anyway this is my first grow on my own and I am running into some dilemmas. Specs: shotgun tek terrarium with a golden teacher and z strain BRF cakes. They were slow to colonize (1.25mo) I assume due to the 60* temp in my closet. I've retrofit a humidifier to the top which I think might be giving me some stunted growth. The pictures were from my first flush but I am unsure of whether or not I am on my second. There were four cakes which really slowed in pinning so I have soaked rolled but the others are still pinning decently. My issues are that those pins are not growing into as large of mushrooms as during my first week or so or are just aborting/opening up at only a few cm. I don't know if it is because of my adding the humidifier dispersement tube which previously I just ran the hose right in. So am I flooding the cakes with this new setup or am I just on flush 2 and need to soak and roll? Much of my first flush I dried poorly and they contammed because they were too moist going into my desiccant chamber for too long. I have since invested in a dehydrator. anyway enjoy the pics and if someone could guide me to a good casing tek tutorial (with pics pls) I'd like to up my yield. -hoax-

Looks like you are giving them a lot of water. The second pic looks like they could have used more FAE.

I leave it 24h (unless picking) on the lowest setting. Tonight, I'm leaving it off with the top slightly off for some airflow. I'm getting a timer as soon as I'm back on track.

Yeah, the caps look a lil slimmy and the amount of mycelium fuzz on the bottom of those fruits tells me theres a little too much moisture on those puppies.

ditch the humidifiers which will just be soaking. it has been covered so many times that substrates which stay saturated perform poorly.
You need to get moisture evaporating from the substreat (which is an important pinning trigger) fae causes evaporation, but how can yoiu cause any evaporation at all of the FAE being provided is moist air.
The shotgun works best as laid out in the tek. mist and fan a few times daily (reocmended 5)
