Why am I getting only 1-2 shrooms per cake?

Also, why are they so fat? Is it the strain? It's suppose to be creepers...
And the mycelium at the bottom clumping up means low FAE, correct? How many times a day should I mist, and what can I do (if anything) to produce more fruitbodies?

Everything looks good to me...they dont pin at the same time
they are also not mature yet so it's hard to tell potential growth
Once matured if they are short and fat do an advanced search for trusted cultivators on"short and fat"

I take those two cakes out of the SGFC because I heard misting directly will destroy hyphal knots. Should I lightly mist over them once?
Also, I stopped misting for 2 days or so, because I honestly don't know why, I was experimenting I guess, so I guess that's what killed off the other pins/hyphal knots.

the cakes aren't dry, are they? I had a problem with only getting pins on the bottom and few of them. I did a couple things to make sure the cake is hydrated evenly.
1: wet the verm on the very top every time it looks dry.
2: when I first put the cakes in the FC, I put them opposite the way they were in the jar. so the side that was in the bottom of the jar would be on the top. I always get a bunch of mushrooms on the top that way. I don't know if it is because it is newer mycellium or what.
once I was able to keep the cake from getting dry too early, I was able to get 21 dry grams off 5 cakes from the first 2 flushes. I don't know if that is even that good, but it made me really happy

-Don't take the cakes out of the FC until you're ready to dunk. -Fan and mist at least 3 times a day, but don't over do it. Fan more then mist. -Don't stop misting for 2 days... that's why you have few fruits. -Give it more time. Sometimes the first flush doesn't have a lot of pins but the second has many. Just be patient. -Set your spray bottle to the finest setting, like almost all the way screwed in. You want a fine mist. -Spray the shit out of the entire FC until it glistens.

i misted and fanned my SGFC over 8 times a day. i think you have larger and fewer mushrooms because of the co2 buildup. remember mist first, fan second.

There is no way CO2 is building up in his sgfc, the basic principles of it wont allow it.

agreed, sounds like humidity and moisture level may be the prob. i would lean towards moisture level in the cakes, personally.

Yeah, it's cause I listened to my retard friend and stopped misting. I did the straw method and stuck half a straw on each cake, and I'm misting twice a day, fanning 4 times. They're doing a lot better now and I can see little hyphal knots forming 
Thanks everyone!

Cool, I've messed with straws before, too. It worked great, and gave me my biggest mushroom yet, the one in my avatar. Just be careful, if it gets too soggy, it will stop growing, and might get mold. just feel the cake a little, give it a gentle poke to see how saturated it is.
good luck!
