Noob asks for elder advices

Hello, ive been trying an unstable method of a FC. i have a bit of experience with non automated FCs. this is a tryout for an automated FC with air flowing threw water. the cakes inside are in different stages so its hard to measure whats working and whats not. temperature is stable, and air flow is good but im still having problems with humidity. the first flush was great. then it got slow and sad. mushrooms are still coming out but not in groups and they are all different in size and shape. some have a thin stall and some have fat. i did some mistakes which im aware of like dehydrating them for 2 days in the middle fruiting. had an emergency i had to leave them. and also moving them and touching them too much.
but things are still happening and no signs of comntam. i wanted to ask for your opinion and advise on my FC and also ask your help in determine aborts. (BTW is it ok to leave an abort on the cake or should i remove it?)
thanks a lot and hope to get useful wise knowlege.

I'm not an elder. I've grown once using SHFC and BRF cakes, but I did so successfully. So now you know my own newbie credentials!
I would say your cakes look quite dry, almost crisp! My mushrooms never at any stage during the growth process looked like yours.
I misted the cakes themselves, the walls, the perlite, the lid, a few times pr day.
Every time I opened the lid and stuck my nose in (before the air was replaced) it smelled moist and mushroomy, it was like a jungle.
Don't go crazy and put a fire hose down there before posters with more experience help you, of course, just giving my advice.

Automated FCs just don't usually work well.
Get a different FC.
