WTF in my SGFC. (PICS)

Hey guys I think I'm doing some stuff seriously wrong inside my SGFC's. Perhaps misting too much, fanning too little? I really don't know. Need some advice.
Here's my SGFC containing 6 BRF Amazon cakes.

These seem to be aborting? Plus one albino one? I have no idea.

Blueing on top of cake. Too much misting, too little misting?

Is this an albino?

These seem to be aborting? Caps different colors than others? Also, top of cake is blueing. Hard to tell in the picture.

Also, this is my other SGFC of PESA strain and not one pin yet after 4 days.

Those all look fine to me. Ditch the digital crap thermometer & hygrometer combo. Get analog ones, and make sure the hygrometer can be calibrated.
The ones you identified appear to be done so correctly. I wouldn't worry about the PESA. Just give them time. Cakes can take a week or so to pin.

Yes, the digital hygrometer is crap, I need analog ones. Also, I have a ceiling fan on the lowest setting in that room.
Any idea why the cakes would be turning blue like that?

drying out, normally, is the cause of that type of bluing. But that's totally normal, which is why we dunk between flushes.

It could be moisture from the misting if you mist aggressively. Could be your cakes have a std, most likely it's from the mist, I'd back the nozzle up a bit or use a finer mist setting.

Okay thanks guys. I guess I'll just keep doing what I'm doing. I wish I could get a finer mist setting but my spray bottle still squirts out big drops along with the fine mist.

A fan on in the room could possibly have a negative effect on the RH in a SGFC. Also make sure you have the holes on the bottom and the chamber is elevated slightly so air can pass underneath it.

I spray mine above the substrate and let it fall onto it. The only thing I mist directly is the walls (and perlite when applicable).

I had severe bruising on my cakes, check my second log in my sig to see what it looked like. Everyone swore up and down it was just bruising, and yours look exactly like mine did. The bruised cakes put out some really good flushes too. I was all up in arms thinkin I had contams, spraying the house down with lysol and shutting off all the fans and shit in the house. xD
I don't know about the odd color of the mushies. If you're using spore syringes, expect varied results. My first grow died probably due to genetics if the people are to be believed (and I think they are) but even at that, I had about 3 aborts on my second grow which I considered a success. Don't stress on it, give them time. When you mist, hit the walls and the cakes but don't leave puddles, you just want them to glisten, then fan for 10 - 30s.

Caps have opened up a lot since I posted this morning.
Is this a good time to make a print from this cap? I can't see any spores around it.

How bout these? Time to pick?

Afaik, if the veil is torn you can set it to print. No need to wait for it to start dropping beforehand, it will start soon enough..

Ready to harvest for potency vs. weight. Wait another 18 hours for printing or when the cap flattens.
Also, please upload your photos to the site. IDK why users don't do that anymore.

Thank you! Oh and I haven't been uploading because the pictures from my phone are between 2-4mb and it's a minor inconvenience to re-size them every-time in PS CS6. However, since you've brought it's importance to my attention I will start uploading to the shroomery.

Ah, no worries. I get it. I auto-resize when I upload my pictures to my computer.

You answered your own question. I've posted hundreds of times there should never be a fan in the same room with a shotgun terrarium because it screws up the natural circulation and blows all the humidity out. RR

theyre doing just fine. The bluing is probably from slight damage from misting, happened to me all the time until I started misting at an angle that would allow the droplets to gently fall
