PE Cake produced 3 giant fruits, all other pins far behind...

So I've had my cake in the FC for a little over a week now. 2 PE BRF Cakes were spawned to manure at a 1:2 ratio. First flush yielded about 60 g wet, 16 g dry.
After I dunked and rolled in verm, the two pins that are now ginormous only took two days to emerge. The others have just now been popping through this week. How should I go about fruiting this cake? Many of the small pins are aborting and showing little sign of growth. Could this be due to too much misting? I know PEs are slower to pin anyways, and my first flush took about a week to show signs of pinning anyways. Here are pics from about 15 minutes ago.
   
I have been misting indirectly by squirting about ten squirts of mist directly up in the air four feet above the chamber and allowing the droplets that make it down to the fc to fall. There is absolutely no pooling water at this point and the cake looks pretty healthy.
They have been getting direct light on on a 12/12 cycle through the windows in the room. Too much sunlight? I closed the blinds today to see if growth would progress quicker.
I think these big ones will be done in the next couple days. They're each about the size of my hand and the caps separated from the stem yesterday. Am i safe to fruit those in the next few days and allow the others to continue growing for another week?

Bright light is what you want. There is no rule that says they're all going to fruit in nice even flushes. Simply pick them off as they get ready. Sometimes you'll get lucky from spores, but usually you'll want to clone or isolate for best performance. RR

Thanks RR.
The stems below the cap swelled while I was at work, so I'm gonna pick those three now. I will get to cloning that giant sucker in the next couple days.
On a side note, I appreciate what you do here. Thanks.
