Should be perfect if it was properly built.
But I see less than 3" of perlite so yea....

That is terrible, the walls that got wet from you misting should be dry in a couple hours tops, or your chamber is not getting enough FAE.

SinysterKyd said: Part of the challenge in loading the cakes so heavy is that you can't spray the perlite directly I guess?
What?
Spray everything directly with a fine mist...the cakes and the perlite.
Then fan out the chamber so some of that water can evaporate and induce pinning.

So if your jars are 50% colonized at the top of your jar and the mycelium is reaching through the dry vermiculite layer what would be my next step? Do I just leave it be and let it do its thing or is there something I can do?

Thanks guys. My perlite comment was poorly worded. The problem I was trying to say is that there is less perlite surface area to absorb mist with all the cakes in there, compared to when I ran the test run of the two small cakes that went very well for a noob like myself
I've got plenty of pinning even on the cake that is exploding right now more pins are popping at the base of fruits, so I think the exchange and humidity is good.
I will start paying more attention to the wall humidity then, I haven't really been mentally noting it every time I mist.
Perlite level is a little under 3", it was at 3 when I loaded it up afew weeks ago but seems to have compacted some.

If everything is colonized except for the dry verm layer, leave them for one full week longer and birth, dunk and roll.

Updated my SGFC with more perlite and started the second one last night, with trays now. My first two B+ cakes that finished first flush have a 2 day total of 99.5 g wet, I'm very pleased with that!
the new layout, split each SFGC with a tray and 5 - 6 cakes

one of the early first-flush cakes

60g harvested today
