Hello! So I followed a pf tek up with a shotgun grow chamber. When the chamber is in light it is around 90% humidity and in the dark it's around 95-98%, temp. Is always about 75. All three cakes went through the same exact pro cess and so far I have one giant shroom and that's it. Are the other cakes just taking longer? Or is something wrong. They have been: sterilized fully colonized Soaked 18 hrs rolled in sterile vevern Light 8on/16off http://

Mushroom looks good!
My first grew like that too.
Also are your cakes on foil? It looks like they're trying to colonize the perlite.

They are on their jar lids, somehow they have managed to pick up bibits of perlite... is that real bad? There is one cap coming out of some perlite that is stuck to it, is that ok?

If the mushroom is spending energy colonizing the perlite then it's not devoting it's full resources to fruiting. Full colonization is pinning trigger numero uno.

What is your ambient humidity in your room? You misting and fanning regularly and allowing time for the water to evaporate off the cakes?
P.S. Its been recommended to follow a 12/12 lighting schedule with a 6500K daylight bulb.
