Those look pretty wet are you misting the fruits directly?

I have been trying to spray the cakes by themselves but some water does get on the fruit. The picture was taken directly after I sprayed them.

I don't spray the cakes after they start to pin. Those look like they are a little water logged. To much moisture will increase your chances of contams.

to answer the original question. it is normal for some cakes to fruit faster than others especially if you Started with a spore syringe. Each cake has slightly different genetics.

I am new to this hobby as well though so somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

This is bad advice. You want to most them lightly and directly.

It looks to me as if you have a bunch of aborts. All those black heads. Could you load a picture of your fruiting chamber?

Looks like you have low FAE- are there holes in all 6 sides of your SGFC?

And when you must try not to get any pooling. Did you dunk and roll?

Did you let it consolidate for 7 days after 100% colonization?

Just over an inch of perlite. Mist 3 times a day and fan maybe 5 times a day depending on my schedule. In this picture only the top left one looks wet, almost slimy. Should I get rid of it? I think the other ones just have dark heads I don't think they are aborts, because the other bigger ones also started that colour. Thanks for your replies btw I appreciate it. Yes I let them consolidate for longer than 7 days just to make sure.

You should have 4-6 inches of perilite and the bottom cannot be on a flat surface- it needs a few inches at least underneath it for it to work properly. Air is sucked up through the perilite as evaporation- this is what provides both humidity and FAE into the chamber. Put a jar under each corner.

Ok thanks. :thumbup: It is raised up a little bit but I will raise it higher and give it more space around all the sides.
