BIG UPDATE! This site didn't let me upload any pic but any hoot...
So I dunk the harvested cake but it had some nasty spots were I picked brused caps and thiught to ask if any if this is still normal?





AND NOW! Its story time! Last night I was fixing my FC and was pondering on why my 3 older cakes arnt pinning, Then I noticed that theres a pin coming from underneath the cake so I decided to flip them... YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE LOOK ON MY FACE!!!




THEY HAVE NOT FORSAKEN ME!!!! I'm so relieved! I checked them this morning and some if them are starting to get blueish and theres aerial myc growing. Any advice?

The pins were growing on the underside of the cake because the humidity in the tub was too low(check if your perlite is too dry), and the space between the foil and the bottom of the cake provided a perfect microclimate for pin formation. Also, I would make sure to fan that tub out more often, aerial mycelium is an indicator that the cakes aren't receiving enough fresh air.

Fanning isn't FAE. You'd have to fan several times an hour for it to be FAE. To increase FAE put it in a room with more air flow or further away from anything blocking the holes.

Well the tub is about in the center of my one room apartment, and I can't open the windows because I live in the sevenrh ring of hell and its 110 outside (it really is) and the AC Is the only thing keeping the tempeture sane.
Please help I couldn't find any solutions myself...

The AC should be providing enough airflow in the room.

Great sucsess! Finally something That I did right now I hope they will survive my horrid mister
P.S if the AC is creating airflow then why is there still too much CO2 and not enough FAE? Biggers holes maybe?

Was the SGFC made to specifics? 1/4" holes every 2 inches on ALL six sides? Make sure you have the tub resting on mason jars or egg crates and not a flat surface. Airflow coming in through the bottom is very important.

God help you people and your inches... This is what the FC looks like and where its postioned
The hole sizes and positions are not to spec (Used bad mesuring tools) The hole sizes are about between 1/8-1/4 and holes spacing is about between 2-3 inches apart (on top and underneath fewer holes) Can this be fixed? Or should I not meddle any further?

You'd have to remake your tote.

Dude, I understand. Drilling hundreds of holes in a tote was not fun for me either. When my yields from cakes were on the lower side, I was like wtf am I doing all this work for? That's what got me thinking, bulk tubs sound a lot easier to make and fruits are bigger and more prolific. Never looked back since that day
