tahoe said: The grow chamber looks good. Not sure how you will get better fresh air exchange. Looks like a humidity issue. Cakes love being wet. I would mist them more often. Let the water build up on them.
Thanks, Tahoe!
Could you suggest a way to retain more humidity? I can't say for sure, because I haven't physically checked, but the 4" of perlite appears to still be moist.

just keep up with the misting, that gives you all the humidity desired right on the surface of your cakes

Once in the morning, then once in the evening, as taGyo specified, correct?

The key is when they look dry. If they're wet, don't mist them.
Verm glitters when it's wet and then looks more like sand when it's not.

Gotcha. Well, I'm certainly going to stick with the twice-a-day schedule for now--as long as you think it will suffice and more or less produce the best possible flush--until, possibly, I'm a bit more experienced and can more accurately discern when and when not to mist/fan on a more frequent basis (if necessary). Also, like so many others here, I work full-time, so misting/fanning twice a day is certainly more convenient. In fact, I think I recall reading somewhere that RR was working 12+ hours daily when he designed the SGFC, and so designed it to only require a couple of misting/fannings a day. At least I think that's correct... I don't recommend taking my word on it though. I'd hate to misquote RR and/or spread faulty information.
One last thing: I've also taken the liberty of moving my setup to what I hope will be a more conducive location for FAE. The previous location being in an empty closet--with the door to the closet being open at all times, of course--to a corner of the same room, 6-8" from the wall, and, still, on the wall opposite to the floor AC/heat vent. Think this will help much? The only thing is that I have to leave the door to my study closed at all times, thanks to my three indoor feline hellions . . .

It will help a lot 
Closets, door open or not, are one of the worst places to grow an SGFC.

just monitoring this thread 
I like the look of your sgfc and gotta give you props for doing a good job. It amazes me how many first timers get it way wrong, cause they think they know better. I kinda understand, when I joined the site it wasn't so geared towards newcomers, and I was reading teks in old fishtanks and shit.
I have a feeling once your set-up's dialed in, those bad boys are gonna explode

Minor Update: Not much change in the status of the cakes just yet, but I thought I'd upload a few pics all the same, if for nothing else, to show the new location.

UPDATE 8.12.15 AKA "Tiny Pins"
DAY 9: Exciting news, fellow cultivators! It is now day 9 of my 5 cakes ([2] B+, Creeper, Cambodian, and Escondido) occupying the SGFC. I woke this morning to find tiny pins!
I very briefly removed Creeper to snap a couple of pictures:

Any thoughts, advice on how to proceed?
Thanks for all your help!
