Hmm very helpful. I feel like I may be over fanning a bit then. I try to let the water dry before misting and fanning. I'm not worried about going almost all day without fanning now. I mist before I leave and fan then when I get home at like 5 there isn't any water on them and I misthink and fan. Then I keep fanning till I go to bed every hour or 2. Maybe too much. I won't dunk again then. I'll just roll and mist then fan like usual. Very helpful info taGyo! I've noticed I'm not getting any pinning anymore. This could be from lack of water? When I first birthed them I didn't let much if any water get on them.

So let me know where I'm wrong but now I'm thinking I shouldn't fan as much? Only when I mist?

2 times a day, 3 if needed. When it looks dry mist. Not sure if I posted this here already but verm glitters when wet and looks more like sand when it's dry.

Ohhhh okay. Awesome. I ready somewhere to fan like 5 times a day so I've been fanning like crazy. But now I just miss and fan 2 or 3 times. If it's damp and still a bit compact don't mist? Only mist when it's not moist?

Correct.  Wait til it's visibly no longer glistening then mist.

I may have wet it too much haha. Yesterday I started spraying like crazy in the morning and they are still a bit damp to the touch.

The biggest mistake most cultivators make is killing their shrooms with love.

Get the hygrometer out of ther, it's not necessary. You could use a touch more FAE but good job so far.

The hygrometer let's me know the moisture content though. I like knowing when the humidity drops below 80. And what the temp is. And when I spray water I spray the same amount on the hygrometer to see how much it is. I just feel better having it in there. If I had more cakes I would take it out. It's like a confidence booster for me. Hah.

What do you mean by a touch more of FAE? Like fanning?

Great well it's boosting your confidence in the wrong direction, since there's no way that thing is measuring the humidity level accurately from where it's at, and there's DEFINITELY no way it's measuring the humidity level at the surface of the cakes where it matters.

Humidity is supposed to fluctuate.  If you're going by some arbitrary number on a digital hygrometer then you're just holding yourself back from seeing the real signs you're supposed to be looking for.

Alright I gotcha. I'll take it out. Whas a big sign of too much misting the cakes? Or not enough?

If it's too wet you'll see it being too wet.  It will have pooled water on it and it won't dry up within a few hours.  The mycelium around the base of the fruits may start to look a little translucent, that's a good indication it's waterlogged and that usually causes aborts.  The main issue here is that the mycelium needs to breathe.  Evaporation has to be consistently occurring throughout the whole fruiting cycle.

Too dry is obviously the opposite.  You want there to be some glistening and beads of moisture on the surface.  As long as it's not pooling or suffocating the mycelium it's fine, if the mycelium is dull and dry, it has to be misted or it'll begin to affect your yield as well.

I think that cakes are too dry right now. They didn't have any water on them for like a week after the flush. They are light to pick up. I feel like they could be growing a bit faster maybe. But I'm no expert. I'll post new pics from 9 hours after last posted pics

If they're light dunk them for 24 hrs.
