My First Grow

So whats up guys! I inoculated my jars around 1 week ago (I am not sure what is what besides groups of 6 i have the 2 separated in - Cambodian and Brazilian.)
This is my fruiting chamber I built, I am going to put smaller boxes over the foil or bags and fill with perlite and put my cakes on top of that and lil squares of foil. I used 100% polyester cotton to fill the air holes to keep contam out and an air filter and hoses/stones for extra humidity plus constant fresh airflow.



Here are my cakes! Only 1 week old! But maybe its just my light from the room and my camera getting it too, or its just natural? They seem white/pink. Very pale of a pink, but its in there, maybe its the strains? (IDK what is what of the groups of 6, one is Braz other 6 is Cambo.) These 6 are the faster forming jars.



The one of the 6 above with the most advanced growth has this small yellowish spot i guess and this 1 red tiny line. IDK what it is.


Here are the last 6 jars! They are not growing as fast as the other strain.

So... I'll ask somewhat nicely before everyone else gets to it... What's your main aversion to just using a fruiting chamber that was already designed and tested? How does that thing work exactly? Polyfill doesn't keep out contams either, polyfill is used in holes in fruiting chambers specifically to control the amount of air flow taking place. Why are you trying to increase the humidity in a chamber type that is supposed to hold its own humidity? Are those air stones in a jar of water? Too much humidity is bad because evaporation needs to occur, not that that's actually adding any. I see a lot of things done here without understanding as to why they were done.

I didn't want my perlite to be that wet, I want the majority of the humidity to come from the air stones. And the polyfil i hear allows air to pass through but not water and I also believe it won't mold because its polyester.
But then again this is my first grow, I don't really know much haha.

many have given up on this hobby because they've over complicated it. be careful of making that mistake. you can build time machines if that's what interests you but you have a better chance of sticking with this hobby if you follow simple teks that are proven to work.
