you want it to be further from the walls.. and maybe a few inches higher off the table. also, a bathroom is not a great place. get it in a bigger, more open room, or something. plus bathrooms are filthy.
also, get rid of the hygrometer. it is only going to confuse you. only mist when they look dry. the micro-climate on the cake's surface is all that matters, and you cant measure it with a hygrometer. you use your eyes.
other than that, the construction looks good.

Ere the bathroom thing umm you can't tell from the picture but it's a huge bathroom and is like 6 feet from everything else also has a huge walk in closet which was where I kept the jars and they all turned out fine. Btw idk why if kept that hygrometer in there I don't plan to use it at all. I know to mist the cakes by the moisture content on the cakes them self

All of what Muppet said, although you can have your shit in the dirtiest place in your house and grow no problems. The reason why I advise against bathrooms is because they're usually small with very little airflow. Leave it in an open big room. If the bathroom is as big as you say, it needs to be in the middle of it, not against the walls or corner of anything. Elevate it like at least 6 inches high.

cool deal, and yeah i was meaning no bathroom more for how small it is, and i know that the dirtiness isnt a big deal for fruiting, but i still for some reason just dont like the idea of my FC being in a bathroom haha.. not sure why, just dont.

Alrighty now so maybe a second stack of jars underneath it is now pushed back. My reason for my bathroom is because I have the most control of my airflow in there I can open the closet door double the size of the room basicly cause there's no vent in there the vent is in the bathroom but I thought it requires little to no airflow but like I said I can open the vent.

you will still want the FC to be away from those walls, though. it needs to be like a foot from all walls to work properly. so that room just seems a little impractical. you would have to put it basically in the middle of that room, off the floor. and that probably wouldnt be very reasonable. i would just choose a different room, where you can have it off the floor, at least a foot from all walls, and liften off the table it's on by about 6in, with no obstructions around, above, or below it. you need to air to be able to flow on all sides fo it.
I am NOT saying that it WILL NOT work where and how it is, now. but ideally, you will want it to be the way i explained.

I'm gonna be able to do all that except for change rooms at the moment I have it about a foot away on all side now will be raising it alil using jars. Will be rethinking the location but until then I will make all the adjustments I can and just hope for the best. On average how long you think it will be before I notice growth for the cakes after the dunk and roll? Also at this stage with nearly perfect cakes should I have to worry about Fontana?

what the hell is Fontana? hahah if you mean contams, then 100% colonized, and healthy cakes are pretty contam resistant. there can be hidden bacteria in your cakes, though, which can cause lower yields and can also let contams/molds and stuff get a foothold. you will learn how to spot that kinda stuff after more experience. im still very much a noob, so it's still hard for me to spot stuff like that, sometimes.
but it can take anywhere from a couple days to 2 weeks to see pins. just be patient, and treat them right. mist when dry, dont over/under mist. you'll get the hand of it all.

Yeah this is my first time. As long as I get a decent success rate I'll keep growing and learning other methods and what works best. I think I'll have a good turn out on my first cakes. I can actually smell alil hint of mushroom on the cakes it's like when you open a package of mushrooms from the store lol auto correct is funny. I use Android 5 to access Shroomery might explain why words get flipped around. I said gym the other day and my phone corrected it and made it say I'm going to the gynocologist

I reiterate the notion of selecting a different room in your house. Your bedroom is a much much better option....as pointed out the cleanliness of the grow room isn't a huge deal for cakes....but after they flush once they become much more prone to contamination, and every time you flush your toilet your sending flatulants and toilet bacteria into the air.....just doesn't paint a good picture in my head...if you are confined to your bathroom because there are people living with you that can't know what you're doing....you should strongly consider an alternative route. It isn't a nice thing to do to affiliate your friends/family in felony drug manufacturing....especially if they don't even know they are implicated....

That's another spot I have in mind but the vent is right there also there's a ceilingng fan in the middle of my room and the bathroom is connected. Would that spot really be any better. Btw the spot would be on top
