Bah..what's wrong with my cakes

So this is my first grow. One cake had minimal growth, (only 3), another has had zero growth, and the one I have pictured, I have no idea if they are pins aborts or knots. Any help on my dilemma would be great. Many thanks.

Looks like pins  What does your fruiting chamber set up look like? Everything looks on track from what I can tell by your pic. Keep misting. congrats on your first pins man
EDIT: wait a sec... I think I spot a spore drop on your perlite lol

SGFC

I've been misting average 3 times a day or as much as I can see when the sides appear dry
And yes. The cap opened and dumped while I was a sleep.

Follow the directions for success
The SGFC is not elevated. So the holes in the bottom are blocked and useless.
4-6 inches of perlite. Not 2 inches
The sides always should be dry. They're plastic plastic does not grow so it doesn't need mist. Mist 0-5 times a day not 3. Mist it if it needs it not just a set amount of times

For real, common sense isn't so common. I didn't even think about lifting the tank for better air flow. I thought is was more for water to drip if needed. Makes way more sense for elevation. I'll also add another inch of perilite. I do have 3 inches but with the container size I was worried about not having enough space for vertical growth. I'll continue to monitor cake dampness vs wall moistness for signs. Thanks for your great advices.

I also believe this is true. They were a 100% colonized, but I only consolidated for 4 days after because I started to see small ones growing inside one of the jars..thinking back I wish I only birthed that one and not the 3. My other 2 jars are still consolidating since they reached 100% it's been 8 days for them. Going to try and wait another 12 days before I think about birthing them. Seems trial and error is my best method for learning. Thanks for your advice much appreciated

Hey I noticed you're using both pieces of your lid as a platform for your cakes. Click the giant cake pic on the left of my signature! You can start bottom watering that cake with the pins!

Really? Unless its a littler tub and the pics make it look bigger but the verticle holes are further apart than tbe horizontal. They look closer to 3" across maybe 4 down but I guess that scale in the picture maybe play a part. Also your perlite is 3" deep you say but at its highest point its not hitting the second set of holes which are at the bottom level with the perlite, which surely means either your perlite is under 2" or your holes are 3"+ apart

Looks like enough perlite from here.... I'm no expert but I've grown a shit ton of cakes. Looks like four inches or so judging by the holes. I would not do anything drastic till one of the old heads chimes in OP. Dick
