I have 4 brf cakes and they have probably produced between them about 13 fruits on the first flush I've pick some of the mature ones so there is not màny now and on one cake there has only one mushroom growing.]Temp is around 68 to 70 degrees fahrenheit i mist vigoursley twice a day and fan 3 times a day directly on to the cakes as well as misting the fruiting chamber walls the cakes were originally pint sized but the bottom 10 mm on the jars stalled I think not sure took to long so I cut the uncolonised substrate off and birthed them got pins after 2 weeks

We need more info and pics help. Did you allow the cakes a week or two to consolidate after colonization? What is your fruiting chamber like? Temperature in the house, misting? Need more info please. Dick

Temp is around 68 to 70 degrees fahrenheit i mist vigoursley twice a day and fan 3 times a day directly on to the cakes as well as misting the fruiting chamber walls the cakes were originally pint sized but the bottom 10 mm on the jars stalled I think not sure took to long so I cut the uncolonised substrate off and birthed them got pins after 2 weeks

Where are the holes in your fruiting chamber? You need 1/4" holes every two inches on all sides. Dick

Ok I will drill some holes in I didn't bother as I didn't think it made a massive difference as some days if I have the time to I will fan up to 6 times.

FAE is provided by the holes. When you fan all you are doing is removing the co2 stale air that was allowed to build up due to the lack of holes. The main purpose of fanning is to speed up the evaporation process to help encourage pin head formation.
You need to read more about how a SGFC works. Sounds like you haven't done enough research.

Ok I guess not I was under the impression that fanning provided enough FAE and thought that the shot gun chamber was for if you didn't want to have to fan as much. I do have a friend who didn't drill any holes and his yield was far greater from brf cakes he did advise the shotgun chamber though do you think it would affect the grow a lot this my first grow so help is much appreciated as I've noticed a lot of misinformation on this website

Its not teally co2 you ate fanning out it is mostly just stale air...fruiting substrates dont put off a lot of co2.

Don't be lazy. Drill 1/4" holes every two inches on all six sides to avoid fails. See how lanky they are? They are suffocating. Dick

Thanks for pointing that out, I didn't realize the co2 buildup was so low.
I guess if you fanned the chamber 6 times an hour or something it would work without holes. Or left the top off/cracked with a fan nearby.
