How's my flush? and wtf is that?

Okay so I got 3 cakes that are fruiting at the moment. They were all birthed at the same time, but 1 of them is taking a bit longer than the other 2. Is it because it is a different strain? The 2 are GT's and the 3rd is Stargazers. Anyway, on a scale of 1 to 10, how's my flush?! 
Also, I'm sure that is bruising, but it's a lot darker than what I'm use to seeing. Anybody have a clue as to why? Note: I literally misted right before taking this picture.

For a cake it's just about as good as you can expect. Good work.
Bluing varies in color and darkness in grows. I've had shrooms that bruise almost greenish blue. I've also had shrooms that would blue in a way that looked like dark ballpoint pen ink from where my fingers touched the stem.
I'd say up your fae, looks really wet. Maybe you just got too aggressive with the misting and that caused the bluing

They get plenty of FAE because I probably fan more than I should. The misting, however, is more than likely the problem. Like I said, I fan more than I should and ever time I fan I also mist. It's probably counter-productive. I will adjust accordingly. Thanks for the response guys!

fanning does not provide FAE. unless you fan every 30min for 15min 24hrs a day.
you fan after you mist to help evaporate moisture off the surface to help pinning. nothing to do with FAE.
you shit looks great(minus that gray whatnot) dont adjust a thing TBH!

Mist/fan is basically lift lid, scoop air, mist, wave the lid over it and make sure it smells like mushrooms again and close it. If you haven't stopped misting yet then I would now.

The cake is probably bruising hard due to the rate the water is being pulled from it. I would sit that in a saucer of water overnight and drain off the excess in the morning. Do that every night.

What do you mean by "drain the excess"? So I just center the cake in a saucer of water?

Yup in a saucer. Any not absorbed by morning gets poured off and replaced with fresh.

Put it in a saucer of water, and replace the water once a day 
Yep bruising like that is always from drying out, this just happened to have been a pic taken after a recent misting, which always throws people off lol

Okay, I follow and I'm going to do that momentarily, but I just have one more question - you say any not absorbed by morning gets replaced with fresh water; after letting it sit overnight and replenishing the water in the morning, when do I put it back in the FC?

You keep it in the FC the whole time.

I had two other cakes showing spots of the same colored bruising, so...

This ok?

Leave them in the saucer overnight they'll be heavier and the most hydrated they'll get. Honestly after that I don't think you should touch them. They'll all be the same weight they were after you pulled them out of the dunk.

Thanks bros 
If any of you don't mind offering more advice, check out my other thread with a question I had regarding these same cakes. I'll give you a hint: It has to do with the stunted one!

They're gonna be very nice.. please do update.. you'll notice a substantial amount of water is missing from that. They retain a lot. The one on the left is gonna bust a fat nut on a huge cluster I hope you learn agar and culture work. Be a very nice tissue sample to get some canopies going in other tubs. It's so pretty you've done a great job. A big fat bouquet is gonna come off that.

Mushrooms that have been deprived of water while fruiting and then given tons can sometimes make a few look all sorts of weird. It's just from rapid growth. So if they look retarded on some spots don't worry. And if some of those sporulate and you find purple-black in there tomorrow don't freak out either.. sometimes a good soak will make them drop their veils early.

If you use the lids next time instead of foil, you'll eliminate a contamination vector - standing water in a fruiting chamber - and help the "casing layer" of the cake give off a better pinset. The closest you can get the cake to the edge of, without touching the perlite, gives constant waves of passive air the opportunity to get into every nook and crannie of the verm. Just make sure the lid is upside down. It helps, also, if your sgfc is next to a wall or a fan is blowing and part of the chamber performs different than the other. I had to move cakes in this one a row back (horizontally) every 3 days or they'd dry out. Also a sgfc loses efficiency and efficacy the bigger you get. I'd never make one bigger than half the size of this.
Hope some of this helps.

Hell yeah man, that was motivating! I'm actually in the process of gathering the supplies for doing my first LC, while also hunting agar down at local retail stores, though I may have to order some. Either way, I will definitely update and look forward to harvesting these bad boys. I will definitely get a tissue sample as well. However, you lost me with "get some canopies going in other tubs" so feel free to elaborate on that or even send me a PM! This is my first grow and I am absolutely fascinated with this practice now. I am also working on my first monotub grow using Frank's 12 Steps to Shrooms (a spore-to-shroom bulk tek for beginners)

Ohh.. canopies are when the pinset is so tight and even that when the mushrooms come up in your tub so well that you can't see the bottom. Like the canopy of the rain forest. Cloning tissue of big fruits and clusters and potent fruits is how you figure out to make dank mushrooms with a high bioefficiency (BE), or how many mushrooms you get per quart of spawn.
Before you do LC and knock up a bunch of grain with potentially contaminated spores, clean it up on agar and make sure bacteria isn't hitching a ride.
You can do blender less liquid inoculant which is just as easy.. get a clean plate of agar and drop into a sterile jar of water and shake. Then pour all day long knowing that nothing but mycelium and nutrients are in your work.

Damn this is some dank advice! I follow you, but if you wouldn't mind PM'ing me with this in a little more detail. I feel like I could learn a lot from you

There are better people here than me haha. I just pick wild actives and play with cakes and do culture work on the side. Something about having a couple different species on agar just in case feels good I dunno haha. You can keep bumping this thread with updates if you don't have a grow log. Sometimes people start them in their journals and have them moved when all is said and done. When I get high I just love talking about mushrooms .. in my signature there's a link for AMU Q&A. It's an ongoing Q&A thread that people who have a quick question or two can drop in. They are good knowledgeable folks. And sorry no I don't do PMs since I think all grow advice should be public. You can revisit your thread by going up on the top left to Threads, or in the far bottom left of a thread there's a link to toggle it as fsvorite. It'll show up when you login at your account screen.
