fanning a SGFC is like rolling a window down on a skateboard. any FC that gets automated FAE doesn't need fanning.

My SGFC has 1/4" holes on all 6 sides with 2" spacing. I'm being told contradicting fanning methods. Should I or should I not fan?
And the cakes look gteen in the pics but they're blue.

They're blue due to. Too. Much fanning, too much air flow, too much stress. And not enough water on them Long enough. It's evapping too quickly

take a better pic of the cake in the upper left.. bruising?? or trich? its too blurry.
think of fanning like when you would fan yourself.
it dries the sweat on the skin, cooling you right? instead of fanning yourself..go inside. (have optimal conditions and you dont need to fan)
work on your ambient conditions. normal, room temp and shit.

And misting is just a few pumps of the sprayer. Just enough, not saturate. I misted these 4 times a day, no fanning. Pins all over

Here's a better pic of top left cake.

And I guess if perlite gets on cake it's okay?

Surf hair? I think what you're seeing could be a dog hair that somehow ended up on top of the cake. Tried to remove it but haven't been successful.

Then this is said

bodhisatta said: you can fan but you don't need to. fanning wont hurt anything. but simply removing the lid to mist is more than enough fanning anyway.
also read a few of these https://www.shroomery.org/forums/dosearch.php?where=body&tosearch=both&how=all&words=sgfc+fanning&namebox=bodhisatta&newerval=2&newertype=y&limit=25&showmain=1&sort=r&way=d
Fanning is good. One needs to be able to achieve the delicate balance between fanning, misting, understanding what roles each task plays, prioritizing them, and adjust accordingly.

yea, they don't contradict each other 
and no it's not really that complicated man. a SGFC is a crutch so you can go to work 10 hours a day and sleep 8

Ya'll think these cakes are worth saving? Or should I buy new spores and start again?

Try to salvage. And you should have more left correct? How did you start them this time

Actually, my friend started making the cakes but then decided he couldn't farm them after birthing the cakes into the chamber. But he used a combo of flour and vermiculite then inserted a spore syringe. Not sure when exactly but he steamed/boiled the jars at some point. He's a smart dude and looked at many tutorial vids so I'm sure he did everything in the correct order.

I don't know if that's bluing or some type of new blue mold you created. Anyone else?
