Not enough shroom production

1 week ago I birthed my 10 cakes and placing them in my fruiting chamber without dunking, 3 shrooms have been growing nicely and a couple small little pins have come up. The humidity stays around 92% and temp. is around 75, I have a air pump that feeds in air 4 times a day. Can someone give me any advice to produce more shrooms?

drill holes in a 2x2 inch grid pattern on all 6 sides. keep the perlite. ditch the air pump.

Mushrooms need fresh air. more than humidity. like you worry about breathing more than your skin drying out..

Nest time, use a SGFC, and do a dunk and roll to get this bro! These 2 things REALLY help yield!

Funny enough it can be easier grow shitload of mushrooms than it is to grow a few
I'd say go to a bulk tek if you want bulk. A monotub would have way better yield and they are harder to mess up than cakes. Classic monotub is basically set and forget

Third. We have a quorum. Dunk and roll, and a proper SGFC. Then move on to a mono-tub

It's definately not too late to save your project.
1) Harvest everything and dunk those cakes in a big pot filled with tap water. Put a weight over it so the cakes stay under water for 24 hours.
2) In the meantime, improve your terrarium. Search for SGFC. Ditch the pump and drill holes (a lot) on the six sides. You could also rehydrate your perlite all over again with a strainer since you have time.
3) After 24H soak, roll every cakes in dry vermiculite so cakes are fully covered with verm. Place cakes in improved terrarium right after.
4) Mist the cakes. And mist again as needed the next days.
5) Come back here in a week with better looking pictures so we all can be proud about yourself. You'll feel really great after that, i promise.
