Okay!! So looks like I'll be harvesting my first flush soon perhaps a day or 2.. So a couple things i noticed is the bruising at the bases and sum on top as u will see from my pics could this be from over saturation or under? And 2 tiny pins popped from the top of the cake but havent really grown are these size fruits normal for pf cakes? And i did calibrate the meter was showing 70% as 100% go figure.. Could over humidity or over saturation damage cakes too just like under saturation? And thank alot guys yall have been very helpful.
P.s for second flush dunk is it for 12 or 24?

here is water absorption test for BRF cakes https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/24739690
So your hygrometer shows 70% at saturation levels? did you wrap it in a towel or did you use the salt to calibrate?

Sometimes myclium bruises and you can´t do much about it. Cakes have a huge surface area compared to the moisture they hold so they can easily bruise if they dry out too quick. Focus on watching the cakes more than the hygrometer. Better yet, just watch the cakes

Yellowish i thought metabolites but im not sure will this be bad for second flush if it is metabolites? I hope not contam! Should i start the cake with the day cycle or give it dark or does it matter?

You should never keep a live culture in the dark, they need the light to stay healthy.

If your SGFC is built to spec, you don't need to fan. There's plenty of air flow for evaporation.

I have mine in a closet and need to keep the door closed for sometimes but do open it for sometimes too i do fan but lightly and not long either just to refresh the air in the closet.

Fanning is really pointless unless you´re doing it a few times per hour all day and night. But if it gives you piece of mind then by all means keep doing it

Still no pinning? It's not impossible, but 2 weeks is a long time. I looked back through my myc journal and none of the cakes from my grows have taken that long to pin from full colonisation to first flush. So unless you birthed them too early...
A couple things:
1) You said it's in the closet. And somebody told you that if the SGFC is to spec, you don't need to fan. Putting the SGFC in the closet is NOT to spec. RR is the one who designed it and he has said over and over again that it's designed to be in the middle of a normal room. Use the search function and specify posts by RogerRabbit with the search terms 'closet' and 'SGFC'. You'll learn a lot. Closet grows are doable and there are lots of teks for that, but it's not going to go optimally with a SGFC. If you really need the closet, I'd go with sclerotia, using stonesun's tek. But you're gonna need a PC for that.
2) Most people around here say you don't need the hygrometer if you've made the SGFC to spec and that they don't work anyway. That's been my experience as well. Before I threw it out because it got waterlogged, my hygrometer was all over the place; you never knew what that thing was going to read. But cakes were often fine when the hygrometer was low. So it's probably just confusing you. I wouldn't pay much attention to it.

Hey bro i got the pinning down i just fear i my be over misting in the fruiting stage. Should i chill with the misting once the fruits start growing? The base to sum of them not all is like fat or bulgey i dont kno if this is due to too much water...what should the misting cycle be during fruit stage.
