Koh samui super strain BRF cakes

SWIM inoculated 16 BRF jars with koh samui super strain on dec 12. They took a while to colonize but SWIM birthed the first cake on January 2nd and the rest of them went into the fruiting chamber on January 8th. SWIM cased all but 3 in vermiculite as a test. There were some dry rock hard parts of substrate on some cakes that halted colonizing in the jars so those were cut off gently with a sterile knife before they were birthed. Since they’ve birthed, the cake swim birthed on the 2nd just started to pin. However, is has some blue discoloration underneath the mycelium. Swim thinks it may be bruising but just hoping it’s not a contam? Also, Swim made the mistake of not dunking these cakes before swim put them in the fruiting chamber and now swim fears they aren’t wet enough, despite the humidity of 99% in the fruiting chamber. Is it too late to dunk them? Or should I just leave them to pin slowly and keep misting? This is swims first grow and He loves these cakes they’re his children and is just worried about them!

Don't use swim. Build a sgfc and put them in there. The air pump humidifier thing and perlite in a tub with no holes sitting on the ground. Yea not going to work well

Also don't rely on those crap temp/humidity gauges. Its like trying to drive your car looking only at the speedometer. Pay attention to the cakes

Moved them to an sgfc and the one cake I birthed before the rest is pinning in 4 different places and there are some pins on the others as well. There is an odd growth on one of my cakes you’ll see it in the pictures. Not sure if it’s a contam and needs to be isolated or what. Any input is welcome!

They promote bacterial growth...room temperatures are fine for colonization.

Yeah I think it’s responsible for my slow colonization because it dried out my substrate when I let it get too hot.
