Looks dry

Cakes usually get a bit moist looking.  If it is cold in your grow the air could be dry.

Experts would say to mist sides of the box.

Cakes are too dry. If it were a tub I'd pour some water down the side of it, but I've never done PF cakes before so, I'm assuming you can't just dunk those real quick? Maybe scoop out a little piece of the top and pour some bottled water in there?

IDK if misting will be enough at this point, the substrate seems to be way too dry.

My perlite is always damp... and maybe 1 hour of the day at the most the tub won’t have much water on the sides, as shown in the picture... I’ve been misting 2 times a day, and at the point when I took the picture there wasn’t much moisture on the side of the tub...
Even the lid has water droplets on top.. it confuses me that the humidity is so high yet the cake is drying?
Is there anything I can do to save this cake then? I have a very fine mister Ment for chambers, I heard it’s not the best to most the cake at all correct? This is the first flush as well...

Thank you for the comments!

Temp?

Not saying for sure too dry.  Just a guess from how it looks.

Maybe mist more

I understand, I appreciate all the comments and opinions!
The temp is what I did forget to mention, my chamber does have a low temp.. it holds 66 f.
I’ve researched that low temps like 65-69 can almost be better than higher temps? Correct me if I’m wrong.... I heard the fruits CAN produce fuller and bigger, but obviously won’t harvest as fast?

It also  affects dew temp, which is what you need.  Humidity and high temps go together.

I'd bump up the ol thermostate a nudge.  Maybe move to a warmer location, interior area away from exterior walls and windows.

Bigger fruits and slower growth is what cool temps do for shrooms.  Growing from cakes is not the biggest usually.  Save your big fruit wishes for later.

I appreciate the help Moral Guy. What your saying does make sense. I will definitely be moving it to a warmer location...

While your here if I could get your opinion on One more thing, obviously the top right one looks funky, and aborted maybe? Should I let all these ride out? Besides the dry cracking, the way it’s pulling from the cap that’s not formed makes me wonder if I should pick them and hope for better next time.

Thank you again
