First Grow SGFC PF Fruiting Check In 1

First timer! B+ some cakes inoculated with my LC, some with straight spores. They entered my shotgun fruiting chamber 12 days ago. I'm very excited by the progress, but have some worries and would love suggestions on adjustments.
Conditions: - Pretty heavy misting until glistening and fanning twice per day most days. 3 times per day for 3 of the days when I could be home for longer. Humidity per a digital meter always returns to 99% shortly after fanning. - Room temp around 68-72 most of the time - occasional 65 or 75 extremes. Right now I've been trying to keep it around 72. - Only light is indirect sunlight coming into the room. Pics taken with the best light they get in the morning. Direct sunlight is never on them.
What looks good: a few cakes showing really solid looking clusters. And the one big guy that keeps growing sideways. I keep giving it room but it won't grow upward?
My worries: Some cakes seem to have stunted, grey-looking pins (pictured). I think I may have over-misted somewhat. The worst offender was the one in the center (getting the most water when misting because central location). In the pic I moved over to be stacked to the right this morning hoping for more FAE there closer to the holes. When I moved it it felt kind of mushy and water-logged on the bottom. This morning I also turned a box fan on low in the room pointed away from the container hoping to get things a bit more dried out. Will prob only have it on for today and will just try to mist more lightly.
THANK YOU!

get rid of the hygrometer it is useless and digital made in China ones are crap for high humidity anyway. direct sunlight would be outside lid open sun beaming down on them, it's not direct through a window and the plastic tote. you want some good lighting that's why you have smallish caps. you're not gonna get every pin to mature especially in clusters don't worry about it just focus on not letting them dry out. fanning doesn't do a whole lot with a chamber riddled with holes so save your arms and just mist as needed not on any schedule just look at your cakes, do they look dry?...squirt them

I dont see any issues here. The grey caps is just the coloring of the strain not some fruiting issue.
Also, noice macro pics!

Thanks all!
What a difference a day makes towards the end! I harvested my first batch this morning got 75g wet / 5g dry off of two cakes. Lots more cakes look like they're going towards this same outcome :-).
Happy with the results, but perhaps will order a lamp to use for the second flush to see if that increases cap size.
