first time grower: small shrooms? 1

hey guys! i’m a first time grower and by no means an expert - using this technique https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/24972930/fpart/1/vc/1. it’s about mid-grow, but i’ve noticed some of the small shrooms dropping their veils already (which i removed), generally a clumped growth pattern, and some cracking/even holes in the tops of some shrooms.
i know i made two pretty obvious mistakes, i think: first, i noticed my tub started pinning before i had exposed it to fresh air, and then realized shortly after that there were two small uncovered holes in the tub that I hadn’t noticed (is that enough air to count as FAE?) so it started growing in kind of a haphazard fashion, before the cake was solidly white with mycelium.
second, i shook the tub to speed up the mycelium about 3 days (lol, oy) before i noticed pinning, and i think that resulted in kind of weird growth areas (+some shrooms growing from the bottom of the tub up)
also wondering if maybe they need more light/misting.
just wondering if anyone has any further advice based on these photos! once i harvest these, should i try dumping the cake in water (or is that for a totally different type of tek?) also, if they’re clumpy like this, is it best to harvest the whole clump before the second flush?
thanks all!

I’m by no means an expert, but a lot of the size will come from the genetics. What strain is this? Did you use an LC or agar?
You’re walls look dirty, which can facilitate bacteria growth and ruin future flushes. I would take an IPA cloth and clean up the edges. For future runs, I would also recommend getting your surface conditions more level too
All in all, at least you got some fruits!

Looks like sub moisture content. Looks to be a little on the wet side to me. Still, not bad looking fruits. Does your tub feel "heavy" when you pick it up? As in dense with water, still? I have a strong suspicion there is plenty of moisture there if you just leave it alone in fruiting conditions.
