brf cake help needed

hi all, first post here. i know brf cakes are the easiest way to begin that is why i dont understand why im have trouble, I've done everything that works for other people. my first flush was kinda weak. i birthed 6 cakes at 100% colonization. 2 were PE and i had a vitro pin but nothing since birthing. now everything seems to have stalled but i haven't changed anything. i had a few pins for the second flush but they haven't developed and some of them just turned black. again i didnt change any habits mist and fan 3-5x daily. i was thinking to dunk them but both dunk/no dunk sides seem to have success. very frustrating

Did you follow Brf Tek instructions to the letter?

of course, i must be missing something but i dont know what. i watch what is working for everyone else and i repeat but mine is stalling on the second flush. i dont know how to upload pics yet from my phone to my laptop to here. they dont show anything anyway except some little black headed pins and some farther developed shrooms about 1 and half inchs. i will figure out how to post them shortly

I dunk after every flush if using brf cakes. What’s your chamber’s humidity clocking in at?

Are they multispore? Could just be genetics. I have some that are taking forever to pin right now while a couple others are just chugging along. I'd say wait it out as long as you don't see any contams

its a muck up. i have 2 PE, 2 golden teacher, and 2 B . i am aware the pe take longer, some say over twice as long. and its kinda cool bc its in a basement with full blast ac so temp could be higher but RH and FAE are consistent. i dont see why the pins aborted and stalled. maybe i should dunk, that the only thing i know of that i haven't done but not everyone dunks every flush. All i can do is wait it out i guess. i had two humidity gauges but they read different numbers so i just use moisture on tub walls to gauge.

Have you tried turning them off and back on again? 
I'm sorry haha but for real yeah just keep misting and fanning like normal and give it a few more days

You strayed from the letter of the law. Check your humidity & temperature if you are concerned. Use a checklist to make sure you followed directions. It’s like baking a cake, just follow the recipe.
After doing the brf tek successfully the first few times I gained a sense for it and the basics became committed to memory. gL.
