BRF B+ grow. These things took about 1 month to start showing pins in the jars. I birthed them and dunked for 15 hours with the pins. First day in the sgfc they grew in size by like 3 times. Then they just stopped and they've barely grown at all in 3 days. New pins have formed but 4 days in and very slow, if any, growth. Pins are barely moving. Also fuzzy feet have developed pretty extensively. Lights are 6k LED 550 lumens each bulb. Room temp is always between 71-79 degrees.
FAE and Mist: I am fanning 4-5 times daily, there is great indoor/outdoor airflow through my apartment (This is a recent change, the air was pretty stagnant until today but I opened all the windows because I think fuzzy feet are a presence of dead air.), and I mist 3 times daily, very fine mist and I spray it 40 times all over the chamber (high up and indirect so it falls onto the cakes and perlite).
What am I doing wrong? Does this look ok? Is this normal? Thank you for any help I can get here. Thank you.

I think you are drying them out. There is no condensation in the fruiting chamber. Your lights might be drying things out with how close they are.
Contrary to Reddit and Willy Myco fanning is not necessary if the fruiting chamber is dialed in correctly. I have only grown in tubs but having said that I think you are dealing with too much FAE. Especially if you are opening and fanning it 4-5 times a day.
I would dunk, move the lights back, stop opening and fanning it. Just my 2 cents.

Mist it real good and put a fan in the room. No need to fan. All the fuzzy stuff is lack of air flow, the dried out caps/aborts lack of humidity. You have to maintain a high rh .... But it needs fresh air too. More cakes in the tub woukd with humidity or do a bulk case. And yeah you dont need that much direct light at all ever

I agree with the above.
The heat from the lights, air from fanning and the open window.
Bottom pinning happens because that's where the best humidity and moisture are.
Agree with moving the lights back and giving your cakes a dunk or damn good misting. The holes in your box should provide enough fresh air what with the open window near by I think. Also light isnt as much of a necessity here as it is for plants. It's more for growth direction and a little heat in some cases. Mushrooms dont need much light.
Also agree that BRF cakes to bulk sub is a better way to go, or for me it was anyway lol. I went that way after trying PF tek
Good luck

just wanted to say to all of you thanks so much for the replies. I thought I was over misting them and that the fuzzy feet was due to too much moisture. So I appreciate the correction. Thanks a lot!
