BRF Cakes First Grow - Growing, but Weird! Help

Hey all! I’m pretty excited. My first attempt at a grow is going decently. I’ve learned a ton along the way and I will have better techniques for my next batch. I started out with 12 BRF jars that were inoculated Nov 11, 2020 and ended up with 7 viable cakes! One is dunking.
The tub is in my office, which is basically an oversized closet with no windows. We have a puppy so I have to keep the tub away from her. I use a grow bulb and one of those Seasonal Affective Disorder lamps for depression on a 12hr on/off cycle. I live where it gets extremely cold, so I run an oil heater to keep the room around 70 degrees, I might have had it too close to the tub?
I have golden teachers and b+. I’m attempting the water tub tek, but the microclimate isn’t super consistent? The top third of the cake was dry to the touch. Some of the caps are open and I think ready for harvesting? I was thinking if I had some heated water to the tub, the steam as it cools will help with the humidity and conditions.
How do these look? I know it isn't the crazy shrooms some of yall get, but I am proud of my little guys. What can I do to fix this in the first flush?

Congrats, I recommend setting up a shotgun fruiting chamber for your next run and you will probably get better results. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/20195542#20195542

Thank you! Do some of them look ready for harvesting?
Yeah, I’ll probs try that next! I’m trying to figure out if I’m ready for something other than cakes, but I also don’t want to end up with a ton. I have like...6 syringes though lol.

You can harvest the ones that you want, as soon as the veil breaks they are going to start dropping spores so people like to harvest when it breaks.

That makes sense. Some definitely broke so I’ll harvest and dry those now. Thank you!
