Pimmples on GT caps and slow growth , short fruits

  First monotub ever, used MS . First pins on 04 May 21 . All pins we very pointy and some caps have pimples that look worrying to me . Is that due to genetics or is is possible contam ? It has been growing super slow and stems seem thin with large caps that seem odd to me. I had tried cake before and GT fruits were thick and tall and these dont look to me as GT at all. It has been 6 days and they hardly grew any taller. Only caps seems to get bit bigger but they are only about an inch tall. Would appreciate any help !

Do you mean the conicle point of the cap when you refer to a pimple? That is generally a genetic trait and is found on many cubensis.
The current state of your mushrooms could be genetics, bacterial grain, conditions, etc. Many reason for smaller fruit.

Thanks for your reply. No . When I say pimples I mean those round things on the few caps only that I ciclered on on of the photos. Can you see them ? Sorry , first time posting so still working out how it all works here with attacheing photos and all. Humidity is always 90 and above, temp around 72-75 . Is there anything can be done to encourage it to grow taller?

Bring down the humidity a bit, you don't want constant 90 because evaporation will not occur correctly.
The pimples are genetic and nothing to worry about. It's difficult to indicate if you need to adjust conditions, I assume it's an ms grow?

Its kinda hard to gauge your surface conditions and how your pins look from this picture. Dont be afraid to get your camera inside your tub and take some close up pictures.
It wont negatively effect anything if you do and it would give people here a more clear view of what could be going wrong with your babies.
I'm seeing some spots that look like the myc is yellowing. Is that just a lighting issue?
I've dealt with a very similar issue recently and would love to see if I can be of use. I'm definitely gonna need a closer shot of your surface conditions and pins before I can offer my experience and advice on what may be going on and what can be done to correct it though.

Josex has made me weary of suggesting conditions but I don't see much condensation on the side walls which is often quite an indicator in my opinion.

Thank you , Thank you , Thank you , all good people, for your replies.
So , I didnt mist for last 2 days as droplets are constantly staying on the surface and i wasn’t giving it time to evaporate i think... I assume, due to that, I had yellow myc metabolites on the surface, still slightly visable . Today surface looks bit dry around the edges but still plenty of droplets around the mid section. Noticed, few "bigger" fruit caps started wrinkling around the edges. There is condensation on the lid and a bit on the sides of the tub. I had attached further photos , hope surface conditions can be seen better. I did use multi spore to grain and then coir and verm mix.

I'm no expert but looks like you have too much CO2 buildup they need more fresh air. And what in the world kind of tape are you using on them holes playah?

I have 10 large holes with micropore tape . Would have thought that would provide enough air exchange

Curious what makes you suggest that? I see no signs of excess CO2 from apperance of the fruits/substrate 
@ MagicB - Did you check FC on your coir as you were spawning it? Small fruits with dark caps *can* indicate excess moisture in the substrate (or sometimes just wonky genetics). I wouldn't mist it anymore until the surface conditions tell you that it needs more moisture added.

I really dont think there is excess moisture as in last few days it all shrank a bit (since I stoped misting) and I can see now there are gaps between tub and sub. Also yellow metabolites almost gone as well now. But yes , I did check that coir and verm mix is not too wet as advised by many, squeezed hard for only few drops to come out …
This morning I saw some caps we almost completely flat , sure to find spores everywhere in a tub once I get home They so freaking short , cant see if veils were there at all or not .. Should I try and harvest those with open caps ? Should I wait for the other ones to grow a bit before I do it ?

Harvest the open caps for now and leave the rest to grow.
