Im no expert but from the things I know I would say its possible the temperature is too high right? I mean youve got the light.. youve got the humidity and thats great but the lower temperature is important to the myc because it tells em hey dudes its time to fruit.. usually its supposed to be about 10 degrees cooler maybe 72 for you.. Its possible that GT requires this drastic drop in temperature while the B+ do not and they dont give a shit they just wanna fruit fruit fruit.. so try it out.. try putting your GT cakes in an inside terrarium.. I mean your house is probably 75? or maybe its not too late to dunk them in some cold water and put em back in the greenhouse.. lets see what others have to say. Later

yeah the temp sucks right now. 103-110 are every day temps. i run at AC but dose not get that low. i just aimed a fan in the closet. to help cool it down. i also have a water heater about 1-2 feet away from the green house. has any one put frozen water botles in there FC to cool it?

I saw a post where somebody was putting water bottles into their Incubation or FC, I'm unsure. Either way he or she had a device that could apparently maintain temperatures pretty well, but was very bad at reaching the temperature itself. Probably a low CFM device being used to maintain temp, either way he probably just roatated them out till his goal temp was reached and the removed them.
It would probably be a pain to keep rotating frozen waterbottles in and out. Not to mention keep a certain temperature with just water bottles, however insulation might help in this matter.

They look like they're still colonizing... are you sure you birthed them at 100%? If you're absolutely positive, then try increasing humidity, increasing fresh air exchange, the temperature isn't too critical, cubensis are a TROPICAL mushroom, and in nature will fruit in the 80's-90's.
You might want to wait to catch the eye of a veteran, but I've only gotten that on cakes twice... Once was from birthing too soon (and the cake continued to overcolonize) and once was from not initiating pinning correctly (ie, it was in nearly the same conditions as incubation). On the second one, all I did was drill more holes in the fruiting chamber and started fanning more often.

if you cant change the temps then i suggest you stick with the b+, they can fruit in the not ideal conditions, other strains of cubbies are more particular

Frozen bttles work great for cooling down my FC... I use the larger Gaterade bottles(forget which size that is).

64 oz is the largest gatorade bottle, 32 is the large personal sized one
