1. Your temperature is too high but they should fruit still.
2. How many inches of perlite do you have?
3. Give it air exchange

Shoot for 4-5 inches of well drained perlite. your rH will sky rocket and be able to maintain humidity for a month or more. Depending on how much air exchange you provide. IME don't drill that many holes. Drill as much as in this picture here



Wait and see if your humidity declines from 100%. If it does. Simply tape half of the holes so it provides humidity and air exchange.

The cakes look mostly fine, but for the next time you should really considering a dunk an roll before putting them in the FC!

No, you don't.
Just dunk over night, let them rinse a little, then roll in verm and mist them good.

FAE is esssetial and should be done a few times a day (5 to 6 times).
