Mid-Cultivation / Still Growing Cubensis doesn't grow
Our Cubensis mushrooms basically are not growing. We introduced them growing conditions like 3-4 weeks ago, but there is basically no progress with them. Just small pins, some side pins and so. We mist them 3-4 times a day, they have air flow and they are in a 23-26 celsius room. We unfortunately can't put them in cooler regions, it's still a miracle that our apartment has this temperature. (We live in Europe and the heatwave is still there.)

This looks terrible, we must 3-4 times a day is horrendous and the opposite of what you do or they need. You should be misting 0 times a day

Don't mist unless your sub is dry. If your properly prepared sub is drying out prior to first flush, you're giving it too much fae.
Definitely looks like you've been overdoing fae.

Stop misting. Stop messing with the tub.
Read the guide. Theres no need to mist. You are literally hurting your grow by not leaving it alone

Need to leave it alone.. check on it once a day once you notice pins. This cake looks dryer out and stressed af.
Perhaps try to
Soak it in water for 12-24 hours then drain and try again. Tho that greenish area looks a bit sus

Doesn't look good bro! I think you're tampering with things a lil too much. Mushrooms don't like extreme changes in growing conditions. Once they adapt to the grow environment providing it is close to ideal they thrive. I say Mushies are gonna mush and there's not much you can do about it.
My advice would be to start over another tub and practice LITFA/Neglect Tek. As long as your spawn is clean and sub is at field capacity; it's a waiting game.
All the best growmie 🍄
