Just figured I would post an update! Everything is going very well so far, flush two was just completed and the cakes are all blank again and I am awaiting flush 3. One cake in particular had some spores drop onto it and it seems to be struggling a little, it doesnt look like its pinning at all but the spores only hit an area of the cake taking up no more than Id say 3-5% of the surface area of it.

Temps, humidity and FAE are all good. I wonder why the spore'd cake is not pinning any more. Do spores do something to the cakes?
