• Probably failed grow?

  This is kinda my first grow? I bought all-in-one bags just before that - one bag fruited prematurely, but I managed to collect something out of it. Second bag I accidentally cut, released too much moisture and it spend 2 months doing nothing, then tried to fruit, then got moldy and slimy, so I threw it away. I bought pre-made jars of coir and grain, pasteurized and at field capacity. I used a glovebox, sterilized everything very thoroughly with ethanol and flames, inoculated myself. Grain colonized in week or so, and jars looked amazing. 8 out of 8 grain jars very white and pristine. I washed the chambers, mixed the coir and grain 1:1 (2 jars coir, 2 jars grain). I put the chambers inside big trash double bags (AI told me it will help to prevent light, collect co2 and increase temps), and tied the ends with rubbers. I checked on day 3 and 6, and then removed the bags on day 8. The temperatures were too high - thermoteters showed anywhere from 25c to 27c, I overdid it with the heating pads, I should've just used room temp (21-22c in my room). I did not use any additional spray or humidifier at all, according to hydrometer - it was 92-98%% humidity. There was a lot of moisture on top of the mycelium, huge puddles and droplets, so I decided (AI and reddit told me) to ventilate them. I spent 5 days using fans and opening the door, so they ended up looking bruised, yellowing, dry. I decided to fork them, the layer below the mycelium looked brown and very dry, then I covered it with bubble wrap. It has been less than 2 days. I checked them today - nothing has changed, coir appeared a bit dry, but not brown anymore - just gray/black. I misted the edges around the bubble wrap. I also put blue led lamps, and vented them 3 times for a few minutes during the day. There are two more chambers, which I just put into fruiting, and trying to avoid the same mistakes. I removed bags earlier, venting them, not misting them because they appear very moist, and they share the same blue led lamps. I've included the photos, in case I am making a mistake there as well. Right now all 4 chambers are at 21-22c, just room temperature, and 90-98%% humidity.
