Slow growing

hi, i started fruiting a couple weeks ago after what i thought was a beautiful colonization. Since then there has only a few pins, some grew along the edges of the tub( not side pinning, but the edge of the cake by the liner i used) but a dozen or so pins seemed to have failed.

Ive noticed the cake is kind of dry while there is a slight build up of water underneath the liner i used from misting the walls of the tub.

Can you advise me to how i can revive this grow?

I have another All-in-one grow bag that i have innoculated but also seems to have lost all its growth after i shook up the grain and substrate.

Can i soak the cake like begining a second flush? Or would breaking it up and mixing it with the 2nd bag into 2 boxes an option?

I am still quite inexperienced with growing.

Golden Teacher strain btw

Thanks

Hi, could you please add a few photos of your cake (a full top view, some shots from the sides) and your monotub + its air holes?

Use "Add Images" button and type a few words for posting

This would soooo helpful in figuring out what's going on. Because sometimes newbie growers describe completely different issue from what they actually have...

Anyway, mixing the 2 bags together is not a solution! Based on your description, soaking the cake in water may be a good option, but let me check the cake first and I'll guide you on what to do next

I am using the filter patches that came with the tubs. Would using micropore tape be better?

The cake cracked on me as i lifted the liner and noticed the build up of water underneath. I also picked the few mushrooms that did grow as well as the duds.
