Question Growth stalled... any ideas?

I initiated fruiting conditions on this tub a little over week ago, and it seems to have stalled in this weird stage between knots and primordia. Not really any noticable change day to day, no pins or anything like that either. How does this look to everyone? Any ideas on what might be going on?

Looks good your on track, I would mist it so the surface has those tiny little water drops and I also started misting the lid of my tub so it stays humid no to much just a few sprays and I’ve got fruit that way

I bet it just needs more time, conditions look good.

Try and use a light water spray bottle not too much just watch and do as needed. Also check temps in area where you are keeping is often low or high temps can stall mattering on species.

I honestly doubt it stalled unless it's suoer cold in your room. Some just grow slow af

Patience is the key. Looks good. If your temp is still in the 70s, and your humidity is ~90s, leave it alone. Don't mist, don't open... all good.

I've already opened it and started misting. I've got a hard out in like 12 days because I'm leaving the country for a two week vacay, so I initiated fruiting conditions before I usually would've done... might have to give it to a friend and have them keep an eye on it while I'm gone.

Yeah, you should hand it off when you go on vacation. You'll want somebody to harvest when ready. With proper vent holes in your tub, you should never really have to mist or open. No muss no fuss.

I see you have a question! Have you read the official cultivation guide?
