Anyone have ideas on how to start pinning a cake that just won't pin? 3 weeks since FC #2

Shroomok: How many days since FC? : Like 3 weeks. And the cake is full on mycelium. I put in fc when it was only a little on top bout 20% Shroomok: 20% of colonisation is too early for FC, wait for ~70-80%. On the 1st pic you have aborted shrooms. Also seems like not enough humidity in both tubs. At the same time you have some good pins 🙂 : 99 % humidity.. just not good ventilation Shroomok: I don't see small water drops on the walls of the tub and bald area looks dry to me (wet soil usually is darker, maybe just light). Fresh air is the main trigger for pinning and normal fruiting btw
