Growing mushrooms in Martha Tent - full story in the description #3

I'm having problems getting my PCs to fruit. Blue oysters and lions mane are okay. It's the ones in the shoeboxes that are giving me problems. There are two shoeboxes with Golden Teacher using manure substrate. Both of these have scratches because I thought I had stroma and I wanted to break the surface. This one never had a flush. I dunked both for 12 hours. Neither have flushed since then. I may have used too much MGP+ in hindsight and probably should be using just the Trich instead. All of my shoeboxes are placed in individual black plastic bags and when the surface is white, I then put them in fruiting conditions. I do have a question. Should I wait until I see pinning in the black plastic bags before I place them into fruiting? I have not been doing that. Am I not waiting long enough before trying to fruit? These are in a Martha Tent, FAE every 6 hours for 5 minutes. Light is 12 hours on/off. The temp is set to 70F and the RH is set to 90%. Thanks for any advice you can give me
