Hello, everyone! I'm having a slight delay with the pins on my cubensis(gt), and I'm a bit concerned. The process started, but the pins still haven't appeared on day 7. 24-26°C. humidity 95-97. often FAE

Hello! Usually it takes 10-15 days for pinning, so let's give it another week ;-)
If possible try to keep temp. a lil bit lower, ~21-24C. Mist the walls of the tub once in 2-3 days in order to reduce excessive evaporation from the cake. But don't mist water on the cake directly! FAE 2-4 times/day is enough.
What is the content of this cake? Is it BRF? Or what type of grain?
Let me know if zero pins within the next week and I'll guide you what to do next
Good luck 🤞

Thank you for the detailed reply. I'll follow your advice mist walls less often, keep FAE 3-4 times a day. My cake is white rice flour + verm. I wait another week and let you know if nothing happens. Thanks again

You're welcome! Keep me updated.
If nothing happens, prepare a plastic box (volume ~1-2 L/Qt is fine) and some dry coco coir (or coco brick). Alternatively, we can use a potting soil (for example, for tomatoes), but check the pH on the pack, it should be around pH 6.8-7.2.
By the way, your cake cracked because you were trying to take it out of the jar, right? It's not a problem, just wondering :-)
