IMO you shouldn't have rolled an already pinning cake because a piece of verm on top of the pin could and probably will cause it to abort. 20 hours isn't too long but if you do it again try just dunking handling very carefully and topping it with verm to hold some extra moisture after placing in the FC if the pins aren't on the top. Just my opinion from what I have read.

Fan mist fan, if they are already pinning you don't have to worry too much about over misting unless you drench them. Two to three times a day, light mist into the air over cakes until the exposed myc looks like it has tiny dew drops on it, then fan for 30 seconds to a few minutes till most of the moisture is gone, I read in a RR post that all moisture should be gone withing 30 minutes of misting but I am not sure if that was for initiating pinning or always?
I know that when trying to get cakes to pin you don't want to over mist and keep them wet, but that is as far as I have gotten, I need to go read up on how much to mist pins myself, I know the times per day but haven't gotten the specific if you can drench a pin yet. I have been just misting lightly two or three times a day to be safe. Forum searching sucks and usually what you find is way outdated.

okay that helps a little thanks for taking the time to help out
my friend has been fanning misting and fanning again, in addition to spraying the walls and lid of her SG. things should be moving along pretty well, I will post pics up as soon as she gets her first flush, should be a week or two im suspecting.

Nm i just read it in your first post about consolidation, you probably should have left them in the jar a few more days. Keep fanning and mist lightly a few times a day and they will pin. Mist from a foot or two away and don't get them too wet, and fan the heck out of em.

Thanks 3n1gm4, you've been quite helpful
guess its just a waiting game. i've gotta learn to be more patient..

I have a cake that had a couple of pins on it when I dunked and rolled, they were pressed against the cake because of the glass but now they're growing out just like normal mushrooms.  I've heard it's likely that they'll abort but mine seem to be doing fine so far.  I dunked for a full 24 hours and I didn't wait until a week for all of them.  I birth them when they start to pin (sometimes within a couple days of 100% colonization) and I usually have cakes pin within three or four days of putting them in the FC (unless I'm growing PE... They take like ten days for some reason, such a weird strain).  Sounds like they're doing fine though.  Good luck with the grow

i have PE strain from sporeworks that i was plannaing to do a rye grain casing with, ive heard it was a pretty strange strain but a super potent
and i had one decent looking pin on one of the cakes while it was still in the jar and it survived a 20 hour dunk and i proceeded to roll it, and now its growing just fine, i was nervous as well because ive heard that they will rott out and they needed to be picked but i was like fuck that lol its my only pinn ill leave it be

If they don't pin within a few weeks just re dunk them(but they will)

i sure hope so they were dunked for 20 hours hopefully they pin soon. i hear creepers are slow colonizers as well as mazatapecs but the wait is worth it i suspect.
