8 days no pinning should i be worried?

Hi guys, First time growing mushrooms, these are BRF cakes inoculated with P.cubensis spores and the strain is Cambodian, they have been in my SGFC for 8 days now and still no signs of pinning =( as u can see in pics the chamber sits directly under my fish tank lights set on a timer, and the lights do not give off heat so that's no the problem, i been misting at least 3 times a day and fanning at least 3 to 5 times a day (i would like to do this more but i have work commitments so sometimes it may take 8 hours till i can fan and mist but i have drilled small holes in every side of the container).
however the weather lately has been cold during the last week (around 18 to 20 Celsius).
So should i be worried that there is no pinning yet?
please see pics.

Does your shot gun have holes on all 6 side?
8 days is too soon to worry. It could pin overnight, depends on genetics and conditions. It looks like your conditions are almost right. Id raise the FC a little higher off the table and make sure you are not misting too much. Only mist when it looks dry. I really dont like the chunky Vermiculite, most of my problems come when using this stuff.

Did you give them time to consolidate before birthing?

That fruiting chamber is poorly constructed.

that may be true however the whole point of the fruiting chamber to my understanding is to hold high humidity (which mine does exactly that) and i am fanning it as often as i believe is required. however i am over misting i think, i didn't know i need to wait until it starts getting dry and then mist so i will do that from now on.

I'm not sure if there's supposed to be droplets of water on the foil, but your cakes don't look soaked.
Is that lid seran wrap?

yes it is seran wrap, and those droplets of water on the foil is because i took those pictures after i misted the chamber

The point of a SGFC is so that you get high humidity and FAE at the same time. Meaning that if you leave home for a few days it doesnt choke your growth. Much of the air intake comes from the bottom, raising up through the damp perlite, and into the chamber with high water content, hence the high humidity. You will tell how well your FC is set up later on in your grow when the mushrooms appear. For now lets see. Best of luck buddy I hope it all works for you.

You want high humidity, FAE and evaporation off of the substrate. You should have built it to spec.

stupid me it does not... let me fix that now and ill post pics.
what i did was i took the original lid for the container and just drilled holes in it, the reason i didn't use the lid in the first place i thought it would block out the light but that doesn't seem to be a problem.

Use the original lid. Mushrooms dont need light the same way plants do.

If you really want to fix your problems drill 1/4 inch holes 2 inches apart on all six sides.
What you have right now is lack luster.
Edit: I also suggest you trim your foil. You want it to be relatively the same size as the cakes.

I really like it, it's cool. How do you fan and mist since it's so close to the light?
Do you pull it down to mist/fan and show some love to your grow?

Looking good
Trim that foil down though, you want it to be as close to the size of the cake as possible .

Air passes up through the perlite which creates the humidity.
Has anyone ever had great flushes using this chunky vermiculite? On these cakes it looks a little too stuck/dug into the cake. Its supposed to be lightly rolled so that it creates the right humidity at the surface of the cake so pins can form. If its packed on this tight im not sure if that can happen. Now ive never done cakes and im just using the science I understand about the way Hyphal knots form. Maybe an expert can put me right?

So i harvested my first shroom from the cakes, as i was taking the cakes off the foil to trim the foil i noticed one of the mushrooms had no veil so i harvested it, but its pretty small (see pics), now this is my first time growing also i have never tried shrooms before, anyway my question is will this small shroom be enough for a first time to feel anything trip worthy?
(also please note that the lighter in the picture is the small size version of the BIC lighters)

LOL! Nice dude!
Oh I'm sure that's not the last green grain I'll see. I don't give a hoot.

Put in front of a fan to dry it, put it in a jar or plastic lidded box and save in the fridge till you get 2 grams dried. That should give you a decent hit for your first time. I put a deoxygenater packet in with them. You get these in packets of beef jerky, you now the ones?
1 Gram will give you a buzz, 5 grams will have you speaking with the aliens.
