ive recently started about 6 six half pint jars.... 3 of which are almost colonised and the other 3 have only just been inoculated.. anyway... i put one of the colonised cakes in the fc the other day.... ive waited about three days and no signs of pinning... i have soaked the perlite so the humidity shud be about right although my fucking hygrometer isnt working so i cant tell for sure.. i took it out today as it looked a bit fry and have dunked it... am gona place back in terrarium either after 12 hours or 24 hours of saturation... i have been fanning twice a day.. in the morning and in the evening as cannot really fan much more than that at the minute... i have about 100 holes in my fc... is this enough fresh air exchange or not... thanks for the help guys... ohh yeh n how long shud pinning take after its been birthed... take it easy.. many thankx.. shroomhead07

dunk it for 24 hours put it in your FC and fan a few times a day. if you have 100 holes in your FC u should be fine. make sure the humidity stays up, misting may be required.
Just F/U the grow and wait a week, you should see pins by then. If not, wait another week.
all in all... be patient!

Aye, with 100 holes you should be fine for fresh air and if they are any larger than 5/16" you may be losing some of your humidity. If you have 19 bucks, RadioShack sells a nice electronic hygrometer/thermometer that is very accurate so you can tell where you're at with your humidity.
I'd wait atleast 7 days before gettin worried and then still wait another 4 or so before thinking something is really wrong. Just make sure your temps are in the low-mid 70s and that you give em a 12on 12 off light cycle and you should see pins soon with your current set up.
Cheers!

Wait. You said "almost colonized"? You should not birth until a few days after full colonization. That little bit not colonized is just begging for contaminants.

do not birth the jar until you see primordia form. see PF Tek for pics of what to wait for. if you birthed the jar early it may take at least 2 weeks to see any pins

you have mare than enough air exchange. Are you directly misting your cakes???
