Mycobags - Pinning Questions !

My friend has four myco bags which are all 90-100% colonized. Strain=EQ Theyve been getting light about 10 hours a day for about 4 weeks, yet they refuse to pin. The temp is about 70 degrees. How can I get these lil bastards to pin? I tried cold shocking them, but was only able to get them in the fridge for maybe 6 hours due to restrictions. If you can help me, ill be your best friend! (if its any consolation)

It's kind of off-topic, but I have a few q's for you:
How long did colonization take?
What was your colo. temp?

I know all about the search feature. It's just that the guy has 1 post, so I kind of figured he couldn't have any logs or anything. Try to get the info right from the horse's mouth.

My brother-cousin's EQs took forever to start pinning. About four weeks or so...

Thanks for the info guys, I kinda figured I needed to cold shock for longer. Colonization was slow but sure. I innoculated around september 20th. Imagine that! It took around 2 monthes too fully colonize, I broke up and redistributed the mycelium many times, maybe around 3 or 4. I innoculated into the center of the bag, even though many said it wouldnt grow that way. It took maybe 20 days or so for signs of growth but after that they seemed to have taken off. The slow growth was surely caused by the low temps, around 68-70 degrees.
Another question, Do you think dunking would help? The cake seems very well hydrated and it is very moist in there, but I've heard this may help pinning.
background info: I have been interested in mushrooms for soooo long, I was interested in them even before I considered smoking pot. I'm preppy(yes dont flame me, but im a cool preppy~!) so it was hard to get a hold of any drugs, much less mushrooms which are hard to come by. Ive been interested in mushrooms for about 5 years, and have been reading this website at least every other day. I was finally able to trip around 2 monthes ago and even though it was probably only a level 1, it was still wonderful. I plan on using these mushrooms personally, and give them for free to my close friends, I'm not planning on dealing and making any money.
If you read all that..Cool. if not...meh oh well.
