WHY MUST THEY NOT PIN!

My mycobags STILL refuse to pin after I cold shocked and dunked them. It's going on six(6) weeks now! I need some honest help here. Should I case them? How can I be assured they will pin if I case them? I fan them like 4x a day and mist them. I even tried to coax them into pinning verbally, should have known that wouldn't work.
I dont think birthing them and letting them fruit PF style would help because it's basically the same as what I'm doing now. HELP HELP HELP!
If someone helps and leads me to sucess I'll send them some shrooms! lol

whats your hummidification? it should be around 95-100, if it isnt, pins will not form. also whats the temp? it should be around 75, dosnt really need anything higher than that. last, how much light do u give it each day? you should give it about 1-3hours a day. how do u fan ur mycobag?

How long have they been fully colonized? I would be worried if they have been colonized for 6 weeks and have not pinned. If it has only been a week or two since they became colonized, I would wait a little bit longer.

I don't know the exact humidity, but I mist it quite a bit, and there's condensation on the sides of the bag, so I think it's pretty high. The temp is at 70-71. It get's about 8 hours of light a day. I opened the bags to fan then and such because I figured there was too much CO2
Oh yeah, Im worried, they've been fully colonized for six weeks. I coldshocked them 2 weeks ago and dunked them a little over a week ago.

I once had a casing that took 2 months to form any pins. I was just about to toss it when it bloomed into a fantastic flush. I really don't know what to say about your bag though, it could be 1 of 100 reasons it's not pinning. ajg2425 said to get you RH up to 95-100, but I found when I keep my RH around 90 things work out fantastic. But then again, what works for one grower often doesn't work for other growers.
There was another situatation I had where I had a cake that wouldn't pin for weeks. It was in a poormans terrerium. I always had really good results using a poormans terrerium with a cake and just couldn't figure it out. Anyhow one day the top of the two liter bottle fell in and half exposed the cake to the open air, I gave up on the cake so I didn't check it for over a week, but when I came back to toss it, it was loaded with a big bulkly flush. That really confused me. Still can't figure that one out. The temp was around 70 and the RH had to below 60%.
I hope you see pins soon, it would be a shame to toss a whole bag! Let us know the outcome.
