no you want your room to be drier. the process of evaporation will induce pins.

Holy shit, is that common I guess I just kept seeing people talk about how pins pop up in 5-7 days and I was just freaking out.
I guess I just need to be patient.

The fact that the small pins that were on my cake have been growing larger and larger and are on their way to mushrooms over the past few days should mean that my humidity is ok right?
I still dont have any pins but I am going to give them a 12hr dunk Tuesday if no pins form. Do you guys think that is a good idea? I am also going to get some finer verm for the cakes.
Also my temp in the chamber is from 66-68 is that too low?

If you use a humidifier instead of the perlite stuff it works much better. Just buy one from walgreens or somewhere that doesn't use a filter, run a tube from The top of the humidifier the your fruiting chamber poke lots of holes in your Fruiting chamber and only one hole in the bottom for a drain. Run it 24/7, the chamber will Be completely full of smoke/ humidity. Fan about once or twice a day. Wouldn't hurt to Put a small fan blowing of your chamber as well. But take out the perlite if you use this method. this has always worked great for me and cakes have always yielded 10-15 grams one the first flush. Would be a good idea to dunk (about 4-6 hours) and roll cakes again before hand. Try this on the next cakes that you put in your chamber. Hope this helps, good luck.

you're so wrong. that's not appropriate for a mono-shotgun. you have a fan running and a humidifier running, they basically cancel each other out. the same thing can be obtained by misting once a day. save yourself the trouble of humidifier mess and expenses

get a sling psychrometer. then u will never have any worries if your hygrometers arent working.. get rid of em! they have really nice ones out nowadays. little plastic instrument. will tell u your WB (wet bulb), DB (dry bulb), and your RH (relative humidity)

I will post some pictures of how that one has been growing tomorrow, I am going to be out all day and night and the light is off right now.
This is probably a good time to ask, are mushrooms like Marijuana where they become stressed if their light schedule is interrupted. Marijuana doesn't like any light when the lights are off, I sometimes have to open the door in the room they are in and some light leaks in for a few seconds at most.

So does like leakage during their dark period have a very negative effect. We are talking like three seconds here at most.

haha its becoming a common trend on this thread 
he's asking about the affect of light mushrooms breathe just us monkeys... so the introduction of oxygen is a must. It's a pretty simple idea.
the OP was confused on the affect of light on mushrooms. they are unable to carry out photosynthesis but create cellulose = fungi kingdom

I also recall RR saying that fungi draw energy from light, not grow towards it. So the more light the better to a certain extent in the right spectrum. The biggest pinning triggers are FAE, light, and evaporation.
Other than that they just need humidity, moisture, and fresh air for growing big right? Light isn't that important after they pin, that is just my understanding, am I right. I know that light is beneficial at all stages but I have also seen some good pics of ones grown in little to no light situations after the pinset forms with nice results.(after all they do most of their growing at night when I shut the light off)
