Small fat slow growing pins?

Hey, one of my cakes has like 4 pins on it, I read that they are supposed to mature fast, but they grow kinda slow, like they have been half an inch long for about 2 and a half days, I realize a difference everyday though so I know they are getting a little bigger, they are really fat though lol, is everything okay?

With out a Pict and detailed description of your conditions I would say as long as they are growing you should be good. You are lacking somewhere probably but the experience to know where & why will come with time or a Pict & description.

they might be ready to just blow up.. i had a strain a while back (some B+ ms noc ups), and all the trays looked almost stalled, then overnight they just finished.. like, bam! done.. let them do their thing..
just curious.. what are the conditions like in your FC? RH, temps, amount/method of FAE?

Fan like 4-5 times a day with misting, not sure the RH but I have 5 inches of soaked perlite in a SGFC, with a 6500k Kelvin bulb 12 on 12 off

It's your temps that i can see from reading.
Lower temps will cause your fruits to grow a bit slower, become more dense & fat. First flush of PE6 @ low temps (around 66-68)

Second Flush of PE6 @ 72-76

That's pretty early on, about 2 days after pins. They were ready to harvest 5 days after the dunk...

ah there we go.
your problem is fresh air exchange.
take that tub you got.
drill 1/4" holes 2" apart on ALL SIX SIDES.
add 5" of dampened perlite.
elevate FC a few inches off the ground to allow air to flow into the holes on the bottom.
your light placement is perfect if it is a 6500k color temperature bulb.
do that and watch your fruit size increase drastically :]

I don't know how adequate FAE is being supplied (in fact, I'm not saying it is), but in my experience, a lack of FAE will produce fruits with poor, wispy-thin stipes.
/shrug. Some strains just bide their time. I had a cluster of GT on my last bulk grow that pinned like D-sized battery chodes. They were slow, but dried out to 6-7 grams per fruit. Just wait, as long as your necessities are being supplied, beit through temperature differentials (SGFC), or manual labor, you'll see progress. Good luck!
edit: spelling

Haha I swear, there's not more because the plastic isn't strong enough for the drill bit, and kept breaking, so only put like 6

Go to your hardware store, and pick up a saudering pen for like $16, if you can afford it. One of the bit pieces is exactly 1/4", and when it's fully heated, you can punch holes through tubs like Darth Vader's pecker during a snowstorm. The fumes can make you light-headed, so crack a door and turn on a fan! No cracking, and to me it's easier than drilling.
Oh, just watch out for the molten plastic wisps. Not fun.

do what i told you.
1/4" holes 2" apart on all six sides.
5" of dampened perlite
elevated so air can flow in the bottom.
