You will just keep misting and fanning

Niiiiiice. Keep it up! By the way, did you wait one week after full colonization before birthing?

Indeed I did...Well, I thought I did. The jars stalled at about 95 percent, so I flipped them, then birthed them a few days later. This could explain the slow pin time. A few of the cakes are looking beautiful now, but some still have few to no pins.

More pins!


These last two look like faces... Especially that last one.


Out of the ten cakes, and the serpent, these are the only ones with noticeable/impressive (to me :]) growth.
I expect a flush with in a week.

I think that would explain your "late" pinset:
(11 days, 1 hour ago) You flipped the jars until full colonization (3 days, 1 hour ago) In this post, 8 days ago you put them in fruiting conditions. So you waited 3 days instead of a week which is why it was a bit later than expected. Glad to see some pins though 
Keep it up!
Also, from some research I have done, it seems your cakes have standing water on them which will cause rotting or sometimes abort but nothing to worry about and cause unnecessary vibes. Fan a bit more and mist the same so there is no standing water. From what I have read continuously, it is the evaporation that is the pinning trigger. No worries though, looking beautiful (:

My lack of patience got the best of me =]
I can attribute the standing water to the fact that I usually take pictures right around the time I finish misting. I mist, water builds up, but then mostly evaporates or is absorbed. Thank you for the heads up though, I would not want my cakes to rot!
Also, what thinks you on a air humidifier next to the tub? I am thinking of getting a small cool mist humidifier to get the humidity levels squared off in my room... Think it would help?

I read a lot of people saying it's ridiculous to put them in the FC but I even put one outside to give my room a humidity boost. It easily goes from 30rh to 40-50 in a day and maintains it as long as it's on. Also, RR recommends you keep the room humidity between 30-50 (go in the middle and it's 40rh) so the perlite doesn't dry out too quick nor the cakes.
tl;dr: can't hurt!

Indeed he does.
I took a measure of the RH in my room, and it was just below 30--and this is when the heater isn't running. I think the extra boost will go nicely, maybe allowing me to mist less and run a fan 24/7 in my room.

When I asked a few people about the misting and humidifier, they said mist the same amount, make sure it evaporates by fanning well but keep a humidifier in there to keep the perlite moist and not cause the rH to drop so quickly.
Honestly, I would add it on as a bonus and not change anything just to be safe but if you feel everything is fine, go with your gut brother. It's about you, not me :-)

The walls of your chamber should have visible water on it.
Try misting MORE

More pin pics!




A few of those cakes should be ready by the weekend. If you look closely at that big one, you can see a fair amount of bruising on the stem. I do not know what that is from, but I imagine it isn't much of an issue--correct me if I am wrong.
