First Grow. Finally got some pins. (pics) Any ideas, ect???

The cakes with no pins were birthed a few days after the other 8 and I did not put as much verm on top after the dunk and roll. The myc seems a little matted down on some cakes and there are blue spots here and there. Any ideas or suggestions?
Im still misting 1 or two times a day and fan all the time and after misting fan pretty heavy.
There are also pins that are growing under the cake through the shop wire. Should I do anything about this now? There is only about a 1/2 to an inch between the wire and the perlite. One of the pins under is already touching the perlite. Is this going to be a huge problem for the pins?
Also after I harvest what is the recommended amount of days to let dry out before re-dunking? If any, and should I not roll after the second dunk and just do the double end case with the verm?
Please give me some feed back, comments, ideas, opinions, ect! Those pins took 9 or 10 days to start, im very exited. The ones with pins are amazonian and the ones without pins are mazatapecas.
The shoe box in the other sgfc is two amazonian 1/2 pints spawned to manure which are starting to poke through the casing pretty evenly. Should I stop misting the casing?
Thanks again everyone, I could not have done any of this without all of you and RR's DVD. This place rocks!!!

Yeah the cake is directly on the screen so there already poked through the screen. If I were to put foil under them now would it cause the pins to abort or would they stay there for the next flush? Seems like the cake would crush em a little. Would they rot if that happened? Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated!

You need more verm on top of some of those cakes. This will help them start to pin. I don't dry out between flushes. The cake will do that on it's own. I dunk and roll between flushes. GL..

what?
i mist from birth to harvest.
water does not cause aborts.
standing water with a lack of FAE causes aborts.

Some of the pins on the bottom will abort on the foil, others will just lift the cake up as they grow out to one side.
Nice looking chamber & pins.

Thanks for the advice and replies everyone!!!
Yeah the ones on the right of the chamber didn't get as much verm on top. I thought I was overdoing it with the ones on the left so I chilled out with verm on the other ones. I guess I wasn't over doing it though.
When I dunk after this flush I think I'm just going to but lots of verm on the top and bottom. (DEC) Those ones on the right are blueing a little bit too.
Either way I'm glad to see some action and not totally eff up my first grow. Thanks again everyone!!!

I should clarify, a properly saturated casing doesn't need to be misted DURING pinning, you can do more harm than good. I follow Hyphae's advice on casing.

I put some moist veena under and ontop of those cakes on the right. Hopefully it helps. The hoop casing in the other sgfc is where I'm following hyphae's pinning strategy. Also, when I put that veena on the cakes I might have covered up some tiny pins. You think they will make it?

Well how much did you cover em up by?

here they are now when i got home tonight about a half hour ago.     I did the DEC earlier today on the cakes that were turning blue. Hopefully that helps a ton, there's pins here and there on a few of them. I tried to get some closeups of the pins. I tried not to put any verm on any noticeable pins. For the last pic I tried to get a shot of how some of the pins are growing under the cake and through the wire. Ive decided not to put foil under those since they're already pinning and just let them go to see what happens. Sorry the pic is so blurry, its from outside the FC. If you look hard enough you can see what I mean though. Thanks again for the replies everyone!!!

Very nice!!! As for the pins growing under the wire, Just wait until they are mature then pick like normal

Thank-you! I'm glad to hear that. Do you think it was a bad Idea to put the moist verm on and under the cakes that didn't pin right away? The ones I DEC have been in there about 7 or 8 days now, maybe 9. Those cakes were also birthed 3 or 4 days after the other ones, i just didnt put as much verm on top and the myc to over on top as well. Im just experimenting. Thanks again for the reply!!
