To be quite honest I have only seen this with secondary decomposers(wood lovers) I have yet to see it with primary decomposers(dung lovers)
Thanks for your input! I'll keep you all updated. Cross my fingers for some fruits soon to put my mind at ease.

*update* 16 days after birthing
Lots of fuzzy mycelium growing and forming little balls. I can also see a little blue bruising but it looks far worse in these pictures than IRL. Still no pins though. Is this still looking good?

Good to hear! Any idea why these might be going so slow?

Because it's your first grow  No really if you bring the temp up to 75F you'll see faster results Even faster at 80F but contamination loves 80F+

Cooler temps do yeild slower growth but less chances of contams. And thickers fruits. Just bear with it. Multispore grows can take weeks to fruit. Its all about geneotics.

What exactly is multispore? Like from a syringe ordered online?
Also I realized the temp has been averaging at about 69F so I suppose that could be why they are fruiting so slow. Honestly I didn't think it was going to take nearly three weeks though.
Is there any possibility that the cakes are dried out and I may need to redunk these? They haven't really showed any significant change in the past few days and it might also be worth mentioning that the cakes took quite a while to fully colonize.
In fact, I JUST birthed my 5th jar today.(that's 7 or so weeks after I knocked them up) It didn't show any signs of growth until about 2 weeks after inoculation. I thought it was just a dud, but surprisingly it ended up fully colonizing.

If they look dry and feel light when picked up. Then they may just need another dunk & roll, but if you've been misting & fanning, my guess is the temperature is a little low Try and not be too "hands on" with your cakes, unless you feel it's absolutely necessary

Multispore means a lot of genetic diversity is present. Yes, syringes are multispore.

That's what I figured. Thanks for the clarification.

I would say that they do look little a tad bit dry, but as for the weight it is hard for me to have anything to compare it to considering this is my first grow. One of them seems to be significantly lighter than the rest and it also is the one that appears to be the most dry.
Do I run any risk from dunking again? Do you think I should just wait a few more days and see? Sorry for all the questions, I'm sure a lot of these are pretty self explanatory. Hopefully you all can relate to anxiety of your first grow. I just want to see my babies thrive!

Take the terrarium out of the closet and give the cakes some light. If you have a ~6000K compact fluorescent bulb, use that on a 12 on/12 off light schedule if you can.
Those "knots" or whatever you call it - is that the fuzzy white bumpy stuff? Mine looks like that right now and I am getting some pinning. Been only 2 days in fruiting chamber.

And that's a good thing, right? Haha... have been lurking for a while and never seen mention of it!

Be patient is usually the best advice  Re-dunking is relatively a low risk maneuver. Hopefully you will be doing it several times on these cakes between flushes. Remember to re-roll in verm after every dunk too Raise the temp 5 degrees and watch it blow up IMO

Glad to hear you are having success! Mine are covered with them but still no pins. I'm using a 6500k compact fluorescent bulb on a 12/12 schedule so I don't think that is an issue.
Unfortunately I'm not quite sure how to raise the temp in my closet right now. I don't really have the money for a space heater and I feel like it might be overkill for 5 degrees.
Has anyone ever tried using the regular 60w bulbs to try to raise the temperature in a small area? I know they put off quite a bit of heat and I was thinking maybe if I could rig some in the bottom of my closet I could bring the temp up a little. Obviously I'd have to find a way so that the light from them doesn't reach my FC. Just an idea.

Haha I know it seems simple enough. I tried the other day but for some reason it didn't seem to affect my closet. I just realized a couple hours ago that the vent near the closest was closed. Aha. Temp is now around 73F. Hope it will make a difference.

Just a quick update
Cakes finally showing a few pins the other day! Got some real thick ones growing out of the bottom of one of my cakes. Pics coming soon. Thanks everyone for the help!
