When does a pin technically become a pins? Ive had knots upon knots for weeks.. and in the last few days they have turned into perectly round balls about 1/16th of an inch in diameter, but the tops of the balls have turned tannish red.. are these now pins or primordia or still knots?
Not that its really relevant but the strain is F+ and its caused me much more grief than any other "strain" ive worked with in the past.. half pound brf cake-blocks have been in my sgfc for 25 days now.. thats about 2.5 weeks longer than any cakes or bags ive done in the past

Its on cakes and i attribute part of the time span to not having a properly built sgfc.. i had made a fc with about 8 1/8" wholes on each side except top and bottom.. i made em this small bc i was worried about dust from the room getting in, but notahacker told me to make em 1/4" in a grid pattern on all sides and that dust etc wasnt gonna be a problem due to the fact the fully colonized block cakes were contam resistant..fixed it about a week ago and have noticed things increasing.. was just curious if these large white balls with tan on the tops are considered actual pins or if they are still technically knots

Just upload them to the "Pics" section towards the top left of the page, and then copy the link underneath each uploaded picture, paste in your post. Did you give the cakes an extra week or so after complete colonization to let them fully consolidate?

If you haven't been misting, then they are probably drying out.

I say a pin is when the knot start to have a distinct difference between the stem and what will become the cap.
