Large pins on PF cake inside jar still ok to roll? *PICS*

Hey everybody, I am a longtime lurker and a second time grower (first time was unsucessful, but was several years ago) I have 5 - 1/4 pint jars that are %100 colonized, but after leaving to consolidate for a week the cakes began to pin inside of the jars, a few got pretty large and some are still small.
I birthed them and I currently have them dunked. I plan on rolling in dry verm tommorow. I just wanted to check and make sure they are ok to roll in dry verm with these large pins, or if I should go ahead and let the first flush go without the dry verm layer.
I know everyone likes pictures, so here are a few of the birthed cakes with pins, and a jar that I have not birthed yet for a fear of contamination, opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
EDIT - Posting higher resolution pictures

Wow, those look nice were those 1/2 pint jars? What did you do, just add dry verm around the pins?

He said they were 1/4 jars. I don't know a lot but I wouldn't put any dry verm on them. I wouldn't imagine it would hurt them if you do, but if they were mine I would just dunk them and let em shine

Naw I'd roll them suckers. One or two might abort but the rest would make up for it and more I see lots of knots on those cakes that would really appreciate a nice roll

I dunked them for 24 and then rolled them in dry verm. Waited a couple of hours and started misting.
Yeah, they were 1/2 pints, but the talls. Still worked!

Ohh okay, thanks everyone. I used the 1/4 pint jars because I could only get them or tall 1/2 pint jars and I heard the tall ones take a while longer to colonize.
I have the cakes soaking right now and they will be ready in the morning. How do you guys feel about baking the dry vermiculite before rolling to avoid contams. Is it overkill or worth it?

I did it for all my cakes and for some of my bulk trays. Do it if it makes you feel better, but I doubt it really matters.

Haha okay, well I will probably have a little bit of spare time anyway and I would hate to see a contam after getting this far lol so ill bake it just in case. How long do you usually bake it and at what temp?
Anyone else have experience with 1/4 pint jars and yeilds? I know its hard to predict, but I am getting impatient. I need to start another project after I get these cakes fruiting to keep myself occupied.
I think Pastywhyte's "Easy Agar Tek" and monotubs are gonna be my next project(s), actually just purchased some agar agar earlier today.
