Is this knotting / pins forming?

Hey all,
So just want to do a check in / up with my progress. I am not sure whether this is knotting / the beginning of pins forming or whether it is due to a lack of fanning or perhaps a lack of FEA (doubt it, my SGFC is built to spec and pretty well IMO).
I MAY have been misting a bit too much, not 100% sure really.

Thanks
EDIT: I JUST did a very light misting before taking this picture. Prior to that I misted around 9 hours ago. A heavier misting.

Did this consolidate for 7-10 days after colonizing?

how much are you fanning? how long have the been in fruiting conditions?
looks like pins should be coming at anytime? imo (im new) looks like the myc is just taking over the verm layer. maybe a little more FAE?

No, there might look like some knots on the bottom but so far no obvious knots. You'll know when it shows trust me I just passed that period ) Follow my log I'm growing B+ too http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/20854810

I let the jar consolidate for at least a week.
Fanning I am doing around 4 times a day, give or take. Been at work or out most of the day. It's quite warm in my room during the day 28C hitting 30C sometimes.
I put them into fruiting on Friday night, rolled them Friday night. Only got a light on Sunday, used natural light until then.

DAMN! That is quite a while. Oh well, I guess I will give up on my hopes of having some fresh mushies ready for the 31st? Was really eager to try these then.
I will be home the next few days so I will be able to give them more attention, how much misting is actually required? I live inland and it is quite dry here and has been very hot the past few days. I will try and fan every 2 hours or so.

I think this grow is coming along great, but personally I wouldnt expect to get fruits by the new year. Maybe if you saw knots already- but so far I see none.
Looks good though.
-------------------- An old man and his grandson are sitting by the fire outside the tepee, wrapped in furs and gazing into the leaping flames. High on a snowy ridge, a wolf howls at the moon and another answers from far away. Soon after, the old man removes the pipe from his mouth. ‘Grandson,’ he says. ‘There are two wolves inside you. One is white and the other is black.’ ‘What are they doing there, Grandfather?’ asks the wide-eyed boy. ‘They are fighting each other,’ says the old man. The boy considers this, then asks, ‘Why are they white and black?’ ‘The white one is your love, your peace and your truth. The black one is your fear, your anger and your lies.’ The fire crackles and sparks flare in the night. The wolf on the ridge howls again and the old man puffs contentedly on his pipe. Finally, the boy says, ‘Which one will win, Grandfather?’ ‘Ah,’ says the old man, removing the pipe once more. ‘The one that wins is the one that you feed.’

I did dunk for 24 hours and then I rolled them on Friday night and put them into the SGFC which is built pretty friggen well IMO. 6.5mm holes every 5cm I think it worked out to and in a very neat grid!
I have seen quite a few members just throw something together and they managed to get their cake to fruit and the holes were all over the place. I actually used a ruler to mark it where all the holes are meant to go before I drilled 
Yeah, once I see some pins I think I will be more relaxed. Generally once you see pins you are in the clear. ^^

Looks good man. If you birthed Friday you shouldn't expect to see pins by now, 4 days later. Keep doing what you're doing and they will most likely pin within a few days.

Sorry but you'll prolly miss the 31st. I missed my birthday on 12-12 too :< but this Christmas I ain't gonna!
I fan and mist 3 times a day. I peek a lot so maybe fanning can be more than that, 5-6 times maybe. I have a humidifier pumping moist air into my SGFC too. I put a bowl of boiling water under the SGFC to keep temp and humidity high. The trick works wonderfully It's winter here and it's dry af!

Damn now that I just blazed and retrospecting I think it got some fruiting time genetic or some shit really. Like the Dolly sheep they cloned, it died the same day the original one died. Like that.
I fruited 2 cakes. I left both in SGFC for almost a week, then I cased one with coir. 2 days later I crumbled one and spawned 50:50 to coir in a tray. They both fruited at the same time! Despite that the crumbled one had to take time to recover and colonize right? Fruiting with same vigor at same speed too.
Or maybe they have telepathic connection, dunno lol.
