over 2 weeks in Fc, half of cakes not pinned, time to redunk? pics

Hello,
I am 14 days into fruiting. At about day 7 I tossed my midwest kit and built a sgfc thanks to the advice of folks here. So I am expecting a better second flush...
I started to notice pins on Sat, three days ago. But for now about half my cakes are not pinning, the other have anywhere from 1-8 pins and it seems like the ones with pins are still producing. Also, I was out of town pretty much since pinning started, so wasn't able to mist and fan, but now I am back on it....
My question is, should I redunk the cakes w no pins since its been 14 days or wait it out? Thanks.

Don't redunk them,
They just need more time. Show me your set up, pics of your SGFC, where it's located, what it's sitting on, etc.

Take it out of that closet and put it out in the open. It needs 6" away from any wall, 12" is optimal.You need 5" of perlite in there, you have what looks like... 2"-3"?
SGFCs work off the natural air currents in a room so you're blocking ventilation which reduces Fresh Air Exchange (or FAE) and turns your terrarium into a box with perlite in it that you went drill crazy on.

ya, the new tub i got was a bit bigger so perlite got a little shallower.
Ill try to find another spot for it... Was just trying to keep it stealth.
Ive been kept the door on the closet open though 90% of the time. Ill try to find some more perlite for it though, humidity is still at 99% though..

Hygrometer is wrong 99% of the time,
That's why we don't recommend them. It's not about having a constant 99% humidity, it's about the air coming in and out. This will cause varying levels of humidity through out the day which cubensis like. The fluctuations feel like nature, which is what we're trying to imitate in our SGFC. That's why we don't use PMPs anymore.
If your hygrometer is right and the humidity is at a constant 99% then evaporation can't take place which the cakes need to pin.
If you add perlite up to 5" you will see better results.

Are you misting whenever there isn't visible moisture on your cakes? That's pretty key, espcially with neglected substrates.

Yes, you can, but do it from a distance.
