Months of Headaches - FirstGrow- PF Tek + Hpoo Monotubs

Today is a great day! After months of contamination or error 2 of my 8 BRF cakes fully colonized, but would not pin. So i figured they were garbage but for some reason something in my head said get some horse poo (now i live on a farm so easy to find all straw fed) Pasteurize it, and crumble up these cakes and throw em in there. Needless to say 5 days later the horse poo monotub was covered in healthy mycelium!!. I then took a layer of verm soaked it and put a thin layer on top - Then introduced it to my SGFC w/ 6500k Bulb. 7 Days later (Today) I've about 10 pins coming out today. I am misting 3 times / day fanning 2 times - temp 78-83
I have learnt so much in this process and figured it wouldn't work out. But the horse poo was like crack for the mycelium; it was truly amazing.
Any suggestions on what to do forward from here - Can i take a cap and spread it over pasteurized poo or would it be more beneficial to make syringes.
Thanks so much everyone on this site who has helped me through learning the art of producing fungi-

Sounds like something went wrong, what kind of fruiting chamber/environment we're you using?
If you aren't seeing pins, or your pins are splitting(like shown above) it is normally a FaE issue from personal experience, I have never worked with Hpoo though.

It can take anywhere from a few days to 2 weeks for cakes to pin.
Did you let them consolidate? If not, even longer then.
Also, I don't see any holes in your mono. Hole placement is important for both FAE and to allow co2 to run off.
If you are needing to mist you should fan after every mist to promote evaporation which in turn promotes pinning....
