Okay, so I've been digging and digging in the forums trying different stuff, but the cakes I put in my sgfc haven't had a single pin and it's been two weeks today. I read if nothing happens in two weeks I should have some concern and maybe consider redunking the cakes? I've been misting and fanning multiple times everyday there's FAE the temperature isn't too low and there's adequate light. I know patience is the key, I'm just concerned. Any tips I'll post some pics of the cakes tonight.

Four weeks and a lot of worry later I've seen my first pin! I have been scouring through the forum seeing what I can do. The issue I believe was over misting. I never allowed enough moisture to leave my cakes in order to push them into fruiting. I believe this is a mistake that can easily happen to a beginner like myself because many of the posts say humidity is key and evaporation off of the cake. But in reality loss of moisture then replenishing by misting is the key in the moisture sense. I guess this isn't new to veterans, but to new growers like myself it may not come intuitively.

:thumbup: you went to read and found the answers. Its about time someone didn't need to be spoonfed everything. Always, ALWAYS use that beautiful search tool. This might even help you more in that department.

But yeah humidity isn't that big of a concern here. Unless its the humidity on the surface. All you need to do is keep the surface glistening with absolutely no pooling water. Dont be afraid to mist pins as well. They won't abort.
