First time grow/Mushroom grow kit

Hello everyone! First time grow and first time posting here on Shroomery! I ordered a mushroom grow kit online and some B+ spores. colinization went great until the very end, where It started to slow down, most likely from fluctuating temp. So at about 2.5 weeks I decided to birth the cake with the very top layer uncolonized (which is a bad idea, I know, I was impatient and wasn't seeing any growth) I now have it in my fruiting bag the kit came with, and am starting to see a lot of primordia and 3 pins come up. Though I haven't seen any growth in the past 3 days or so. is that normal? I figured I'd just share my experience and get some feedback on how things are looking so far

Did you not get a hint from your first post that was closed by a mod?
You need to edit your post and remove any vendor names when referring to cultivation. Remember, sponsors only sell prints and spores for microscopy use.
You need to read the rules before posting with this again. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/14960167

Welcome to shroomery. Please remove the advertisement from your original post. You're off to a pretty good start, you've already go your first pins, congrats  I'd recommend misting it a few times a day. The mycelium will appreciate the extra moisture and give you larger mushrooms with less chances of aborts.

Moisture evaporating off the surface of your mycelium and light are your two biggest pinning triggers. With a grow kit they don't give you many options to adjust your FAE. You want as much constant fresh air exchange as you can get without drying your cakes, this allows for your surface evaporation.

I would read this a little bit to get a good idea, this is the sort of environment you want that cake to be subjected to.

Hard to tell the size of the cake, but I know from my own experience that growth can slow down towards the bottom of even a half pint jar if you use the tall ones instead of wide mouth ones. Something about gravity compacting the substrate towards the bottom?
So it wouldn't surprise me at all to find something bigger than that completely stalled out.
