leave the pins on.
I think you need to dry them better, that's not 75g dry and they'll go bad if they arent completely dry.

he mean wet yield, just a mistake I think it isnt a good way to let the small pins there.. better clean the cakes, full flush them for a night and then go for a clean new second flush.

Nope! Keep them there, they'll mature at their own pace. Dunking your cake will help them grow faster once you place them back in your SGFC, as there will be a lot of evaporation from the surface.

pins for both 1st and 2nd flush often come in at the same time but the ones meant for 2nd flush just sit and wait their turn. dont pluck them off, be patient and be rewarded. also those pins love a 24 hr dunk!
you should try to get creative and find a way to make 1/4" holes on all 6 sides of the FC, find something metal to heat up and melt holes, borrow a drill from a friend/neighboor, i'm sure you'll find something!

I now can see very small white dots on my bulk spawn. As I mentioned before, I spawned 2 240mL Pf-Cakes to about 1500 coir. I'm very interested in the yield of the bulk spawn compared to the cakes.

Should I mist the tray directly? I misted the tray once but then many small droplets were on the mycelium and didn't disappeared for 2 days...

a tray in a SGFC should definitely be misted. if it's still moist after 2 days I suspect your SGFC isnt up to par with holes?
only mist if it looks dry.

New update: My bulk spawn seems to be quite a success. Take a look at the pins:

Looks good!! Make sure you elevate that tray on some half pints or something similar. You want the perlite underneath to do its job, given that the tub looks full and the surface can easily dry out. In this case, I would definitely mist it until the surface is glistening with tiny water droplets.
