I'm asking because I don't think I have enough FAE, not because I think he put some spell or sorcery on his pf cakes to make them start pinning. He said he made some modifications to his grow chamber

Although that is a possibility. Fae makes more pins IME, it isn't why it pinned, as was pointed out by the pics. I just didn't want you or the OP to think we have control over when it pins, just the environment it pins in.

It wasn't that there were no pins. My pins just sat there for a week and didn't grow because I had my setup under a cabinet and in the corner next to my fridge. I moved it out to another part of the counter that had a foot of space on each side. Also, I poked holes in the lid. I had previously only poked holes in 5 sides. FAE is super important for the pin to fruit stage i guess.

it is. FAE is one of the most important things for good fruiting. if the the most important, considering it has the other things it needs.

Absolutely agree. I have stopped thinking about it as if i'm growing plants in the window sill (so to speak). More like having little pets that i have to feed and maintain on a daily basis. They need to breath air and to eat food and drink water too. Here is the start of round 2. The top middle is the cake from the previous posts. Lots of bruising after the dunk for some reason on that one and the verm didn't stick so well. Anyone know why this happens?

when you roll in the verm, let it sit in the verm for like 30min or so, before you put it in the SGFC. then also, wait a few hours or even a day before any misting. that will give it a chance to stick to the myc better. although, you are supposed to roll on the first flush.

Little update. I think things are still a little too wet in there. The myce. is looking really fluffy to me. What do you experts think?

More FAE! Let it have at LEAST a foot from anything around ALL sides! That water evaping is pin trigger! They can grow like over an inch in just a couple hours with the water evaporating! Its amazing.
Make sure your not pointing the spray bottle diresctly on the cakes.. Kinda point it into the air & let it fall beautifully onto them!

Also dont let them look "wet" or drip down the sides.. You wamma see little beads of water all over, they will literally glisten, or look like tiny little diamonds all over.

O and apparently (just learned this today) if you have giant-like blob pins, let the cake sit in very little water, like a 1/8 in. On a dish or jar lid. Or else the cake wont have enough water to support the giant pins which are baby mushies!
Change that water DAILY. Maybe twice a day really...

I have moved it since the last pic of the FC. It's well away from anything now. I cleaned my kitchen really well with a little bleach and water, and now I'm letting The FC sit with no lid for the rest of the day to let things evaporate and breathe a little. If this doesn't work, i might just try to rig something further from the ground like you said. Does anyone else put a little fan on the outside of their FC? I've seen a lot of mixed opinions about this.

Be careful leaving the lid off, id put it diagonally instead, bc you dont want to loose your RH either. If its possible for you, id just fan more often today to get that moisture to leave a bit. If they were mine, id put it on slanted, with also fanning like once every hour or two for 30 sec. But CAREFULLY. You have to use your eyes to judge that theyre not drying out. How long have they been in your FC?

i had a fan on in my hallway with my door half shut, about 4 feet away from mine, and it wasnt pointed dirsctly at it, but created a little of a draft.. My cakes dried a bit nd i aborted some giant pinsets i had going... I actually just posted about that issue yesterday. So id stick with manual fanning or slanting the lid. The slanted/diagonal lid idea i read from one of RRs posts.

I think that is probably the consensus from what i have read. (the little fan being a no-go.) I'm probably just over reacting again. lol. I had a lot of worry moments during the first little experiment and everything turned out fine. Just have to trust the tek, even if it seems counter intuitive. I'll go check our your thread, man. Thanks for taking a look.
Also, is this aerial mycelium?

Im no expert but id say yes. But await for a second answer. I do know my cakes had that and they gave me many grams. 
That is a blurry pic tho.
You are talking abouy the super white at the top right? Not the crystal looking myc down lower?
