My First Babies!

MERRY!MERRY! Splendid Humans! I'm just growing my first batch. Day 5 in the FC and 4 of 8 are growing well. The other 4 are puffy with myc but no pins yet.
I kept em in the jars for 1 week after full colonization (one had already started to pin) Then I dunked em for 24 at room temp Then after a rinse and roll I placed em in my FC 4-5" damp perc after waiting 30 minutes I misted em every 30 minutes the first couple of hours
I didn't put extra light on it until day 2 - just ambient indirect from a window - then I added 1 CFL on the opposite side for 12 hr a day
RH is constant around 90% sometimes a bit higher Temp is steady 73-75 I fan about 6-7 times a day and every other time I mist for 3-4 a day
I leave the lid off after I fan for about 10 minutes and the RH usually goes up to 91-94 sometimes it shoots up to 95-99 but I think that's just some mist getting on the sensor
QUESTION: Should I change anything or any suggestion s to get the other 4 cakes to pin? It's been 5 days after a good week extra in the jar after full colonization.

Thanks for your time and thanks for such a great place full of info!

Don't worry soo much about the humidity, it'll fluctuate regardless of what you do and it's no big deal. Focus more on keeping those cakes misted and provide enough FAE for the beads of water to evaporate quickly and you'll see more pins. It helps to have a small fan running in the same room pointed away from the tub.
If you can keep the tub near a window, then natural daylight will be more than enough for your cakes, so don't stress too much about adding extra lights. Remember, constant evaporation from the surface of your cakes is the biggest pinning trigger, so get that right first and you'll be on your way to a successful harvest.
And also, trim down the foil to the circumference of the base of the cake, you don't want to have it blocking the perlite underneath, it's stopping it from doing its job
Good luck man
