Generally I start out with the white side up, the pins usually start around the bottom edges then I flip the cake. With the indention side up I put a tablespoon of vermiculite in the indention, and keep it moist. It helps to hold moisture.

Probably not before 10 days after you put it into the fruiting chamber and I wouldn't be concerned if it takes 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, it can still happen, but it's getting near the time where you might have some concerns.

That cake looks pretty healthy to me. Looks like it wants to give up the goods pretty soon.

When I use cakes after the cakes have had about a week in the chamber I will take the lid off and mist the cakes about 18" away for about ten seconds. I fruit a dozen cakes at a time though. I leave the lid off the chamber for about 4-5 hours and allow the water to evaporate off the cakes, sometimes to the point the cakes bruise blue just a bit. Then I mist them again and replace the lid. Generally within 2-3 days the cakes have an abundant amount of pins around the bottom edges, at which point I flip and continue my misting and fanning routine.

I didn't say don't mist for 3 days, I said after you leave them out drying after 4-5 hours replace the lid and mist and fan as regular, after 2-3 days I have an abundance of pins. Like these...

That sure qualifies as A LOT OF PINS on PF Tek Cakes!

Don't read too much into it Cube, always mist and fan on a regular basis. That is one thing you never stop doing.

You told me the other day the cake had already consolidated, so yea, if I were you I would mist him till he glistens and leave him out for 4-5 hours.
