Bizziness said: Thanks! Fucking love you guys!! I'll try that now! And also I picked up one of the cakes in the back row to feel it's moisture content and behind where two pins. Should my cakes be moist to the touch? Because all I feel is a light weighted cake with dry verm! I also have my space heater pointed directly towards my closet. Is that bad??
If the cake feels really light and appears dry then it probably needs to be misted. If it feels a bit heavy it may be over saturated. You want beads of moisture on the surface, but not pools of water. You want to allow the beads of moisture to evaporate before misting again, as evaporation of moisture from the surface of the substrate is a major pinning trigger. It’s a balancing act that I’m still trying to perfect.
Here, give this a read - it’s a good discussion on proper surface conditions. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/23999053
Edit: yeah that looks much better now that you’ve raised it up. Here’s another good reference for you as well: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/21595437

Get rid of space heater, they may fruit slightly slower at cooler temps, but less chance for contam. And that space heaters probs drying em out. They shouldn't feel super dry and light weight, you want them moisturized but not soggy

Yo. Good work.
Took me 18 days to get my last pins. 5days is nothing to get worked up about.
How far is the CFL. As long as there is a barrier like plastic or glass and is about a foot away from the cakes, this can help with the temps.
I also find misting well then fanning for a little while to help the evaporation has helped me with pins. I fan soo much its almost like feeling the Myc breath lol.
Good luck

Its fine. Can be from handling. Or simply the misting can also cause it. Bruising aint a big deal. It still fruits fine. Gotta be gentle with them ;b too many variables.

Yeah, it’s normal. It usually happens after harvesting or if it’s drying out.

Yeah everytime I grab them to feel the moisture content they feel dry as s***. would it be okay if I re-dunk and roll them. Or should I wait for my first flush?

Mist them immediately. Don't dunk and roll

Just maintain proper surface conditions and wait for your 1st flush. After your 1st flush you can re-dunk for ~12 hours, but no need to roll- just place back into fruiting
