Popcorn TEK -GT- First grow - Pinning Phase

hello Shroomery,
i've recently moved to the pinning & fruiting phase of my grow
here's the status of the grow so far :
17.11.18 - 15 cakes moved into terrarium, schedule is 6 daily mist & fans and a 10 to 14 light cycle (10 dark, 14 light)
temp is around 20/21 C moisture is kept at 99%
i'm slightly worried that i'm not seeing any sort of pinning on any of the cakes.
please advise on how to progress from this point, thank you.

Set your lights for 12/12. Mist when they need it, not on some schedule. Throw your hygrometer away, it's useless.
Just wait. It'll pin or it won't. They're probably too wet from overmisting. Corn has no place in a BRF cake. What did you use?

Cakes were birthed 4 days ago you need to have more patience than than. It can take a couple of weeks before you see fruits. Thus far you have already misted these newly born cakes 24 times that's way too much. I'm not sure how corn will affect your cakes but done is done, you'll just have to wait and see

@36fuckin5 - this is GT on hydrated corn, inoc via syringe
set my timer to 12/12
also did a bit more of reading ,i'm switching to intermittent misting and fanning, (8am mist | 9am fan) with an interval of 3 idle hours between each pair of actions, so 3 mists a day, and 3 fans a day.
anyone else has experience with this tek and cares to share his wisdom on the matter?

Fanning is pointless and lighting schedule is far less important than you think. 8h of cloudy daylight while grow is behind a couch is enough to grow lots of shrooms I know from experience. If you give them more than 8-10 of light a day they'll never complain about the light. I've also grown them in 24h/day light for months in a row and they seemed to do just fine. It's not like they plants.

Stop trying to mist on a schedule. Do it when it needs it.
Your results are gonna suck because you used corn and only corn. That's also not how you use whole grains.
I'd throw it away and consider it a waste of time then start over with real cakes or better grain and spawn that to bulk. You might get results but you've got lots of bad habits and your yield will be shit.

fair enough, this is indeed my first grow, and since i don't have access to all of the ingredients that growers usually have, i went with something that i had access to, which is corn.
besides that, i've red about other people who succeeded with it, so i saw no hazard in trying.
regardless, would you mind explaining what in your experience would be a better grow tek with corn? should i combine it with somthing else in the next grow?

A better grow method with grain would be to inoculate with agar instead of Spores
And a better choice of grain would literally any grain except corn.

I've used corn. It works. It sucks. Find something else. Any whole grain will do.

Hydrated corn was never a good medium for me. For cakes brown rice flower (PF tek) and for spawn wild bird seed using hamloaf’s wbs tek in shoeboxes were tits
Easy af - good luck on your grow you might get a flush goin
