BRF Cakes not pinning/fruiting after 11 days in SGFC -PLEASE HELP-

Here’s what I did:
This is my first grow. I did the pftek method and waited 7 days after full colonization of penis envy occurred. After waiting, I dunked my 3 cakes for 24 hours, then rolled in sterilized (oven baked) vermiculite. I placed these cakes on aluminum foil in my perlite SGFC. The perlite was washed before I placed it in. I have 1/4” holes on all sides of the box except the bottom and placed 2” apart from one another. I mist and fan 4 or more times a day. I fan for 30 seconds at a time. I also have a humidity gauge that shows my humidity is between 81-99% humidity at all times. The temperature of my house ranges from 70-74° F. The temperature on my gauge seems broken because no matter how hot or cold my house is, it never changes from 68°. But with my space heater on and thermostat readings, I can assure you I’m at those temps. My SGFC sits next to the air purifier.
They get indirect sunlight from the living room on the schedule of the sun. I have a towel up on top usually to increase the humidity. I never cover all the holes up top though.
Anyways, after the first 3-4 days, I noticed the verm was looking dry so I sprayed from fat away to get the verm a little wet. I’m worried that my cakes are too dry? But now I make sure my verm is slightly damp looking and then fanned off really well.
I’ve talked to my cakes, sung to them, told them were special, and did all the instructions but after 11 days I see no difference. They look exactly the same as day 1.
What do I do? Any help or recommendations will help me so much. Do you think I should redunk and roll? Or should I just keep waiting? Or am I screwed? Thanks in advance to all of you.

mist when needed, it may be twice a day it may be four times a day. PE is slow to pin so be patient

not an expert w cakes so i don’t know the exact timelines you should expect, but it looks like there is some bruising going on on your cake in the picture. did you handle it? if not, it might be bruising from getting too dry but it’s hard for me to tell without actually seeing them
i think penis envy can be a bit slow to colonize & fruit & all that too. 11 days doesn’t sound like too long so i wouldn’t be worried about that. they’ll pin when they pin
also i’m pretty sure fanning is useless

My mushroom homies too hard to get that corona
Ok guys, but seriously. Should I spray the cakes more? Or just wait? 1 person is telling me to redunk and roll

didn’t realize there were more pics if i scrolled down lol. yeah those look bruised as fuck. bruising can happen if you let your cakes/sub dry out & then mist them. i’d say you probably want to mist more regularly. it’s better to not let the dry out, though you don’t wanna soak them either. i think penis envy can be a little thirstier too, so they might be wanting more water

mad season gives some good advice in this thread. surface conditions are probably the hardest thing about this hobby, at least in my experience

That helps a lot. Thanks man. I’ll start misting them directly more often now. You would recommend against dunk and rolling them again?

i’ve never grown cakes so idk. i’m pretty sure you’re not supposed to dunk & roll again but i’m not sure. my advice would be to skip cakes & spawn to bulk in a shoebox next time 
also you can bottom water your cakes too, i can’t give much advice about it from personal experience but you should be able to find some info on it if you search

The noobs that have tested it care a lot. Just check out the latest posts and stop saying things that aren't true. What would you base that assumption on that "no 8me cares about the HC?" because they have tested it and are not happy? Hardly.. That's not what the evidence suggests at least.

because nobody is here saying " omg go check out the hc!" other then you running around promoting it like it's God's gift to cakes, I seen the pics and indeed results speak for themselves...no better then a sgfc and when somebody says it doesn't work well you jump on them for their skill level, that draws a line for me and I'm done playing nice.

I'm not asking anyone to play anything I'm just wondering why you seem to have missed all the TCs and experienced growers acknowledging the Tek in the HC thread?

I don't give a fuck who's acknowledge it it's no secret that cubes love to grow, your running around asking for it to be stickied like it's the discovery of the decade and trying to demote a sgfc any chance you get and when somebody said it didn't work well you blame their skill yet your big argument is a sgfc is not begginers friendly?

That's exactly my point and it's proven by almost every grower that has tried the HC, minus that I'm bashing anyone who hasn't got the skills.
HC is an improvement of fruiting setups for cakes, you can disagree how much you want but it doesn't change the facts proven over and over in the HC thread alone.

I don't have to be worth anything, I'm doing this to help new growers raise their success rate with new and I proved methods instead of doing the same outdated methods that have over and over been proven to not be so effective for new growers.

Sgfc work like magic i dont see how anyone could diss them.
When you pick up the cakes do they have weight to them? I wouldnt dunk again if they do id just wait sometimes they can take a little while.

Yeah that's why you see daily posts about blue cakes proving how SGFC magic works in the hands of beginners. Magic would be not even needing to roll the cake in verm and then have a normal flush without even having to mist even one single time, that's the magic of the HC.
