No Pins in 10 Days?

Hi guys, I finally got a monotub going and I'm not sure what's going on. I think my problem might have been getting enough air exchange, so I've been fanning more often and I'm not sure what else could be the issue (cause I don't see a difference). I've looked at other pics of pins and am not sure if I even have any. There's plenty of moisture in the tub.
Also, there's this weird yellow ball (solid) and I'm not sure if it's metabolites? You can see a bit of it on the left. Thanks for your guidance, this is the farthest I've gotten. 
EDIT: This is GT.

your photo didn't get attached my brotha. if you look real hard you will be able to see pins before the caps get the brown color. I don't think 10 days is way overdue for pins to form but you should be seeing some soon. do you have holes in your tub with poly filters?

I directly linked my photo in the first text part of my post. Sorry, seeing the underlined part is kinda hard. Yeah, I have some holes with poly fill

You need to drill some large holes in the tub and stuff them with poly fill to get good FAE

You’re lucky if you get pins at ten days.
One tub I have has it’s first pin at 19.
You’ll probably see them in the next 3-5 days if you’ve got knots right now.

So I do have knots in the photo? I'm not sure since this is my first time doing this.

Hard to tell from the pic if there are any knots. You can upload photos direct to shroomery fyi. Most members don't like to visit external links. As Budman pointed out make sure you have large holes for FAE in the tub. What is your sub? it looks awfully dark

Sure, will do that next time. I used pasteurized cow manure for my substrate. I was under the impression that it took less time to pin, these responses are encouraging! Will keep you guys updated, thanks.

I didn’t see the picture before, no knots yet.
There’s also no water on the Myc.

It doesn’t look dried out at all which is good, but the point of a mono tub is to get it set up so you don’t need to mist or fan at all, just set it leave it.
I would give it a little mist and see what happens, and maybe start increasing air flow a little bit.

Choice of sub has way less to do with time-to-pin than genetics, water-content of sub (over field-capacity slows things to a crawl), and spawn:sub ratio. Even after pasteurizing cow manure I've had issues with it. Works super when it works. The high rate of failure has been enough to keep me from trying again but I used to use it to grow kiddie pools outdoors regularly becasue of thhe cost and unfriendly horse farmers. I digress. Just a little info FFR.

Thanks for the advice, there are really little droplets of water but they're pretty hard to see in the photo. I'll try all the recommendations and let you guys know what happens
