Please help! PF TEK Cake does not pin( 1

Hey all,
it`s my 1st grow and the strain is B+. PF TEK method I made all according to this instruction https://www.magic-mushrooms-shop.com/en/blog/how-grow-magic-mushrooms-pf-tek-cakes/. All went good, jars were fully colonized on 2nd week, and I waited one more week before putting them in the fruiting chamber. Before putting them into the fruiting chamber I did not dunk them... And now it is 10th day of their life in the fruiting chamber and my cakes have not been pining. A little bit about fruiting chamber: It is a small greenhouse, I warm it with candles and metal cans, the average temperature is 24-28 C (75-82 F), humidity is always around 60%-80%.I can`t make humidity higher, but there are always drops on the wall from the inside of the greenhouse. The greenhouse is always a little bit open (for the CO2 circulation) and I fan it several times a day. There is natural light for them, but no direct light. Should I be just more patient and just wait, dunk them or what? Really would be very grateful for your help!
P.S. My vermiculite is black

You should always dunk and roll BRF cakes.
I’d probably dunk and roll now if I was you. 10 days is not crazy long though I suspect with a DNR they may already have started. They like that layer of verm on the outside.
Have you been misting the cakes? Evaporation from the surface is a pinning trigger once you have full colonization.

Candles...they use oxygen and produce Co2... Also that is direct heat and you cakes look dry. You want Oxygen rich environment not a CO2 High environment.
Roger has it right dunk and roll them and move them into a plastic tub to fruit them the Martha is going to dry them out to fast and they probably won't pin.
If you can get perilite make a SGFC.

Besides being a major fire threat, those candles seem like a really bad idea.

I use not a direct light from the candle, I just put them into the can, and put another the can filled with water on the top

It's still not a good idea. What's your room temperature?

You need to dunk because mushrooms are 9/10 water.. they'll need it to fruit.
That being said I think it's a time thing... Your chamber looks good. Probably another week
About a week tops after you see fluffy fuzzy mycelium.
The candle is pointless.. your temperature is okay as well as your chamber.

Get rid of the candles. Use a different heat source like a space heater. Your cakes are super dry. I would recommend dunking then rolling them.
