Single pin!?

So i posted a while back about a cake i had(unclebeens) and it started bruising and stalled out. some one suggested i redunk my cake for an hr and dont mist only fae. Well a day later boom i got one single pin. Im very happy but its been a couple days and it seams like the cake is still bruising and hasnt moved sense my pin showed up ... im misting above and near not directly on the cake(only when humidity lvls got to below 90) and temp is pretty consistent between 70-75. The cake is on foil on a bed of perlite. Can any one point out what im doing wrong or that i need to do?

Needs to go in a fruiting chamber designed to work. Not a loose interpretation of one.

Can you take a picture from the side of the tub so that entire SFC is visible? (the cake itself is irrelevant)

You should have 1/4" holes in a 2"x2" grid on all 6 sides of the tub and it should be elevated to allow airflow from under it. Thats not near enough airflow. You should review the SFC teks...
The giant piece of foil is also cockblocking the airflow to the edges of the cake as well. A single layer the size of the cake is adequate.

Do us a favor and never do that uncle bens shit again. And I'm really sorry you found your first cultivation advice off youtube or reddit.
Cakes keep each other company. And keep the humidity good.

It is apparent you are not following best/modern grow knowledge from the black lining/paint on the bottom of your tub.
You would know from reading a proper fruiting tec that it is completely useless.
So if you have that going on you likely are doing other things that are not helping.
When I started (like 10 years ago), trusted information was hard to come by. But Bod has made it incredibly easy to find trusted information and get you the results you want.

2. This link will help you review trusted tecs to dial in your SFC and get happier PC cakes. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/21448273

This is the tek I used when I built mine and it works well. I like to keep it on a wire shelf to avoid alot of hassles with providing the airflow from the bottom.

after not having a great start i did go with WBS with my next set and its about 5 days in no contam! my goal was to do bulk but i had 2 tubs i did with brf cakes i broke up and did bulk, get to just before pinning and i got trich. tossed them both started over did the uncle bens tek and got 4 bags and one i could tell right off the bat was contam . the other 3 sat for over 3 weeks before i cut them open and found only one to be fully colonized (thats the one in the pictures). I started a jar with WBS and im wafting to see anything! i just found your sticky and all the info i was looking for and must have missed! OMG are you not informative! BRO you have A LOT of info to take in lol!
