Blue meanies not pinning

Blue meanies not pinning after 6 days in 15 qt dub tub setup under 5000 kelvin light between 73-80 degrees, fanning 3-4 times a day. I tried setting up mini-fan in the room which didn't help. Usually get pinning after a day or two under these conditions. Mycelium started to look dry so I've been misting 3 times a day too to keep some humidity in the chamber and keep mycelium looking glistening. Should I change to a traditional grow light with a different spectrum? Afraid of getting contamination soon, already had a little mold I had to scoop out, fortunately it hasn't spread. Image before misting, so not usually this dry appearing.

well if u had to scoop out mold already its basicly gnna be fucked and is only a matter of time. if ur getting mold its already all throughout the entire sub. its most likely in ur spawn since you have yet to even have a first flush. id go back and review your sterile work/prep techniques and see if you can pinpoint the cause.
for instance how did u prep your grain?? did you use agar to inoculate said grain? what did you use for a bulk sub? how did you prep the sub? do u have pics of the culture on agar or on grain?
info like that will greatly help your chances of finding where you went wrong. but you can always 100% bet the bank that if your getting mold anywhere before tbe first flush its in ur spawn

I use pre-sterilized grain bags from north spore and inject spores from Ralph's and have never had a problem. Then I prep coco coir and vermiculite with boiled water according to the tek posted on here and allow to colonize in a 15qt bin in a larger opaque bin. I keep in a special grow room that no one goes in otherwise. I think some mold spores may have gotten in from opening my attic outside the room as another container got completely overtaken by mold so I had to decontaminate the room and throw that one out. I have bags constantly going so I guess I will just hope for better luck with the next rounds.
