mycobag not pinning

hello. i posted several days ago in regards to my nearly completely colonized mycobag (of tc spores). after reading people's responses, i decided to put the bag in the freezer for about 8 hours and then give it the proper temperature and light conditions for pinning. someone said i would proabably see primordia pins in 2 - 5 days. it has been 4 days and the bag is in ideal conditions, and i am not seeing any signs of anything. i had said how the bottom of the substrate hadn't colonized, but since the rest was, it was ready to pin. over the past days, all i am seeing is more mycelium spread SLOWLY to the bottom of the substrate even though the temperature is set for pinning and not colonizing. am i not ready to pin (it is at least 90% colonized!)? should i rip open the bag and set it in a terrarium and mist daily? should i just give it more time? i have a hard time seeing into the bag, so it makes it difficult to spot primordia pins; plus, i am not entirely sure of their appearance. there are no contams, although i have noticed very slight bluing where i have handled the bag (this is just bruising though, no contams ). any input and/or suggestions would be gratefully appreciated! thank all of you for you help. peace.

I would give them light 24/7 and try to keep them at 76 degrees.

Make sure it is humid enough...they tell you with those bags that if it is in a dry place that you should move it to somewhere moister

well, i am in a dry wintry climate. there are a few tiny tiny water droplets on the inside, but i am sure it could handle a little more moisture. do you think i should open the top of the bag and mist into it? should i just take the substrate out completely and put it in a terrarium and mist it that way? thanks

or just be patient? you could move it away from drafts if there are any where you have the bag. Hopefully it's not on a heat mat or anything.
