Shoebox second flush

I harvested the first flush in this shoebox 8 days ago. Its 1:1.5 brf and coir... I know that it can take around 2 weeks for the 2nd flush, but I just want to double check that this looks okay.... most of the pins for the second flush were already there when the first flush ended, so I just cut the stems to try not to harm any of the new pins.
The caps still look normal, they haven't changed colors like aborts, but I don't think that any of the pins have shown much, if any, growth..
Does everything look good? There is a little condensation on the sides of the shoebox, but not a lot.

I was about to create a new thread before I saw this. I have the same question essentially. What should the surface conditions look like on the second flush? Should it have the same beads of water seen on the first flush?
I'm using 4 qt shoeboxes that were harvested using Bod's floating harvest TEK then I dunked the substrate under water for an hour before placing in fruiting conditions again. I'm not seeing any beads of moisture on the surface though even though there is plenty of moisture on the sides and lid of the shoeboxes. Been two days since harvest.
Any advice is appreciated.

One thing I read says that those pins are the second flush, and another thing says that they're from the first flush and just didn't mature and if I don't pick them they will just abort...

The same practices that generated your first flush continue to apply for subsequent flushes; hydrated substrate, proper surface conditions & FAE.
Dunk, bottom-water, or mist generously to hydrate your sub.
Mist when your sub looks dry.
Position the lid to allow an adequate amount of FAE.
You have happy looking pins. I’d try to keep them as happy as possible to encourage growth. But don’t stress if they abort. If you get to the point where you have no viable pins, allow the sub to dry out for several days before restarting the cycle. Then hydrate your sub again and you may encourage new pins to form for the next flush.

That's what I was hoping to hear.
