Not Pinning day 8 1

Hope I can get some guidance. I birthed after 5 weeks which I believe was even maybe a bit early as some jars were not colonized fully but was concerned about the moisture in the jars.
Dropped temps from 78-80 down to 70-72 if its hot maybe 74. Here we are day 8 not 1 pin. only movement was a few hyphae roots stuck out of the cake. and had some white fuzzy growth that slowed down by bringing temps from 78 the 1st few days to 70-72. Again no pins on day 8 no knots either. Humidity has always been 99% Led light from above, perlite holds the moisture
I did not dunk and roll. I dont mist.
I fan once a day for no more than a few seconds however I have an air pump blowing air into the fc used to be every 12 hours for a 30minutes. now seeing no progress its set for every 8 hours to blow fresh air.
If anyone can help me please. I am afraid that the 99% humidity isnt enough moisture and I should have dunked them.

I don't personally run cakes but you should upload pics otherwise no one can really tell the conditions to give advice. Air pump sounds like an issue. If no dunk and roll I would imagine they don't have much water and fanning/pumping air would be counterproductive.
But yee there are some heavy pint runners around here that'll prob give advice if you have a pic.

How to upload a Pic. Check that thread out.
I probably would have dunked and rolled. At least give them a good misting. I have only done cakes once but id suggest doing the dunk and roll now. But id wait for a more experienced pf tek grower to chime in before pulling the trigger on that.
I'm with iceNock on the air pump. It is probably causing more problems then it's solving.
What kind of fc do you have? Is it a water tub or a sgfc with perlite? What chu got?

Welcome to the Shroomery!
I will dunk tomorrow if I have to. Do I need to sterilize the vermiculite or can I use it right out the bag?? I dont have pressure cooker. But I will wait till the experienced cake folks come in and put their 2 cents like you said.
The fc has perlite under the bottom with water. The fc is floating in another tub of water with a heater keeping it steady at 72f.

Tomorrow I will cut it back on the air flow
