Pins out but no further growing. Should I worry?

Hello guys,
I have done PF Tek for the first time , mycellium covered up my jar completely , all good. I drawn the cakes in water for 20h , I covered them in vermiculite and put them inside my box with the bottom covered in wet perlite.
Thing is 3 days after, pins showed themselves but now is the 7th day , more pins have appeared but I see no further grow from any of the pins.
Is this normal? should I worry? what do you think the problem could be?

Are the walls of the tub where mushrooms grow?
Wait did you dunk the cakes?

I agree with screwup cakes are dry. Also, the second pic has overlay turning into stroma. Your tin foil pads are too big. Trim them up to the size of the cake so evaporation below goes up the side of the cake and absorbs into it. The moisture on the walls doesnβt mean much if the vapors arenβt hitting the cakes. Just tape all of the holes up for now unless you have another tub for fruiting. If you have a tub leave it unmodified. Then modify as needed based on your environment.

thank you so much for your input , as for now I don't have anything better than the big plastic box but in the future I will upgrade. Any tips to save them? should I spray more water inside?

Not bad for your first attempt by the way. You got further than most people do. Now that youβve βgraduatedβ from total noob so to speak I suggest considering a switch to grain. In my opinion itβs actually easier than the pf cakes and you get a better yield with less chance of contamination. If you can find some coir today prep it and crush a few cakes up into the coir. I think you will be happily surprised in two weeks. Good luck!
