Pin, You Son-of-a-Bitch!

8 days, now. I have 6, 1 pint BRF Golden Teacher cakes, that have been at 71/72 degree and what has to be 100% humidity, with plenty of FAE. I dunked for 24 hours, then rolled in Verm.
Bah, sorry. I know the answer is patience. Its just so hard. I'm awaiting my first trip ever with my first grow ever.
But, I am noticing more lumps forming on top. Seems to be bulks of really soft myc and some seem to be more solid. Hopefully, thats the beginning of something.

I know, I'm hoping any day now. I've been so prepared for this. About a year now.
It just seems to be getting fluffier and fluffier, and engulfing the dry verm. The top of one seems to be very "lumpy" but, it looks like it soft.

Waiting for your first pins is hard... Sounds like you should see pins in the next few days.

I was using a hygrometer. I believe it was busted. I mean, there is condensation everywhere. I mist the sides about every 2 fannings.
More myc seems to be growing, but thats about it.

in my experience with growing GT they always took fucking forever to pin.

Oh, alright. I was reading some old posts and usually people said around 8 days. Mine is around there, so hopefully it will be soon.
I know they're supposed to be thick stems and caps, maybe I'll have a nice harvest.

you will. trust when rolling in verm... it takes just a couple extra days because the mycelium grows through that and that will slow pinning TIME down... but worth the pinset. trust

It never gets easier.
I have been doing this for 2 years and Im currently on day 8 of my cakes and casings and no signs yet. Sometimes I have pins in 4-5 days (for cakes at least), other times its more like 10-12. They always come and have never failied me, but usually after day 8 I awlways start thinking something is wrong, when in fact, nothing is ever wrong.
This time around Im more concered bacause I have a new set up and Im worried my rh is not high enough. Time will tell.

Yea, cause this is day 8 or day 9 for me and I've been thinking something was wrong.
Good luck on your pinning though.

pins usaully take a good week to come around. but im sure everything will go fine with yoru setup. sounds good, just make sure to give a lot of AE and 12/12 light, and misting.

No. For one, he has already done the 24 hour dunk. Two, the actual effects of cold-shocking are debatable, and deemed unnecessary for cubensis by a lot of the older hands. Even still, when you remove a cake from the incubator it experiences a 5-15 degree cold shock anyways.

Yep, it pinned yesterday morning. I have about 10 good sized pins right now. But, I can see a lot more that may be popping up.
I took some pictures, but my camera is a piece of shit...so, you couldn't even see the pins.
GT's take a damn long time to pin...9 days. I'm hoping by sunday I'll have a harvest.
Hope you get more, Raspo.

Thank you. 
I really hope I get a decent harvest.
I see these little dots that form into pins. These dots are everywhere...just don't know if they're going got be forming into pins or not. Hopefully....
I hope yours finally gets to pin as well.

How long does it take for pins to mature?
I've got one cake that seems to have 3 shrooms on it that are joined together at the base. Those ones are pretty damn big and thick.
On the remainder of my cakes, I have some pins that seems to be staying skinny. Getting longer, but just staying a little skinnier than I expected. Its been about 4 days since they started to pin. They seem to be growing steadily. But, they don't look anywhere near mature. Cause I see some pinning pictures and their pins seem to be all thick and growing nicely.
I know my perlite is dry, but I have been misting. I even misted the perlite again.
I've just been waiting a little while now, and I don't want it to mess up on the home-stretch.
Any thoughts?

Keep up the air exchange, light misting and wait! they will mature in about 4-8 days depending on temps etc. I find from the day I see the first tiny pins to harvest is about a week or so.

Well, after rehydrating the perlite with my water bottle and fanned it a lot last night, I noticed a huge spurt in growth overnight.
Seems to be working.

Actually, for me it was quite long. I didn't fan enough, My humidty dropped considerably...there were a lot of errors on my part.
So, I'd say damn near 2 weeks now. Should have been way less than that.
