problems pinnig again

Well im having problems pinning again. Ive had my first casing in the incubator for about a week. I small some decent amounts of myc for my casing come up, and I didn?t patch em. Its been in my FC for a week now and its exactly the same! My RH is 99%, temps were at about 75F and as of last night dropped to 68F. I have a small aquarium pump going 24/7, and I fan it 2-3 times a day. I had trouble pinning my first set of cakes, an also got small fruits. Nice flush though, 20-30 shrooms but they were all only 2-3 inches tall. My light is a florescent that is on a 12/12 cycle. I dunno what to do! Any suggestions?

give it time. if none in a week of 12/12 cycle then repost. my f+ took a week and a half of 12/12 cycle to pin. some strains take longer to grow also.

casings don't like 99% RH. drop that downto 85ish. also if you give it a goof fanning then the rh should not build very qickly since you have no perlite bubblers don't produce much rh so you are relying on your casing to make thw rh. if you fan it good you'll drop that RH.

i do have perlite, and a bubbbler. i can see why casing dont need 99% RH but my cakes had the same problem, it took about 2.5 weeks to pin! i also have z-strain but i figure most p.cubensis are relatively the same in the whole growth process

High RH is fine until pins form. You need to wait a bit longer though, it's not uncommon to have to wait more than a week for pins. You do want to keep up the fanning, CO2 buildup will inhibit/slow pin formation.

i think that that might be my problem. i do fan 2-3 times a day, but i may not be doing correclty. once in the morning when i leave for work, about 6:00am, once when i get back about 6 or 7 PM, and once before i sleep. i also have that pump going with a air stone on it bubbling in water. so i sounds good to me, i get the feeling that i may not be fanning correctly or long enough. i usually use a small desk fan and turn it on low, and blow air into the FC for about a 1 minute and then close every thing up again. is that good air exchange Technique ?

I think that would be good enough. I use a coolmist 24/7 and usually don't see pins for a week.

hmm, mabey im over anxious, prob casue my last flush took almost 3 weeks. well, we'll see, this friday will make 2 weeks for the casing. i might pick up a cool mist on the way home tonight. is a cool mist or a humidifier on 24/7 good enough for a 10gal fish tank. i would like to stop fanning the thing casue im lazy. also... if i keep my RH at 99%, will it effect my casing in a bad way once they pin? or can i keepit the same..... i ve also got cakes in there and would like to keep it high fo r the cakes

It's good enough for a bunch of 10 gallon tanks. You would need to divert some of the exhaust, otherwise it would dry the chamber quickly, even though the RH would be in the 80s.
And I wouldn't recommend a coolmist for cakes.
Your better off doing what you're doing... or get a plastic tub and build a monotub, something like the pic below, that would put an end to the fanning.
