Cake refuses to pin

I have a pf cake in a poor mans terrarium which I dunked for 16 hours in fridge and then put into the terrarium. The humidity is approx. 92-96 percent, temp is kept 70-75 at all times, and it receives whatever light enters the room during the day (not direct sunlight).
The cake continues to grow a thick layer of fluffy white mycelia and shows no signs of pinning. Is there a reason why its still eating instead of growing up ? =/

you first of all have to be patient. second make sure you are giving all the initiation stratigies. make sure the air is exchanged 3-4 times a day. doing it for longer isn't really helping anymore once the air is out so a minute might be too long. then check to make sure it is exposed to light for 12 on and 12 off. also make sure the humidity is high as shit. you can drop it to 91% once the cake starts to pin. last but not least, make sure your temps are within 74-78 to fruit. it may take a while but they should be there within a week or two...

How long have they been in the FC? Also fanning only need be 15-20 seconds in duration FYI any longer and your only increasing contam sporeloads in your FC and creates excessive evaporation. GL
-------------------- Getting the most out of your casings!, A pinning strategy. Oyster Shell "Flour" $2 for 1lb. a hell of a deal Not what is overlay but rather what overlay is Gas Exchange vs. FAE "We all have priorities. I used a closet once setup a nice little lab trouble was all the shit that was in there ended up in the bedroom that pissed off the GF then I ended up dumping her as she was getting in the way of my sterile culture technique! Ya I got priorities too!!!"
