When should I expect THE PINS?

How long after birth should I expect the pins to show up? I think the temp and humidity are okay. I have a blue light over them that I keep on part of the day, and I fan new air through 3 times a day.
I'm really excited. Anticipation. This is my first time cultivating and I feel like I've been waiting so long... I guess it improves your character to have to wait for something you want, but I've had enough of waiting!

that question isn't answered in the newbie q&a thread... perhaps it should be 
you can't really get a good answer though. it'll happen when its ready. optimal conditions encourage it faster. it can be a few days, it can be as much as two weeks+ - your mycelium network needs to gather enough resources first of all (mostly happens during colonization, but if the insides of your cake didn't colonize as much there will be some extra delay, if you didn't dunk there might not be enough moisture in which case there will be a lot of delay if it pins at all), and second of all you need to induce ideal pinning conditions: a temperature drop to 72-76, fresh air, and light. it sounds like you've taken care of those things, so just hang in there and you'll see em soon enough.

This is my first time, but I think that I will dunk one of the cakes to see if they pin faster than the others (so I can see the effect that had. After all, I don't REALLY know that the myceleum is thirsty anyway. I wish I could ask them how they are feeling.) I will read the dunk teks and see about that. Thanks!

at least with cakes you can assume the myc is always thirsty
