Do I cold shock it to induce pinning once fully colonized?

Depends on the temperature where you are. Definitely take away heat source. In winter months SWIM got great pinning and flushes with B+ without dunking, but SWIM tells me that some strains might be more particular than others. He had no luck with getting a penis envy bag to pin and by the time he decided to cold shock the bag had gone bad.

90% of my jars colonize in a small room with shelves.
There is a window in that room. I don't have any problems.

Some people swear by cold shocking. I have seen absolutely no benefit to doing it myself. If anything, it seemed to slow fruiting.

some strains cold shock. its more of a prefreince. light will induse pinning.

That helps alot. My strain is B+. I am on sort of a timed schedule. about 50% colonized (maybe more) in a TiT at 79degrees. <-- i think thats the right temp.
I guess i will use light to induce pinning because i can't afford it to take a really long time to fruit. I just got a job today and i am planning on movie 2 states over in 3-4 weeks. I hope thats enough time.
I hate it when you get stressed for time.

you cannot pin a 1/2 colonized jar.
one pinning trigger is a colonized substrate.

i am gonna let it get fully colonized first. I meant to mention when it got 100% colonized but i guess i forgot.

I agree with it being a preference thing, but as for "some strains" needing it, I say
Light, temps and proper humidity will induce pinning. No strain needs cold shocking. It's another one of those things someone did a long time ago and convinced a bunch of people that it was needed or helped when in reality, the time was right for pinning anyway.

you should have just enough time to eek out a few fruits before the move.
don't only consider light for pinning. Consider all of the parameters. Relative Humidity Fresh Air Exchange Proper Moisture Content Good Evaporation off of the casing layer. Correct Temperature. Correct Exposure to Light.
There is alot to consider when fruiting, not just light. There's stuff other than this stuff too, but I worry about those ones.
