This is my first time. I started with pf cakes and only created two ( i didn't want mess my whole batch up do to an amature error). Anyway, The cakes are fully colunized. I created the two litter terrium. They've been in there for a day and a half (can't wait}. When doing more research I descovered techqiues such as rinsing them under water and shocking them in the frig over night. Would I be better off leaving them alone ( they've been out of the jar 2 days) or going ahead and taking them out of my terrium, rinse them and shock them, then put them back?

you can still do it.. just make sure they aren't pinning before you dunk 'em.
if the cakes seem dry then i would say go for it, otherwise wait until after your first flush. what i would do, which would be the most time-effective and least amount of work other than just leaving them alone, if you really wanted to do something would be to get the top of the cake wet and put it in a little vermiculite, wait for it to dry and stick to the cake, then spray it with some water and get it soaked. this will help with moisture in the cake.
basically just 'dunk and roll' the top of the cake instead of the sides of it.

Its only been in the fruiting chamber for a day, there wont be any pins yet. Dunk those guys in a pot of water for 24 hours then roll in dry verm.
The more moisture the myc has, biger shrooms 
Cubes dont need to be shocked (they are a tropical species) dunking in the fridge is purely to slow the growth of bacteria.
