No pinning on cakes (pics)

Confused on the length of time before I should see some pinning on my cakes. I birthed them about a week and a half ago after 25 days in incubation. Did the usual dunk and roll (24hrs dunked in the fridge) Now they have been sitting there for about 12 days and I see absolutley no growth. In fact it even looks like there may be some more mycellium growth since I've putt them in the FC.
Here are some pics of the cakes.

They usually seem to show up in about 8 days. Some may take longer. What are your temps? It's normal to see the mycelium puff up a bit after you expose the cake to fruiting conditions. Be patient, give it another week before you give up on em, I bet you'll see some pins in the next couple of days.

I will add a few things to this aswell, FC at at 95& humidity and temp is 72 degrees. Been fanning twice a day aswell. All though i dont know if fanning is needed at this stage in the game.

Test moisture by picking up the cake and comparing it to what the cake weighed when you put it in the fruiting chamber. If dry, repeat the dunk. Fan as often as you think of it. I drill lots of holes in the terrariums and still fan several times per day. Air exchange is a major pinning trigger. RR

Did you give the jars the extra week's wait inside the jar after full surface colonization or did you birth as soon as the surface was 100% ?
