There are two strains in there Puerto Rican and albino .......here are some pics (sorry for the quality they are bad)

How long did they stay in the jar after 100% surface colonization?

Some of those cakes don't look 100% colonized to me. Did you put extra verm on them after you birthed them? If not, I think you birthed them too early.

The cakes were 100% colonized I waited about 5 to 7 days before I birth them and then I put them in water for about 24 hour and rolled them in dry verm.....what you are seening in the pic is the mycellian that grew on the dry verm....

You realize that after you roll in dry verm you have to mist it well to get it wet?
Also, are the cakes getting any light?

i say increase your fresh air exchange, keep your humidity up, and maybe put on some jazz or something.

Should I try cold shock them to try to induce pins or just put them in the garbage and try again?

give those jars a cold shock in the fridge (closed container) for 12 hours and then set them back in the terrarium.
those caralhos should be coming up in no time 
Boa Sort pa!

what helped my cakes pin was placing wet vermiculite (field capacity)on top as a reservoir for water, which i then misted a few times daily. I know this is a very good method because my pins have started to grow directly out of the top in large quantities. you should give it a shot, its never too late.
Forca!

They were in the jar for about -+20 days (after 100% colonization + 7 days ). I did dunk for 24h and roll in dry verm and misted the verm. Sorry But I don't know what is FAE( sorry kind of new at this). Iam fanning about 3 times a day and misting it.

FAE is fresh air exchange which is vital to hyphal knot formation  which doesn't mean getting rid of the CO2... its more like creating a good ratio of co2/oxygen in your air.

Well I though that fanning it would be enough.
