i had cakes acting just like that and i got pissed, since i had grown out some cased grains and had great results. you should try and get a good lc from that pin, your conditions are far from optimal (that mushrooms has some good genes).

1000 times? Might as well just buy a humming bird and have it live in the FC to vent 
Indirect light, yes... After you FAE mist with sparyer high above open FC, let all the mist fall into the FC before you put the lid on. I've had great results on my first cake with this, and the cake was only 85% conolized... Started to pin too early in the mason jars...

Yes! Mist too! Just not directly on the cake itself! Esp. with your senerio, you need a change quickly, I bet it will do the trick, plus you've alreay rolled those mother fuckers, you want the verm to get wet. Good luck College Guy, keep us updated!

If you fan them 8 times a day its gonna be harder for perlite to keep your humidity high enough to trigger pins, 2-3 times a day will work fine.

Because he would saturate the verm and it would wash off... Sorry, forgot to explain my logic.

The pins which stop are still potent, if they stop growing for two to three days pick 'em off with clean hands. After you mist, i'd say two weeks max. and still nothing. Try another cold dunk for 24 hours.
It happens, all it means is you need to make some changes somewhere.

So what if it knocks off the verm? Big deal! When you mist you are supposed to use the mist setting on the nozzle not the stream. The verm wil not fall off with direct misting, maybe if you shoot it off the stream but I would hope you folks are not that stupid.
Gettting the cake wet will cause those rhizomorphs to knot up and form something special

Depending on the setting on the nozzle sure...
Mine's really powerful when on the tightest setting...
Wait, we're still talking about spray bottles right?
