10 days no pins??

im using B+/BRF PF tek. Cake has been sitting in my shotgun for 10 days now and no pinning. i mist 2-3 times a day and fan 4-5. my cake kinda looks a lot different than most of the ones i see on the forums. slightly dry looking (it might not actually be dry, thats just what my inexperience tells me). I mist a lot though and have 5 inches of perilite. i think the humidity is fine? im really kind of lost. could it be that i just need to be more patient? i have what i think might be a pin, but it seems to be growing very very slow, and thats the only one. and its still only 1/4 - 1/3 cm tall. colonization also took very long for me too! (2 1/2 - 3 months) what is my problem??? temp is usually in between 70-75 degrees.
any suggestions/advice?????

I would stick to misting and skip the fanning. From my understanding, the "shotgun" FC has like 100 holes in it for FAE. Why oh why would you need to fan it?

a pic if possible. did you wait a full week after 100% colonizatrion so the network could establish itself?

yes, i dunked and rolled. no, i did not wait a week for it to fully colonize. i figured it would be alright because it took to long (over 2 1/2 months) to colonize completely. temp for colonization, and in fruiting chamber is usually in between 70-75. my shotgun only has 3-4 holes on the bottom because it started to crack when i was drilling it so i stopped. and its sitting on the ground currently (possible problem?). it gets more than enough light. ill get a pic up as soon as i can.
and college guy, after it started pinning did everything go as normal, with normal fruits?

get it off the ground. get it at least a foot if not higher off the ground.
And by not waiting a week afture full colonization. Then your cake just sat in their for a week, now lets add the 4-7 days until you see pinning. Add all that up and you should be seeing pins anyday now.
