Overview of First Grow

I will describe below the entire process I have gone through regarding mushroom cultivation. Please don't hesitate to respond with pointers or tips. This is my first grow, and I have made a few mistakes, so please forgive.
I noc'd up 7 jars with PES Hawaiian. The colonization took roughly 3 weeks. I let them sit a few days. They grew healthy in the jars, and there were no contams.
I dunked initially for 9 hours, then rolled in vermiculite. I placed them in a terrarium with perlite. It has been one week since I placed them in the FC. Yesterday, I looked in my terrarium to see that some of them had bruising on the top. It was speculated that it was from lack of moisture. I re-dunked yesterday for 9 more hours in the refrigerator. I took the cakes out and placed them back in the FC overnight. Today, I decided that I should re-roll them, as they were not re-rolled.
Up to date, I have handled the cakes just a bit. I have them rolled now in the terrarium. What tips/speculation can you give me on the growing process? It has been a week, when would you speculate that pinning will take place? Have the methods in which I handled the cakes post-birth bad? Will I still get fruits? Thanks!

the bruising probably occured as you were rolling them. as far as my understanding, bruising isnt a horrible thing. it just happens.
ive always had pinning before a week, but sometimes it does take longer. i wouldnt worry, but if you could give more information....
for instance: whats the temp in the chamber? how many hours of light? etc.

99% Rh and FAE and you are go to go. Do you fan, or do you have holes drilled, or both?
They need FAE and moist air, mist and fan, and you'll have pins soon.

Aye, I mist and fan quite often, and I have tons of holes drilled in there. I am just going to keep misting and fanning now that they are rolled. The temp in the chamber, my guess, would be ~68. I leave the lights on 12 hours, then off 12 hours.
