You need as close to 99% rH as you can get to induce pinning.
From there you can drop it between 95 & 98%
Get that humidity up my friend, and fruit you shall see!
Good Luck

You must make sure proper fruiting conditions are in place (rH, temp, FAE, light).
If those are all good it is just a waiting game.

Sorry for double posting, but I just had 3 jars that I almost tossed. They took 18 days to pin in prime conditions. Sometimes things are just a lil weird. LOL
I think once you fix the humidity issue you will be fine.

rH is relative humidity.
Your humidity is 91%
Cakes need 98-99% humidity to pin.

Misting the sides of your terrarium will help in raising the rH. What type of terrarium are you using? If properly set up it should sustain 99% relatively easy.
Have you calibrated your hygrometer to be sure it is at a true 91%?

Perlite is great for getting proper humidity but at times its tricky to work with! The key is to keep a very light layer at the top slightly drier than the bottom layer because this top layer 'wicks' up the humidity. Another thing you might be able to do to boost rH is to do some supplemental misting with your spray bottle.

You do NOT want any dry perlite in your terrarium.
All perlite should be equally damp.
Dry perlite will only absorb what moisture is left over, in turn lowering your rH.

Right, I didn't mean to suggest the top layer to be completely dry. The point is over saturated perlite simply won't work because it won't wick up the humidity.

Damp perlite does not "wick up" humidity.
It creates humidity via evaporation.

the term he is using "wick up" referres to evaporation. Like water wicking shirts that advertise that the material they are made from evaporate water off with help of body heat
