I have a cake with about 25 to 30 pins forming all around the top of jar. The cake is 99% colonized it will be 100% by the time I wake up. What should I do with it? I have read conflicting info and not sure if I should leave it for the extra week, birth it completely. Or open it dunk it in jar and then put the whole jar in FC. Since all pins are on top of jar. I dont know I am just anxious first grow very excited! What would you do?

Fruit it, and look at it. If your getting pins, its to late to do much with it. And it could also be fruiting early because of contam. I had jars sit around for 3-4 months until they finally went invitro on me... lol

I think it's happening becaue the lid was a little loose. If it's contam it's not visible. Not saying it's not a possiblity. I also heard it could be because it's drying out.

If it's pinning you don't leave it for another week. Take it out and dunk it with the pins. It won't harm them. Then move the cake to the fruiting chamber immediately. If the lid was a little loose then you initiated the pinning by exposing the cake to FAE.

Yeah thats my thought to. I'm such a noob a just so interseted by this shit and look at my jars all the time. But now that I've seen it happen once I have been managing not to look at all my others. I think I contamed a jar by dicking with it.

Agreed.
Be sure that there is no uncolinised portions after birthing, if there is, cut it out with an alcohol wiped knife.
Having a loose jar lid will allow some air exchange to happen through the sides of the jar. This can be the cause of premature pinning. You only want gas exchange and a limited amount of it. 4 inoc holes are plenty for gas exchange.
