Stalled mycobag cake in FC

So i have had this cake in the FC for about almost 3 weeks now. Its Treasure Coast PC and im using a PMP setup. Perlite airstone and pump, the whole deal. Humidity stays at 93 according to the Hygrometer , could be higher but i dont know how accurate it could be considering it is a digital one . Its the 60-1032 from Radioshack where i happen to work at. Temperatures on average stay between about 68-70 F. The lightsource is a fluoro tube above the container Now I have been doing everything as perfectly as possible. Fanning three times a day,light is on a 12/12 schedule and i mist every so often to make sure there is ample moisture in the air. Why am I not seeing any pins?. It doesnt make sense to me at all and i cannot figure it out, anybody have any ideas? BTW i searched and searched for answers and did not come up with anything reasonable. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

It is drying out, that is why no fruits. You need RH 99% to do bare cakes. Dunk the block in clean water overnight. Then while still wet, roll in dry vermiculite till outside is completely covered. Plop back in FC and mist the dry verm heavily. Wait an hour and mist heavily again until it is saturated.
You need more perlite at the bottom, that is why you cant get RH high enough. At least 4-6" for a tub that size. Digi hygrometers suck.

Problem is that i believe there wouldnt be enough room for the cake to grow well if i added any more perlite. Im going to invest in a bigger tub and get more perlite. I will take your advice on the dunk and roll. Hopefully this gets saved [:

Id say its also possable that the center of the cake was still colonizing, it looks like maybe it just finished up and is getting ready to fruit, because thats what mine always look like before fruiting.

Im just crossing my fingers and hoping this cake doesnt fail me. At worst i will just dunk and roll and keep waiting and following procedure. Patience is the hardest part [:

I was wondering if i could still case this if i wanted to and would that be more effective than just fruiting a giant cake. Feedback appreciated

If you just case the cake by itself i doubt your yeild will be effected, at least in my experiance it will just delay your fruiting. Just be patient and fruit it in my opinion.
To me the only point of crumbling a cake is to spawn it to bulk. But everyone has there own way of doing things. But i see a lot of knotting and it looks to me like if you treat her nice you will have a nice brick of fruits in the next week. Just be patient man

if you look at the picture closely.. you can see primordia forming at on pic three... more humidity more fresh air. That should be literrally covered with mushrooms.. watch RRs videos... PF Tek 1... make your FC like his.. holes all over.... fresh air is the culprit.

Its back in the FC but i didnt feel like rolling this thing. Hopefully the 23 hour dunk gives it a bost and I added some perlite and drilled some more holes and will fan a little bit more for better FAE. As for the 2 cakes i have i have them in little mini terrariums just for the fun of it. Thank you everyone for your input. Will post pics of any updates i suppose.

I'm curious as to why you took it out of the bag in the first place? most of the time when you buy or make a bag, its to be fruited in the bag. that way you don't have to worry about the Rh, and as far as fresh air, the filter patch provides enough.
did you buy that or make it? if you made it, what is it comprised of? what strain is it? bags are about all i ever make anymore. its a set it and forget it thing. try to keep as much Fae to it as you can.
i see your using a digital hydrometer. switch to a analog, or whatever their called, because the digital ones are not really that reliable, in my personal experience, Ive see up to a 15% difference between the 2 at the same time.
how big is that fc? is the air pump that you got, big enough for it? thats the same setup i use. i have 2 56 qt fcs, and use 1 60 gallon air pump with 1 air stone, and one hose with non thing on the end of it, in each fc, and it works perfect. maybe the temp was 2 low, and it jus took it a lil bit longer than normal to pin.

Took it out of the bag because i got bored of watching it haha. Its a grain and vermiculite based bag that i purchased from mycofactory. Should have probably cased it but for this grow i did not really have the time to do it. The digital hygrometer does suck yes but to be honest the humidity seems to be doing perfect now that i put more perlite in and drilled a few more holes. FAE is my top priority with it. I fan it in conjunction with using the air pump. The size is the same as yours a 60 galon with one airstone and the terrarium size is a 30qt rubbermaid container. The lid was cut out in the middle so the fluoro tube could pass through nice and easily. Digi hygro is reading 98% so i dont even worry now. As for why they took so long to pin, i would love to know haha, but all i care is that it actually happened. My next grow i wanna do a bulk grow but i dont know exactly where to start. Any suggestions would be awesome.
