How do i maximize my pins??

Im not really understanding this pinning thing. Im just going by the method i saw on youtube. The let's grow mushrooms. Anyways i thought all you need to do is get the mycelium to full colonization then give it an extra week, birth, dunk n roll, then FC. An then theyll produce fruit. Now what im confused about is getting a good pinset. Do i need to expose my fully colonized jars to light to get them to start pinning first. See, i thought when you put the cakes in the FC that would initiate the pins and all that noise. Help me out...

First and most important pinning trigger is Fresh air exchange. So fan a couple times a day.
Secondly is light. I had light on 12-13 hours a day and light off for the rest. I've heard that direct sunlight for 10 minutes a day will make a much better pinset.

What sort of FC do you have?
Always remember to fan and mist often, keeping the humidity at 95-99% and air exchange sufficient.

when colonizing you use GE(gas exchange)only(holes in jar lids with some sort of filter like verm or micropore tape etc.), then when you birth and do the dunk and roll, you expose to all other pinning triggers #1 is full colonization then a week wait for consolidation. #2 is FAE(frequent air exchange) #3 keeping temps stable around 70-78F and #4 humidity @ 95+. #5 is light 12hrs on/off.
so once you have fully colonized cakes wait 1 week then birth, dunk and roll, then place in your FC exposed to all other factors. then its up to the shroom gods to do the rest. just keep an eye on your humidity and temps. you can never give too much FAE as long as you dont lose humidity.
12hrs indirect sunlight is best if available, 5 min of direct is recommended for good pinset but no more than 5 min a day or your substrate will dryout too fast. RR has said this several times on other threads. but watch your temps in sunlight.
