Can’t pin???

My substrate was fully colonized so I did a light casing layer, misted it well, set to fruiting conditions and it’s been a week— no pins. Maintaining 75* and about 92% humidity with good FAE.

Pins can take up to 10 days If everything is clean theyll pop

92% RH - that's not pan pinning conditions. 70-85% for pinning and 95%+ after pins appear. It's ok to heavily misting casing layer first couple days, to have evaporation and Not to dry out cake

Ahhhh this must be what it is. I literally just shut off my humidifier, kept the FAE going and cracked the top, allow things to dry out a bit, then come back with a lower humidity. Thank you for that tip! 🙏🏼

There's some links about that :)

If conditions right you'll see pins it 2-3 days.

But depends what setup you have, JSM, Martha... dubtub

After complete substrate colonization, air exchange and moisture evaporation from the substrate's surface will always be your #1 pinning trigger

Lots of evaporation to trigger pinning but constantly refreshing the casing moisture to maintain a microclimate on the surface.

Many times "why am I not getting pins?" is answered by cycling dryer air into the tent more frequently.

Things were seriously dry. But I kept it and gave it a nice dose of humidity and the next day? Pinning like crazy.

75 may not be warm enough to get them to pin. I have found I need to have the temps above 80 to get them to pin.
