Whats your RH?
What are you using for RH?
How long have they been in the FC?
If you just put them in there less than a week you won't notice pinning.
Pinning normally starts about 2-3 weeks after birthing.

I suggest to leave the cakes to start pining in the jars, then you won't have this problem.

How long has it been since full visible colonization? If you birth hem too fast, they won't pin soon, since mycelium isn't ready yet.
