 Psilocybe cubensis "Puerto Rican" Popcorn on sawdust/cow manure *completed*

I thought I'd update on some pictures I'd posted in the advanced forum a while back. The strain is Puerto Rican.
Two quarts of popcorn spawn:
2 Quarts of Popcorn and a pint of rye grain were spawned to a mixture of straw/sawdust (species unknown)/cow manure in a ratio of 20/40/40:
After 5 days of colonization:
After letting the substrate colonize for a few more days it was cased with 50/50+ casing mix and put in the fruiting chamber.
four days after pinning:
10 days:
14 days:
Some harvested fruits (picked pre-veil tearing, these were not "worthy" of printing or cloning  ):
Happy growing

Yeah, I have the same scale and it won't weigh past 100 grams.

I wish, nope, that's only 71 grams.
>Yeah, I have the same scale and it won't weigh past 100 grams.
Unless you of course make it start at -100, which gives you a weighing
capacity of 200 grams 
Here's another picture, I may post some more tonight.
Notice the 'scaling' or tearing of the cap. This is normally caused by low humidity, but in this case it seems to be a trait of the strain. I've seen this in other grows (Puerto Rican strain of course) the cap seems to stay convex while maturing. When the cap does try to flatten out however the cap tears.
Peace & Love

Nice trick. I've never really had a need to try to measure more than 100 grams at a time because I don't weigh wet and the tray is too small to weigh big heaping piles of dry shrooms.

Very true, I also have a scale I normally use for determining moisture content in grains (came with my industrial dehydrator) goes up to 600 with a huge tray/bowl. My grows are personal size, as you can see, so I never really need it.
Also, you can use larger trays/bowls, just make sure to set the scale to zero.
Here's some more pictures:
(Close-up of a previous picture)
Caps 8 days or so into growth:
Caps on the 15th and last day of growth:
It has two stems! 
Total harvest weight for the first flush was 450 grams wet.
A few mushrooms from the cluster pictured were cloned, and some prints were ofcourse taken.
Casing was dunked overnight and put back into the fruiting chamber for a second flush.
 Peace & Love Erik006
