Grow Updated (PIN PORN/FIRST FLUSH) 44 G wet

Well I inoculated the two jars that have grown on November 1st. I have had luck with Doc's WBS Tek. I only started 6 jars(Three BRF, some bullshit recipe, and two WBS) as this is my second grow and I had terrible luck the first time, but it was a rewarding experience. I have four more jars using the same tek and I have growth already in one of them. I'm just caking WBS as of right now, I will try tackling casings next hopefully.. And about the pics I know the water *was* too high in my FC I have lowered it. My temperature is between 68-75 at all times and my humidity fluctuates from 94-99%. I was wondering is the changes hurt any.. The one that is still in the container I was waiting to colonize a few more days, couldn't hurt! I dunked for 24 hours then I rolled. How does everything look to you? Thanks ahead of time and happy shrooming!
Updated!
Yup..

I just checked on my fc and within 4 hours I have two peachish pins growing! I am giving FAE about every two hours now and fanning somewhere in the range of 45 - 60 seconds. I just need to make sure humidity is high and keep them with plenty of FAE correct? Hopefully have pictures by tomorrow! Thanks in advance!

WELL! I once again have forgotten to get my friends camera..BUT I have two pretty good sized pins and I have about 19-21 small pins.. My question is.. will all of these mature at around the same time or will they mature in consecutive flushes? Anyways I'm so excited!..haha.. Victory is mine! Lonnie Edwin
P.S. My second cake still doesn't have any pins but I birthed it about 5 days after the other, so I'm assuming it will just take as long in fruiting conditions to show any pins. I have tons of knotting on both I think it's going to be a wonderful second grow!! Happy Shrooming!

I think you have found out for yourself that you are getting things right.
The small fluctuations in humidity wont be a problem, 95-99% RH is great.
The 2nd cake might take less time, or it might take longer. Just depends.
Im thinking of trying hydroton instead of perlite. I have 2 bublers and hydroton would be ideal, could sit the air curtains at the bottom :_)

Yeah, first successful grow is pretty exciting.. I have a much better pin set than what I figured I would have off of WBS cakes.. I have at least 35 pins..I will hopefully have pics but the camera I use says 7 Mega-pixels but I can't get it to take a decent close up at all. But anyways, thanks for the reply didn't know if I was going to get one..BUT now..I have about 5 large pins and roughly 25-30(may have double counted some) small pins.. now will all these "catch up" and have an even flush? I ask because..if they are all growing at different rates.. How do I know when to dunk again? Thanks in advance Veda!
I was using a bubbler but I have found this to be an annoying sound more than anything helpful.. I fan every two hours for about 45-60 seconds a pop and the mushies keep popping up..FAE as far as I can see is detrimental for pin set. I just hope they do not stall out but they are growing at a nice even rate..not too fast but not too slow either..

If pins keep popping up just let them develop, the flush will be over when no more shrooms are growing, then you can dunk. I usually get a few that get a head start on the rest, good news is, the early bloomrers tend to be biggies, on a previous cake 2 shrooms popped up very early and grew to 10 grams each
if they just seem to keep popping up and the flush never ends, and you suspect that the cake is drying out. Sit in a saucer of water to rehydrate.
there will be bound to be a few aborts, but as long as nothing hurts them they should be fine.

Excellent work. Pics like this make me happy to know that one day soon I too will see the fruits of my labor. Nice little fat ones. Kind of early to tell but looks like you might have some good candidates for cloning in the near future.

Cakes are great for the small hoby cultivator who wants to have fun growing various strains and produce a few shrooms for him/herself and some mates to have every now and then.
Not everyone wants to produce massive flushes all the time to then dry and store for later.
40 - 60 grams of shrooms from one cake aint to bad, if u got 8 cakes on the go, thats not a bad ammount.

Another question..the largest shroom I have..the brilliant white fuzz at the base turned blue. I tested for contam but it is not..as I suspected..Does this mean it is high in psycho actives? This is my prime candidate for cloning I believe! Anyways..hope you enjoy! Lonnie Edwin
The flat cake is pinning well but it doesn't look as promising..oh well!
I have some cakes almost 100% colonized. Going to spawn to Hpoo, I can get it by the truckload for free..;)
