I made my first attempt at growing. I have read up on just about everything I could. I used a tasmanian strain. I was told there were pretty good for visuals, is there another strain that might also be very visual? I did 10 cakes although one got contaminated. They produced a little over 60 grams wet, still have them drying. There are a few rather large ones too. Is that good for the first time? I re soaked them overnight and but them back in the terrarium. Will this second flush produce more or less? Is there anything I can do better to ensure a higher yield? Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions!

Each trip, aside from each strain, will produce different effects visually. The first flush can be little short sometimes. Just wait for the next few flushes. The 2nd and 3rd flushes should be nice and thick, while the 4th and final flushes will resemble the first or less. Good job dunking them and don't be afraid to limit your dunking time from 24 hours to 12 hours or so during the last few flushes.

That we will need it for something. Maybe just to think our way out of the mess that we're getting into.

visuals questions go in the psychedelic experience section
60 grams wet is really shitty for 9 cakes if you figure only 7 grams wet per cake, thats like 1 shroom.
second may produce more or less based on if you did a multi spore, isolate, and varies on the strain.
you can mist them regularly and provide enough air exchange in the fruiting chamber, using a 6500k color temp light helps too.
it seems like you didnt do anything to trigger pinning.
read more on this forum about pinning and FAE and you may have a better yield on the second flush and subsequent grows.
