results of my recent mini-bucket (WBS to coir/coffee)

I've been patently watching my bucket grow (otto style) over the last few weeks and the time finally came tonight for it to be harvested!!
first some info: innoced a quart of WBS and waited for it to colonize.
when it was time i made my bucket by drilling 4 holes around just below the rim, then 2 about 4" up the bucket on opposite sides. and filled the holes with some poly fill.
then kinda layered and mixed the colonized quart of WBS with 2 quarts of coir/coffee (mostly coir, just dumped in what was in the coffee filter that day, prolly 1/3 a quart total) and put a shower cap over the bucket... and waited.
a few days ago pinns appeared and this followed:
207.4g wet aprox, so should dry to about 3/4oz i highly recommend this method. very easy, just mix it up and kinda forget it until harvest, just kidna give it a little air by moving the shower cap up and down like a lung. on retrospect though, the soil was a little dry at harvest time... maybe could have used a spraying or 2 along the way.
also, is this fluffy mycellium of cobweb? it was all over the bottom of the bucket and the bottoms of the stems.
(the bare spots are where shrooms were for the most part) thanks for reading

I'm not sure that's cobweb - looks more like spores all over your mycellium... Good job on the grow!

I wasnt talking about the spores, just the fluffyness of the white part, looks a little too fluffy for mycellium... but it's prolly fine.

ya, the sub felt dry when i harvested... i think its better now :P
havent gotten a dry weight yet, but as i said was 207.4g wet, so should dry to about 3/4oz.
not 100% sure of the strain, but im pretty sure its GT (came from a print from my last grow of B+ and GT... but they got mixed up. there seems to be some nice genetics in there though.)
I would def say that anyone considering a bucket to give it a go!! they dont take up much room at all, and need almost no daily care. id say the most work involved is prepairing the grains for the spawn...
also this bucket wasnt even a 5 gallon that most people doing the bucket method seem to use, it was just a bucket from the dollar store. about 9" high and 9" around the top (tapers)

just got dry weight... 16.8g :/ so a little over 1/2oz. a little less then i expected, but not too bad i suppose. no hollow stems like in the past though :P
EDIT: ground and packed into 28 gel caps(and i pack mine fairly tight)... so about 6 medium doses so someone could trip once a week or so in the time it takes for another bucket to grow. and with the space one of these take up, anyone can do it.

My monobucket is going pretty nicely too. I spawned 10 half pint cakes to 3 qts on coir verm coffee mix in a 5 gal with 2 1 inch holes at substrate level, 4 at top with a shower cap.Hawaiian strain. Working like a champ! I can't say how much it's kicked out, but must be at least 1/2 oz.
More seem to be coming pretty strong still. I didn't really get as pronounced of flushes as some folks seem to get (I think I initiated fruiting conditions a little early). But it's kicking out a nice steady procession on stocky fatties as long as I'm keeping it hydrated.
I got lazy and didn't line with a bag though, so I'm getting lot's of side pins. They're kinda a pain to pick, and they pick up a little more of the coir, but they're ok.
