First grow pics (updated, more pics)

My friend just harvested his first PF cake, seems like a pretty good flush (121g wet). The syringe was sold as B+ but I notice the stems seem to be a bit hollow - does this suggest they're really PES Amazons?
Here's the cake the day before harvest

And here we are today

Seems like a good yield for a first flush on the first try?

Good looking cakes!

This has zero to do with the "strain". It's the particular genetics that decide weather a mushroom develops hollow or solid stems.
Certain isolates have the tendency to develop (mostly) solid stems, but can develop any shape and density you can imagine as well.
It doesn't matter if it's B+ or PESA. It's both Cubes and can't be differentiated by looking at them. Actually they can't be differentiated at all, cause it's the same species.

p. cubensis = hollow stems some stems are more dense than others.

That is a super nice 1st flush off of 1 cake! Its a 1/2 pint, right?
I've seen stems with varying thickness on the same cake but now that I think about it most shrooms in a cluster will have similar stem thickness.
I thought skinny weak stems was a consequence of high co2 levels?

Skinny and weak is not the same as hollow.

My friend did a dual-tub -- is that the correct terminology? -- with an aquarium heater to keep the temp up to 74F (it's cold in his house) with perlite and fitted a CPU fan into the side, wired up with a DC adapter and timer to do 15mins air exchange every 2 hours. Seems to work beautifully! We gathered from reading these forums that FAE and RH were key, and it seems like good advice so far.

Thanks! Yes, half-pint BRF (not even fresh-ground BRF for this first run) incubated in a plant 'propagator' (found at Homebase here in the UK).
The ventilation has been pretty good, so the stems don't seem weak. That one biggest mushroom had a really thick stem.

A belated update of my friend's first grow. I was out of town so I couldn't take pictures of the second flush of the cake above (apparently it was a funny flush with one big feller and some little'uns).
Before I left though, the second cake came along with an even bigger first flush (134g wet). The pins came from the bottom of the cake, in two rival gangs 
 
One gang was tougher than the other, so they got picked first. The second lot got an extra 24 hours:
  
The second flush from the second cake was kind of weak. It got an experimental Coke dunk after these were harvested, and looks ready to pin again:
 
The third cake from this batch never fully colonized, so it was crumbled and cased in 50/50 verm/coir. This is the beginning of its small second flush (missed the first one):
 
The first cake managed a little third flush today (23g wet) and has retired to a flowerpot outside:

That third cased cake came in with a little 2nd flush that was picked today. In the third pic, the biggest one is toppling over just from being jostled a little bit:
