First grow/First harvest! PF-Tek. Start to finish. :)

So I finally decided to harvest today. It took a total of 5 weeks from start to finish and I have 5 more cakes that are pinning like crazy. This cake was the first to pin and is a few days ahead of the others it seems. I picked about 70% of the mushrooms on it so far and ended up with 48 grams wet. There are still pretty many pins and younger mushrooms left to pick and I feel pretty happy with the yield so far.
I don't plan on eating any of these things but my friends will benefit from my success... I just wanted to give growing them a shot and I have fallen in love with the hobby. Monotub coming soon. 
Jars at 16 days:

First pins!

Soon ready!

Harvest time! (7 of the larger ones were picked before picture was taken I wanted some nice prints before the spores dropped and I forgot to snap a picture in my haste. Can also see the bluing in the areas where they were clipped from the base.)

Oh. Front and back pics of cake with the best pinset. Pretty happy with this one :O


By the way. They're Tapalpa. Follow the Tek and you WILL succeed. I took a few short cuts, but I also used my head... and had great success on my first try.
Thanks for taking the time to check this out. Any feedback is appreciated.

48 grams from the first flush from one cake, and there are still more mushrooms and pins growing! The first time I picked 7 mushrooms and they weighed 29.3 grams. Next I picked 10 that were smaller than the first group and they weighed 18.5 grams. Slightly under 48

Im using a shotgun FC. I have it propped up on some bricks with about 3 inches of verm on the bottom. I mist and fan 4-6 times a day. FAE and humidity seem fine even though the FC is crammed in the back of my closet...
