*COMPLETED* Many jars, one goal (update 4/2)

A friend of mine is somewhat new to growing, this is actually his fourth attempt, but each previous time got ruined by contams, paranoia, or general bad luck. Anyway, this time he's got a much more secure location to use, and he's going with a lot more jars. Also, this time all the jars will be cased, instead of fruiting PF style. On 2-23-03 he innoc'd 20 jars with EQ and 8 jars with Treasure coast, then on 2-27-03 did 10 jars of PES Hawaiian and 8 Lipa Yai. This may seem excessive, but with the luck my friend has had in the past, he expects to lose quite a few Here's a pic of the incubator, and a few of the jars from the first batch. This is about the average for the whole first batch, the second just starting to show signs of colonization. Luckily, no contams yet, i'm keeping my fingers crossed on my friend's behalf. Update 3/04 Well, no new pics of these jars yet, but here's some pictures of attempt #3, which is still in progress. Started with 8 jars, got knocked down to this by icky green stuff. But hey, a few pins to hold us over till this next try finishes up. 3/10 update, seven EQ casings and two TC casings. Each is 1 pint of colonized BRF with a coco/verm casing layer. Fun! Pins within a couple weeks, my friend hopes. 3/12 update, here's some pics of the casings. A couple were found to have the beginnings of cobweb, all suspect material was removed with a sterilized spoon and the area sprayed with diluted h2o2. Hopefully the stuff won't come knocking again. 3/15 update Five more casings have been made, this time with 3 1/2 pint BRF jars per tray. Also, they were given plastic lids with holes instead of saran wrap, as the saran wrap kept the humidity too close to the casing and was likely the cause of cobweb. Here also are some pics of the existing casings, patched a bit This is day 22 of the grow, starting from the making of the first batch of jars. I'd say my friend is doing alright 3/22 update. Here's some pictures of the beginnings of pins, hopefully some shroom pics within a week. 3/24 We have PINS! Woohoo This is only pics of a couple casings, there are 15 total that are at this stage of development. Next weekend = good weekend 3/25 HOLY EXPLETIVE BATMAN! Look at em go! 3/26 Well, the previously featured exploding TC casing has come to fruition My friend pulled 84.6 wet grams off this single tray, there are another 14 trays like this one that are nearing completion of their first flush, and another 17 trays that just came out of incubation. Also, there is a total of 9 pints of rye colonizing, which will be used to spawn a few bulk trays, but that'll be another log So with no further ado, the pics! 3/27 More harvest, 5 casings now out of 15 that have been pinning, and there are a total of in fruiting chambers right now. This weekend a bioassayment will be performed, and results will be posted Dry weights will be posted once they're dried. 4/2 Final Update The first flush yielded over 130 dry grams, the second flush is on the way. Things are going smoothly but my friend is too busy with life to manage anymore pictures. So, I'll sum it up by saying things went well

Standard PF substrate, just BRF, verm, and water. The heater is a double rubbermaid with water and a submersible heater in the bottom, and that funny plastic thing sitting on one of the jars in the first pic is a remote temperature and humidity sensor, that records max and min values as well.
Yeah, she's got some nice tits... *drool*

Hmm, now what to do while I wait for these jars to colonize?

What is that cocoon looking thing next to your lighter? I hope you aren't thinking about smoking a cigarette. My mommy said that cigarettes are bad. Especially when "gosh darn hoodlums" (sorry for my bad words) put "hemp" in them. I really hope you arent doing that or ... EEEEEEE

I just heard that the second batch of jars are showing initial signs of colonization. Not bad, 4 days in. I think my friend got some healthy syringes! Props to Lil' Shop of Spores

Funny you should mention grains... my friend will be shooting up some rye very shortly, and he has quanities of dung, straw, and coco coir he's needed to get rid of And I'm going to get involved once we have a flush, I've been wanting to take a crack at agar work, so the best fruits from these jars will be cloned into our 2nd round of bulk trays. BTW, when I say my friend is doing this, i'm serious I tutored him, cause I have nowhere to grow myself, and while this is a joint effort, I'm mostly supplying knowledge, he's doing all the work.

Sounds like your friend will be a very lucky lad indeed, as long as he can maintain sterility and growth variables. How much dung does your friend plan on using?

Well, he seems to be taking care of things right now. I taught him to be anal about keeping things clean We're building a glovebox for the agar, but that'll be another thread.
As for how much dung, well I don't know, but I'll post when I do.
