Pan Cyan Jamaica Grow Log ( Panaeolus Cyanescens ) 5

Hi,
I finally got around to trying my luck at Panaeolus Cyanescens. I am working with the Jamaica strain. Little background, I've been growing cubensis for a few years now so I have a bit of experience, but these guys aren't that hard to grow if you pay attention to detail.
I started the spore print on agar to ensure the culture was clean. I transferred from there to WBS jars. Once they were colonized, I made up my substrate. The substrate consisted of 50/50 hpoo/verm. I then spawned the WBS to the sub at a 1:1 ratio with a depth of 1.5-2 inches into small aluminum baking pans.
After the trays colonized, I applied the casing layer (50/50+) about 1/4" - 1/2" deep. As soon as I saw mycelium breaking through the casing, which took 24-36 hours @ 75f, I tossed it in a SGFC. The SGFC with 3-4" of perlite, maintained 95-100% humidity at 72-75f, I didn't fan much initially. I just raised the lid 2-3 times a day and sprayed the walls very softly so the mist didn't spray to the trays.
Once I saw the tiniest pins, which took somewhere around 5-7 days, I put the SGFC into my closet and upped the temp to 80-82f. The humidity fluctuates between ~85-100% but usually stays around 90-95%. There is a coolmist running continuously in the 5' x 5' closet, along with an oscillating fan that is 3' from the tubs, and is pointing away. Whenever I think about it I go in, raise the lid, hold the fan over the tub, and air them out, maybe 5-6 times daily. Then I mist the walls very softly again, making sure no mist gets on the pins. My goal is just to raise the humidity back up from the fanning.
These guys are growing like crazy. They're definitely not going to be monsters, but they aren't meant to be.

hi, told you guys they grow fast!  the first picture is of tub 1, second is tub 2, third and fourth are the same tray from roughly the same angle as posted 24 hours ago.
enjoy!

update 3/16/11
well everything's looking pretty good. the more developed trays will most certainly be harvested within 24 hrs. i know they're ready now, just gonna give them a little longer to develop more weight and for the smaller guys to mature. the second and third pics are the same trays from the first set of pics. yep 48 hrs difference is quite incredible with these guys.
enjoy the pics!

update! harvest and comparison to cubes
these guys are tiny and weightless. the smallest bag off to the bottom right in the most zoomed out picture is only a quarter oz. in the bag on the bottom left is a little more than a half oz. crazy tiny but i'm certain they'll be well worth their lack of size
here are a few pics of them before drying, almost dried, and beside a bag of dried cubes for size comparison. enjoy!

Very good. 
Would be thinking of taking a few pinhead clones from one if not all of those clusters.

Thanks guys. Oh yeh definitely going to clone and isolate. Can't wait to try them. I'm going on a 100 mile hike in a week or two and at my halfway point, I'm going to wake up and drop about 3 or so grams. Oh yeh I'm going by myself. Wisdom is certainly in store, thanks in advance fungus lords for your bountiful blessings. (oops just sounded like a preacher)

Very nice, midway through my first run at Pan Cyans myself so your thread is inspiring. What size is your sgfc if you dont mind me asking?

of course not, that's why i've tried to be as thorough as possible, the dimensions of the tub are 20" W * 13" L * 12" H, the label is facing the wrong way but the volume is almost identical in size to my other 56 quart tubs. there are 4 trays in each tub (running 2 tubs) so a total of 8 aluminum trays. the alum trays are 8.5" W * 4" L * 2.5" H. feel free to ask any questions you have. i'm as excited growing these as i was when i began growing cubensis! love it
oh yeh the holes on the SGFC are the standard 2" apart on all 6 sides.
get excited! these guys grow very fast!

Me likey 
have been wanting to branch out from cubes... (currently working PE clones, which is great fun) but choosing between Pan Cyan and a stone-producer has been a chore...
I think I'll just go with both and see where that gets me, lol
Great job on the write-up BTW
 if you do take some prints eventually, I'd be more than interested

Very cool looking DZ. Looks like it wasn't hard at all for you. Pay attention on that hike. I hear 3 grams of these will certainly lift you up. Nice job on the grow

thanks guys. nah im talkin 3 grams dry, i'm fine with never being the same lol. i've made it through ~10 grams of dried cubensis, and that was in my apartment. i think outdoors this will be a day of perfection.

i think if youre on 10 g cubes you cant tell the difference between indoors and outdoors anymore.

well, good luck to you sir.

haha love the 'smiley'!
the funny thing was i've tripped just as hard as i did on the ~10 gram as when i've taken 2-3 grams.
i made 5 gram tablets by compressing ground mushrooms with my resin press and took two of them. just recently i made a tea with 140 grams of fresh cubes into ~8 oz pink lemonade mix (which i must say, kills nearly all shroom flavor), and drank it all. this was what i would consider my first level 5 trip, even though i've tripped uncountable times; unfortunately, it wasn't a good one. i blame it on bad environment so it's all good, (girlfriend arguin and shit) but it was absolute insanity. For at least an hour i rambled to myself about words and unwords... ie. "i finally know why i like stuff.. because i don't unlike it" i think i did this with every set of opposing words i could think of. and at one point i was walking from side to side of my apartment, thinking i was going to do somethin at the other side, but when i got there couldn't remember what, so i went back. pretty crazy because this went on for quite a while.
i also used to make capsules with with my capsule maker, and had the same experience. no matter how much i ate, i didn't get as 'up' as when chewin them up. perhaps it is just coincidence but i've had the same turnout everytime, besides the tea (which i chopped up and didn't grind); chewing them up, compared to grinding and ingesting, results in a stronger trip by weight. wonder if this is the same for everyone or just me?
thanks again guys/gals, i'll keep this updated. harvest could potentially be tomorrow, if not for certain they'll be dunked in 48 hours.
