first post and first bulk grow 1

hey everyone, long time lurker, first time poster here. i've done a few pf tek grows so far with reasonable success so i decided to try my hand at a bulk grow
i made up 12 quarts of wbs per doc's tek, with some coffee and gypsum thrown in the soak. i knocked up half with PE and half with equador and let colonize. after about 3 weeks, i spawned the jars to 2 monotub/shotgun style chambers using about 12 quarts coir and 6 quarts verm per tub. i forget the capacity of the tubs but they are about 24" x 14" and my sub filled it up around 4"
here's a few pics of my pe tub
yesterday afternoon
 
and today
   
it's amazing what they can do in 24 hours
those balls appeared about the same time as my equador was pinning and i was worried that that was all i'd be getting for the first flush, then a few days later, BAM! those fuckers shot up everywhere. pretty damn cool...
here's a few pics of the equador tub right before harvest
 
got an eighth short of a qp dry. i was expecting less weight but the stems were super thick compared to my pf grows, so that was a pleasant surprise. can't wait to see how my pe does considering there are far more shrooms and they seem to be growing faster than these did
anyways, i thought i'd share some of what you guys have helped me to accomplish. thank you very much and i hope you like the pics

yeah, i'm wondering if it could be because i exposed it to fresh air before it was fully ready? or maybe just too much airflow/not enough humidity at the edges? either way, i'm happy. some of those balls are the size of golf balls
@ esquaredx - it was even more badass in person. i've never seen mushrooms so big in person. some of those were almost 30g wet
@ grim420 - yes

PE look pretty gnarly! Any reason why you didnt case? Im on my 4th bulk grow and am gonna try to see if casing gives me a more even flush. Cheers and GL. Thanks for the pics!

I didn't case because I've seen a lot of people on here saying you don't need to case with cubes. Also, if I were concerned about getting an even flush, I probably wouldn't have started with multispore.
I mist and fan when I wake up, when I get home from work and if it looks a little dry, I'll mist again before bed. Sometimes my g/f fans a few times during the day if she doesn't have work, otherwise it gets 2-3 fannings w/ no mist between getting home and going to sleep.

Very nice first bulk! I had issues with my first 2 attempts due to crappy setup, but I'm looking forward to my first successful bulk grows :-)
Great job!

A little update for y'all:
   
This is like, an overwhelming number of mushrooms. I'm not sure how I'm gonna get my hand in there to start picking them when the time comes. Speaking of which, I'm not really sure when to harvest these. The caps are really starting to flare out even though most of them are only 1.5-2 in tall, but the area where the veil should be isn't getting all gnarled and bumpy yet like I see on a lot of people's PE. Is that the preferred time? Or should I just wait till I see a light dust of spores on the caps like I do with 'normal' cubes?

Check out that thread, prof is the master of penis! He'll let you know! PE doesn't really drop spores, so if you can't find the answer, shoot him a PM
