TOO MANY SHROOMZ!!! (First Post) Noob? NO.

Figured I'd share my success with the community. This is my third shroom grow. My first was back in '98 when the Shroomery was still a small community. I've perfected things since.
So here's the setup: Five tier shelf wrapped in painter's plastic. Computer fan on top, which is sucking fresh air through a cut and doubled up furnace filter. Vicks cool-mist on the bottom shelf. Both the fan and humidifier are on a timer that kicks on for 15 minutes every 1 1/2 hours. Shop light on top.

I'm using Pennington's WBS in widemouth quarts. Soaked 36 hrs, rinsed, and capped with a lid with a 1/2 inch hole and postal Tyvex. PC'd 1hr. at 14-15psi. inoculated with spores from Ryche Hawk through the Tyvex and hole covered with Scotch tape.
Spawned to coir with old coffee grounds and a little gypsum. 2 jars go into each hospital puke tub and get mixed thoroughly (leaving big chunks). Just enough coir put on top so you can't see the spawn. Covered with foil and a fresh air hole added which is covered with Medipore (a porous, adhesive medical dressing). 5 days later (full colonization) they're uncovered and the Magic happens.
Cambodians:
   Why they have no separation this time is beyond me. But I like it. 
B+:
   Only one casing. It was a late one. These ones are all smaller. I had a bunch of B+ earlier and they all made very large ones like the one pictured. The large one is 188.5g wet. Biggest one I ever grew by over 100%.
Here's what I got today:
 Obviously not my first Cosmic Rodeo!

I always love it when I have to dehydrate in several batches because my Nesco can't come close to holding it all....
Nicely done! 
If your success rate on your WBS jars is 100% or close to, forget I said anything - but if not, I'd recommend increasing your PC times to 90 minutes.

100% every time. I did 90 minutes about 2 years ago in the beginning of my second grow and found that it was too long. Always ended up with burst grain on the bottom (with spacer) which would always stick together. 1hr. is definitely enough and moisture content comes out perfect every time.
I skipped the Nesco for these Cambodians. The trays are all in front of a box fan. I couldn't bring myself to break apart all the clumps.

Nice grow! I love Cambo's... my fav strain by far. That B+ is RIDICULOUS... very nice. Did you clone it or any others? Making prints I hope? Again, very nice

Thanks for the comments and encouragement people. Not making prints. I have mixed results when it comes to making my own syringes. Some work, others contaminate all the jars. Can't seem to get it perfect. I just order new syringes for each batch. Hawk's Eye has it down, never got a contaminated syringe (just one that didn't work out of 32 so far). $15 for a half pound of mushies? You won't catch me complaining.

Why only 5 days colonization? Obviously you are getting great results, but if you give it another week or more to consolidate and digest those goodies before fruiting, you might get even better yields.

He probably achieves such fast colonization times because it sounds like he's only using a small amount of bulk sub. "Just enough to cover the spawn so you cant see it." or something along those lines. And most people dont let bulk subs consolidate, although it could possibly help to improve yields. RR suggests using a consolidation time of at least two weeks, I believe. I personally dont see much of a difference between consolidating and not consolidating. But, whatever what works for you.

good job!
just a tip: hang that light vertical on the wall behind your greenhouse, the rest of your shelves are dark. unless youre only using the top shelf, in which case i dont know why your greenhouse is so huge. so do you mix the spawn with your sub? or are you just putting a layer on top? it kinda sounds like youre using the coir as an old school casing layer, instead of a bulk sub.

looks like it's time to build something that can accommodate your dehydrating requirements. There comes a time when your "nesco" reaches it's limit and you got to get creative with the possibilities

Brilliance! I love it! Did you make that from scratch, or did you adapt something else?
EDIT: Never mind. Closer examination provides the answer.

Hey! It looks like we had a very similar idea! Awesome! Love this thing. Does the space heater help dry them a lot quicker? cause i happen to have the same exact one...

As for the OP, great grow! Welcome to the Shroomery!
As for the 2 that have their home-made dehydrators, I'll be building one of those in a few months myself, can't wait as I refuse to buy any more 5-tray electric dehydrators... They run almost as much as my lights sometimes!
