9/13/2013: PESA's are flushing beautifully =] Kinda small fruits though, I was hoping for bigger =/ Is there a way to prolong their growth and get them nice and fat and tall? This flush was only 43.5 grams wet =`[

Wow, those are tiny. That's the smallest I've seen other than a little guy I had grow on an agar plate once. Those little guys are kinda cute!
Size is genetics + conditions. There's no way to 'prolong' growth beyond what you get from good genetics and ideal conditions.
For the genetics, try another MS inoculation, and then clone the largest and first appearing fruits, and try a batch using the clone. You also might have luck with subsequent fruits from the same substrate. If this was an MS inoculation (looks like it based on your other posts), there's a good chance some of the fruits will have a different phenotype and if you're lucky, be bigger. Cross you fingers and that cake might yet produce.
For the conditions, dial that shit! Stamets is the classic reader on the topic. Looks like you're running a spec SGFC, so you're probably close to nailing it already. Just in case, here are the basic points: - Go bulk, or at least get bigger jars. - Add horse manure to your recipe - Use a casing layer - Ensure adequate nutrients in substrate (including a source of sulfur, such as gypsum) - Correct incubation/prepinning/pinning/fruiting parameters (temperature, humidity, FAE)
These are all somewhat contentious, so be advised that there are 1000 differing opinions on how to boost yields. People swear by all kinds of stuff - adding coffee, thicker/thinner casings, using different substrates... but the 5 above are the ones that seemed to make a difference for me.

Thank you for the info! Yes I am absolutely doing a bulk grow next, done with cakes. I'm getting some big fruits on the other cakes, I'm going to clone those. Thanks for the advice!
