Well 4 of my jars, at 6 days of consolidation, were birthed and dunked lastnight!
They all looked and smelled fresh and wonderful! Descided to birth since I saw quite a few knots and several pins starting to form, and they were only a day away from the recommended 7 days. I know from what Ive read on here that invitro pinning isnt the end of the world, or even bad really, I just personally didnt want to dunk a bunch of sad looking pins.
Now I get to perlitify my SGFC when I get home from work, then roll these cakes and plop em in the chamber! Ill post pics of the SGFC tonight when its all set-up!

And here is my SGFC with 5" of wet perlite.


One question I have, since my 12 jars look like they'll be going into the chamber in about 3 or 4 small groups, as they become ready;
This evening I pull 4 of my cakes out from their dunk, roll them and plop em in the chamber.
Should I spread them out evenly? Keep the 4 kinda close to eachother on one side? Grouped up in the middle? Doesnt freakin matter?
Thanks!

It doesn't matter really. I usually just keep mine organize no matter how many are in their just for looks. BTW, that is one good looking SGFC!

Now with cakes!
1st 4 are in the SGFC.

I want to take vacation days so I dont have to leave them to go to work.
Also saw one of my other consolidating jars make a few in-the-jar pins, so he got dunked lastnight (was supposed to birth on the 14th). So they'll have a 5th in the chamber tonight.
2 more fully consolodated waiting for the 16th, or pins, and 5 slow colonizing Golden Teachers chuggin along doing their thing, waiting their turn.

So yesterday #5 came out from the dunk and I set him up in a nice little neighborhood.

and I wake up to this!

Going to be hard to stay at work for long today. I feel a half day, at best.

Typical. Barely signed the contract, and already the neighborhood has fungal problems... Can't be good for property value.
Congrats ^^

Thanks guys!
The only next thing Im a little leary on at this point is lighting.
I have a pretty big window with a sheer curtain right by the SGFC, and I put 2ea micro-mini Daylight CFLs in the ceiling fixture.
They are 6500K for the color, but only put out 800 lumens each.
Do you all think I should get a bigger "flood" light and position it closer to the tub?
Think the 2ea 800 lumen 65K CLFs + ambient will do just fine?

Well, sure the day I want to slip out of work early is the busiest day Ive had in a month, anyway get home and everything has doubled in size!
I mean, 2x hella-tiny is still tiny, but Im so freakin stoked so far!




And another of my consolidating jars who's 7 days is up tomorrow is just starting to pin in vitro today so, nice timing on that little guy. He'll be moving in Sunday after a Saturday dunk.
The other 2 that are consolidating are looking good and should birth on the 17th.
Of the 5 slow Golden Teacher jars, which are probably between 90% and 40% colonized (the low % ones only had 1 or 2 innoc points fluff up), two look like they'll be 100% soon, the other 3 are moving slow, but still look clean and, although slow, ARE still making progress so, fingers crossed!
I think if any stall out I will try n trim uncolonized parts and fruit outside, I dont know yet. I cant throw a rock in my backyard without hitting a mushroom of some kind, so it seems if this side of Carolina is good for anything, it's producing mushrooms heh.
