First Time Growing!

I'm a newbie here, I followed the PF-Tek using BRF and vermiculite. The strain I'm using is B+, did everything as clean as possible.
Here are my babies so far, they are still incubating.

What do you guys think? The time lapse is 14 days since incubation. Can't wait for my babies to go to my fruiting chamber. I'll keep you updated.

These look Great, but the large containers will take longer to fully consolidate than smaller ones, so be patient, being "patient" is the key word in this hobby.
You are on the right path, Welcome

Thank you guys! Pretty excited to start here .
Yeah, patience and care, im growing fond of my sweeties.
Didn't mention those are a bit smaller than 1/2 pint. Just got some Kerr 1/2 pint today for the next time. Trying to find vermiculite, since its pretty hard to get it on my city.

I had zero signs of growth until day 7-8.
Now they are just growing pretty fast compared to how they started.
Keep us all updated my friend.

We're 1st growing at the same time! Dec. 9th and G.Teachers for me. It's been seven years since I've done this.  Wait until you see your very first cap. Magical moment, like Christmas day at 7.

Hello guys!
Been a week after my last picture, got the new ones. Threw a baby away since it got contaminated, green mold. The other 3 are looking strong as they are almost full growth in mycellium. I'll let them sit another week before birthing them.
Timelapse by now has been 3 weeks since inoculation.
Here are the pictures.
Contaminated baby:

The other 3 sweet mycellium:

I would love to hear from you all. TY for the support.

I wouldn't think there's any need to bottom water, fill it with water dump it out a day later and you should be fine

Hey guys!
Out of teh 3 that were left, 2 dried out, had no idea that heating mats suck.
Ended up with only 1 cake left. Just not sure if it got contam or if its ok. Placed some pics on comtam forum and only 1 answer saying its bruising. I believe it is since it has gotten worse, probably for over touching the cake. My bad.
Anyway, here it is in its terrarium all by itself. I'm inoculating 5 1/2 pint cambodian babies later tonight.
Enjoy and pls comment .

You used a heating mat, like a reptile heating pad? What type of heating pad you used. Although I haven't tried it yet, I have always thought a reptile heating pad would work wonders. I wouldn't think at a heat source like a heating pad would dry things out

Cakes will bruise blue if they are dehydrated. You might want to dunk that cake again for 24 hours.
