Here's the monster i plucked today. It was one of only two mushrooms to show up for the second flush, but by weight was still pretty impressive for one cake imno.
  
I cut the stem in half to speed up the drying, and haven't seen any pics of this yet, so i figured i post one for interests sake.

I'll probably be updating this thread less and less now, as i get ready for my second grow. I will post a final weight, as well as any decent pics i might get from the next flushes.
Thanks to all you folks who helped me out...made a world of difference for me!

thanks man...i noticed in your sig you have the random sized perlite....did you have any issues with FAE? I sifted mine to get rid of some of the smaller pieces...seemed to work ok.

Nice mushroom man. You don't really need the chunky perlite. I bought a big bag of the Krum's perlite for like $30, which is probably enough for at least 5 grows without having to sanitize the perlite, just throwing it out. I fill up my sgfc and spray down the perlite with filtered garden hose water. Let it drain, then once you get it inside, use gloved hands to stir up the perlite real good so that it's nice and airy. I don't use a hygrometer and have had very good pinsets.

that's good to know. I just bought a 20lb bag myself, and was going to rig up a contraption for sifting it all. Last time, i just filled up my SGFC with water(perlite still in) and just mixed it around with my hand while all the little pieces fell through the holes...lost about 1/3 or so of it, and had to combine both fc's perlite to make one. One thing i did notice about my SGFC is that the holes are a little further than 2 inches apart which would more than likely interfere with the FAE...so i drilled about 5 or 6 more holes on the bottom in places i thought might need it. It wasn't intentional, i just figured i could eyeball the 2". There's something to be said for following the tek's to a "T"....fuckin things are dialed in man.
@cronicr, thanks bro...you're heavily responsible for much of my cultivation knowledge

For sure! Once you get things set and get your routine down they just kind of do their own thing without issues. I've been picking shrooms pretty much every 3-4 days once I got everything dialed in perfectly.
I haven't been on here in a week or so and I'm glad to see things are going well for you. Makes me want to update my thread lol.
Its exciting isn't it? CONGRATS MAN!
