So excited. One week till it hits the FC.
Suprisingly the other cakes are starting to take off in growth too. I was going to cut them up to agar, but I think i'll just wait.

This thread started out as a serious of questions in regards to the growth of my BRF cakes done in classic PF Tek style. Now It includes a lot of information a novice PC cultivator would be asking about their firs time PF Tek jars.
So I'll update the OP with all the pictures I have taken so far. Enjoy. Remember to search through the thread if you want more info about the pics posted. Otherwise have fun. The timeline for this grow is Inoculation on 12/22, with the pictures of most recent growth ending in 1/29. The "Strain" was AA+ (From my understanding a skower grower on average). It will be ready for the fruiting chamber 7 days from today which will be 2/5.
From beginning to end.
I used a combination of EvilMushroom666's Take on BRF Cakes "http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/15223324" and RR's Let's Grow Mushrooms Video (they are nearly identical guides) with two exceptions.
1: I used a Pressure Sterilizer instead of a simple cook pot.

& 2: I added Surgical Micropore Tape to the holes to help keep ant's or other insects out of the GE/Inoc holes.

The syringe from a trusted vendor. AA+ (No worries, Growing mushrooms fir personal use is legal in my state.)

With all this magic and a SAB. I had all the parts necessary for a successful grow.

Here were the results of my best cake, which is twice as colonized as the rest of what I have. First sign of growth, about a week in.

A little later.

A little more later.

A day's difference from the previous photo.

A little farther every other day.

Starting to touch the bottom. (Some weird boogery looking parts of BRF but all in all everything is ok.)

A fully colonized side. (Started to stall with the micropore on and the compacting of the BRF from so much touching. Had to remove the tape and loosen the lid shortly after this shot, fortunately it's winter and the ant's are not around.)

Four shots of the growth at about a month in.




Almost done a few days later. Primordia forming.





Growth today on the 29th.






With some little pins included.

See you in a week when it hits the FC. Thanks for all the help from everyone so far. Especially cronicr. 
And that's pretty much the end of this thread. I'll be updating my personal grow thread with the highlights and such once it's ready to go in the fruiting chamber. Hope this helps some newbs looking for BRF cake pics.

It still smells a lil' weird, i'm guessing from GE and some bacterial/cobweb like contaminates in the dry verm. But it's nothing gaggable, just not mushroom smell.
