My First Grow (Grow Log) w/Pictures

Here are some nice pictures of my first, and successful grow!
5/22 9 quart jars were prepped using Frank's WBS prep method. Inoculated with about 1ml each Multi-Spore Golden Teacher. 3 were lost to contamination because apparently a red hot needle will melt a nice hole in tyvek. I now cool the needle by slowly pushing out solution until I hear no sizzle. Plus I use these lids now, that I made from TL's lid tek but with plastic lids.

6/12 10 quarts of substrate were pasturized using Frank's Proper Pasteurization Tek 3.0 in jars and allowed to cool over night.
6/13 A 66 quart tub was spawned following Frank's Bulk Spawning Tek with 6 fully colonized jars.
6/14 The very next day this is what it looked like.

I really think the grain dunk gave it a nice boost.
About 8 days later I introduced it to fruiting conditions and stuffed the bottom 4 holes tight with poly-fill and the top 2 loosely
Over the next 4 days the ring of evaporation around one top hole got bigger and bigger until the entire side had no visible condensation, and is why the following pictures are clear. This is also the side the circulating air is blowing towards (but not directly) I stuffed that sides top hole a little tighter but it never gained back the moisture until later which is strange.
6/25 The first pin is visible

6/26

6/27

6/28

6/29

6/30

7/1

I like how the have nearly doubled in size in just one day.
Notice how all these pics are clear, there's still no condensation on the side that these pictures were taken.
7/2
Again they have doubled in size and are ready to harvest in my opinion. I was definitely not expecting them to look like this when I checked on them today.
I was planning to harvest after the first veil broke but I was not expecting them to look like this.
Now the condensation is covering that side, I don't no if that is from the growing process where the mushrooms give off moisture at this stage

Look at these beauties!




I took a spore print from one of the smaller than average mushrooms and plan on doing a trial of 6 separate strains with agar. Wish me luck!

If condensation is accumulated more on side of incoming air flow, I would rotate 180* everyday. I began doing this because mine were the same way. I noticed a lack of pins on that less condensated side. After I began rotating the tub, pins started to pop up on that side. Maybe it's just a coincidence but I think that side was just evaporating to fast on the casing layer. Just my opinion.

Thanks insanemike, that makes sense, I was wondering why the one side didn't have as many pins on that side.
