Size of B+ at harvest 1

Hey guys! I am going through my first grow experience and just have a quick question. What is the average size of B+ when they are ready to harvest? Its pretty hard for me to tell in other peoples pictures but from what I can tell is that they are ready to pick right before the veil breaks. Mine little guys just seem so...little.

You have no holes in your fruiting chamber. It needs holes in all 6 sides in a 2" grid. The lack FAE- and probably don't benefit from humidity fluctuations. Also, did you let them consolidat for 7 days after 100% colonization ?

Those arent out of the ordinary for multispore cakes. A little on the small side, yes. But still acceptable.
Make sure your cakes stay hydrated and you provide plenty of fresh air. Most other factors will be attributed to genetics.
I bet the fruits on the next flush are a little bigger, they usually are.

B+ can be anywhere from 1inch to over 12 has 0% to do with the name and everything to do with conditions and strain. Every two successful spores to mate is a strain. A cake has 100s if not 1000s of strains working together if you clone or isolate you can get a very good performance strain of the variety b+ but the name of a variety hardly means shit.

I did not let them sit after the jars were fully colonized! I guess I missed that step =/ I realize I need holes in the sides but I don't have a drill at the moment. This was pretty much just a fun little experiment that I have been thinking of doing for awhile! =)

If you have a screwdriver and a flame you can get holes.

Not bad for an experiment, just imagine what you can do when you're really working at it
-------------------- With my feet upon the ground I lose myself, between the sounds and open wide to suck it in. I feel it move across my skin. I'm reaching up and reaching out. I'm reaching for the random or whatever will bewilder me. Whatever will bewilder me. And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been. We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been. Spiral out. Keep going...

I always seen skinny little premature ejaculator mushrooms like that come up in the presence of bacterial contamination. Some of the other mushrooms that are developing look healthier.
--------------------
I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister. I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave. I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent. Triggered yet? Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."
No, this does not look right...

Doesn't look like it contaminated yet, but you are lucky to get fruits in a setup like that. Try your best to get the holes like a true SGFC setup and you can expect to see a good second flush!
