Full colonization in 8 days? time lapse pics 1

Well I guess this might seem interesting to someone, here is a collection of pics taken at various days. PF Tek with some mistakes made. Half pint jars, brf, Cubensis B+ Inoculation made on July 15th
Here is a picture taken at July 17th
 first signs of growth appear.
July 18
 Was worried that the black spot could have been black mold. Those were spores.
July 20
  Black spot didn't expand, mycelium starts growing more aggressively.
July 22
 Inside of jar began to get warmer than the auxiliary temp, so condensation became a thing to read up about.
July 23 (morning)
  By now, it has been 8 days and the jars are 95/100% colonized.
July 26
   approximately day 3 of consolidation, the mycelium has penetrated the dry verm layer and is starting to colonize it too. ALL 3 jars look almost identical, even while looking from the top without the lid..

I have taken the lids off, for the pooling moisture to vaporize and to encourage FAE. I will probably dunk them in the next 24hours.
Same day: Well since taking the lid off usually would trigger pinning, I just took and dunk'ed em. They did colonize the shit out of the dry verm layer
 
My shotgun fruiting chamber is a fucking bucket
 Plenty o' holes, gonna add 1 liter of vermiculite.
I'll keep this updated with new pics as I go along.

Yeah man! 95-100%. Start the 1-2 week consolidation on the 100% ones

if that culture is that eager, it may not last the entire consolidation period.

Well I don't have that much time anyway, because I'm leaving the country on the first half of August. I'm hoping to start counting 5 days from tomorrow.
Edit. xD.

it may not even take that long like mike said. if you're leaving I would say wait until they are all fully colonised then birth just to save time

...or you could get away with refrigerating them until you get back. Just put them in ziploc freezer bags and then into a lunch pale/ insulated zippered bag and put them in the vegetable crisper.

I've heard very conflicting opinions about this dunk. Some say I should dunk them, some say I should skip it to save time, some say to use a saucer with a bit of water to put the cake in the SGFC.

why would you start this project right before leaving for YEARS??? you didn't really plan this out did you?

My thought with skipping the dunk was to skip the recovery time and flattening of the surface mycellium the dunk induces.
Not having tried it though, I couldn't really say. Honestly, given the teks out there, how many people out there have really tried a side by side of isolate PF cakes dunked vs not dunked for fruiting speed. The people who can do it probably don't care enough to try it.
Since he's in a super rush, my thinking was faster pinset smaller yield. Maybe the pins come on like a day later but grow faster after a dunk mitigating it. Given how aggressive his cakes are, it wouldn't be suprising to me if they're pinning before his consolidation time is over.
Does anyone know?
--------------------
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...

I would think so, because using the PF Tek with a spore syringe, achieving full colonization in 8 days since inoculation (and not since the first signs of growth that could take weeks), I have not seen any evidence of anyone else having such an aggressive growth? I could be wrong, and probably am, but please share your thoughts.

Those jars are looking a little too moist inside from the looks of it.. But that's some perfect fucking myc you got right there. Birth it while you can!

Well AFAIK its not a problem until the condensation starts to pool at the bottom of the jar, and from the looks of it, none of my jars are doing so. The smell coming from the tiny holes in the lids is amazing, fresh shroomey forest  Birthing is the biggest issue here now, nobody really knows or has tried a test of identical jars, some being dunked and some not.

I think your results owe in part to your poorly ground rice flour. I believe this allowed the mycellium to move through the substrate which much greater ease due to the increase in empty space, but the rice that did grind up finely provided constant nutrition and encouragement for growth.
Some people claim whole rice grains contain no bacterial endospores, others claim they do, so that is the risk factor of not using fully ground flour when steaming. You may have stumbled into the best PF tek method for people with pressure cookers.
I see no reason to freak and birth them. Give'm a couple days to consolidate their grip on the nutrition. Violet, a very smart cultivator who uses a lot of whole brown rice, says that rice requires a lengthier consolidation to yield its potential.
Re: Dunking vs Not Dunk: Greater yield is pretty much assured No Dunk: Possibly faster pinset
You're really so far ahead of the curve it doesn't matter. I think there's a good chance you'll have fruits by the 8th, almost certainly by the 15th.
