that's not BE, and its not hard to get 2+ oz from 1 qt of spawn, good culture or just spread it out.
BE = total amount of wet mushrooms divided by dry weight of all the ingredients used. thats why pf-tek has great BE, the dry ingredients pr cake doesnt weigh a bit!

Also why comparing BE between different methods is retarded. If you weigh cost of substrate then you can use BE to track your own grows to see if you maybe had a problem or if a culture is supurb. A lot of high BE grows might cost twice as much per dry gram in terms of raw substrate cost as well as production overhead. It's a powerful tool but only if you understand it and don't try to use it to compare completely different methodology

Thanks, well, it's my first successful grow. One out of three ain't too bad. I'll tell you what: my recent unemployment helps. At least it's good for something. It allows you to give the blighters some decent TLC, plenty of fanning. When you're working, it's hard. They don't get any fanning. Poor pin development, not to mention cakes drying out. By the way, is everyone on this forum unemployed? That would explain everything.
This time, in my eagerness, I thought I had watered them to death. Nope. They liked it. Last couple of times I had no holes on the bottom of the SGFC. I thought that was beyond stupid. I didn't have the right information. Neither did I have it elevated off the surface.
This time I put everything on a gridded rack. This enabled me to remove the cakes en bloque, and spray the perlite well every day, quite apart from the periodic spraying during the day. That's just my technique. This definitely improved the humidity from a reading of 60% to around a steady 70%. As I've understood in the forums, you really don't need the much-vaunted 99% that they talk about. RR says we don't need to obsess on humidity levels, and that it's even important that humidity fluctuates. Regular fanning seems to be the deal-breaker.
I tried 'em out last night. Compared to cyans, these B+ are mild. I took 2 and a half grams in half gram increments. I'm used to cyanescens, and doing a single gram, to get me high ALL NIGHT, with incredibly rich visuals. These ones are much less intense, soft and caressing, beautiful visuals, but far less interesting than cyans. On them, I've been shown black spaceships with unfathomable impossibly-complex, hard-to-describe holographic-type technologies.
On the linguistic side of things I always emerge from my trips laughing at new words I get. Last night's word of the day: Hallucinian: adj. mix of colours experienced during hallucinations, pertaining to hallucinatory experiences.
