First Flush Z Strain was 20Gram Dry.
Second Flush Update --
  Picked the first few today.
PR Update -
 Loving the Strength / Pin clusters of Puerto Rican !
  Got a nice clone fruit here Will be taking a tissue sample from this big boy and smaller one in a large cluster. Would be a great to achieve a monster shroom on the later flushes

The large shroom Kept growing and growing without the veil breaking Weighs 9.5 Grams wet, I have cut a tissue sample and put on agar I Was going to place a drop of malabar spore solution on my dish and then pour the agar like you suggested but before i knew it the agar was poured.. Oh well, Have used 2 x 3 section Petri dishes - a drop in each part, would be nice to get some success. I Have to many B+ Dishes so have stopped working on that strain and made a B+ Syringe to try 'preserve' it

Good shit bro!
Try to increase FAE a bit. I see myc crawling up the base of the mushrooms which is normally a sign that they could use a little more fresh air.

Cheers man !
More FAE It is - I've Adjusted the polyfill slightly and will try keep the window open at all times 
I Noticed 1 or 2 of the shrooms totally hairy up the stem genetics may have played a part on this occasion.

Nah, all the way up is definitely FAE 
If it's just at the base then sometimes it's genetic. For instance:

Those get fuzzy feet no matter what I do, you can see it at the bottom there.

Ok Thank you for the Info and example ! 
Really pissed about my recent agar batch Checked on them today and its not set as it should..
Its New agar agar so may be poor quality or it was not mixed well enough, Used 10g agar agar / 8g LME / 500ml Water. I Have tested the agar by using 125ml water and 2.5gram agar and it set okay soo.. i'll just have to keep my fingers crossed. The agar / clone sample wobbles in the petri dish at room temperature

Agar Update --
My Malabar MS to agar has started to grow, Its took off quickly but no sign of mycelium 

All my agar clones ^ survived The mycelium grown well in the LME that did not set. With some care i have took another transfer today and now all the dishes are perfect Will be using them for my next (3rd Grow)
Cant wait to do an agar grow and harvest them all at once and not 3 to 5 at a time 
Grow update --
A Little Advice here would be great, I've recently harvest a few mushrooms from my PR Tub and have seen sign of possible contamination. Could this be Verticillium ? What do you guys think ?



I think I have over misted the tub and its lacked some fresh air so its not looking too healthy but i cant see any signs of contamination. Im allowing it to dry out a little and increased FAE.. Any Advice or guidance is greatly appreciated

Not a vert expert but I don't think it is.
Also, Malabar myc looks really weird and for some reason a lot of us have contamed syringes. Don't be so quick to judge

Yes, the brown spots on your stems is verticillium.

Thank you for clearing that up guys
Shame about the malabar syringes Im pretty sure its not mycelium by the sheer speed of growth, I attempted syringe to agar before and it took me 3+ Weeks to see signs of mycelium, This white contamination only 5 days from inoc.. I have took another transfer anyhow to study and will update with better photos when possible 
Seeing some improved growth from my PR Tub now i've stopped misting and fan more often but nothing picture worthy, My Z - strain tub is almost exhausted (3rd flush) yet my PR are still struggling to pull out its first flush Keeping my fingers crossed that i've not screwed up the tub.

I Found a fungus gnat flying inside the tub and killed it, next day i found another 
I fucked up on this PR tub from the begining with over misting and lack of FAE.. The verticillium set in and then i spoted the gnats 

I did not want to risk future grows with an infestation problem so have picked all the shrooms and thrown out the subs cleaning the area with lysol.
 
Got a nice clone and hopefully some potent ass tiny shrooms so its not all a loss Its all Experiance
