Pumpkin Candy Dish with B+

Ok, Long story short I had an extra quart of spawn and didn't have time to do a G2G. So I decided to do a fun little project. I wasn't expecting it to go well since I have no idea how well a pumpkin candy dish would work.
Being that it is October, I think this is quite suitable! I hope you enjoy it as well!

Whatever works.

I used to see dishes similar to those get used all the time years ago. Good job

Wow, love that. It looks pretty self-contained. What's the substrate depth? I've seen bowls like that at Hobby Lobby but they are quite large. You'll have to tell us how many grams you pull each flush.

I am glad you enjoy it! I was a bit concerned it was going to dry out too quick. But I think it creates almost a perfect FAE. I did mist it at least once a day though.
I took the lid off the last 24 hours to let the fruits lift from the container and it dried out really fast. I think in the future i'll just leave the lid on and let it get crowded.
Substrate debth was just under 4 inches.
Flush 1 just finished drying at just under 13g
In case I have an extra quart of spawn in the future and I don't want to G2G, I would totally use this dish again.

I bet that would fruit great if the lid were turned a few degrees to create a big air gap all the way around. Might take slightly more misting, but the better flush would be worth seeing. Unless you were doing that from the start of course, looked to me like the lid was on normally.

Update: Flush 2
I am still pretty impressed with how this dish is performing. Flush two seems to be a bit larger in fruits. Might be due to me leaving the dunk water in the container the whole time. It took a few days for the substrate to soak up all of the water. But I think it directly affected the fruit size.
This is a picture of last night. I decided to harvest this morning.

This is from this morning.
  
I'll update with dry weight soon.

Dude that shroom in your pic is such a cool mutant. Did you clone it?

Sadly I did not.... I had some agar plates but they went bad and I didn't have any resources to make more. But I still have the dried mushroom. 1.5g I'm not sure I want to take it though. :P

I'd keep it as a souvenir and maybe one day try and dry clone the stem. Haha it looks alien

Update: Flush 3
I think this is a perfect time to harvest. Those veils are just breaking!
You can see the substrate is starting to shrink down so air is getting in between the glass and the sides of the substrate. So I am starting to get fruits growing on the sides. Which is a bit of a pain.
Lets see if we can get anything else out of this fun little project!
