First Grow Log - Semperviva 3

Hello fellow Shroomerites!
First of all thank you plethora of information, constructive criticism and sense of community. 
This will be my first grow log/journal so I figured I would break the ice with my first go at exotics! I am always looking to learn more so please let me know what I can improve on.
5/25 - Semperviva print received from CaptainFuture. 6/14 - Dropped on agar and cleaned up with 3 transfers. 7/1 - PCed 1 qt of WBS for 2 hrs and inoculated with agar wedge. 7/15 - Spawned fully colonized WBS to 1.5 qt of Hpoo pasteurized via Franks Proper Pasteurization. 7/25 - Cased fully colonized substrate with pasteurized CVG with crushed oyster shell and a touch of Calcium Hydroxide at about a depth of 1/4 in. 8/2 - Initiated fruiting conditions. - Tight polyfil on all holes to keep humidity as high as possible, next to fluorescent lights wit the other tubs. Closet is 75-82 degrees throughout the day.

8/2/16 - Mycelium sneaking through the casing layer.

8/2/16 - First ever sprout growing in a tub. I figured I would leave it.

8/2/16 - Here is the first pin!

8/7/16 Many more pins are popping up. 
8/8/16 First cap opens. Ill be trying to print every fruit possible with this grow.

Update 8/8/16 things are progressing nicely 
Update 8/9/16. I'm surprised at how quick everything is growing. I was heard quite a bit about how Semperviva is a slow fruiter.

Update 8/10/16 Lookin like its getting close to harvest time. Fruits are growing pretty evenly. I am mainly waiting for the caps to lift up and curl so I can try taking prints again.
  
Update 8/12/16 Harvested a handful of fruits whose gils were curled up.

Final Update 8/14/16 I'm surprised at the amount of late growth these guys put out. Total wet weight was 84g plus 2.5g dry. I love how rope like the stipes are.... gorgeous.

Updated with a few pics. Fruits are growing fast but I am having a hard time making prints. I may have to wait longer than usual to try and collect some spores.

Compared to other semperviva's I've seen (photo wise), yours seem to have small caps, and look like tamp.
 probably it's better to let them mature more before trying to take prints.

I was thinking they looked a little too tan/brown and not orange like other Semperviva grows. It may not be Semperviva. It could be Zapotecorum. I started a jar of Semperviva and Zapotecorum the same day and lost one. I wonder if I fucked up another label.
Thanks dude.

Whenever I figure out a proper dosage I will! As of now I have no idea how much to munch. 
I usually eat 4g traditional or 2.5-3g PE.
