The obvious question is also... Why are some so much larger than others? The two small ones I plucked this morning were growing from the same cakes as the two fatties I have.

I did not know this! I had detected a certain amount of... boiling hatred from RR for vendors that sell strain-specific spore syringes, because apparently it's impossible to isolate a certain strain like that?
At any rate, these jars were all inoculated with what were supposed to be the "texas" strain from a single syringe, although now I'm guessing that was just a generic term for Cubensis harvested in Texas?
Owell!
Do you think the small stems/caps and lack of pins are the result of something wrong with my SGFC build?, or do they just turn out like that sometimes and I should expect more from a second flush?

Yes he likes the term variety better...and yes isolation takes months and months and many many plates.
There's a couple different Texas strains. Most notable difference is cap color.
If you built it to spec and are have proper placement it should be working. They say more quantity of mushrooms first flush, less quantity but larger specimens second flush...unless you have a clone which you can produce more stabilizedetails results with.

-Day 9/10 in fruiting chamber
- Finally starting to see pins growing like crazy, as pictures have suggested.
- Is it normal to have 4 fully grown mushrooms before pins start to appear en mass?
- Wow, bottom watering is amazing.
- Seriously, buy the 7$ Flo Master sprayer from the bug spray section of home depot
I will update with some pictures later tonight.

Completely normal. Remember you are workong with MS so the genetics of each mushroom is vastly different than another rather than if you were working with cloned tissue you would expect your mushrooms to grow more uniform because the genetics are similar. Glad to hear you have many more pins coming already. It was a matter of time before they started producing

A couple more pictures. Day 12 in the SGFC. The places where I had thought the cakes might be too wet after misting are the places where the pins have grown.
Especially this guy, who is having a blast on the underside of the cake.

Timing looks like it'll be great! I have my American Harvest Snackmaster showing up tomorrow, which should be just about harvesting time, and definitely in time to avoid sporepocalypse.
Would there be any problem in harvesting early bloomers and putting them in the fridge for a day before the Dehydrator gets here, or is sticking them in front of a fan instead a better idea?
Any suggestions for which Tek to go for next? This is still my first flush so I should have some life in these 4 cakes, but I'm already looking ahead since I have 40CC of spores to use and this was so much fun.

Why not stick with BRF cakes for a while? You did good this go around. You can store mush in the fridge till the next day

Good rule of thumb is to always have something colonizing so start up some PF and then move onto agar for sure!! After agar you can move onto anything under the sun

Yup! It's got a fairly small pot, though; I can only sterilize 4 1/2 pint jars at a time. Hence the 4 cakes this round 

Day 14 in the SGFC and I'm thinking tonight or tomorrow might be the night for harvesting (these pics were taken last night). I'm curious about the interval between first flush --> dunk. Should I leave the cakes out for a day before dunking or do it immediately after harvest?

Overachiever-cake!

Absolutely not Actually I plan on inoculating 20 more jars this weekend with a special young lady helping me 
Gonna have to research whether or not my PC can handle 15 PSI @ 5 hours continuously without 'sploding!
Here's some picture updates...

- I think you can guess which one I decided was ready for harvest
!


- This was mostly that one cake, which I used my Model Painter Snips to cut off at the base, and the pieces I had twist and pulled this morning from the early bloomers to avoid many sporez.
- Unfortunately this kitchen scale is *absolutely worthless* in my experience and so I left it blank to make all of us happy. (For reference, I pulled off 2 big ones and 2 medium ones last weekend and had quite an experience.)
Here is the cake as it currently stands; I put it back because there are quite a few near the bottom that I think are at least 12+ hours from breaking the veil, and then misted and fanned the chamber.

Should I take it out and dunk it, in an abundance of caution to avoid contams since there are so many stumps?

I had read that the color won't be a big deal as long as the holes are done properly.
As for the PC, I just mean that my PC is only big enough for 4 jars at a time, so 4 jars @ 1 hour five times.
