Ill take that as a compliment since it may be the "longest ever " haha...
Actually it's my third grow attemp that may be why it's such a long thread . My second attemp was with PE also on pf cakes, I hadn't used an SAB and I had failed . So I had restarted a third attemp using an SAB and received no contams .
I'll post the pics of the really weird white stringy stuff in a couple hours . None of my cakes have ever remotely looked like this one does . And the whites been progressing more and more every time I time I spray my cakes . The top looks almost greyish now lol.
Thanks .

Not sure mate not that I saw... But here is a picture of what I'm talking about, it's at the bottom of the cake, white strands . Maybe it is just myc? Just weird how it's strands like that I haven't seen anything like this on any other cakes this far .. I had held this cake down under water with a glass bowl when I had dunked it (so the cake wouldn't float ) also I had to move another cake one day so I sat one of my cakes Ontop of this one (is that a big no no?) did that stuff 3-4 days before the white began showing up. My camera blows donkey dick so I'm sorry if it's not the best picture (fucking iPhone :/ ) . I know everything is probably fine with it but I'm here to learn , and better safe than sorry right ? Anyways let me know what you think guys .

Also check out the cap on this mushroom, is it possible to get fuzzy caps like/similar to fuzzy feet on the stems from low FAE? Cause that's what it looks like to me unless it's some sort of contam lol. One of my mushrooms also had this on my last flush, I just discarded the cap and kept the stem . I know I used way too little perlite with this grow which I'm guessing is why my FAE is way too low (2.5-3" of perlite) next time I'll make sure to have 5-6" . Anyways here's the cap I'm talking about

Thanks ahead of time to anyone who posts / helps out !

perlite is dirt cheap. cant you score more? if using a sgfc you need double the amount you have

Yeah mate it's a SGFC. Would doubling the perlite really make my FAE a Ton better? Also would that help me get better yields / even more pins? I'll pick some more up regardless I'm just curious so I'm asking those questions .
I had bought a bag of perlite thinking this small SGFC would be a good 5" filled but it didn't turn out that way. I'll pick up another bag the same size that way I'll end up with atleast 6" once I add it. All my cakes have about 2 flushes left so I figured I wouldn't bother , but I guess I mineaswell since they seem to be extremely short of FAE.
I just picked that weird looking mushroom, it turns out it wasn't fuzzy, the cap it's self was like folding over lol so weird . Guessing that's another side effect it was showing of low FAE in the chamber .
I'm Going into the city tomorrow so I'll pick up a bag (no stores that have it where I live) .
Yeah I have quite a few pages on this thread . Was posting quite a few updates on my grow / trying to keep my thread informative , and I'm new so I had a ton of questions about mycology in general , and questions about how my grow was turning out thus far.
I've learnt a ton so far, the main thing being, there are a ton of good solid knowledgable people on this forum that are ready to help . Would of never succeeded without the shroomery .
Again a big thanks to anyone who has helped me along the way .

Where is your FC located?
And remember no fans the SGFC uses natural air currents.

In my mates grandparents basement (don't worry we got permission were not taking advantage of an old couple lol)
It's a room about 16 feet long by 8 feet wide . It has a lot of storage /stuff stored in it though . The temps are roughly 67-68 F .
I was told a first flush produces the most mushrooms, and the rest of the flushes produce less pins but bigger shrooms. Is that right ? It seems to be opposite for me in this grow as my first flushes produced only a few big mushrooms , and now my second / third flushes are producing twice as many pins and atleast double the amount of mushrooms .
That cake that was very white is pinning nicely and the pins don't seem to look discoloured or funny looking so maybe I was just over reacting maybe it's just very rhizomorphic myc?(I think Using that term here may make sense?) still learning here lol.
As for lighting We only have one 23 watt 6500K CFL about 6" above the SGFC , it's been working thus far, would more lighting be more ideal to improve conditions ?
Thanks guys.

well i thought it was a fresh flush or something but still. its unhealthy.
and yes using the proper amount of perlite helps make the whole system work.
its a bad example but think of eating under salted food. will adding alittle more really make it taste better?? YES

Well the local garden shop was closed when I got to the city , and my Walmart never stocks perlite not even in the summer time (such BS...) so no extra perlite yet... But on a positive note my two cakes that are fruiting are looking more promising then the last two 
Here is cake #1 (started fruiting 2-3 days ago)


Cake #2(started fruiting about 3 days ago)


 What causes those little short fattys to grow lol poor genetics?? They're weird it sprouted super fast and hasn't grown anymore at all
Now I know these cakes probably seem pitiful to you veterans , but after the last two cakes I had ( total of 1.2-1.5g each) these actually seem atleast a little promising to me.
I will post more pictures of these as the fruits are close / ready for harvest . Also today I will be dunking my other two cakes . wish me mush luck

Whatup amido?
Just harvested cake #2 from the previous pics I had posted. Here is a before and after pic of the fruits harvested
Before pulling fruits :

Fruits about to be dehydrated :

Looks like it'll for sure beat my last pitiful 1.4g cake .
Just for fun does anyone want to guess what the final weight will be? My guess is about 2.7. I may be way off but oh well lol
Currently sick with the runs, no fun. Was holding my daughter earlier and I thought I had gas and I ended up pretty much shitting myself . Ah the joys of being sick lol.

That sounds horrible bro, ouch..
Honestly I took this up just as a hobby , something happens to me anytime I eat mush.. I have consumed cubes about 5-6 times in my life time , and literally every single time I tripped bad and just wanted it to go away. The last time I ate them I told myself I will never ever eat them again cause it was 3-4 hours of flipping out. At one point I though they made me go mentally Retarted for life , I was trying to do 1+1 in my head and I couldn't figure it out . Ive always had a bad reaction with hallucinagens which sucks lol.
Anyways I hope your exam went well/ hops you aced it mate. And enjoy those PE fruits tonight , I'm sure you will haha.
