New guy starting out - Hello folks

Hey guys, I've always been interested in mycology so I finally decided to give it a shot. I'm an older guy living outside Atlanta so getting spores was difficult then I remembered, I have a house in North Carolina. I had the spores shipped from SporeWorks and they were delivered in about 24 hours! That was super fast! I ordered 6 different strains in syringes..
So far I've got maybe 30 jars growing (PF Tek) and they are just about ready to fruit. I will say they are taking a long time to get completely covered. I've got my hay chopped up and lots of 70qt bins ready for fruiting. I can hardly wait any longer! I know it's too early, it's all I can do to not pull a jar and start it fruiting. I've also got 20 Petri dishes with agar going to make myco a different way. It's fun to experiment.
I just wanted to introduce myself and I'm looking for any tips from the Pro's mainly how early is too early to start breaking cakes?
Great forum, lots of info to be sure.

that first paragraph is just all wrong. fuck.
dont open a jar until the it is 100% colonized. with pf cakes they need to rest for a week once colonized. called consolidation but resting is shorter to type.
edit that shit out. no one cares where you live but we do care about breaking forum rules.
shroomery is great for learning but you will get extremely blunt and often harsh critique. welcome to the party.

It's a good idea to follow the directions in the TEK. You leave the cakes to consolidate a full week after they get completely colonized.
Start doing things your way, based on zero experience, and you will fail hard.

Exactly.
You have to post your exact address and phone number, so that you can benefit from the 5 grams of dried penis envy that every new user is entitled to.
Welcome to the shroomery
