Appreciate it my dude! From what it seems like I just got lucky with genetics 
If I had to guess, the jar that I used to spawn took 41 days to colonize & it looked like maybe only a very small number of spores germinated & maybe I just got lucky with them being good fruiters.  Who the hell knows...
I know man. I've been waiting on those suckers to balloon up for you now. I drastically gave mine tons of FAE 24/7 with like 2-3 mists a day for the last 2-3 days (I also loosened up a lot of the Polly) . Idk if you can use that info at all but 
I can see my sub drastically shrinking today from them opening their caps. I might get a syringe and inject water around the shrooms. Not really sure if that's a thing lol

Yeah I was suspecting you might have good genetics as well as the fact that it looks like they are really loving your substrate.  Your substrate is shrinking from the caps sucking up all the water. I would soak your sub at the end of your flush or possibly then next one to to give it a boost.
I think I figured out part of my problem. My room has been rather cold around 68 degrees, Im going to try to raise it to the low to mid 70s and see what happens.
Ive been starting to mist and fan more and it seems to be helping. 
I believe it also has something to do with the thickness of my sub. I didn't realize how thin it was around 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick Its all trial and error so I will just tweak my set up on the next go around and see what happens.
Might try a Coir substrate and increase the depth, spawn ratio.   
I have been noticing quite a few new pins in Tray 2 as well as pins starting to pop finally in Tray 1 so we will see what happens in the new few days.
Ill keep you all updated

Hell yeah man, appreciate the update. Yeah... I noticed the sub shrinking drastically too. I syringed some water on the sides for the remainder of the first flush, and definitely gunna dunk after this flush.
I went ahead and cherry picked the first few fruits that were the most developed. I figure I picked about a 1/4 to a 1/3 of em. I was a little disappointed with the weight, but with just 1 quart of spawn I really can't complain.
Here are the ones I picked (wet weight: 58.6 grams)

I already threw them in the dehydrator after taking 2 clone samples of the biggest one!

Hey guys, finished picking most of the flush this afternoon. Total wet weight was 259.2 grams.
Besides the couple of large shrooms left. Should I pick any of those pins prior to dunking?

from my experience you are better off just harvesting everything. The small pins you see now are mostly aborts. The rest are good to harvest anyway.

Oh yeah! My bad I forgot to update this thread yesterday. So after everything was picked, my final stats for first flush were: Wet: 310.3 grams Dry: 23.9 grams
Here's a pic of them dried out and turned to powder:

I find that powdering it makes things a lot easier. I usually put it in Chili or similar. I knew some people that used puding. It also digests faster that way. The wet weight always looks more impressive than when its dry. Either way, it was a good run.
