These small shoeboxes are 5L that´s 5.2qt, and the larger ones are 11L. The small tubs are 22L. I have more 35L tubs as well. I will be doing a lot of side by side experiments soon that´s why I needed to get get many shoeboxes. Just finished cleaning all yesterday.
I´m really excited to see how these 5L boxes will do.

I´m not trying to one up Yesum or anything it might look that way haha but I´m just doing a lot of experimenting
I am an 'amateur' mycologist god damnit 
But on another note I did ingest like 120g the last few weeks and smoked like 50g kief which cost me the equivalent of 100g shrooms. it´s not like mushrooms are storing up at my place and collecting dust. Every time I think I have enough to last me for a while I end up spending it fast 
But I´mma do my best to try to post cool shoeboxes soon since I will be growing at least 7-8 varieties at the same time soon

just got through harvesting and dunking shoe box number 1, tore up the sub pretty bad and got a crack. Should still flush again tho right? Came out to 231.9g wet so not too bad I don't think for being tiny.. maybe they all stayed small because there was 400+ of them on the top?

Did you bottom water at all or just mist?

So here's some pictures of some shoe boxes Mixed on 2/17. I see lots of spider legs popping out of the top! The side growth is beautiful! I can't wait to get agar How much longer would you wait to fruit these?

Not surprised seeing you attempt this form factor of shoebox! I could see it bundling great with BRF cakes to bulk! Just waiting on some more cakes to finish for that.
Looks like the 5L box that I put B+ grains into is almost completely colonized in six days, with the GT a little behind.
Kmart doesn't seem to have the really cheap and cool looking blue boxes now, so I went dollar store and got those (I think yours might be the same ones).

With huge pinsets I've heard bottom watering helps get them all growing bigger without aborting.

I've got some boxes that have been in fruiting for a little over a week. I noticed the bottom and sides weren't completely colonized yet but they've caught up. I have one small pin on a box I let consolidate the proper time before fruiting, but none on the others. Just want to confirm everything looks good and that I don't need to case.

I am not a TC by any means. From my limited experience, these look okay to me. Beware of the sub drying / surface conditions, especially if you are in a heated home.
EDIT: I use a very similar CVG ratio to you.
I got first flush from my first BRF to CVG box last week. First flush was pretty nice. It seemed like the 2nd flush was coming in good, and then overnight the two early risers cracked their caps, and the tiny pins seemed to shrink. The box weighed quite a bit less in the morning, so I attribute it to loss of moisture without the microclilmate of the first flush to help out. I have bottom watered now, and returned to pre-fruiting conditions, hoping for another flush.
I don't know where you're located, but here in MN (the least psilocibated state in the nation), it is hard to predict weather patterns even within hours. I read many things regarding subs being too wet, misting too much, fanning being outdated, etc... however, I think that my region is a bit limited on mushroom growth knowledge these days.
Not far from my home, there used to be massive cave networks for growing edible mushrooms. So I think it is just one of those things that is lost knowledge at this point. Many parts of the states are not required to run forced air heating for several months a year.
Maybe I'm off base, but I'm just assuming you are in a forced air region wushrow! I'm new to all of this as well, but I've run into similar problems growing plants throughout my life. The unpredictable nature of moisture in substrates can cause some real problems, even demise.

Out of interest, why did you decide to use a consolidated BRF to spawn to bulk?
Also, it might be my eyes, but there look to be patches of yellow on your sub...?

Cakes are what I had; I grated them and they regrew very quickly. I think the yellow bits are undigested chunky verm? I can pick some yellow pieces from the top that are loose and its verm. I have central air running very often to keep it 70-74 F and have been misting 2-3 times a day when they aren't glistening with small beads of moisture.
