Looks good. I wish I had some fruit that were taller than the box. My best is 11.7g dry from 1qt of wild cubes.
If i was guessing..id say 25g dry. Some of those are printing so wont know for sure till those caps dry tomm. Got some wild cubes on agar will shoebox those as well and see what kind of flush i get.

thats a good one. 
that tray could use a mist. lookin kinda dry.
yeah haha you can imagine I was quite unpleased..shoulda taken a photo of it bunch of sub thrown all over and a big old turd on top.
It definitely lost a lot of moisture the first few days of fruiting and bruised like a mofo as I was only misting twice a day (was working a few doubles). Started misting a few more times a day, Seems like its ready to be misted almost every 2-3 hours.

Dry weight on that last shoebox flush I posted came out to 1.3oz
Here's a couple more I harvested last night... same deal- each is 1 quart WBS spawn from Costa Rican MS spore syringe mixed with only coir. I'm assuming they will both be about an ounce dry like the other one.
And then some Chitwan that are fruiting in small dense clusters (some areas have been harvested already). This box was knotting like mad and I thought I was going to get a crazy canopy, but I think I overdid it too much with leaving it in open air too long and the surface seemed to dry out despite my regular misting. Plus the way they fruited was kinda weird, growing in different directions. These are potent

Every time ive gone to get 6qts they are all out so i had to settle for the 12s. Come to think of it every time i go buy wbs i make a pass by the aisle and find at least one tote with a bag of wbs and other supplies in it.

You know I've been wondering about this. The 6qts I buy are always sold out, more often than not. Also the coir is regularly either sold out or there's only one left.

I never have done shoe-boxes... I'm looking forward to my next grow using them... Using shoe-boxes you should be able to keep the substrate cooler.. Less contaminates..., is how I see It..

All of the shoeboxes I've posted previously have been fruited mostly in open air, with lids placed loosely on during night time (but I even left them in open air all night sometimes)
The box above has been fruited with lid loose the whole time.
