First Time, Pics, and a Big Thank You

hello! just harvested my first boyos today and am just so super happy with the results of my first try. I wanted to post some pictures here (because i at least have had a great time looking at pics, hope y'all do too) and also just to say thanks to everyone in general. i feel like i've read a damn series of encyclopedias over the last couple of months, and every single time i've had a question or a random thought even, i've been able to find so much information in here (sometimes contradicting info, or just a lot of opinions... which was actually great, because then i got to pick what seemed right for me and what sounded best according to broad consensus). this forum is an amazing resource and rather than continue to be a lurker, i felt like it was time to finally make a profile and say thanks 
i did pftek cakes and decided on doing a cozy coir humidity bin instead of shotgun. i did 12 cakes, put 8 in the coir box and then decided on trying out casing the other 4. they're still doing their thing, but 7 out of the 8 cakes already went and did the damn thing, so here's their pics

first round of harvesting was 62g! and there are a lot left on the cakes still that should be good to go in a day or two. i decided based off of what i read to just soak a bit after birthing and no verm roll, and to wait to do the long dunk and roll in verm for the second flush, so i am excited to see how the next flush will be.
anyways! i am excited as hell about these little dudes and just want to say thank you again, this community wasn't only helpful for learning the technicalities of doing the whole thing, but also for building a love of it. i felt like a kid with a science experiment at first, and then i was like... oh... these are my children now
much love

Good job man you’ll really love the ones you bulked.
Try trimming that foil way down, should give you better pin coverage.

Looks good man.. glad everythings working out.. but as mentioned, would be a good idea to trim the foil down..
they also do a bit better if closer together in the fruiting chamber.. makes a better microclimate

As said before. Foil less.
They look awesome, what variety?
When they finish the first flush you can dunk them and roll them in vermiculite.
Basically you want to submerge them in water and weight them down cause they will want to float for 12-24 hours. Then roll them in dry vermiculite and put them back into the HC
