Update today:

Small pins are erupting through the top layer of mycelium. Surface is kept glistening with beads of moisture and given airflow throughout the day. Hope this pinset develops more over the next 7 days. The sides are pinning a bit better than the center but if one looks closely one sees tiny baby pins poking through the mycelium

Update today:
These are some pictures from the tub we have been following:



Multispore grow so pins at each stage, some ready to harvest, some popping through at the smallest stage.
Here are some photos from other tubs of the same series:


Thoughts?

polyflakes said: Is it more of a question nutrients for flushes or colonization speed when thinking about spwan ratio?
Mostly colonization speed. Sub really isnt nutritious in the same way as grain, and acts more as a medium in which the colony can expand getting maximum surface area for fruiting. The balance is what is desirable. Grain and spawn are intrinsically more valuable than sub. They are a investment, in a way, by the time you spawn them. Having a strong, clean, fast running culture allows you to invest less spawn per sub, if that's a concern. If it's not an issue, then 1:1 1:2 will give pretty quick consolidation times.

Cheers! I will keep this thread updated until the tubs stop producing. Do you think more pins are still being produced under the surface? Also, once I've harvested these, should I just heavily mist in order to trigger 2nd,3rd flushes?

You have to judge that when the time comes. Mak that call after you see what the sub is looking like. If its thirsty, it might need a drink. I'm thinking that might help, also your tub conditions may be a bit wonky as well. The flush is focused on the high liner edges, and the center is sparse. The die is cast for this flush though,so just let it shoot its load, and assess the situation afterwards.

Thanks for that, i'll probably give them a good drink. Fruiting has been by far the most complicated part of this process. A good learning experience!

I wanna post another update, lets just say wow, oh wow. Yields are GOOOOOD especially considering this is my first grow. The pinning was uneven but just meant some were ready before the others. I am yet to dry them, lets just say my two dehydrators are by far not enough.

Certainly! Better to start from a clone now than a spore print. Oh yeah, just harvested another 5kg fresh today. All up the first flush produced 10 kg fresh. I had an even sexier looking tub today. Now preparing for further flushes. I did did heavy misting, will mist again before sleeping. I'll keep this thread updated on further flushing.

Yes, 10,000 g wet. Because they matured at different weights I harvested about 2 kg on the first day, 3 kg on the second day and 5 kg today. This is the total first flush. Will report the dry weight once they are cracker dry. 10 Tubs, 6 90 quart tubs and 4 30 quart tubs (Plus a small tub that I experimented with , that only yielded 25 grams dry).

Bit of spore drop, but these things grow so damn fast. All the tubs ended up having a similar coverage. some tubs had some PHAT mushrooms. I'm amazed to be honest.

Keep it up bro. Good work. Our new batch of 1:5 tubs are colonizing super fast right now.
This is a PE spawned on sept 21 (an experimental tub with a slightly suspect spawn bag):
Will up-load image when tech issues are resolved from Shroomery
It is basically 75% colonized already.
