The Guide. A Psilocybin Cubensis B+ grow log 6

Nothing I am doing here is new/my own, I just wanted for years to put together a post that walks even the newest member through how to be successful and where I am currently with cult. Thanks to everyone since 2005 who has helped me, RR, Damion, mushboy, munchauzen, Bod, D3, inocuole, tons of people on the boards.
The Guide
on 6/2 I used 2 500mL media bottles and made the recipe 10g agar, 10g LME, and 500mL water and pressure cooked for 30 minutes at 15PSI, everything is done using a SAB

6/8 I made plates where I used prepackaged sterile applicators and swabbed a B+ print sent to me in 2015 to 10 plates while snapping the swab off in plate #10.

6/18 I then took wedges from plate 10 and transferred to 6 more plates 
I made a third and final set of transfers before moving to jars 
Around 7/1 I used Bod's Easy AF Oat prep tek and placed 8 wedges into jars (this is my favorite way to do grains and I spent a decade using RR's rye berry tek so trust me) https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/24126032 ;

Jars were around 30% colonized on 7/14 and were shook, this was 7/16

This was 7/19

On 7/20 4 of my 8 jars were ready so I broke them up and used 2 jars of spawn to 2 jars of substrate using damion5050's bucket tek( https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/11916595#11916595 ) and sterilite shoebox sized containers, something I learned from Munch

Here is the original plate #10 today, fruiting a mushroom right from the tip of the applicator, the plate where this all began.

Here is my elaborate grow set up. 2 shoeboxes with a desk lamp and 6500K bulb pointing down at it off the side of my gaming pc. I put directly into fruiting conditions(basically throw the light on for 12 hours a day 

The next step is wait for these 4 other jars to colonize this week and continue doing grain to grain transfers as well as keep doing agar transfers so I have tissue at the ready.
I had time so I did the write up now, I will update when everything starts to fruit.
Fruits 8/7
The 3 tubs did similarly. I slowly harvested mushrooms off them as soon as their veils tore so this is what is going on currently.

Each of the 3 tubs produced 1 ounce dry from first flush. Dunked all 3 8/12 and will wait for next flushes.

What makes you think that? Smells good, broke up great, made another tub today I think it's golden.
I never put all the eggs in one basket though, I plan to do more wedges anyway

You can get more than you need off a plate, cutting a wedge the size of a grain of rice gives you tons to work with.

I harvested a good amount of mature mushrooms the last 4 days off the 3 tubs before the photo today, it turned out great and I have 4 more shoeboxes colonizing too with more B+.

The run still is not over, I wanted to show my new largest mushroom I have ever grown or even seen, thing is like the side of my forearm, I didn't realize until I started tugging at it that it wrapped around the whole tub!

5.05 grams dry

Awesome! Do you have any suggestions on anything in the original post that is a gap in people's/your knowledge that may help in the future?
I eventually will update this with how I make my lids which are stupid simple(using USPS priority mail envelopes cut into discs as a filter to cover a hole punched through your lid, easy as it gets!)
I wanted to make the guide that I wish I had in 2009 to skip over the pf-tek completely for new cultivators. I showed this to a friend of mine and he said it filled in holes in his understanding of the cultivation process which is what I want.
Thank you for your posts it means a lot!

Damn that's awesome, off 8 tubs I think I got somewhere around 16-18 ounces, way more than I really expected. What I noticed too is the last 4 tubs ended up doing better and I paid less attention to them, opened them less and they seemed to have done better so with these shoeboxes I guess the hands off approach is best.
I plan to update this more and make it a guide someone brand new can just follow piece by piece instead of having to pull from different threads, I'm just doin that for them

I would let them fully colonize and do what is called a "grain 2 grain" to make more spawn jars. You can turn one jar into 10 and keep expanding.
Follow exactly what I did in the first post when you're ready to fruit jars. Buy a bucket, verm, coir and make the bulk substrate (bucket tek)
I prefer having 10-20 spawn jars before spawning to bulk and fruiting them to get mushrooms though.
You could do that with just 1-2 jars you have but then you're back at square one with spores afterward
