Psilocybe cubensis "Puerto Rican" PF-Tek spawned on Timothy Cob Hay

2004/05/20 After many months of break from cultivating I've decided to start again. Here begins a batch of Puerto Ricans using a print from my first grow. 12 pf jars were inoculated on 5/11 using 1cc each from a fresh syringe. In a week or so I will case them in bread pans w/o crumbling or spawn to straw, time permitting. 2004/06/06 Finally spawned to hay. I wasn't able to find straw and this is all I could get. It is called Timothy Hay from a pet store. The hay was cut to ~3 inch pieces and soaked in warm lime water for about six hours then pasteurized at 170f for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Two trays were each spawned with 3 1/2 pint jars, using a cheese grater. Saran wrap was layered over the top of the substrate (with holes), and then a layer of aluminum foil was placed over the tray (again, with holes). Both trays were then placed in individual rubbermaid bins and covered with a black sheet. 2004/06/11 I just checked on these guys and both trays are fully colonized. I won't have time to case them until Sunday so I'll post pics then. 2004/06/14 Last night I cased the two trays with sterilized 50/50 verm/coir with a pinch of pickling lime. Both looking beautiful in my opinion, mainly because I didn't think hay would work out so well as compared to straw. Maybe it was my methods or agressive spawn but these were much better behaved than some earlier straw casings. 2004/06/17 How they looked right before I patch cased: 2004/06/18 They were sent to the fruiting chamber a little earlier than usual as I'm expecting some growth momentum like my last projects. The jar in the back is a quart jar with h202 water and a bubbler. Hopefully it will keep the air circulating if I happen to be away too long. 2004/06/21 2004/06/27-30 2004/07/01 harvest wet weight excluding the four printing caps and large shroom being saved for cloning: 237.1 grams. not the greatest flush but not bad either. updated: including the four printing caps and the cloned shroom: 298.1 wet grams first flush tray 1, with the first flush of the second casing on it's way... 2004/07/02 infamous gill and lighter shots... second tray first flush wet weight 209.4 grams. 2004/07/05 total dried weight 38.3 grams 2004/07/07 completing this log for now so it hits logs.php, but it will be a work in progress until flushes are through. the clones will be in a separate thread. 2004/07/12 second flush from tray 1 was 150.8 wet grams... 2004/08/03 first flush from the remaining 6 pf jars that i didn't spawn to straw. they were saved in the refridgerator then "warm" dunked (outside the refridgerator) for 24 hours before birthing. aside from setting up the PMP i didn't fan at all for almost two weeks. just 12/12 light and an air bubbler.

these guys are growing really slow. could it be that i didn't let the straw soak long enough and they're having trouble finding enough water? i also didn't add eggshell to the casing mixture, only lime, but i wouldn't expect it to make a huge difference at this point, maybe in later flushes.
