First Grow UPDATE: 2nd Flush pix

PF-Tek verm/whole-wheat-rye-flour in 0,33L jars (1/2pint = 0,24L) Boiled for 1.5 hours, no PC.
After 30 days of incubating, only 2/6 jars showed growth on only 1/4 inoculation points. I guess that syringe did not have many spores in it. (although I've bought it from a sponsor) But that's not a problem any more, because...
Day 9 of birth - my first pins:
You sure see the big group of em, I havent marked them
I'll keep you updated.

Thanks! What about humidification? Should I stop misting them, since they have started pinning, to prevent rotting of the fruit. (I think I've read this somewhere here)

The pics here are of cakes not casings. but the same thing for the most part. keep the RH @90-95 for casings. you can still myst the casings but be careful not to let water build up and stand on the surface. As for fanning..... DONT STOP!!! The fruits need as much FAE as possible. The biggest thing that i've noticed when it comes to FAE isn't the mushroom growth but its density. IMO it seems that the more FAE the thicker and more solid the shroom stems are.....more fruit to the shroom. Good luck guys your doing well so far.

Here are some shots I've made today. It's the GT strain. The caps seem to have torn on the edges, although the largest mushies are just an inch long. Why is this? Low humidity?
Day 12 of fruiting:

Nice cakes. I remember my first flush and grow from cakes. Only 7 grams wet. I switched to horse poo casings and now they are more potent and allot more grow and bigger.

Picking first flush [Re: prefloppro]

Today, 47 days since inoculation, 15 days since birthing, 6 days since I saw the first pins, I have picked my first flush ever!
I looked into my fruiting chamber
Took them out
Picked and weighted
Needled them onto a piece of string and hung them on a fan
Doesn't look like much when it hangs there.... 34g wet... I guess it will be 3,4g when it dries, enough for a few small trips. I'll dunk them overnight and we'll see what happens next.

Youre letting them mature, loss of potency... harvest them young when the veil start to break apart tand the cap opens.

Don't listen to this guy. This has never been proven. Do as you wish. Let them go and they often put on another couple of inches after the veil breaks.
btw, nice work man

I screwed up with low humidity, so the veils broke and the caps cracked the day after I saw my first pins, when they were too small to harvest.
But I'll probably harvest my next flush a day earlier.

Well, that fanning technique worked great! My 34 wet grams turned into 3,4 dry grams, just as the book implies.
Thank you, Shroomery, without you I would have never grown my own shrooms from scratch. Cause if you are lazy you can buy a growbox(i.e. ready-made casing) in a local shop here where I live.

One of my cakes was standing at the door of the terrarium and the other one was located deeper inside. So the closer one was getting more fresh air from the fanning that I have done like 5 times a day. Can you guess which is which by looking at the picture?
I guess FAE should not be underestimated: that other cake has not grown any new pins.
But this one has overcome all my expectations. I woke up today to find that the biggest pin had opened and turned into a big saucer.
Total wet weight from 1 cake: 31.7g Wet weight of The Big Guy: 14.7g
