I also have a casing of PR going right now, also overlaying strong, on the other hand producing many, many pins:

Sure...rub it in Anno:).
I guess it's only appropriate that we show the right way (Anno) and the wrong way (Joshua) to grow these.
Make sure to post some more pics as they fruit.

joshua dont put yourself down like that; wtf?
i sure hope my PR?s come out like yours; you did good on the casing it was just unfortunate that it got infected. i still got a week or so on my jars though; and im going to try preventing the overlay.... somehow..... 
anno?s is nice also but; no disrespect; most of those pins will abort. i was shocked to see that pic anno; ive only heard PR?s to be a very good strain about fruiting; not many aborts. although if they all did grow up tall wow!!
anno- is that straight rye or did you spawn something? mine are on rye too; well see how it goes.

Sorry Josh, that wasn?t ment this way.
From my experience also many, many of those pins abort.
I?ll definitely show more pictures once the fruits get bigger.

Sorry to see the casing end like that, but I must say that the potential was huge! At least you did get some fruits off of it (btw, what was the dry weight of all the harvested mushrooms?)
On another note, I have PR cakes in the fruiting cycle now, and those things are still producing mycelium (they are starting to get fluffy on the top!) It's my first time growing, but I hope for these to be verrrrry potent!

Josh why on earth do you have so many problems with contams? Is it the climate you live in? maybe your house has somthing in it.. i'd try to re-evaluate and see if you can find the source of the problem.. cuz I never get contams, (well rarely ever, I have got them in the past though) and my room isn't even that clean.
if you keep getting so many contam problems then trying to grow shrooms seems pointless. Azurepower lives in the same area, does he get the same thing? doesn't seem like it..
good luck to you

Good luck with PR guys, I gave up on them, I noticed all those pins that turn into abhorts lead so much possibility to exposure to contaminants. The fact that I am not good with sterility, I just said, forget those PRs. My treasure coast had a better primordia maturing rate. Anno...do you know how to a way to make it so that there aren't that many pins / abhorts on the PR?

The contam issue is bad luck and lack of sterility on my part. It's ironic that you mention Azurepower. The casing that caused my current outbreak was one that I got from him. I have had a bad ant problem lately. They get into everything and track contams all over. My hay tray went to contams from opening it up too much, and opening it on the floor. I've learned from all of these problems and hopefully will have them under control in the future.

I agree with you 100%, I did the same thing, no more pr's for me.. way to much of a pain in the ass. Equador is the nicest strain to grow, by far.

WOWEY!!!!! If those all mature that would be the most compact flush i have ever seen, this strain is so wierd huh.........I am Currently spawning horse dung in spawn bags with PR rye inoculation, seeing that its such rhizmorphic nature hopefully it will colonize the dung fast.
Has anyone tried to grow PR's on dung yet?

I thought I'd re activate this thread. Very nice job Josh. Don't cut yourself down!! I seem to have a bad problem with contams too. Damn Anno those PR's are looking great. You need to post an update. 
Josh where do you get your spores from? I seem to be reading a lot of your threads lately and all seem to have great success. I just ordered some from spore works and I'm hoping they'll be good ones (I have yet to recieve them). I had a bad contam problem in my last batch, but I believe it was due to lack of experience. Anyways, good luck in future batches. And Anno, post an update.

Thank you for the positive words .
I obtained most of my spores through trading. I now have enough spores to keep me busy for a long while. As I grow these various strains out I will be offering their prints for trade, offering them for free w/ a SASE, or giving them away in contests.

I had to check this out once I saw that "Holy fuck balls!" comment. That is a grip of pins. It looks like a lot will abort, but a lot will mature. You have to keep us updated. That would be insane if you got them all to mature. Is there anything you can do in a case like that to try and get more to mature and not abort? My guess would be serveral mistings a day from far away as not to damage the pins, but to give them the water they need. Am i completely off?

I always put a syringe of sterile water down into my bottom layer of verm evey other day during heavy growth. This sponge layer supplies the most of the water so all those pins will have plenty,, and very few aborts are a result..Misting the top is not enough water to supply that many growing shrooms...Remember there 90% water......
