Yeah, finally! Heres a few pics for ya. Enjoy.
 
 
 
 
 
The actual harvest pics are about half of them, I still have some on the same block in the FC until tomorrow. The recipe may surprise some of you, or maybe not. WBS spawned to birch dowels, soaked for 24 hours, then PC'd with about 40% coir with a little crushed oyster shell. I'd say it turned out pretty good.

^^WELL DONE!!
So let me get this straight, you soaked the birch dowels and then mixed with the coir, oyster shell, and PCed? How long did you PC for?
As for the strain, any ideas what it is? I notice there is no browning at all so it must be a fast fruiter. What were the conditions?
Again good job!!

Thanx alot fellas. Yup, soaked the dowels, hydrated the coir and mixed a little less than a 1/4 c of oyster shells to it. Pc'd 45 min, let it cool overnight and spawned with the bird seed. I was kind of concerened about the lack of browning myself. After it fully colonized I let it sit for about another week. I thought I noticed a little knotting so I took the bag out of the incubator and let it sit under a drafty window. About 3 days later voila, pins! I now only wish I had the time and money to statr some agar work. All in all it was about 2 months from inocc. to today. From wahat I've read thats pretty fast for these beauties! Oh yeah, I incubated at 78 and fruited in a modified single tub that I use perlite in and fanned once a day. Temps were at 68-70.

You mean weight of the fruits to the weight of the block?
