What's in your FC?

Latest projects for me include B+ and my first PE grow. Both didn't produce the way i would have liked them too, i think i used too thick of a casing layer on the B+, i also wasn't too impressed with the size of the PE fruits i have. The PE harvest was pretty plentiful tho regardless of size, i filled up three trays and could have filled part of a fourth if i didnt want to let them mature. The B+ didn't put out a robust pinset either, but the large fruit size made up for that. I got some honkers in this flush, three of which had caps so big i had to cut them and start air drying them before i can even think of placing them in the dehydrator.
Anyways, here's some pics, if you guys have a grow that's currently fruiting, share some pics! Id like to see what everyone is cultivating lately

i showed this off in another thread but here it is again.. just a neat looking pinset on a small casing. the FC is made out of an empty pretzel rod container i have many small casings in various macguyver'd FC's around the house as houseplants... so i guess this isn't really what's in my "real" FC as the topic implies. 

these guys are B+, two halt pint brf cakes spawned to a mixture of coir and coffee grounds, cased with miracle gro moisture control potting soil! (yup lots of crazy things going on here, on top of the pretzel-rod FC) picture is about 48 hours old, they're all quite a bit bigger now, will update probably sunday night when they should be about ready

that's a nice pinset man 
A FC is a FC, regardless if it's your main chamber or not. Just wanted to get a thread going with people's current grows. I just like looking at mushrooms

That one I just harvest, but they were over done, All black, and my FC is trashed now,
It is soaking now,
Spores are not the easiest things to clean, they just want to streak,

hehe, ive had to change perlite a few times due to heavy spore deposits. Next time you trip, pull your casings out of the FC and just stare at the perlite for a while. I find myself doing that everytime i trip at home, it's even better when you have swirls of purple throughout the white.
Either way, nice shrooms man. The PE in my pic came from the syringe you sent me

yah, its funny, i was expecting some larger fruits, but their meatiness more then made up for their punyness I dropped one on a rubbermaid container by accident and it sounded like a 2 lb rock hit it. Needless to say i dont think they'll be shrinking much in my dehydrator. I still have 1/2 a syringe left so hopefully i can generate a substrain im happy with, Im most likely going to clone one of the pins because i was sort of satisfied with the pinset. If i had stuck it in the fc a day or two earlier i probably would have had a thicker first set then i had.
Either way, thanks for the spores man, it was a trip to watch these grow!

Yeah they are fun, that is for sure, I ate 4g and it threw me into outer space 
I have 5 rye bags that are near done, I was going to try two very very large case, 
I also have a small Pan Cyan in the FC, I hope something happens with that one soon.

Hmmm Cyan trays are tricky man, don't give up on it. I grew cyans a few times and my best harvest was only about 2 grams dry. I think from the 4 or 5 flushes i pulled i ended up with about 6 gms dry total.
They're tricky buggers but can be worth the effort. I personally didn't care for the negative side effects they gave me.

I do not have oics yet, but I have a small tray of Tex, G.T. and Hawaiian wich is not going very fast at all. Not sure what is up but it is still going just really slow and laid back. I will try to get pics up of them. I love your guys pic. Snaggletooth, those are very nice pin set compared to mine, and Coda those heads in the one pic. Damn those are huge for P.E.. VGJ U2.

Yes they are, I had a few failures, but this is the closest that I have been.

Once I have a viable LC made more and then transferred them to Vacutainers.
Here is a better pic,

hehe give it time man, and seriously look HARD for those pins. They're so tiny you can pass over them easily if you just glance. Trich seems to hit the cyan cases pretty hard, don't be deterred by it, the large cyan grow i did was under constant attack, but i did my best to keep it "at bay" and it produced enough for me and a few friends to have a decent experience.
In the end i dont think i dried them enough, the trip was ok, more of a mental trip for me. However it didn't produce the punch that everyone touts about cyans, plus the fact that my stomach was killing me during the entire trip detracted from the experience. Im chalking the weak trip up to improper dosage, and the stomach pains to preperation, i hear teas are easier on the stomach with cyans since you don't ingest the fruitbodies.
Maybe sometime in the near future when i get bored ill try again, but for now im happy just cultivating some cubes.

mixed spores ( Hawaiian, malabar, pesa, and orissa) 1 or 2 cc's of each spore solution combined, inoculated 7 qts and left right at 2 cc, refilled with sterile water, knocked up 7 more qts..
cant do a pic right now, as the first batch of mixed jars is still colonizing about 60 lbs( wet weight) of poo inna mono tub
BUT i am just about ready to do the other monotub of mixed spores, and in bags i have malabar, z, orissa pesa about fully colonized and ready to be mono tubbed

well i have always wanted to see what would happen..
but mainly it was an attempt to get as much as possable from 6 syringes ( without doing g2g, lc's etc ) and i am battling bacteria from hell right now and lost an unbelievable amount of spawn/substrate
it was a last ditch attempt to finish the 6th monotub...

no i live in a building from the 1800's. lotta natural contams, and its a rental so i cant rip up carpet etc.
i made my spawn in both jars and bags... i lost 0 jars to any contams.
lol i dont wanna talk about the bags...
i've tried everything... i even broke out the mushroom cultivator to see if there was something i could try that i hadn't thought of ..
at first i thought it was a syringe.. till the other strains started dropping off.. then i thought it was the popcorn ( i had gotten a bad 50 lb bag of popcorn at sams club once ) but the jars have had no problems at all.
i knew it was going to be a challenge growing here, but i thought my problem was gonna be molds, not bacteria
this is pissing me off to no ends... except the bad corn before i seldom loose anything to contams ..think i bragged about it to much, and the mushroom gods put me in my place

just a few pics from the results of that nice pinset i had going that i posted earlier up in the thread...
  
they came out little, tall and skinny with little caps... could be expected, it was just two crumbled 1/2pt brf & coffee cakes, spawned with a pinch of coir and a spoon full of coffee grounds... so there was only so much nutes/moisture to go around for all those... shoulda counted as i cleaned them up but theres obviously a whole lot that matured 125g wet... not a bad haul for a single flush from two measly cakes.
