The fruit of my labor. =) (Successful grow, few more pictures)

Hey everyone!
I just wanted to share some pictures as I am very proud of myself for this accomplishment. I was in doubt of achieving success, but with the help I have received here and the information I followed to the "T," it was possible for my first growing experience to be a great one.
It's just PF cakes -- but knowing I can do this without failure, I'm ready to step it up. =)
It took 4 days for pins to appear, once birthed:

These are some pictures 6 days after being birthed to my FC:



Thanks everyone for helping me on here. I truely appreciate the great sense of community I've found here!

that's a pretty damn nice yield for a cake, especially on your first grow. i would say you have a solid grasp, time to step it up! 5 s for you!

Thank you sir. (:
I'm getting to compare the great advantages of dunking & rolling too, wow. If ever I fruit cakes directly again, they will all be dunked and rolled.
But I doubt that'll happen as its time for casings and bulk. =)

Nice cakes! So those are Blue Meanies? Casings and bulk are a piece of cake!(no pun intended) Don't let anyone tell you it's rocket science. Most of your success will come from a positive attitude, and not fearing to step up to the next level. If you can make a box of macaroni and cheese by following directions, you can grow with bulk casings. Get yourself a Martha Stewart Closet, and you'll be amazed what you can do with it! Happy Journeys! P

Yeah, looking to buy a GH or a Martha soon once I get my first casing experience down with success. (:
Baby steps, I'm a firm believer, lol. I like to learn everything from the ground up.
Thanks for the comments guys!

Thanks you two!
Just finished picking the first flush on another cake, it's dunking now. The other two are doing marvelous -- and it's time to birth my last 4. (:

Just an update, this is a first flush of another dunk and rolled cake. I must say it turned out beautifully.
On the plate is the entire yield. (:


To all the new people out there like myself, if you're following the PF Tek to the last dotted 'i' and crossed 't' there is success in your future.
Hope this gives some inspiration. (:

i cant help but notice the similarities between both of our grows stormhalter. today i just picked the first flush from my first ever BRF cake (Z strain), and like yourself followed the PF tek religiously. i'm a firm beleiver that if your do your research before hand, when it comes time to grow you will have great success.
haha even our cakes look similar:

i really look forward to seeing how things turn out, and where you decide to go next with this. i can't beleive how much fun it was, but i guess maybe its time to look into some WBS and bulk grows? whatever the future holds, i'll never forget the PF-tek and all that it has to teach.
cheers man.

Wow, our cakes do look alike. I ended up using a finer grade Vermiculite, from Sta-Green. It was all I could get my hands on.
Congratulations on your cake there too, sprouting all big and badass. (:
Casings is my next step. Already got my WBS, Quart Jars and am soon to order some Hpoo. I wouldn't mind some of Agar's Myco-nitro too, lol.
Thank you everyone, for the continued compliments and ratings.
Happy shrooming everyone. (:
