Costa Rica Cubensis PF-Tek grow log

Since there has been very little info so far on Costa Ricans, I've decided to start a grow log. I meant to order puerto ricans, but accidently ordered Costra Ricans...
Day 1:
Made up 4 pf-tek jars, (would have made more, ran out of Brown Rice) covered the top with dry verm. I covered them in tin foil, and pressure cooked for one hour. They are cooling as I type this in my "shroom vault". I'm still waiting on UPS to deliver my spores from the Spore Works... I'm going to make a couple more jars when I can pick up some BRF... and Im going to make a couple of honey LC's.
My PC:
the "vault":
all 4 jars:
and a couple of closeups:

So the Costa Rican spores arrived today. I gathered lysol, 91% ISO, paper towels, a shot glass, and my trusty zippo together. I took a shower, and sprayed the room with lysol. I wiped my work surface down with 91% ISO. I readied all 5 jars (one is from my B+ grow, the B+ never germinated in it, and it never developed contam. SO i figured what the hell)
I removed the Syringe from the bag, and assembled the needle. I wiped the needle down with ISO, then poured some ISO into the top of my shot glass. I ignited the ISO, and flame sterilized the tip.
I squirted a couple drops, and wiped with ISO. I removed the tape from my jars. I began innoculating one by one, pressing the needle tip up to the glass, and shaking the syringe well between each hole. I had 4cc's left over.
All the jars went back into the vault. I'll check on them in 5 or 7 days and give you guys an update...
(other jars are from my current(slow) B+ grow)

Bad news... out of 5 jars, 4 got contaminated with wet spot... seems to keep happening to me. Maybe I need a better PC... anyways, The one that survived is about 75% done...
Ill probably case it, since I only have one to work with.

No I mean the bacteria Wet Spot... It looks for greasy then wet. And it smells like gym socks... nasty stuff.

Update: So I lost my digital camera... looked everywhere, now I'm afraid it may have fallen into the waste basket, and taken out with the trash : (. So no pics of the harvests. I decided to just birth the cake, and I have a casing almost ready to put into the FC. The cake produced somewhat small flushes... 20 grams first flush, 15 grams second flush, and its in its third flush now.. it looks like it will be less than 5 grams. I dunked before each flush, and when it turned blue after the first flush, it never became white again, despite dunks. The casing was made with 2 cakes, so hopefully my yields will be a tad better. The viels on the Costa Ricans seemed to take a little longer to break than the B+. The fruit bodies are meatier than the B+ (B+ have hollow stems) I ate 3.5 grams of dried Costa Ricans, and though I had a fairly intense trip, it was less visual than the B+. It was a heavy body, and head high... I spoke to aliens, and had a slight out of body experiance. Im sorry I dont have any pictures, but if I find my camera, I will put pics up asap.

casing will give you double the yield, at least!
