First grow in over a year...wish me luck. [updated~porn]

Hello friends!
I've been around here for a while, but had to stop growing a year or so ago for various reasons. However, now I can finally get back to one of my favorite hobbies and see what I can do.
I started with 12 pint jars. I cooked long-grain brown rice and filled the jars with the rice, pc'ing for 30 minutes or so. I then put the jars into a TiT type incubater for about 2 weeks, and here is the inside of it after the colonized jars have been removed. These slow guys were left behind to finish up.

I am using those aluminum trays traditionally used for oven baking as my casing trays. They were cased 50/50, a layer of vermiculite on the bottom, then 2 jars were broken up for the next layer, followed by the peat moss/verm casing layer. Here is a picture of the first casing...

It has been colonizing for about 3 days now in the dark.
I am using an old set-up, as you can see in my gallery. A few minor differences, nothing that would matter though. As you can see, it is well hidden and nicely humidified. 

Well, that's it for now. I'll keep you guys updated as things progress. I am interesting in spawning to bulk with these remaining few jars, I was thinking coco coir. Anyone have some input?
Peace & love guys...

Shouldn't this be in the Grow Log Forum?

Alright.
So today I got a few things done. For starters, we cased another tray from two more of the cakes. Here is my process:
1st, we lay out a small layer of sterilized and hydrated vermiculite along the bottom of the pan. After that, we cut up the cakes like so -

After that, we arranged the slices on top of the vermiculite in this manner -

We than cut up another fully colonized cake and crumbled it to fill in all the gaps and make a nice solid layer of substrate.

After everything was done and had a nice spray of some heavily diluted h202, we layered the top with a 1/2" layer of 50/50 casing layer. Unfortunately, an all day escapade yesterday yielded no crushed oyster shell or similar ph altering substances. Anyone know of something else suitable? I couldn't find any garden gypsum either. Anyways, here is the final case.

Covered it with some foil and into the incubation chamber it went.

Oh, and with some of the other jars I started a monotub type setup with some coco coir/coffee substrate. Here is it's progress after only a day and a half.

I also made a liquid culture with some karo and injected it with 1cc b+. I will be more than happy to trade some spore prints whenever my first tray has fruited. It is doing pretty well, mycelium is colonizing the top layer pretty quickly, I'll update on it with some pics either tonight or tomorrow. However, a house with 30 hits of acid and some good friends doesn't mean much productivity in the nighttime hours. 
Anyone have any suggestions for my grow? I'm really hoping to make something cool out of the coco coir/coffee tub. I'll keep you guys updated.
cheers!

Hey guys.
I checked them today after being out of the house last night, and things were great!
No pics, but the original tray is completely colonized and seems to be stalling, I have a feeling pinning is going to be very soon.
Both of the new trays were showing mycelium through the top, so I patched the older one and placed it into the fruiting chamber alongside the first tray. The newer tray was also showing mycelium so it was patched as well, but I placed it back into the incubator.
The coco coir/coffee is doing fantastic, here is a pic I took today of it.

Enjoy!

Sorry I haven't been updating too much guys, but a lot has been going on.
All three trays are now in the martha, with two of them pinning wonderfully! The first tray was about 5 days ahead so it has nice 1 1/2" pins with many many smaller ones coming right along too. The 2nd tray has just started pinning today, I expect the third to follow within the week.
My original monotub started to slow down on it's growth so I made an incubator for it, hope it picks up again, looks about ready to case. I'll get some picture up of it tonight.
I made another monotub as well with my last couple jars of WBR. It is crushed egg shells, coco coir and coffee in a clear rubbermaid with polyfill FAE ports on it, pics of that as well tonight.
I am soaking 5 jars rye grain, and if I come across some more jars I will make as many as I can with some WBS for the first time. My b+ LC is finally finished so it will be put to good use. These will be spawned to straw, more to come on that later. Here is the LC in all it's rhizomorphic glory!

I'll see you guys tonight with some georgeous eye candy, er, mycoporn. 
See you guys around,
peace & love

So the first tray is going to be ready for harvest here very soon.
Here are a few pictures of it. The only thing is the pin set was quite uneven, so now I have some that are definitely ready for picking and others that are definitely not.
Can I cut off at the base some of the larger finished ones and wait for the smaller pins to finish developing?


Peace & Love

And some more pics from yesterday...




I made a nifty new monotub too, can't really see inside it as of right now but I will let you guys know when it comes time to fruit. 

Also, I did 7 quart jars of rye grain inoculated with LC, so hopefully I will have some progress to report on that here in the next few days.
Enjoy the p0rn, far more to come.
Peace

Would it be okay to pick the larger ones late tonight or tomorrow morning?
I know in the past I have always done the whole set at once but this pinset was a little bit off, there are some smaller ones and then some that are done dropping spores already.
Any ideas?
Thanks for the good words everyone!
