Came back from my week-long trip, and what do I find? A tubful of pr0n:

Pinset wasn't as great as I was hoping for, but I'm still pretty pleased with the results. Picked most of the first flush between yesterday and today for roughly 630 grams wet. Biggest one was a bit over 30 grams. Various stages of drying under a ceiling air vent:

Yum! There is still a handful left in the tub, with a couple of new pins (and probably a decent number of aborts). They don't look ready yet so I was planning on picking in a day or two. What do you think?

Kind thanks to everyone who answered questions along the way. Couldn't have done this without the Shroomery!

Those look like they are going to be fun!! I am looking for a similar sight in about 2-3 months. I just inoculated 8 jars today.

Update: Harvested the rest of the first flush including the aborts that I could pick off. It looks like it's knotting like crazy, so I thought it would be best to leave it alone rather than go after the few aborts that remain and rip apart the casing in the process. 726.9 wet grams 
Just out of curiosity, any idea why these shrooms are growing all crooked? A few actually grew almost horizontally along the casing. The lid and top half of the tub is translucent and should be letting light in. They're sitting by a window with shades partly drawn, which is providing a pretty good amount of light.

What strain is that? Some strains tend to grow crazy like that. Panama, Quezon, and Z strain are some that come to mind.

I have a question
When you went away for a week, wasn't it a problem that the fruiting chamber wouldn't be getting fresh air exchange?
Thanks !

Should have mentioned -- strain is Costa Rica from Sporeworks. I haven't really found other grows using that strain. I might try something more typical like B+ next time.

Yes, it was a monotub, but I think I made the holes too small so I ended up hooking up a Tropicaire humidifier with a small air pump into one of the holes (see the tube on the bottom?) on a 2 hr on/2 hr off cycle to add air and moisture. I ended up taking the polyfil out of some of the holes so it wouldn't get oversaturated.

The Ron Popeil kind of set-up, huh? But wait, there's more.
