Looks like you've got some pretty rhizomorphic growth there! Good Job! Hopefully you'll feel comfortable enough to work with grains after you get how it works.

Day 19: All the jars are at 100% colonization. 3 of the jars have been incubating for 5 days now and i am waiting for the rest to incubate a little bit longer. I also knocked up 6 jars of GT strain. Im gonna wait 3 more days and then i will case them. Thanks for viewing, drop me any comments or suggestions you may have.

Why did you case some? Unless you are spawning to bulk it isn't worth it as dunking and rolling between flushes will give the same if not better results.
http://www.shroomery.org/9735/Should-I-crumble-and-case-my-cakes
On the other hand it is a good way to practice casings and will also help to prove this exact same point to you through your own experimentations
Good job

I have read that article and i just felt i would try both and see which one worked out better under my conditions, as we all know mushrooms grow differently from place to place and person to person so i just wanted to try both and see what happened.

Hope everything turned out ok; right now I'm where you were on your Day 10, around 70% colonization. Been keeping an eye on this thread for a while now.. Good Luck!

Day 39: Well I got home today to find a FC BURSTING with mushies, the only problem is i lost alot of spores all over the place, but w/e. I had a total of 37 caps 12 of which were 1.5 inches in diameter or bigger. Thanks Shroomery I will have a dry weight up in a few days! Sorry I dont have pics of them on the cakes/casing but it was such a gross mess

Not even counting days anymore:) The first flush's dry weight was 12 grams and the second flush is starting to come in, i have about 8 decent size pins and some other ones starting to pop up. Next week I will let you know how potency was. I believe 3g for testing should be effecient, agreed?

3 grams for sure! I like to do compare and contrast with one gram dry. I know it's a small amount, but you kind of get a better understanding of potency with a gram. To put things in perspective, in the past when i had to purchase them, I always paid by the gram, so that to me is a true "guage".

good idea i will try that before the 3 grams, hopefully my second flush will be done by then too, that way i'll have some more to test.

2nd Flush is almost done. Tested the potency with one gram and i must say it was one of the best adventures ive ever had. It was a very mental and enlightening trip as well as good visually. I did 15 different art pieces in the timne being and gained insight on some interesting questions. B+ deffinately gets my thumbs up on potency!
