First Mono Tub grow -R44- (w/pics)

As stated in the title, this was my first attempt at a mono tub grow. I think i did ok but i would like to see what you all think. I would also like to thank everyone on here for all the great ideas, techs and support. So anyway heres the results of my labor, I hope you enjoy.
Ok, so first I started with some R44 LC I had.

I prepared 6 rye berry jars and after a over night cool down I Inoculated them with the R44 LC. After about 10 days this is were they were in their growth.

6 days later and they were done (this was just the best looking three.)

I spawned the jars in a 4:1 ratio to coir/coffee 80/20 into three tubs and left them for 10 days. They were ready to case at that time. They were cased with peat/verm 60/40, and after 6 days you could see the myc peeping out to say hello.

Afew days later and all three tubs were looking very nice.
 lol, that is until the middle one got hit with the dreaded Trich 

But hey you live and you learn and you lose a cake every now and again.
So the next day I noticed some little pins looking back at me in the remaining two tubs.

Over the next two days these are the pics I got. Let the magic begin 

At this point I started picking nice open caps for printing, when all was said and done I had about 47 prints. All are in the mail as of yesterday btw. (these are some finishing up drying abit)

So after everything was picked I looked over at my jar of dry-rite an decided it just wouldn't cut it. I know this doesn't look like alot, but this is only the small tub worth.

I thought about it and decided to put this together. this is my champion ghetto bulk dehydrator. AND IT KICKS ASS!
 It's a industrial dehydrator for a large basement teamed up with a small fan and is inclosed in a large rack I had that was rigged with some window screens. It's about 80 degrees inside and it is EXTREAMLY dry, can dry to ALMOST cracker in about 12 hours.
Anyway everything is almost dry and I will post total dry weight as soon as i have it. Again thanks everyone I couldn't have done it without you.
First Flush Dry Weight= 76.6 grams from the two tubs. (abit lower than i hoped, but not to bad IMHO)

Wow, Nice my friend.
You can definately tell the similarities in the fruits from both YOUR and MY monotub. R44 definately has a distinct characteristic to it, but i cant figure out what it is yet, they are always a little shorter, but beautiful psilocybe species. 
We gotta get together and share some ideas soon.
Great grow man

I used 1cc of LC per jar.. It was abit slow in my opinion, but then again the temp prolly slowed things down.
ALSO: Updated up top with total dry weight.
