15 pins only, on what seems to be the 1st flush because the noob didn't realize the substrate was too dry and probably because of premature pinning. Gah!!!!
Some cambodians are looking albino, mainly the ones that cracked majorly in the beginning due to dryness...it's weird..the caps are nearly all white. Live n learn..

My second flushes are always better than my first. Don't get too frustrated, if you hydrate properly you might get an amazing second flush

Yeah. Just ran into some dumb noobie issues, this is the 1st time trying any sort of grow.
The pins initiated prematurely, so couldn't case The substrate was dry, but didn't notice that until things started cracking.
2nd tub got infested with green mold, was way too wet...
So now that there's a small grasp of how moist the substrate needs to be (squeeze test blows, it's so subjective), maybe next time will be better.

You might be able to ryhydrate it some while its still pinning without hurting anything. It may just give the shrooms that are growing that extra bit of moisture to hopefully grow big to make up for the lack of pins.
I think you may possibly can run some water down the sides of the substrate then drain of any excess that remains in a few hours

yeah, 1 cup of water was poured into the tub 24 hours ago. jeet said it takes 3 days for his to absorb 3 cups worth, there's still some water after 24 hours, but not as much, so it's suckin it up, thankfully..hopefully it'll get better the 2nd time around
soooo much better than dealing with dunking a whole monotub...in a TUB! screw that hassle! lol

You should be able to get a better pinset on the 2nd flush, my first flush from my cakes that i have going at the moment, didnt pin to well first time round, though i did get a few biggies.
Im on the second flush and all 3 cakes have pinned a hell of a lot better, more than twice as many.
