bzl's updated grow (pictures)

Hey everybody!
I am very excited to inform you all that i have recently got pins on 2 of my tubs and 2 of my cakes. My first tub is a mini-tub that i started a while back, it contains a single brown rice cake crumbled to straight coir. Needless to say the tub has started pinning a few days ago and i have 10 pins in total starting to turn into mature fruits.
(Brazilian Strain)



My second tub has started to knot already. someone once said in this forum, "You will know when you have hyphal knots.". For the first time i have acknowledged that hyphal knots have a very distinct character (Strong opaque white spheres). In the following pictures there are clear and accurate representations of hyphal knotting and the phase from hyphal knotting to pin formation.
(Brazilian Strain)


My third tub was spawned to 3 days ago. it contains 5 pint cakes crumbled to coir and coffee. Surprisingly enough, my tub us already almost colonized due mostly to the ration 1:2 (cakes:coir).
(Brazilian Strain)


My last setup was experimental for the most part. I built a small double tub to house 2 cakes and a bed of perlite. I drilled out holes at the height of the perlite and drilled 4 larger holes stuffed with polyfill near the higher end of the top tub. I misted and fanned ,multiply times, daily regardless of its build to ensure a better fruiting environment and today i have noticed 2 pins per cake (the pins on the fourth picture are hard to stop but they're there) and more should be coming up soon.




Cheers and Enjoy,
bzl.

the bottom casing or "reservoir" (as known here) on the last two pictures (cakes) is straight vermiculite. The top casing (on the picture with the big pins) is a 40/60 (coir/vermiculite) mixture, pasteurized.

I have heard lately that bottom casings should be avoided. Don't ask me why, as I never use them, but a quick search (or RR) should come up with the answer

yea... we're not talking about a "bottom casing" (i don't use any), we're talking about the casing in the bottom picture.

does anyone have any ideas for my next grow? what do you guys think of taking it larger scale (a really big tub)? Not HUGE but just bigger than normal?

Do a kiddie swimming pool. Someone keeps joking about it but I haven't seen it yet and it needs to be done. Maybe a small pool but a pool none-the-less.

wow... a swimming pool is so NOT happening. no offense to the originator of the idea but its an awful idea, but I'd love to see it happen regardless. I was thinking more along the lines of a big tub with big substrate depths.

UPDATE:
The minitub is now the home of some pretty gigantic mushrooms. I believe one of my mushrooms in there (biggest one) is about 6 inches long and incredibly thick.
My other tub has started to pin already and has about 15- visible pins. Alongside my tubs, the cakes are also home to about 5 shrooms a piece.
I know this is an overasked question but im going to ask it anyways (In a different fashion).
can someone give me a size to weight comparison so i can guess my yields? Like what size shroom weighs what usually?

when should i pick guys? i have 3 bundles of shrooms (pairs). on all pairs 1 mushrooms is huge and the others are mediocre in size. the veils have just broken on the big ones. should i pick them or wait till the other ones open as well?
also when are they going to crap all over the place (drop spores)?

Pick each mushy independently if possible when it's veil tears. If not possible it is up to you, do you want spore mess? If not, pick as soon as the first veil tears.
After a few hours of the veil breaking spores start to drop. I have had spores drop as little as 6 hours after the veil started to tear a bit.
