First flush pics! And a question or 2....

Only one person knows I grow, and she lives with me so it wasnt any big surprise to her, and I gotta tell someone sooo......

Brazilian 541.2 wet 
WBS to coir/coffee, cased 50/50.
Actually, I shouldnt say its my first flush, its the first casing flush. The first flush was a few cakes around 2 weeks ago.
Everything went ok until I cased. Fruit flies showed up, it took almost a month to fruit after the casing layer was applied, my new taylor 1458 died, then I dont know WTF happened with my greenhouse, but the coolmist that drenched everything when I first got it suddenly could barely pump out 75%. I have a masons hygrometer so its probably not incorrect readings. I actually thought the coolmist was broken so I bought another but it didnt help. Must be the dry winter weather plus the space heater. So that flush has some small shrooms, and I think the big ones could of been bigger. The big ones are all side pinners. A ultrasonic has hopefully fixed all that, so hopefully it (usually) will just get better from here!
Oh yeah, my questions...this casing:

Has some withered shrooms on the right. Any idea why? Flies infested this one bad, could they have done something?
Also, when I first inoculated everything a while ago, I used EQ, Brazilian and columbian. BRF and WBSF cakes, and coffee/coir bins like you see. 2 coffee/coir casings, and 4 cakes of each strain. The columbians consistantly turned out very few shrooms, while the others in the same conditions did OK. I know others have done well with this strain....is it possible I just got a shitty syringe? Does that happen?
Thanks for all the informative info BTW! This site rocks!

My guess is shit luck with the multi-spore inoculation. The only other thing that I could think of is that that case was fighting contams, and eventually won, but at the expense of your yield. Dunno.
Clone the larger shrooms off that first case, and start cranking out bigger flushes as you get your FC and humidifier issues worked out. Sterilize that FC real good before you progress on to other projects.
What was your spawn ratio?
Good job, dude.

I tried to keep the spawn ratio pretty high just to be on the safe side. 2 or 3 WBS quarts to 4 or 5 quarts of coffee/coir. So around 2:1.
Definitely going to clone on the next batch. I wanted to wait till the humidity & bug issues were taken care of first though. Those nice even pinsets from clones look really cool!
It had been almost 20 years since I took shrooms. I havent laughed like that in a long time!

Glad you saw it through to the end. There may be a couple worth cloning in there like thedefone said.

yea I've been spawning almost 1:1 lately... but I'm going to stop doing that since I'm just wasting spawn IMO
