first attempt at coir and coffee

my first attempt was a success, but not as great as I thought it could turn out. I made 2 trays, each around 3 quarts big, with 1 quart of wbs koh samui spawned to each. the amount of coffee wasn't that great, probably around 5%.
my first mistake was leaving the coir too wet, which I found out after one of the casings contammed (trich). I dumped it into a bag outside and saw that it could only colonize about 40-45% of the entire tray so..meh, I know now that coir is a little bit tricky to get the water right. well, at least for me anyways.
the other tray on the other hand didn't contaminate, and continued to produce a half ounce dry on the first flush, and I expect a little over a quarter ounce from the second flush once it's finished drying.
needless to say it has been an exciting grow, with the one tray producing some of the biggest fruits I've seen so far in my cultivating journey; a few being around 11-12 grams fresh. some of you may laugh , but that translates into roughly one gram dry per each of those fruits and I've never had them that big before. 
here's a pic of one of them in the dehydrator
 I appreciate any comments

I am having the same experience with some Koh Samui BRF cakes spawned to coir. Just got a few huge fruits.

What's the amp, what pedal is that? What music do you play. I'm a bassist for a local Seattle band. PM me.
