man i thought it was just a bad first casing but these just came out of a different coir monotub (50/50 casing)
could this be genetics (i got the syringe from s-works)
 im tired of these little fucks, i had MAYBE a 0.5 level trip off 3.4 grams (havent tripped since bonnaroo) and after seeing all these amazing results all over the shroomery i want some meaty guys.
the temp and humidity has been right on key 72 degrees 95 humidity.
pins keep popping up....there seems to be no "first flush" every 12 hours i have to pick 2-3 more

That's i can almost guarantee too much c02 and not enough FAE.

Damn, I can understand you're disappointment! The look really shitty and when you say they're also weak in potency, it suck double!
Try some other substrate or casing layer and see if it keeps getting so retarded. If so, it's the genetics.

I would just go ahead and get some new spores before your next attempt. It may be genetics or it may be your growing technique, but I've never found mushrooms to be that hard to grow honestly. I'd be willing to bet you just got shitty spores.

i doubt its your substrate or casing layer, it's likely genetics or serious lack of FAE

what strain? I doupt it is genetics or sw problem. Some contams cause mushrooms like that. The contams are not always visible. it is most likely your fault. Show us the casing with clear pics

Drill abunch of 1/4th inch holes in your terrarium for better air currents....FUCK Polyfill its just NOT good for a fruiting chamber...you want as much FAE as you can possibly have...the way it pins is with AS MUCH FAE as you can get with it...misting when dry...leave the lid ajar.....there now try again

poor performance-why? [Re: Fahkface]

Fat stems, small caps, and tiny overall mushrooms is a sure sign of dry substrate, little or no light, and poor air exchange. Fix those three things and try again. Also, this isn't OTD so edit your thread title before you post again, or I will.
Next time, rather than ranting, try giving a bit more information about the grow. Substrate depth and pH is important. Casing layer makeup, pH and depth, and air exchange provisions are also important. I don't personally use the monotub tek, but others have had great results, so it's certainly viable. Perhaps you packed the polyfill too tight, thus restricting airflow? How bright, and what color temperature is your light source? Perhaps answering the above will pinpoint your problem. RR

sorry RR and thank you!
i used the 50/50 recipe in this thread from monstermitch. and my substrate is 4 inches of coir/coffee with added calcium carbonate.
i set the monotub by a window so it gets natural light only.
i think i kno where to start tweaking my process so thank you all and more advice would be lovely if you got any.
