Elephant Dung - The strain, not the crap! [Update - 05.03.08]

Yeah, yeah! This is going to be just another one of these more or less senseless threads about cultivating a cube strain, take pictures and not giving any real information about it.
The info is: I crumbled two fully colonized PF-jars put them in a try, on a thin, slightly misted bottom layer of verm and cased it with a layer made of coir/verm/coffee.
I let it colonize for a two days and threw it in the FC.
Because I wanted to test it, I didn't wrap the tray in foil so it was pretty likely that there will be several side pins to develop.
Anyway, at first everything looked quiet good. Plenty of little pins formed but unfortunately most of them didn't really grow; only a few got bigger. When the mycelium began to be pushed away from the side of the tray by the side pins, I decided to take the myc-brick out to let them grow more free.
Nevertheless, I think they are quiet beautiful, so it wasn't a waste of time and material after all 
Here are the pics:

elephant dung is suppose to be hands down the all time best bulk substrate for growing cubensis.
I'll be taking a trip to the zoo in the summer to collect some nice fruits BTW, those side pins however can just be left to mature and harvested once every things finished.
Nice grow man, let us know about the potency of the Elephant dung cubie, never tryed them before

As the tittle says, it's "Elephant dung". A Thai strain, as far as I know.
And for the potency: I wasn't able to test it yet, but I'm pretty sure it's gonna be just as potent as any other cube, although the Thai strains are said to be a little more potent.

A kind of second flush has developed. Again, few fruits, but we'll see, how they turn out in the end...
29.02.08
The pinset actually looked quiet promising...

02.03.08
As the first flush, the mycelium seems to concentrate on only few fruits to make them big and tasty...
