another R-44 grow

Okay, here is another attempt to grow using R-44 strain.... some may remember the optimal success I had with the last attempt, it looks like this one is going good as well, but the pins are kind of growing "wiggly?" if that makes sense.
I have kept to the same parameters as the last grow, so we'll see how this one turns out...

looking good, what was the total dry weight of the last r44 tubs after all flushes, i didn't see a final weight in the post. whatever it was, i know it's a damn lot!
btw, what's your coolmist cycle? you use that to provide all humidity and active FAE?

Total dry weight from previous grow was around 1000 grams dried. My second flush didn't go so well, not sure why, but I think it might have been something to do with the moisture that was exhumed during the first flush, and with a tub this large, it's kind of hard to "EASILY" dunk the substrate without it breaking apart and creating a mess, so I said the hell with it and started another grow.
I'll tell you, since nailing down how to properly get a liquid culture going and utilizing it in place of multi-spore, it makes a HUGE difference in time.
My coolmist, I have hooked up to BOTH tubs with just washer drain tubing and a tee. I have it running 24/7 to provide the air and humidity.
Hope this helps you

Yeah, here it is... I pretty much used the same substrate mix with this one as I did with the other. I don't really measure quantity, but rather just eyeball it.

okay, here is an update...
Now I am not sure whats going on with the tub that isn't as developed as the one with the nice flush, but I think it might be from air exchange... I may have stuffed to dense a wad of polyfill into the breather hole. But I am happy with the other tubs' performance... I will let in go for the day, and harvest tonight, and I'll post pics for you guys...
I am curious how my previous grow had MONSTER mushrooms, and this one they are all staying medium sized compared to the last grow...?? anyways, I still have yummy mushrooms, so I am happy

Well, the liquid culture was first started with multi spore... I am not sure how that relates to my problem, but any information would be helpful...
I wanted to work on an isolate so bad, but time and work wouldn't allow me to so I had to skip it for a while at least.

okay, well, I didn't take any photo's of the actual harvest, cuz I hadn't the time or the hands to snap photos, but here you will see my drying set up...
I have 11 layers of mushrooms on filters between 2 fans.



I'm guessing around 9 dry ounces or so...
Oh yeah, this was only from the first tub... I am letting the second one go for a few more days, to let it fully develop.

How many gallons is that tub? How long is your drying time with that setup?
