First Grow-Pics. Low Yeild?

this is my first grow. The strain is equadors and have done everything in the most ghetto way possible such as boiling instead of Preasure cooker, drinking glasses for colonization, and a 2l bottle for a FC as you can see. Enjoy my pictures and let me no why i have such a low yeild when i have done everything exact. Oh their is a small shroom growing at the bottom if you cant see it in the picture. That is 4 shrooms in total.
The first picture is my setup before i saw fruits.
These pictures are a week and a half after dunked and placed into the FC.
Although i have a low yeild, i am happy i have something to dry and eat. I would like to thank the Shroomery for this and everyone that helped, even the assholes who made me feel like a bigger noob than i was.
I hope you can see the pictures, and let me no why it is such a low yeild so i can change up with my other cakes. ive been reading different things.
Thank you

i would have let those grow a little longer. but anyways make sure you dunk them for 24 hours after this flush it should help for the next flush to turn out better.

One cake is barely enough for one person to trip. When I used to grow off cakes, I think I got about 1/4 oz dry off of 8 cakes through several flushes.
Good luck, though.

when i did cakes i averaged about 25-40 grams (wet) for the first flush. and second was usually pretty close to the same for me. however i only ever did grow 5 cakes before i gave them away. and i did the dunk and roll everytime.

You will get far more pins with better 40w fluorescent light on a 12/12 timer.

Did you ever dunk..roll..or case? I think all three increase yield significantly....

do 12 1/2 pint cakes in a shotgun FC with RH at 99% misting twice & fanning 6-10 times a day and you will get significantly more per cake then you did in a 2ltr bottle. (of course dunk n roll) I got about 1.5oz dry off 6 cakes and 3 flushes and that was not spectacular.

When I grew cakes my average was 7.3 grams dry per cake the first flush. 5 grams dry second flush. And contamed before 3rd flush. Cakes are simple projects that can be great yielders for personal use

You forgot to mention that the bulb needs to be in the 6500k spectrum to be effective.

What size of cake is that, looks smaller than a 1/2 pint. Even at that i have seen 1/4 pint cakes produce 80 grams from a single flush.
Remember you are growing from MS, so your performance can vary greatly.
Dunk before each flush, after colinisation alot of the moisture has been used up. Also roll your cakes in dry verm, then after an hour mist the cakes to moisten the verm.
FAE is a very important pinning trigger. Mist then fan your bottle out 4-5 times daily.
That light looks like an incandescent bulb which is a poor choice. Look for a CFL bulb that says daylight on the box.

lol thank you for these replies. I should have given out more details .
Fae: 5-10 times a day Humidiity:99% always Light : 9w Flourescent light 12/12 cycle
i put small holes all around right above the perlite for FAE and CO2 exit.
Dunked and attempted to roll (verm was to big)
I am thinking that it was a low yeild because i have noticed that this cake was significantly smaller than my otehr cakes because it looks like the myc ate the nutrients like a feast during incubation which caused it to shrink. I am still not sure why tho because one cake i just birthed is alot bigger than the one in the picture and was colonizing for much longer.
ima just keep doing what im doing i guess and maybe pick up the recomended lighting spectrum or w.e.
thanks for the replies il keep you posted up.
Oh and what weight do you guys think i will get of those shrooms you see in the pic. Wet and Dry weight. I no it wont be something big but im just curious.

Hey, you got something and well.........something is good for a start.
I agree on a cold shock, dunk in water and put into the fridge for a soak.

Don't cold shock. Don't dunk in fridge. That's totally stupid.
Dunk in cold tap water in room temperature, 24 hours before first flush and 12 hours before each next flush.

Hey now, its not "stupid", just "outdated". If you were cultivating only three years ago, cold dunking was THE only way to get good pinsets. And mycelium COULDNT grow in a syringe from a vendor, and casing material was a MUST. And then, like Moses coming from atop the mount, a certain Rabbit came along and said: Your wrong! So, give the newer people a break. Remember, they may be reading these old "ways" after finding them in the searches.

No I just haven't grown shrooms in well over three years.
So why not cold shock anymore.........I must admit that would only be good for spring mushrooms.......some strains fruit in the summer, fall or early winter.
