The shotglass sized cakes ended up working alright, colonized completely in about 2 weeks, fruited pretty quickly got only 2-3 shrooms out of each one average size is about half of a no.2 pencil (I blame my FC for that though) only problem was the fruits got too big and cakes got top heavy and fell over mid-flush so shrooms still grew but in a different direction ended up with stems that were shaped like funky C's.  It's not a bad idea for the impatient but I need to give em more sitting room in FC because they fell over directly on the perlite. 

Now My first flush is done and trying to work on my FC, (Going to use normal size cakes this time) trying to emulate Fattrouts because it seems to be working for him.  BTW I agree Perilite is a PITA.  Going to go find a store and get geolite and make a new chamber this weekend.  Had some questions. Your pic in the other post shows some kind of rod taped up to the inside above the geolite, is that your air exchange?  In poorman's pod post he puts 2 18inch bubblers beneath perilite which is what I did but I think it pushed too much air.  If you could hook me up with some more pics or info on your poor-man's setup when you have time Id happily give you my first-born male child

I've got the same fc going average temp about 69, humidity 99% air exchange from bubble stone underneath perlite but i have one non-dunk and rolled in with two dunk and rolled, been over a week and all im getting from the two dunk and rolled is spiky mycellium all over, the non-dunked is fruiting kinda weak, wondering whats up, what i can do to get something out of the dunk-and-rolled.

Hey everyone I joined the forum a couple weeks ago, been doing my research for a month and finally started my science experiment last weekend with some Pensicola,  the 4-12 ounce jars I started with look to be coming along pretty well, Don't have an incubator but the house usually stays between 70-80. 

This weekend thought I'd try to be clever maybe some quicker results... so I bought and sterilized some 2 ounce shot glasses.  Inoculation went a lot smoother than last week, used the PESA strain, anyone know what to expect?

Also I have a tendency to get really trigger-happy with the syringes...dunno what helps with that.

Thanks for the help, the info on this site is incredible
