Overall assessment of the Pearly Gate grow, perfect surface conditions the entire time, didn't start misting until the 2nd day of pinning (Lightly once in the morning that's it), the 12qt tub is modified with little holes, hard to tell but you can see them in certain pics. I flipped the lid for additional air probably 2 days ago 2.5 or something. They weren't showing wet feet or anything, was just time to bump up the Air for fruit development and no more misting. Some of the photos show beads still on the fruits Days later (and surface), wasn't me, just doing what it does. No Side pins (always a plus, hate dirty side PINS, always a PITA to clean after dehydrating, I usually don't keep those) had a small tear in the liner in the corner that exposed a tiny portion of the sub, all good... surface on point. I like the size of the fruits, the biggest one is almost touching the flipped lid (might need to dub it this last day or 2, but not too tall), and thick dense fruits, you poke them nothing squishy happening there. Great primordia formation but FAIL on the MS LC pinset, but I wouldn't be surprised if the tub does well on the scale. The last time I grew these, 5 biggest fruits weighed over 20g dry. I do like growing these, you can see the bumpy upper stipe like Melmak, and the TaT of course. I'm definitely keeping this one in the Arsenal. 
Movin' On, I forgot about the two small Melmak tubs that I put in my old Mono tub, just starting to show some Pins, but cameras battery died and is charging, I'll get up some pics, not much to see but a few pins anyway that are small. It's just starting to REV Up.
And last but not least, my Ps Cyan tub that is in the Garage fruiting (about 50-55F most of the time and a bit colder peak morning) I put the tub out cased with cactus soil on 2.3.23... day after Groundhog Day. Sorry folks, 6 more weeks of Winter! 
I went with a solid thickness for a casing layer, uneven woodchips and all, but it's pretty level and just starting to poke through those little thin branch-like fingers reaching out to the surface. You can see in the pics below how they shoot up to the surface, really cool looking. Anyway, really excited it's doing it's thing, but not getting my hopes up it will fruit. This is the time of year they will pop if they are going to in my Region (9b). If not, I'll add to the bed and expand some more. Speaking of Outside, I did seem some possible white primordia blobs, not sure if it's wishful thinking, I did put those chips in last early March I want to say so they have been in the ground about a year. Who knows, long term project... keep at it.
Tub is near an East facing small window, no direct light when the lid (grey) is on. Gets a little bit of early light shielded, then indirect light all day. Only a small corner of the tub is exposed to the window through some old broken blinds.
And my latest project I almost forgot to mention, a print that was given to me by a fellow fungus friend. Horrible pic, I'll get a better one up later, but I finally got around to dropping it to Agar and this is a T-1 dropped on 2.4.23. I'm legit, scared of the potency of this one, I know the Cyans are strong, but Azzies are supposed to be the strongest. I wouldn't know, never had the pleasure, but I'm working on Cyans to find out first hand No doubt. Another future endeavor bucket list sort of mushroom to grow. I appreciate the print, I need to go through my stuff and thin the heard so to speak. I'm stockpiled up like a chipmunk ready for Winter. Ya'll take Care.
I'll get a better photo, but it's a clean T-1 transfer. A little bacterial from spore plate (No sporulation), but that's to be expected from a wild specimen I was told. I'll keep a watchful eye out, 5 days in and clean always makes me happy.

So hopefully soon, I'm playing with my new toys, I picked up Starry Night APE and APE pigment revert, and a freebie Enigma which I've always wanted a crack at. I dropped 2 Starry Night, 2 Revert, 2 FP+(my own LC), and one of my original APE LC's that I've grown multiple times. I'm going for the APE Trilogy.... dang it, that's a dope ass thread starter Name too.
