Nice shaping bro! They've been timed well!
It's an old trick for SOME strains, but if your feeling adventurous you could try drying them out a bit and shortening the light cycle to around 10hrs to get a little more resin production.

Well... sort of. You can make / sterilise your own cakes, Inoculate them with you own (or some purchased) spores.

The Method is known as "PFTEK" as coined by a mycologist who calls himself "psilocybe fanaticus". see here ---> http://www.fungifun.org/English/Pftek
If you purchase spores, get them as a print and not a syringe, after all it WILL be scanned through customs.

Hey Miyags, did you ever put gipsum (calcium) and coffee water into your cubensis cakes? if not you should try it, I had shrooms that no shit look like the hulk. 52g one shroom (wet)... so i think it was around 5g dry... and for the record, I rekon it was stronger too.

""It's long been known that adding 1 tablespoon(not ten percent) of gypsum to the basic brf recipe for 5 jars will improve performance. The cakes can also be hydrated with weak coffee rather than plain water, but no more than 1/2 drinking strength." <--- Psilocybe Fanaticus Forum Post


edit: 2x flushes of hulk shrooms, then a flush of tiny caps from a martini glass cake.

Lucky for me at the moment my mate in WA (not tezz) has been posting me pre-colonised cakes so I haven't had to make one in a while, just birth to the fc and whammo! Haven't had to make a cake in a while but yeah I have that recipe. I dunk in old fish tank water, dissolved nitrogenous waste is a massive boost for well colonised cakes and they won't contam at that point. Hit me up in pm if you need spores though, I have plenty of prints and a few special ones on agar and that travels through the post easy as, it's just a chunk of jelly!

What strain is it? If temps arent an issue you might have too much nitrogen (leaves are a bit dark and canoed downwards)... but this could be temps and genetically that dark.
Was the new growth pale and a bit curly during stretch?

Been there, done that, makes it pretty recognisable! Just snapped a couple of pics of the cakes and printed a couple of caps. Can't find the mrs' camera cable though and my cam still isn't working. Will have to get onto it later, got to do a little yardwork, I'm off for now
