End of the first flush from 1 jar. Not bad for a first attempt... It'll probably be about 6-8 grams dry. These picked much easier and didn't pull up the mycelium from underneath.
I'm surprised by how small the caps are - range from dime to quarter size (b+ strain). This is their normal size?
On to the second flush. Are there any preparations necessary for this other than keeping humidity and temperature?

My first few mushrooms were pretty small too the later ones were a lot bigger for me, I grew B+ too. My biggest cap was bigger than a half dollar and was like the 14th flush. I think they just grow however big they want, nice job hope you have a good time 
. What I did once I noticed the cake starting to shrivel up was add about of inch of water to the jar and literally just ignored them for around a week and would come back to more, I even stopped caring about the lighting keeping them in the dark most of the time and still grew.
Here's my biggest ones, b+

Real good job. How many jars did you start up? And oc those jars. How many were a success?

Started w/ 10 and lost 8.
I've identified some areas for improvement when I do round 2. Plan is to use these spores to inoculate

Good job. Regardless of the numbers. As you can see. 2 out of 10 (20%) success rate is still incredibly rewarding. Those two jars alone should give you and your lady months of personal enjoyment. I assume just those two are worth the time and expenses.

The old adage regarding mastery.
Watch one
Do one
Teach one.
Tell us your ideas on improvement.
Remember, this was meant to replace pf as a starting point. Now you see how it all works. Bet you can get 80peecent next time. After that, please abandon this method.
Move on. Make your own way.
Or not.

One more thing. Cubensis are a blast, you can easily grow enough for you and your friends for a lifetime.
But if you get the bug.. Try edibles
Oysters are as easy or easier.
Shitaki are simple wood lovers. Check them out.
Then if you want, try out the harder ones.
You are a grower of pot. You are one with the light side of totality.
Now visit the dark side, the decomposers. The other half of life.
The part most never see. Tend worms, learn molds and compost.
Now you see more totally.
