Well you definetly should get a good amount w that large of a grow. I mentioned it in another shroom thread on here but why dont you try casings? In my experiance casings produces a lot more weight then cakes. With that large of a grow my opinion would be to fruit sum using casings and others with the cakes.

quarter ounce per cake, at best. 72 cakes is a lot all at once and not the best return on the effort. you might get some contaminated and some might not fruit right. 12-16oz for the whole grow, at best.

casings are great, spawned bulk is best.

So in less then a month you went from no growth to not only fully MYC on 72 cakes but full blown fruiting resulting in 3 pounds? Magical.

Go bulk next time with some WBS and save some effort

doubt it, i did the math on your stuff a while ago.

72 pint jars = 24 cups of BRF @ 125g/cup, that's 3kg or 6.6lb.

which means that you would have to convert 50% of the BRF into mushrooms, which is highly unlikely. typical conversion is 10-25%.

and all of that assumes that you didn't lose any cakes to contamination, highly unlikely.

what did you fruit 72 cakes in?

how did you dry 30lb of mushrooms down to 3lb?

if you can post a picture, i'd believe it, but words on the hyperweb are skeptical.
