Sooooo no OP updates since the New years harvest. Hope it went well 
.
cheers! You can let the apes mature a little bit longer usually than other strains. They don't drop spores, and I usually leave them 12-24 hours after the caps open up. They will usually double in size. If you let them go too long they will start to feel much softer because the cells expanded so much. As long as you pick them it won't hurt anything, but I try to get them before they loose their density.
.Nice flushes

Doc did which is why I thought you might have seen it, I know you follow his page here and grow his beans.
Thread hijack here, but relevant because I'm using PF Tek. If I'm out of bounds, let me know and I'll start a new thread.
Can I take a mycelium "puck" (as I call it), break it apart, and spread portions of it in new PF Tek containers, instead of injecting spores from a syringe? Will the mycelium grow out just from a broken piece of previously-inocculated medium?
I'm thinking long-term here. I want to sort out a perpetual.

Any good sites you know of for beginners? How tos, and where to get supplies (spores and substrates, etc)

I’ve never tried it with pftek but you can do it with grain. You can research “grain to grain transfer”. Learning about agar would really be a great step as well. Agar plates can be used to isolate and reproduce spawn.
I will have a look, thank you.
I started off with nothing but a statement about where to buy a spore syringe. I ran from that, looked up all my info online. For me, it's all about being able to identify the stupid from the realistic.
I went with the realistic.
If all works out, I'll make a thread on here. If it doesn't work out, I'll try again, and if successful, I'll make a thread on here.
Until then, it's taking in information, and throwing out the cruft.
So far, I've gotten quality responses, and will continue my shroom grow following the PF Tek method, with slight modifications to suit my environment.
Follow along... there's not much I do that I fail at.

If it helps ive taken what I thought were spent mycelium pucks and broken them up...mixed them with equal parts manure compost...placed that mix layer on top of soil in a pot...watered that pot n threw it under my back deck/porch...and the mycelium growth took over n produced a few rounds of shrooms...took a couple weeks for 1st flush but they were HUGE...
