I got the same scale, does yours keep popping open on it's own?
Very nice haul from cakes.

i just dunk/roll'd my cakes for 2nd flush. the 1st was bullshit. i wish it was half as productive as yours. i think high temperature might have been a factor. or FAE. or fuck. this is my first grow. all of the above. i changed the FC around a bit for round 2. drinking straw'd 3 of 6 cakes.
we'll see.
i didn't put all my eggs in one basket though. birthing wbs straw casings soon.
how are you handling your FC, misting/fae wise?

Good job! 10g dry. Now eat them. You have to. It's customary when you complete your first grow!
Report back...

I had a contaminated cake, so I salvaged as much of the healthy mycelium as I could and "cased" it with some verm- it had it's first flush a few days ago. That's what your seeing under that cake on the top left.
I'm borrowing the scale from a friend, but it doesn't seem to be popping out on it's own...yet haha
the_drummer, get ready for some excitement!
Barkley, sorry to hear that. I try to mist the terrarium 5-6 times a day and fan 20-30. I wouldn't keep my temperature above 80 or so, since contams thrive in higher temperatures. I definitely recommend piling verm on top of the cakes so you can pour water into it and give the cakes enough water to produce a good harvest. I keep that verm layer moist at all times. Other than that, I've been making a lot of little stupid mistakes (dropping the cakes in perlite and even on the floor, at times i've soaked the cakes when I was frustrated and wanting them to pin). It seems to be a pretty forgiving hobby.
Haha, I like your style Noggin. Hopefully I'll be eating them tonight.
BTW, I didn't label the cakes- anyone have any idea what strains these are? They all look like b+ to me. I dunno though.
Thanks for the comments all!

i think that about sums up most fungi guywhodoesthings. they do what they're genetically programmed to do. if we help them along with our hobby love by reducing natural competition, then they have the upper hand and we reap the benefits. very cool relationship. we make out-they make out. it's a win-win situation alright.

You may want to try spacing out your cakes a little more, they like it when they have room to do thier thing!

Yeah my terrarium is pretty small and dinky. I'm hoping the cakes are benefiting from a microclimate being so close to eachother. I'll def get a bigger terrarium for my next grow.
