This is the coolest feeling in the world. After all the hard work and waiting...and waiting...and waiting this is where I'm at. The first cake put into the fruiting chamber is about ready for harvest. The other 5 are following right in its footsteps with pins pins and more pins How do they look? I'm using a grow chamber with fan and coolmist humidifier, so I've been tweekin the hell out of it for some time now. Any suggestions, more humidity, less humidity, more FAE? Now for the good stuff.....

That looks like perfection. I would not change a thing.
Also, the third picture looks pretty fucking scary if you ask me. Is that in an attic? Does it light up all purple like that or is it more white?

Already have 6 wbs pints going. The Huautla is around 90% colonized. The Ecuadorians are lagging behind a bit but still coming along. I'm going to use the homemade mycobag tek and use a mason jar lid instead of a pvc pipe. Then pc the substrate screw the jar of wbs to the top of the bag then dump the wbs in the bag and then tyvec or pollyfill it up. Think it will work? O and I switch out the towel every day or two.

I just needed something to soak up water that condensates on the top and sides that falls to the bottom. I assume perlite would work, but i left mine at the shop(doing tests with it on absorbing moisture out of fuel). Will the towel be a breading ground for bacteria and fungus, is that why I shouldn't use it?

Thanks man I definitely couldn't have done it without all the helpful peeps and info that i gathered after hours and hours of scouring this site. Thanks everyone, this hobby kicks ass!
ps... This will be my first mushroom trip, done lcd and a slew of other hallucinogenics but never shrooms. Pretty excited that my first time will be from my own homegrown batch

You first trip on shrooms? You're in for a real treat.
It will be especially gratifying knowing that you grew them yourself from nothing but little spores.

Thanks a lot dude, i need the ratings. Some douche called everyone who uses incubators tools, so i called him a retard and he gave me a zero and fucked my shit up. Kinda sucks how the ratings work especially since you need good ones for some contests on here.

You only need good trade ratings for contests. General ratings don't matter.
@nastos, yes it has been done, but he didn't follow like sheeple and just go for the shotgun. Yes I recommend it to everyone, but if you can do it differently and get results like THAT, then I respect it. Still deserves a five for the other reasons mentioned.

good to know, thanks again. By the end of the week my WBS pints will be ready, which is sweet. I think I'll put up some picks of how I'm going to transfer it to the bag, I don't believe its been done. Basically the homemade mycobag tek without the innoc hole and a mason jar lid in place of the pvc piece. I think it will be cool to be able to screw it right into the bag and then reseal it. That way I can do a shit ton of bulk with little risk of contam and have fast colonizing speeds, instead of going from spore to bag.

Yeah I'm really pumped. The one thing I forgot to research was drying and making prints, guess I never thought I would make it this far hahaha. I think I have it down now, but I do have a question. When I make the print will it be the same as a multispore syringe? Like will I get all different looking mushrooms like if I bought a syringe off the internet? Also what is the best way of cloning the best mushroom? Do i just pull of a small piece of the stem and stick it in a LC, or do i break it up in water suck it up with a syringe and inject it?

The spores I used for this grow where B+, I got them from thehawkseye. I would definitely recommend/buy from them. This is my first grow and from inoculation to first mushroom it took about 30 some days. I think it would have been a bit faster but I packed my jars real tight. I used the five jar recipe and it only filled 3 haha. It took a bit longer but I'm sure packing more substrate into the jar means more nutrients for the mushrooms to grow off of. Who knows, maybe my newb mistake turned into a blessing.

I feel like posting new pics every fucking hour, I'm so excited! I keep thinking the veil is going to break, but the bigger and bigger they get! I'm sure by this evening they will start opening, so stay tuned for more pics.

So the veils are all starting to tear. My question is, after I pick the mushrooms (which I plan on doing after they start dropping spores so i can get some prints.) Would that be considered the first flush? If you look at the pictures you can see a ton of small pins that don't look like there doing to much. Should I dunk it after I pick the group that is about done in the photo?

First flush is over and done. One cake is through its second and onto its third. The other 5 are going strong and should be ready by tomorrow or Saturday. So far off of the first 6 cakes plus the second flush of one i have harvested around 33-37 grams dry. I am averaging around 50-60 grams wet off of each cake. What is average? I heard 4-7 grams total from a cake, for some reason this seems low being that I'm a noob and at the rate I'm going I will pass that in no time. Here is a pic

oh yeah, good job man, if you could pull this off, i suggest you immediately move on to grain spawned to bulk, it'll give you something else to learn and you'll get more in return for your time and energy, have fun dude and good luck. hey by the way i strongly suggest you try popcorn despite its bad rep. i havent heard of one person that lost to contams aside the fact that they didnt sterilize. im telling you try that before you step up to rye. and guess what, most people will go against what ive just told you to use as grain but hey.
to each his own.

For my first grain I used WBS, and it worked really well. 5 of the 6 jars colonized with no problems, the other didn't colonize at all... Which I guess is better then a contam. Check out my grain jar to homemade mycobag tek in my sig. I just updated it with some some pics its working really well I'm very excited. Plus I have a small tray going that is almost ready to fruit, so everything is good in the hood hahaha.

good then , i hated wbs had bad luck, when i get fucked once i say fuck it. i had great success with popcorn, aside the fact that you get less spawn points, i dont see why more people dont use it, cause less surface area means faster colonization, anyway not everything works for everyone, i prefer the corn
