Started my first grow [Cambodian and Mazatapec]
    #13479782 -

Hello all. New member here! Thanks to the brilliant guides and posters on here, I've started my first mushroom grow (PF Tek) with 3 jars of Cambodian and 3 jars of Mazatapec. I ordered them from a website called The Spore Depot. I'm not sure if they're a Shroomery sponsor or not.

The hardest part was ensuring sterility. I purchased the BRF jars pre-sterilized from eBay as I dont have a PC (yet). Admittedly, that is the expensive route to take but I figured i'd cut out one point of failure since this is my first time. Next time i'll make my own. I also made a glove box out of a Sterilite container, cleaned it out with alcohol, and went to town on the jars.

I knocked up all 6 jars 24 hours ago with approx. 1.67 ccs per jar and set them in a shoebox on top of my computer. The Core i7 processor keeps em nice and toasty (a little over 81* F) :tongue:. One jar is already showing some action! Wow..didn't expect that to happen so soon.

Not much to share yet, but I will update with pics when there's something worth showing. I've never eaten magic mushrooms before so I'm looking forward to the experience.

Welcome!
1) you aren't seeing anything in 24 hours
2) put the jars away for a week.
3) not on a toasty computer.

You make it all possible. Doesn't it feel good?

Just remember that this hobby takes time so be patient and wait for full colonization before you birth them and keep and eye out for any color besides white growing in the jars. Good luck hope your prodject turns out great for you. Have you made a Fruiting chamber yet? I like Shotgun FC myself for BRF cakes. :mushdance:

if your PC case is 81 your pushing the contam risks and depending on internal temp might be hurting more then helping. put them on your book shelve next to your php and mysql book instead.

Thanks for the comments guys/gals. I moved them away from my computer and they're showing some signs of life 4 days after innoc. Have a while to go though!




Im doing a standard Shotgun fruiting chamber and staying "by the book" as much as possible for my first grow.

Here we are at 7 days. No contams thus far. Mazatapec is spreading a lot faster while the Cambodian has a whiter color. Looks like little clouds :smile:

Actually, Cambodians are supposed to be incredibly fast colonizers, nearly on par with Brazilians.  I used them for my second grow and found them to be pretty quick.  Though honestly, for some reason, PE has been my fastest colonizer.

ebay member "simplysubstrates09". $28 including shipping for 6 1/2 pints. Pricey but I didnt have a pressure cooker at the time. They were pretty slow to ship out, but i cant complain with the results so far after 1 week.

I've got the jars at about 80-81 degrees which probably helps a bit with the speed too. In the wild these strains like heat :smile:

So the Mazatapecs are between 75-90% done. 11 days since inoculation. I'm impressed with that strain's speed. The Cambodians are noticeably slower, between 30-50%.

Here are the 6 cakes in my SGFC. I accidentally mixed them up so I dont know which are Cambo or Maza anymore, not that it really matters.

They do seem to be coming along rather slowly and very...small. The cakes on the left are at 5 days I believe. The others are between 2-3. I birthed them when I saw pins. They are getting misted daily and fresh air 3x a day or so. 4-5 inches of perlite in a small tupperware keeps the humidity at around 90% or so (digital hygro isnt too accurate)

Hope it turns out OK. Thoughts?

They were dunked for ~12 hours in cold water and rolled in dry verm.

I usually mist 1-2x a day. On top of that, after im done showering, I let the fruiting chamber absorb some of the humidity in my bathroom.

That was kind of my suspicion too. No other reason they should be this small. Ive got the humidifier on in the room and i'll mist more.

Thanks for the comments :thumbup:

How much perlite do you have in there?
In my eyes, then dont seem to dry, but go ahead and give a little mist, never hurts.
And some FAE while youre at it

~4 inches. The container is small as you can probably tell from how cramped it is in there. The chamber's been getting misted and aired out but i'll do it more often and see if it improves.

Honestly, I would just keep doing what your doing. If they are just tiny or have split caps then you know they are two dry, and can change it next time.

So far we just think it might be dry.

Misting and fanning more frequently worked! Turns out my humidity was on the low side before too, so I taped up some holes in the FC. Apparently I put in too many holes.The humidity started off fine (85-90%) but then dipped which is likely why I was getting small mushrooms and slow growth. Now it's sitting at 94% and I've been collecting mushrooms off of the cakes a couple times a day :ooo:

Well this grow turned out great. I've been picking shrooms for the past week and am getting ready for my second flush. This was my favorite cake, just because of how bundled up the mushrooms are and clean looking:




I also had a mutant that is around 4.5 grams dry. It's really stubby, but FAT :mushroom2:

Thank you! The Maz i had colonized very quickly...cambodian was rather slow. I left them in the jars a good 4 weeks in total, just to make sure they were fully colonized. I hope your cakes turn out well. if you dial in the correct humidity and temp, I dont see why you wouldnt be successful :grin:
