First time growing, B+

First time growing B+ shrooms in a pre-mixed growkit from the Netherlands. Don't know what's in the mix other than B+ spores. Started on the 5th. Just added water. Let soak for 17 hours. Drained water real good then put in plastic bag with paper clips to seal it. Started pinning three days ago.

Thanks. And before anybody goes on a rant about growkits I'll give you one. Just read some other threads so I know how you feel about growkits. Well I've wasted much more money on other drugs. Just about anything I could get my hands on. I'm now clean from opiates and alcohol for a month and a half. Even quit weed almost 40 days ago so I should be cleaned out from that. Had to burn a bridge with my weed dealer cause his stuff wasn't that great and what really was the final straw was selling me a beat eighth of shrooms for $45. I've been tripping balls about once a week since the middle of December on magic truffles which I got from the same place as the kit. Well basically what I'm sayin' is my life has been changing for the better with the truffles and now with the shrooms and it will only inspire me to learn how to grow from scratch. Maybe some people need to start somewhere just to see it's possible. Shouldn't knock it just cause you're an expert with experience.

Most people don't like growkits because they are illegal to buy in alot of places..So if you order one you are risking your freedom. They are rip offs, and alot of the places that sell them are bogus.....That is why they have a bad rap.....Yes though, I can see how they are a starting point but you don't learn much getting them

Yes. That was the instructions. I would mention where I got the kit and you could see the instructions for yourself, but I don't want to shill for the place. Don't know if mentioning places like that are allowed here.

i ordered a grow kit before i started growing myself too. it took them 4 1/2 months (!!!) to ship it (NL->GER) and the results were fairly disappointing. but the shrooms told me that growing on my own is the real and only way to salvation. hence i'm here. end.

Yes, that would be a good idea. I was wondering if I could just use the kit over and over by just adding spores back to it after I get as many flushes as I can get with it now? Or is it used up after that? Is it good to go as long as there is no contamination? This kit took about five weeks to get to me. I've been getting the truffles in 7-10 days but the box for them is smaller. I guess the kit sat in customs longer.

I am growing from a kit that I bought off ebay. It is the PF tek method. I kinda ordered it cuz I wasn't sure what components i needed and was kinda lazy to research the net about the proper setup and go to home depot, and other stores for the components.
Now I am preparing a grow with my own setup, still PF tek, but on a larger scale. I've had more time to shop around for the neccessary components, and the grow kit gave me an idea of what I needed (again u could search the net).

After the kit flushes 2-3 times it will no longer be good as the mycellium has worked through the entire substrate. You should really try the PF tek method as described by RR as it is simple, effective, and relatively cheap. Check them out here.

Didn't know what PF tek meant. After a quick search now I know. Back in the eighties I ordered a shroom growing kit that had instructions involving a pressure cooker and building a wood and glass enclosure to mix everything under the glass. Seemed too involved so I threw it away. Seems like you still need all the sterilization crap that you needed back then. That's really what turned me off from it.

You will probably get 2 or 3 flushes off of it, maybe just one...and then throw it out.....Mushrooms need air exchange too. Lack of fresh air results in long stems and the tiny caps are because of improper lighting

Nah, the PF tek is incredibly simple and does not require a pressure cooker; just a large pot in which you can steam your jars. As long as you live in a relatively clean house and can follow directions you should be able to pull off a simple PF tek grow.

Wow, $49 for those two dvd's. They could at least be in HD. I found it on The Pirate Bay anyway. So they should be getting more air and light? But not direct sunlight, right?

The bottom couple paragraphs describe the proper lighting

Since your sub is in a bag, Im not sure I would take it out....But this article also provides other useful info on growing chambers....Maybe you can cut a few tiny slits in it with a knife just so that some air can get in and out but it will also maintain the humidity

no, mushrooms never want direct sunlight. INdirect sunlight is perfect. or any light on in the house will be fine. your long stems have nothing to do with the lights, its the lack of fresh air exchange what does it. because too much CO2, not enough O2.
thats why your pinset didnt turn out as well as it could have either. I can tell you're just scared to give the PF tek a try just because of pressure cooker(youre over analyzing it, and thinking its going to be harder than it is. its really easy bro, i think steaming would be more of a hassle)
Just trust us on this one. u already knew we'd dog on the kits...hahaha but hey at least you got shrooms man, so that is great. keep the pics coming.

I think my first pic threw you off. The substrate is in a small plastic tub which is inside the bag. So I could take the whole tub out but I thought being in the bag was good for humidity.

is that weird color blue or green?....When there is a lack of fresh air exchange it will favor contaminations.....Humidity is important, what creates the humidity you want is the evaporation of moisture

Looks like you might have a contam and I can see all kinds of pins wanting some air, cant tell if it is bruising or contam with that pic that I can't see closer but it looks more dark green than blue... put a pic of that on the contam forum but upload it to your profile pics first so people can enlarge it and take a closer look.

I thought the same thing when I got the kit so I sent that same pic to the place i got it from. They said it's fine and that's just psilocybin. That pic is before I even opened it. I know it might look greenish in the pic but it was and is definitely blue. Also I read in a post on here when somebody was giving a reason they don't like the kits, they said these kits already have trace amounts of psilocybin in them when they're coming through the mail. Not really an issue for me since I'm having fully grown truffles sent too. And the mold growing on the top of the substrate is completely white like it should be. Ok I took the tub out of the bag to take some pics so you can see a lot better what's going on. I know with the bag it was hard to see anything. There is some discoloration on one or two of the stems I'm not sure about. I'll circle what concerns me. Having a pain resizing the pics to fit on here.

mycelium isn't mold but I know what you mean.....Lots of studying for you to do because you can't just leave it out or it will dry up quick.....Thats why its prefered to start from scratch because you learn as you go....And the SGFC pretty much takes care of the fresh air and humidity requirements..

You should've started with spores on cakes or grains if you got a pressure cooker. A SGFC is a "shotgun fruiting chamber" and its basically just a plastic container with holes in all 6 sides and 5" of perlite in the bottom for fresh air and humidity.
Im currently dunking 2 of my 5 cakes for 24 hours right now and tomorrow at 3pm i will roll in dry pasteurized verm and put in the SGFC and hope for the best.
Make sure you take spore prints if you have a sterile enough environment. You can multiply just 1 mushroom into tons of mushrooms if you know how to do it right.

Yeah but the problem with the SGFCs are finding the right ammo and the correct distance to shoot them and get 1/4 inch holes on all six sides two inches apart. I prefer a small caliber shotgun like the 410 or a 20 gauge and using rabbit shot is about as close as you are going to get to 1/4 inch hole, the problem is getting the correct distance to shoot at it from.

Picked the few big ones that were open and will wait a few more days for the others to open. I'm eating truffles on Friday so don't think they'll be dry by then.

nice, big difference with some air ventilation?

Yes, they did seem to get bigger after cutting slits in the bag. Not like I had anything to compare them to though.

yeah, I noticed at first your mushrooms were skinny, tall, small heads.....then after some adjustments they were fat and with big heads

Should they now all be picked at once or as the caps open?

You can pic them when the veil breaks away from stem, if you wait for them to open too much they will spray spores all over the place. Or you can pick them all to prepare for next flush.

Got 11 grams total of dry shrooms from first flush. I ate 3 grams Friday from the first few big ones I picked. Before I ate them I decided to pick the rest and go for a second flush. The rest finished drying today and came to 8 grams. The trip wasn't incredibly strong. I think I really needed more to trip hard. Yesterday I ate 35 grams of wet truffles and tripped my ass off though. Felt kind of like it was a continuation of the mild trip the day before but much stronger.

Second flush just about ready to pick. Much nicer caps this time. They got much better light but not direct sunlight of course.

sunlight going through your window and then through the bag is not so direct.

Well they're off to the side of a window that has blinds that are always closed. I just thought it was bad to give them direct sunlight. Here's the link to the place I got the kit from and their instructions. Don't know if it's ok to post vendors like this so if it's not then I apologize and a mod can edit the link out.

Ok, I see what you mean now. It's not like the sun is beaming directly down on them even if they were in front of a window.

Nice! Congratulations! I have no idea what strain that is though. And I'm sure these weights are nothing compared to what some people must get here. Picked a few big ones with open caps from this second flush. Gonna give the rest a few more days.
"You don't know the power of the dark side. May the spores be with you!"

"Here's Freddy!"

Also I've been wondering something. Can psilocybin/psilocin get in your system just by touching the fresh shrooms? When I picked the first flush I felt kind of funny for days. Just a little bit. So I'm wondering if it can absorb through the skin like LSD can?

When I harvested my first flush I felt kind of funny for a few hours and I was seeing some slight visuals. I don't know if some soaked in my skin or if I was just happy that I actually grew something. I don't think that it could last for days but I would like to know weather it is possible too. Try posting this question on the psychedelic experience forum, or search for it in the search bar at the bottom of that forum. It has most likely been answered before.

I searched on google for "can psilocybin be absorbed through skin" and don't you know the first search result was this site. And from checking out some other results the answer seems to be a definite yes.

They just look a little funny compared to mine which are also B+. The stems look more tannish. Also more shriveled and curled. Not saying they're bad but just the pic threw me off. Also our first flush was closer in weight than you thought. I just rounded the weight to 11 grams. The first 3 grams I ate was actually 3.2, and as you can see in the other pic above, that came to 8.3 for a total of 11.5 grams. Only off by 3 tenths of a gram. That's crazy.

I screwed up the substrate by stirring it after the second flush. That's why I never posted about a third flush. I moved the substrate to a new container and now the third flush is betting big. I'm wondering why all the caps are turning a really dark brown, almost black color? Do they look contaminated? I forgot containers and jars need to be sterilized and this container came right out of the kitchen cabinet. Also the mycelium is growing up the stems. If they're not contaminated is it safe to eat stems with mycelium growing on them?

yup thats a sign of low fae and high humidity. its all good just means you need to fan moar to prevent that.
im not sure why your pins aborted but its probibly due to your conditions or being rough with them somehow. sometimes over misting them can cause that. but im not really too sure.
all i know is that they are perfectly edible. wait for someone with more exp tho to tell you how to tweak your conditions to prevent that sorta thing in the future

They've only started to do that on the third flush which is after I stirred the substrate. You can see the first and second flush in the rest of the pics I posted in this thread and they look beautiful. It's the same block of substrate in all the pics.

Its just a new environment, there are less nutrients in the substrate after two flushes, who knows what exactly caused it, but these are certainly some contributing factors. I'm sure you still have some left from the first flushes anyway right

Lots of pins for this fourth flush. Looks like it will be the nicest one yet if they don't abort. Seems like there's already one abort though to the right.
