Nice job on your first grow!

Some tips and hints:

First off have you considered turning that tote into a Shot Gun Fruiting
Chamber(SGFC)? It might be something to look into for the next grow.

ALSO you should never place fresh mushrooms into a plastic bag as they
will soon begin to rot. Always dry your mushrooms first, and make sure
they are cracker dry before placing into a plastic baggie or glass
jar for storage.

Hey Evil, yeah thanks for the tips... that FC is a shotgun the holes just arent very visable in this picture....

and my friend only put them into the plastic bag fresh because him and 3 other buddies ate them about 30 mins after they where picked :smile: but he did dry a couple which are craccked dry now, =)

He just spawned another casing in the FC with that casing consisting of verm on bottom then fully colonized PF cake, then about an inch of cow manure on top.... just wanted to see if it had a bigger yeild with the manure (first casing is just PF cake on bottom with spaghnum moss chucked straight on top, no steralization or pasterization) =)

Also brother, CASING means a mix consisting of non-nutritious
materials(Verm/peat) that is layered over a colonized substrate to
provide an increased RH on the surface of the substrate, as well as
to act as a moisture reservoir.

Because you did not pasteurize your manure it is very like that it
will contaminate. Search the forums on properly pasteurizing manure
for more information.

Experimenting can be fun, but try to stick within the guide lines of
proper sterile technique and pasteurization and things will go very
smooth.

How was the trip?(I said something in case you did not realize and
left them for an extended period of time in a sealed bag. You would
have come back to a black/blue sludge.)

If you've got hydroton, you can get perlite...do it. Also, I don't see enough holes. Evil is right on on the properly constructed SGFC.

You should at least pasteurization your casing layer. I hope you pasteurized your manure before spawning to it or you're probably going to be in the :failboat:

Manure contains more nutrients than Just coir, but BRF is the most nutritious thing you're going to find. Per weight of a cake vs mono, cakes will out perform monos by far.

Another large thing you're forgetting is that you're (assumedly) using MS. That's a crap shoot. Grab your largest quickest growing pin & clone it as soon as it happens/you notice it & hope it's active. That'll give you larger flushes & (hopefully) more potent fruits.

Hey thanks for all the advice :smile:

yes he didnt pasterize or sterelize the manure, but i mixed in some Spaghnum moss about 50:50 moss/manure for the casing.... i read somewhere that the living organisim's in the moss prevent contamination.... the casing has been colonizing for about 4 days and no signs of contam (He fruited it today tho so hopefully no contam >.<)
BTW whats MS, (noob question) :frown:

MS = Multispore.

When you inoculate a substrate with a spore syringe it is know as a
multi spore inoculation. This is because thousands of spores will
germinate and eventually mate with each other to form thousands of
different strains of Ps. cubensis that will have different characteristics,
potency, and fruiting times. This leads to a very wide range of results/
genetics that can at times be very inconsistent.

Here is some recommended reading:

He also had another small SGFC with 2 cakes in it that produced not many but large as fuck fruits, these are what he took spore prints from :smile:
