First Mushroom Grow (Questions)
    #16183817 - 05/04/12 10:09 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

I'm planning on starting my first mushroom grow. I will be doing this in my closet of my bedroom. I plan on getting a couple of grow bags and inoculating them with penis envy and golden teacher spores. I just had a few newbie questions before starting this. I would most appreciate the tips from you veteran growers.

1. I plan on inoculating the bags with 3 cc's and sticking them in my closet that would be at a room temperature. Sometimes it gets a little hot, but in that case I just open a window. Would this be sufficient temperatures for mycelium growth? Also would the vents in the bag provide proper FAE.

2. I plan on crumbling the material after mycelium growth is roughly 30-50% Would this be a proper range or would not crumbling the material work just as well.

3. When the bags are fully colonized should I put them in a separate fruiting chamber or would the bags alone be good enough for fruiting? If there good enough I will plan on just leaving them in the closet for the duration of fruiting.

4. I just bought a lamp tonight and put a bulb in it that is a 15 watt 6500k fluorescent light bulb and will be putting it on a 12/12 light cycle so that I can initiate pinning and provide enough light throughout the fruiting process. Would this provide sufficient lighting for what is required?

5. I know that you can dunk casing jars so that you can get multiple flushes, but how would this work for grow bags. Is just misting the bag good enough or would this not allow for multiple flushes. And if not how would I do this?

After all the mushrooms are grown and harvested I plan on putting them in a food dehydrator to dry. Is there anything else or any material I should be using for this grow? Any tips and suggestions would be helpful as well as expert advice to my questions. Thank you very much for your time.

1) 72-78 is very nice for colonization, once the room gets to 80 it's too hot.

2)mixing up your spawn when it's between 25-50% speeds up colonization. So yes do it, keep the stuff inside the bag of course and only mix once.

3)IDK, I've seen some people fruit in bags and get decent results. I have not tried it though. Fruiting in an FC would be better. Spawning to bulk would be best and is recommenced.
Here is a great guide on spawning to bulk

4) Yes that bulb will be sufficient. I have a feeling some derp will tell you need more but no.

5)Put bags in sink or tub, fill them with water, and then let them soak for 12-24 hours. Keep them under the faucet with the water trickling as it will keep them from draining.

Let me know if you have any more questions.
:goodluck:
