Mushroom Porn with Questions About Fruit Size? *PICS*
    #16843650 - 09/13/12 09:34 PM (12 years, 4 months ago)

These are more picture from my very first grow that involved 3 lasagna pans, and 6 small Glad Tupperware sandwich containers. I showed the sandwhich containers the other day, here are two of the lasagna pans, one got throw away cause of bad trich. These two have a little also, which is why im picking one a little early, the other one in a day or two. Doubt ill do second flush on either, not worth it. But im not here about my contam issues, im getting those under control.

My main question is why am i getting small fruits, even in containers with no contam issues? I thought the strains Brazil and Mexican give decent size fruits? My other one Texas I know has small fruits, but im getting some that are opening and dropping their veil before they even get to the size of a thing of chapstick, as you can see in the photos. The stems are decent, and the caps are correct for their size, but they dont grow tall, or real fat.

Is it just bad genetics in that specific run of those strains? Or is it because my pans are only 1-2 inches deep? Im just trying to iron out some wrinkles before I do my Monotub and maximize fruit size and efficiency. I only put up 1 chapstick next to the mushies but they're all the same size, so you get the drift.

Any help as always appreciated. About the fruit size not the contams, I'll tweak things and cut out the contam issues over time.











And what is this weird deformity? Is it nothing really, or should I be concerned? Happened on two mushrooms, the other one was bigger.

Looks to me like it's about to start growing another mushroom.

Im doing 3 mono tubs next, and keeping my fingers crossed, but im going to try putting some safeguards in place to lower my risk of contams, and keep my fingers crossed. I thought it looked like it was going to grow another mushroom out the top of it too. The other one that I didnt pick is still in there. Its bigger, ill keep my eye on it.

The short fruits got me stumped, but I agree that its probably cause the pan depth isnt what i see other people do. But i thought ive seen some lasagna pan pics posted with nice tall fruits.

Ill post pics from the mono tub project when something comes up, if i make it that far contam free.

I was thinking that exact same thing, and I probably read it where you said that on someone elses post. I think Daimons calls for 5 quarts, and I was going to use 8, maybe 9, for that exact same reason, hopefully it can fruit fast enough to outrun the contam, at least for 1 excellent top notch first flush. Do you find that you get alot MORE fruits by adding more quart jars of spawn also?

Twisted.... new to this, if using a non-isolate, the result of a ms to g2g, doesnt the increase in jars lead to an increase in contam?

edit - ^ the possibility of contamination ^^ ?

sounds like you already know the answer to that...

but just in case you dont... yes, anytime you attempt spawning there is always a chance of contams, no matter if your starting from MS or iso

I thought I already answered this in your Texas grow thread... :shrug:

Water or light are the most common reasons for small fruits. (This is assuming MS genetics haven't opted for small size.)

I know you read my troubleshooting post! Did you forget that part already? :evil2: :grin:

The increase in substrate depth will not make a difference unless you get your light and water content spot-on. Maybe check my pastuerization guide too; I go over some tips to help get the moisture right in there.

Hope this helps.

:peace:

I have a shotgun AND a sort of mono tub type thing going on, but both use Perlite for humidity. I know im having humidity issues, cause i didnt drill holes in the bottom and elevate the tubs. So thats my first change im going to make. Then Im going to get better hygrometers, and then im going to get better lighting, and also "clean up my act" so to speak and work on my sanitary practices, to cut down on contams. I know that Ryath told me its humidity and lighting issues on my Texas strain thread, I was just feeling things out and seeing if anyone else had the same issues. I'll make my changes and see how the next projects go.

And yes, even though they're shorty's, they're nice fruits overall. I just got a little disappointed to see everyone with nice tall mushies and i got these little midgets. But its trial and error, and im learning. For my VERY FIRST GROW, I think I did ok. I got a little under 2 ounces dry total, and I do have a few coming up on a second flush. But I need the bins for my next project, so they only have 7 days to give me whatever they're going to give me, and they're getting picked and tossed away.

Thanks for the help everyone!

PS- Anyone from the New England area going to the Boston Freedom Rally this Saturday the 15th? AKA The Hempfest?

Those are still some pretty nice ones for a first time grow. Good job man!

Off-topic: I'm planning on going to it with a few friends. Freedom Rally is always great every year. I take it you've got a group your going with?

Actually I dont, im going solo this year. I havent been to the rally in about 6 or 7 years. They arrest the first 100 people every year they see with weed, and my last time there, i was one of those 100 people, lol. Not a big deal, it was my first and only drug offense, it was just a $100 fine and a trip to Boston Court. But this will be my first time back since. I was going to volunteer this year, and I filled out the form, but never heard back from them. So I guess im just going to head there and hang out.
Are you taking the train in? Im in the Newburyport area, so im going to jump on a train and go right into North Station.

The last time I was there I seen this guy with a pig nose on and pig ears and he would stand behind all the undercover cops and make a squealing pig noise, it was the funniest thing i ever seen. I guess he goes every year. I want to get a picture with him this year, and all the cool people I meet.

Maybe if i see you there we can make up a quick shroomery.org sign and hold it in front of us and take a picture and upload it to the site later on?

Hell yeah, I'd be up for that. Representing the Shroomery sounds like an awesome idea to me. I'm not sure what time I'm heading in yet, but I believe in the early afternoon.

Throw me a PM and we can discuss meeting up and such! Rather not derail your thread :tongue2:

My Hawaiian Cubes from a vendor show that exact same mutation. Probably pictures in one of my threads...
