fruiting---whats going wrong
    #17295475 - 11/28/12 05:48 AM (12 years, 1 month ago)

Hi people,i have been growing mexicans for a couple of years now,sometimes successfully(10%)mostly unsuccessfully though.I have no problem with inoculation and sterilization,i have no problem creating full colonization.Here is the problem---when i take out the fully colonized mycel cakes out of the jars,the cakes will only produce 2--5 single mini mushies---maybe 2-3 millimeters high and then the cake just stops producing!Either that or the cake just does not produce atall!Can anyone maybe tell me where im going wrong?Many thanks dog.

Then your fruiting conditions are wrong. Are you using a properly built SGFC?

Watch the first 4 videos. The problem is you're not getting any FAE.

Fresh air exchange. Mushrooms need to breathe just like you and me. A closed aquarium isn't getting air.

ok;It would seem that i havent been leaving enough time between taking out the cakes from jars to birthing----the guy says one week,i just do it straight out of jar immediatly into the birthing chamber.Also i have not been dunking my cakes into water,also i have not been rolling them in the vermiculite after dunking.So these three steps i will take and see what transpires----would you agree that these three steps are of utmost importance?-D

By the way---it is said that after full colonization i should wait for 1week before birthing.Does that mean waiting 1week in the jars,or should i wait 1week after removing the cakes from the jars?

Wait until your jars are 100% colonized, and then wait another week.
Birth them, dunk for 24 hours, and then roll in verm.
Put them in your properly constructed SGFC on pieces of foil just big enough to keep any part of the cake from touching the perlite.
Mist and fan 4-6 times a day.
Enjoy.

There's a separate forum for discussing tripping experiences.  This forum is for discussing growing only.

This is a public forum, if they were to get a subpoena, then yes they would. So don't post anything that would condemn you.

Also, don't think that saying "SWIM", "AFOIF", or "my dog" is doing the growing will avoid legal liability.  It will just make you look like a sketchy underage douchebag and make people not want to help you.

i believe he was just giving you a heads up, trying to be nice. that is not a correct way to respond to helpful insights.

question though, when you say growing mexicans, are you referring to psilocybe mexicana or psilocybe cubensis mexican
