First grow ever (noobie) PICS*
    #18441256 - 06/19/13 07:57 AM (11 years, 6 months ago)

Well I'm posting some pics of my first grow EVER just wanted some advice if I'm doing everything right.

.. So it's been a week since I birthed and here's my cakes progress.

The new FC I built because my first was a total fail.





They didn't start pinning til the 4th day






& they started growing on the weekend









& here's today










& today I think one has had their veil broken.. Sorry it was hard taking an under picture.






Now what is the best way for harvesting with out taking them all out at the same time?? There are still some growing.. Really would appreciate some help :smile:

Hey your cake is looking great:thumbup: What's the strain?
I'm also a noob so I also wonder if we have to remove them all at once or we can only remove the mature ones.

However to remove the mushrooms I suggest you putting gloves and gently twist the basment of the mush and make sure to remove all.

Happy growing:tongue:

Yes you can just remove the mature ones and wait on the rest.

Thank you! I think my friend said the strain was Puerto Rican when he gave me the spores.

And the veil has broken!!




This one is the only one that has broken. Where should I place it to dry or how? & I go in to work today in the afternoon and come back around midnight. Should I wait to harvest it then or do you think all the spores would have fallen out and make everything black ? :/

Well if you want to pick it now go ahead, maybe lay it somewhere dry and dark for now. But a dehydrator comes in so handy! So it's kinda up to you really. It also looks a little dry in ur chamber.

For the drying informations you can go here http://www.shroomery.org/11337/Drying-and-Storage

But for the spores I really don't :confused:

Yeah I think I was over misting because some of the pins started bruising, so I just haven't misted as much since last night but I live in south fl so it's pretty humid all the time over here. & I read on a site it's bad too mist PR when they start growing even though it rains everyday there. (I'm puertorican)

But if I harvest that one shroom I don't really have anything. I don't even think I have a fan!! Fuck. Unless I place it next to my ac unit. (It's a small unit that has a fan and ac. It could be used on either setting.) would that work? Actually I just found a normal like Walmart fan, which one should I use?? :confused:

Use the regular fan. And you should be misting frequently, needs to be some moisture inside the chamber. Once you see no more moisture it's time to mist again.

Those look good, congrats :super: When it comes to drying I recommend a dehydrator. They are not expensive, and the last thing you want right now is to see your hard work ruined because you didn't want to cough up $50. I tried the whole fan dry and desiccate and in the end went out and got a cheap dehydrator for $45. Totally worth it, especially if you decide to go a little bigger down the road. I would hate to have to fuck around with fans and damprid when I got 3000 wet grams to be dried.

If you don't have a dehydrator you can just set it in front of the ac on fan mode while you're at work.

And yeah you continue to mist even when they're growing.

Well like I said I was over misting. I've misted  twice today already but like 3 sprays per mist. And the walls I read shouldn't be over condensated since that means there's not enough FAE.

You are completely right pastywhyte I'm going to target now and buying a dehydrator. Do you have any advice on how many watts or any specifics on a good\decent dehydrator ?


& thank you! The ac won't do any harm to it right? And where should I place it on top of to get dried?

I would look for one that has at least 5 trays and with a temp that goes up to 165f. That will ensure quicker drying which will prevent potency loss.

Thanks!!!! I found one with 5 trays but only goes up to 133 F. It was the only one on stock at 2 targets that I went too (I wouldn't have made it to work if I went to Walmart). Good thing I bought it too ! I got home after roughly 2 hours and instead of having only 1 veil broken I had 4 !!! :grin:

The 133 F won't be too bad right? And how does the potency leave the shroom??

133f should be fine, just might take a little longer. The reason you want it to be high is because the longer it takes to dry the more oxidization occurs (potency loss). But 133F is enough to get the job done.

You will be happy you got this, way better than trying to fan dry for 3 days and messing with desiccate :thumbup:
