Well, I'm proud to say that I finally made it into the Shoomery Grow Logs! I started my adventure on July 18 after receiving KS "T3" and GC syringes from TLG. "4" 1/2 pint PF jars(1cc spore solution per jar) were started just to get the hang of what goes on from start to finish. 2 jars of each strain were planed but I mucked up and did 3 KS and only 1 GC. 2 of the 4 cakes(1GC & 1KS) were 100% colonized in like 15 days incubating at 82*-84*. and were birthed on August 1st into a 5 1/2 gallon aquarium lined with wet perlite. The other 2 cakes(KS) were done about 3 days later and I decided to try a small casing with strait verm using both cakes. About 4 days after birthing the cakes, Hyphal knots were forming on both cakes, but really fat on the KS. 2 days later the GC caught up! Pins were noticed on Aug. 8th on the KS and a day later on the GC cake. My first 4 jars ever,about 9 days after inoculation. First cake ever birthed, Aug. 1st KS on the right & GC on the left, pins forming. Aug. 9th Start of first flush, cakes. Aug 11th. Start of first flush from 2 cake casing. Aug. 14th. First harvest, 2 cakes, 8g's dry. Aug. 15th. First flush, casing. Aug. 16th. First harvest, 2 cake casing. 5g's dry. Aug. 17th. Got 6 more dry g's from first flush "not in pic". I was astounded at the results of my first adventure and found it both very exciting and educational too! Now that part is over, I am starting to reap the second flushes. I dunked those babies, rolled in moist verm and re-applied the double end casing. Fatter shrooms this flush it seems! Second flush as of today, Aug. 24th. Well, I'm to the point where I can't go any further because this is where I'm at! I hope you like it so far! I'll update every few days if anyone cares to check it out. Later "update" Pic of 2nd flush from above casing, minus 6 nice caps for prints and four shrooms picked early. Not sure of weight yet. I'll post when their dry. "update" I got only 9g's dry from casing and cakes together. Not to bad. The casing is showing lots of hyphal knots again, and some pins. With that said, I think this pretty much concludes my first grow. I have all ready started my second attempt in which I plan to keep track of here in "Grow Logs & Pic's". "update" I mentioned alot of hyphal knots on my casing in my last update. Well, I think this might be the biggest pin set yet! Theres about 40-50 pins and more forming. Lookin good! "update" Just wanted to throw in this pic of the 3rd flush from the casing above. To date, I have yielded 25 grams dry from 4, 1/2 pint cakes. Not bad I'd say!! "update" For the third flush of the cakes, I decided to try a tek I read about using a straw as a reservoir. I think it helped alot! The first few times they were filled up, they drained rather quickly. Then it slowed and now its draining alot slower. I think they were thirsty! These three cubies are some of the 3rd flush from the Gulf Coast half pint above. There are few more little ones left to pick yet! Follow me and my second grow here: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat...;o=&fpart=1

Thanks people!!! I can't describe how important the info you share is to helping people get started, and more! I'm sure alot of you know what I'm saying! When I first started I thought that it would be harder than it really was. It would have been if it wasn't for you guys & gals! I tend to help and continue the cycle of teaching the next generation of first timers. Thanks to you all!

great job. you wanna here something funny. my first grow was a myco bag amazon strain. i didn't know about the shroomery and only used the net about once a month. so i kept an entire room at 86 degrees for two months. constantly going in there and adjusting the heater looking at it about three times a day thats a lie about 9 times a day. so anxious because i failed growing a kit from homestead books. pretty damn stupid huh:)
