Those cakes look white as hell, lol.

Most likely just over exposure, but you mixed water and verm, and added brown rice correct?

Hey, make sure you let your jars cool for long enough before you inoculate. Good luck!

All the research from this site should pay off greatly! I will update with pics once they get a little more growth. :crazy2: :mushroom2: :thumbup:

Some updates. First off IDK how you guys take such damn good photos, I applaud some of the photos i see here, best i could do with phone. Second, seems to be some condensation in jars, that ok? I dont see any contams, been about 8 Days since inoculation.

you really shouldn't turn them on their side like in that last pic. I disturbs the dry vermiculite contam barrier.

It'll prolly be ok, but it's recommended you don't disturb them while colonizing.

You are a little ahead of me. Did you remove the foil and tape for gas exchange or are your holes in the lids still covered?

LoL, The people who take really good photos, don't use phones. I suck at photography, but My wife is amazing at it. Sometimes it is better to outsource jobs.

Like this one. It's my favorite picture.

I had foil and tape when I Steam Sterilized them, then i took off foil after they cooled and then with the tape still on I inoculated them, so there is holes in the tape from the needle.

You did an outstanding job!  I'm preparing for my first grow so I'm learning what I can before I take the plunge.  Very good job, I hope I do half as good when I try for the first time.

Make sure you let them consolidate for 1 week after they acheive 100%., but before you birth them. They need some extra.time to digest all the nutes thet just absorbed. They will do this even if you take them out, but its best tk leave them in the jar so they dont lose moisture.

So it only took 2 weeks to get to 100%?  That is pretty fast.  I am 6 days in and I don't have anywhere near as much as you had at 8.

They look good to my newbie eyes.  I am at day 15 and one variety is 75-90% right now so I am hoping that I will hit 100% by Friday or Saturday.  My other variety is at best 50% probably less in all jars.  I think I might have gotten a poor set of spores.  I got a Halloween grab bag so it would make sense that some of my syringes would be a bit messed up or not exactly ideal.  That said I am 100% contam free and looking perfect otherwise.

Look forward to your results.

So is WBS generally the absolutely cheapest nutrient source?  Is that why it seems to be so popular?  I mean that is a ridiculously low price...  Most everything else I am looking at least $1-2 a pound.

Yes, it is cheapest and that is a major selling point, but it is also very convenient to be able to buy it at any old grociery store instead of going online, also it is fairly easy to prep, and it has differing grain sizes which means it colonized quickly and has plenty of inoculation points. Most of the reason I use it is that I can buy it at just about any store.

Thanks for the link, the Depot isnt too far from my home. that would be awesome if the cherry flavor made the shrooms taste better. I think they taste like rotten sunflower seeds and poop

How long does it usually take to have your humidity get up to 90% + ? been in the chamber around 2 hours. i can see condensation on sgfc and my gage reads around 50%

If its built to spec your good, watch the moisture on the surface of your cakes and mist when needed, that's your 100% humidity on the surface of your cakes where it matters and can't be measured

Misting and fanning all the time sucks, I think going bulk with a polyfill tub is the way to go. its going down ASAP

I am worried to. I birthed my cakes almost 2 weeks ago and I have zero pinning. My hhumidity and Fae are good in my sgfc. So you aren't alone.  Could just be genetics? My temp is lower than yours which can slow things down.

I know there aren't any stupid questions just stupid people, but I'm gonna make another SGFC and have been confusing myself with the hole placement. 1/4 inch holes every 2 inches. so does that mean a hole at the start (zero inches) and the a hole at 2in then 4in and so on. Or is it a hole at 0 inches then a hole at 3in so there is a 2 inch space between holes? Im confusing myself.:crazy2::confused:

1/4" holes every 2" in a grid pattern.

Make one hole 2" from the bottom of the tub, then move over 2" and make another one.

From there make a 2" grid pattern all around.
