Outdoors is fun and was one of my only real successes, I would spawn it indoors first and fruit it outdoors if your temps are suitable

So the first six cakes have been in for a week and only a few lumps that I'm not even sure are pins and the other 5 (one more birthed today and is dunking right now) have been in for 3 days so I took them (still in the chambers) all outside for 10 minutes of good strong direct sun and this should hopefully stimulate a few pins :smile: I'll update with pics as soon as I have confirmed pins :peace:

From what I've heard I should be waking up to heaps of pins  :justcantwait: But the levelheaded me is trying to contain the excitement until I see results.

:noway: :psycrankey: Fuck. Nothing except a shit ton more bruising than yesterday, I think that's a sign of low humidity? This is getting really annoying :bored:

EDIT: Okay so I'm pretty sure that the bruising is because they're dehydrated from too much sun. How much longer do you think I should wait to see pins before I just dunk them again and see how that goes?

Okay so both chambers got 10 minutes of sunlight this morning (5 minutes each side) and I'm currently sterilising some more vermiculite to roll the last cake in a little while (I blended the vermiculite this time to get a better coating because all of my other cakes are coated horribly because the vermiculite was so coarse And after I give that cake it's 2 hours of watering I'll give both chambers another 10 minutes of sun. I know I'm being impatient because it's only been 8 days but I'm really wanting these shrooms to get a move on :crankey:

:awedance: WHO GROWS SHROOMS? BUDDHA GROWS SHROOMS! :awedance: I can't even explain the happiness that was coursing through my body when I saw these chubby little fuckers.

Even though there's a lot of bruising (Due to me not misting throughout sun bathing the cakes, only before) they are well on the way to recovery and holy shit the sweet smell of mushrooms is filling the air! There are a few more pins right underneath but I thought I should handle the cakes as little as possible and just let them work their way out so I didn't take any photos.

Congrats Buddha.  It's been a long journey for you.  From struggling to figure out where to get supplies all the way to pins.  :thumbup:

Thanks man, I really appreciate all of the advice you've given me. Now that my crankey impatientness has subsided I'll post many more photos of them along the way :grin:

But I will still curse the shroomery's image uploading system, it's so damn frustrating :shakefist:

More pins popped up overnight! And there are more that have grown literally in the hour between me taking those photos and me uploading right now! I'm just so happy!  :emotionalmoment:

So who wants to see my first harvest? :awesomenod: This isn't the whole first 'flush' there is about 1.5x this left on the cakes but I've decided to harvest on a shroom by shroom basis rather than 'flushes'. FUCK THE SYSTEM :rockon: But yeah so this is around 27.75 grams :grin:

So one more thing I'm concerned about, I've read through and seen RR saying that snipping with scissors is the best way to remove shrooms because tearing a hole in the substrate can give contaminants a way in but I feel like I've just left way too much on the cake :confused:

I can't snip any closer without risking taking some of the substrate off but I'm worried about a) those bits rotting and b) them taking up room for potential pins to grow in the next 'flush'.

What do you guys think?

Use an xacto knife of scalpel to carve off those last pieces?  I know it's better to cut but for all my cakes I carefully did the twist and pull and I feel like they all turned out ok.  The only time I think it REALLY makes a big difference is when doing monotubs.  That's just me though. I'm sure there will be someone out there who says to always cut no matter what.

Yeah well I ended up just carefully twisting/pulling those bits off and I barely even took the outer layer of vermiculite off so I'll just do that from now on :smile:

Anyway, so here is the whole first flush from my first 6 cakes, fresh weight of 82.54 grams (Minus the 27.78 grams from my first trip last night which are the shrooms on the laptop :awesomenod: ) and it dried out to 11 grams on the dot, which I know is nowhere near 90% loss but these fuckers were crispy as shit like they  couldn't possibly be anymore dry, a few snapped just from me picking them up and I checked the bigger ones just to be safe :smile:

I'm only storing them for about 2 weeks or so before all of my mates are coming round for a big group trip :awecid:

I'll get started on writing up my trip report now and link to it here when it's done :grin: :jah:
