First time grow just sharing

Not sure if that linked worked but if not ill be posting update pics on my laptop as i progress through my first grow. I used b+ spores on rye grain for innocuoation then placed the patty on pastuerized straw in a fishtank with a heater and temperature/humidity gauge. To keep humidity up i spray chlorine free sterile water on the sides of the tank as needed. When the straw was fully colonized i sterilized a dirt/perlite mixture with water added let it cool and placed a light layer on top. Four days later the first white dots that later became pinheads apeared. My message to first time growers is dont be intimidated. Ill post pics as the smurf houses continue to grow peace.

I think that might have fixed it.  Nice job!

I feel like I should point out that you don't need to use chlorine-free or sterile water for misting, and that pasteurization is a better choice than sterilization for casing layers, but otherwise it looks like an excellent first go at it!

Thank you sir you saved me some time its a pain sterilizing water every day. I do have a question i noticed a tiny bluish green spot on the casing today am i wrong to think its bruising from maybe a water drop? I dont have a high enough resolution camera to really show what i looks like but any guesses?

A water drop won't cause bruising.  It could be bruising, for sure, but it would more likely be from rough handling or insufficient water.

It might be mold.  Is there any bubbly-looking bright white mycelium in that area?

If I were sure it was mold, I'd harvest all those mushrooms and toss it out.  There isn't a whole lot else you can do;  mold will win versus cubensis in an indoor grow, and you can't excise the infected part successfully since it's already sent strands of mycelium all the way through the cake.  If it's warm where you are, you could potentially get away with tossing it outside or burying it under half an inch of soil if it gets contaminated, but mushrooms don't survive frost very well.

If it looks like very slight bruising, then it almost certainly is.  Mold sporulates very quickly and becomes dark and visible in the blink of an eye.  =)

there have been study's that show dunking only works for 12 hours.. after that the cake doesn't absorb more water. but yea dehydrating for another flush is common and it works.

Ive been doing research so far what ive found is dunk n roll which im planning on changing slightly to make my own. I will dunk for 12 hrs reapply dry clean casing to outer layer mist lightly on top and put back in the fruiting chamber. Hows that sound?

I was under the understanding that you should not dunk straw for more than about 6 hours due to the possibility of it falling apart. Btw, first time grow on straw and you are successful. That's awesome. I have been growing for a couple years now, and tried my first straw grow about a month ago. After a couple weeks colonizing and a couple weeks in DC, I ended up tossing it. Before I tossed it I broke it in half and I think the water content was really low. So great job.

Before mixing any drugs I prefer to take them individually so I know what I'm getting into.

:whathesaid:
Mushrooms can kick yer ass inside out quite well on their own :crazy2: A little weed as it starts and a bit on the comedown ain't bad, but treat the mushroom with respect. Many people take the mushroom lightly their first time and end up never wanting to do them again.
