Congrats Matteo! Here's to more than an 1/8 flush! I'll be monitoring this more. Unfortunately in my grow I had several jars contam. I'm not sure which vector yet, as it could of been any, but I've got a detailed plan for my next attempt. Unfortunately that was the last of my Albino's and all I have is Chitwan. Enjoy your dicks though Matteo.

I appreciate the love pinky!! i couldnt believe it, at first i was like, great, what contams could this be? but to my surprise, lil babies!! Ive noticed through my readings and the experiences of growers here that PE varieties can be unpredictable, im sorry to hear that. This was the last couple ml's of PE that i had so i was hoping for alls glory as well. What do u think could have contributed to the contams? how was the grain prep?
Here is as of today, they look like thye doubled in size..so who knows, hopefully there are more pins/blobs under the casing that are just taking there time.

The only concern I really see is the closeness of that back wall. Maybe a pro has an opinion about that.
Right now while it's colonizing it doesn't matter. He will obviously have to move it for fruiting, he can't even fit poly in the side holes with where it's at now.
Does throwing off an exact 12/12 cycle actually have an affect or does getting 12 hours a day enough? What affect does it have if any?

Giving it a random 12 hours isn't really the same at all as having a solid 12/12 cycle, but this is also someone elses thread so I'm not going to discuss that here.

Please, by all means share any info that you wish that is asked, whether its OP (me) or anyone else. I do not mind it, and by no means do i feel it is a thread highjacking. I have gained alot of valuable information just from the discussions that occur within the thread.

The show has started, but ill wait a bit before partying, as these are the only pins/blobs that i have seen inside the tub. Tomorrow will tell as i have them on off lights right now. If i see some new clusters, then im celebrating! But im still jumping for joy seeing tiny shroomies . GROW BABY GROW!

12/12 is best for establishing a healthy circadian rhythm.
Good luck OP

Yeah I know several things that I didn't take care enough with. I had busted grains and a new environment that I didn't prep enough. But i'm not worried for the next batch.

Just an update to show that it all hasnt gone bad haha.. these are my largest fruits. Is the best time to pick PE when u see the white bumps forming near the neck of the fruit? I ask cause it looks like the caps are opening up, but with PE i feel that this is not the proper indicator. Aside from that i have numerous pins, and i say pins and not blobs because i am experiencing zero blobs and i believe it has to do with the casing layer, which i am really glad i did.

Hey everyone,
My biggest fruits have been bumping up, im going to wait until tomorrow to see if they grow a bit more to harvest; should i wait till the cap opens up (loooks like Raidens hat from Mortal Kombat? hehe) or until the bumps under the cap get more noticeable? im going to give it a bit before i havest and move it outside, because im stsrting to push the limits of this tub. Ive stopped trich in its path twice, and im pretty sure its getting angry( mind that they were very small, 1mm or smaller). Overall im really happy how it all turned out, definately more than an 1/8th HAHAHA!! thankyou everyone for all the help tips and concerns. Ill follow up with any total dry weight if anyone is interested, and expect me back soon, and i promise no more popcorn for a while, and i will not waste anymore time without a PC, cheers shroomers!!
Edit: After looking at some users PE tubs, the caps opening up look like the best indicator so i will wait till then

They happen sometimes
PE has a lot of different phenotypes that are considered normal, blobs, upsidedown, sporeless, are all normal and to be expected. This isolate fruited upside down or did a nosedive everytime.

Is that so? I've never actually read that before now, but it makes sense. I've had some weird looking batches, and thought I may of done something wrong, even though they seemed extremely successful to me.

I was hoping for some silly fatties like yours pasty, thats awesome how you just grew pe straight from the jar. no case?, straight to fruit? For my next grow, im really interested in following your mwthods for that one tub you cased with sterilized coir, that tub came out fantastic, and the sterilized coir really interested me. And was it just me but did those fruits look almost lighter in color? like the stems appeared eggshell white instead of the light wood most cubes seem to have, ad well as the caps just looked appealing... was it ms or an isolate? Did you ever get a contam in those tubs?
Right shroomiedoo?! although its most likely the pheno- , idk if maybe my light setup was a factor since its not tru 6500k. Im very impressed with the casing layers effect on the fruits, it really helped them get settled and grow very evenly. Im looking forward to harvesting the cluster on the top left

The bottle sub is a mix of grains and bulk materials mixed together and sterilized. Then inoculated with LC or LI. Mudafuka has a writeup on it. That one was cased with verm.
The other tub was ms, and was a leucistic grow meaning the fruits have very little pigment. Look into the variety AA+. I flushed that one three times I believe. Coir is a very forgiving material to be sure.

I would say that's all in the genes, lighting has a substantial effect but it wouldn't shape the fruit that much! I have no experience with PE myself, either way they look like very nice mushies. Congrats again and enjoy your fruits!
