Problem with first time!
    #19329485 - 12/26/13 04:14 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

So this was my first time growing anything.  I was successfully able to colonize and grow off of 4 jars.  However they only produced several mushrooms per jar with MANY aborts.  I cant figure out exactly what I am doing wrong.  Can anyone please help!!?

Ill take some tonight.  I am however changing my entire setup to the Poor Mans.

I was using a sterlite bin, two air pumps hooked up that ran twice a day for 1 hour, perlite on the bottom that was kept wet(maybe to wet), 2 led light fixtures on the inside.  I was also using a fogger that was hooked up to the bin.

I didnt fan it other than the two air pumps hooked up.  I barely opened the bin but for 5-10 minutes a day.

RH was around 90%.  Temp was at 72 during the day and 68 at night.

how far away from your cakes are you misting?

generally aborts happen when people over mist or spray directly on their cakes.

sounds like you also have a huge lack of FAE, which mushrooms love when they're fruiting.

edit: drill some holes in that tub and make it a SGFC... all the other parts are unnecessary. Lights should be outside too!

best luck :peace:

ditch it all just put 1/4 inch holes spaced 2 inches apat in a grid pattern on all six sides, a few inches of perlite and elevate it off the ground using jars so air can come up underneathe, al that stuff is doing is fucking your shit up and making you work to hard and a shotgun fruiting chamber is as automated as anything needs to be for cakes

I never misted...  Must have had to much humidity?

And wow yea I had zero FAE....

So I the Poor Mans isnt even worth it?  Would be good not to spend any more money if I can do it with what I have.

Should I have the air pumps running all day?

Ditch the pumps. Ditch the fogger.

Search SGFC or watch RR & Roadkill's segment on how to make one @ mushroomvideos.com

You will have to mist a few times a day but it will be much much better :thumbup:

No need to spend more money!!
