My first grow!!!! I think I'm doing okay!
    #19345265 - 12/30/13 07:04 AM (10 years, 1 month ago)

This is my very first attempt. I've been lurking here for awhile and learning what I can. I was a bit worried at first (like most first time parents) :grin:

But I think we are gonna be fine. The air here is super dry right now, I'm not sure if that played as a factor or not but they all became blue and very thirsty looking I'd also been running a fan in the same room because I need the noise to sleep. I got two skinny babies and no one else was fruiting so I was bummed. Then I re dunked and raised my SGFC up with some jar lids so the babies could get air underneath as well. No more fan, I replaced it with a white noise app. I didn't think to do that at first. Anyway after the re dunk and the SGFC adjustments, things are looking up.

Also, in the beginning I had a heater bomb in the fruiting chamber, but it quit working the first day. We have been at room temp for the entire process excluding the day one. It's been a bit slow but no contams.

All ten cakes are fruiting. Some have more than others but they all have something now!

There is still some bluing, I did the q tip test, and we are clear of nasties! Fruiting chamber smells like a forest after the rain. Nice and fresh. Now I'll mist and fan and wait for grown up Mushies!!


I'm open to any advice if there is anything I can do to improve. So far I am happy! Strains are 5 Blue Meanie and 5 Golden Teacher cakes. (10 cakes)

That test was debunked years ago.

Bruised mycellium will also rub off creating a false positive.

Did you dunk those cakes before fruiting them? I can tell you did not roll them in dry verm....you also used the wrong sized jars.

:whathesaid: You need to use wide mouth half-pint jars and learn the dunk and roll technique :pipesmoke:

I rolled all but two in dry verm.Some people roll and some say they do not, being that those two took longer to colonize they were birthed and dunked separate from the others who finished first and they were all dunked, (rolled minus the 2)for 24 hrs. The second two, that,oddly are doing the best it seems were only dunked. 24 hrs also.
