First grow, black stems?
    #19489990 - 01/29/14 06:19 AM (10 years, 11 months ago)

Hi guys,

I have been looking all over this forum for the past couple of months, looking up on how to get growing some mushrooms.

I saw a few posts saying kits are a waste of money, but I decided to buy a small one just to see how it went and get a feel for it before going ahead with a bigger grow.


I got two sterilised substrates (BFR Cake) inoculated them, sat them in a dark warm place for about 4 weeks.

Birthed them after they where fully colonized, and placed them into a tray inside a grow bag.

Placed somewhere where they got light and a good temperature between 22-24 degrees.

Pinning started about a week later. every few hours I would open the bag and fan fresh air into it, and twice a day give them a mist.

I'm at the 3 week mark now, with all kinds of fruits growing, I was pretty surprised with how many there was.

Then I noticed black marks on some of the caps, and stems, maybe slightly green too. From other posts I have seen, I believe them to be aborts? So I picked the bad looking ones off and set the rest of the good looking ones back in their bag. Also my cakes are quite fluffy, and thick?

Here are some photos, sorry for the lighting conditions.

The bluish-greenish-blackish discolouration is natural.

Your shrooms are fine and look gorgeous.

I dunked for 12 hours after birthing the cakes. But did not roll. Is that the reason for this?

Am I safe to eat the mushrooms on pictures 2, 4 and 5?


Here is a photo of them now...

They look OK.

There is some bruising and bluing, and I see pieces of vermiculite, but otherwise they look fine.

Hell yeah brother, flick that verm and chomp down! Get better performance with rolling the cake. But seems your first flush went rather well. Not to late to dunk and roll. Do it up and stay safe brother.

First time having shrooms, but I am experienced with LSD. Dry weight in total was 1.8g which I know is a small amount.

Ate them with a piece of pizza, this was at 10pm.

Started grinning about 11pm, getting that fleeing in my stomach.

12pm, I felt awesome, no mad visuals but I wasn't expecting that, I was just in a all round good mood.

Listened to some music, watched a movie, played some video games.

Was fun, but next time I will be going for a eighth I think, lets trip balls!!

OMG I wonder how some folks can deal with doses I consider a big one.

Even 1.5 grams packs quite a punch for me with detailed CEVs.

Not allowing the body to recover from the last trip. Back to back trips, tripping once a week, and so on. I tripped every week for the past month and a half (Play off season). Had to eat 8 grams last weekend to feel like a towel.
