First timer, possible aborts. Any help much appreciated
    #21103717 - 01/11/15 07:54 PM (9 years, 4 months ago)

I am a first time grower, I got the spores online & am using a standard cloning terrarium as my fruit chamber. I flush the CO2 build up out 4 times a day, by lifting the inner tray out & flushing with water. Then replace the inner tray in terrarium?  I will be setting up a proper terrarium with drilled holes etc. But this is it for this grow. My first flush was great, all six cakes fruited great. Got 800Grams fresh mexicana, dried to approx 110G.

I re dunked for 24 hours now its 6 days into the second flush & the caps don't seem to be growing properly?

RAther than looking quite flat, with a sheath under the cap (which is normal) they now look like little tennis balls with no sheath under the cap. The cap is a bit darker in color than a normal cap with sheath?

Are they still viable? Will there be any difference in potency in the end? 

Any help much appreciated?

I'm a little confused by your fruiting chamber, but if it's working it's working.  I don't think you need to flush CO2 with water, though.  A few fans with a lid or a frisbee or something is sufficient.

There are a few reasons you can have dark caps:

1.  Genetics
2.  Aborts
3.  Very large pins just after the primordia stage will often have dark caps, which will lighten as the mushroom grows and the melanocytes in the mushroom spread farther apart, decreasing melanin concentration in the fruits. 

I hope you've got the third case.  Pics would help, thouhg.
