First ever grow - PF Tek - OP Edited with first flush
    #21270856 - 02/13/15 09:35 PM (9 years, 10 months ago)

I know for most of you this is no big deal, but today when I woke up I saw my first signs of life on 2 of my 3 cakes in my SGFC! This is my first grow and I knew I made some mistakes along the way (not having wide-mouth jars, open air inoculation, checking my jars way to often during colonization), but I am so happy that pinning has started!

Like I said, for most of you this is no biggie, but for me it gives me hope! I have already gone out and purchased the proper jars and built a still air box, so hopefully that won't be an issue next time around. Now, I just need to learn some patience...especially since I should receive some B+ and Penis Envy next week.

Also just wanted to say thanks! You guys have indirectly helped me make it this far since I have been lurking the forums for the last couple months and have learned quite a bit (although it seems that the more you learn, the more you realize you don't know anything at all).

Here are some pictures!



This is the same cake 3 days later.


Alright, I was able to harvest my first cake! It won't go down in history as the biggest yield ever, but I'm fairly happy with the results.



And now my two other cakes are finally kicking into action as well!




Also, I will be updating this thread with more pictures as the pins continue their growth. Figure some beginners might be encouraged!

Thanks man! I figured more experienced growers were used to the feeling, but I guess not. I will definitely post more once there are some changes!

Thanks a lot!

Here's another update. I might be getting carried away with my daily pictures, but I feel like I need to share it with someone other than my girlfriend (who's only mildly interested anyway).


Can anyone tell me why the caps on one of the cakes is darker than the other? They are both Golden Teacher. Is this a normal occurrence?

I can't zoom in but they might be aborts. Watch them, if they don't grow in two days they're aborts.

I measured them this morning, so we'll see if there's any growth in the 36-48hrs.

What is with the pics. Can't see much. About half of my gt caps started out dark. They turn gold slowly as they mature.
Watch them. If they stop growing they are aborts most likely. Usually the cap will be just about black or black.
