My first grow/also my first post
    #21735730 - 05/29/15 06:18 AM (8 years, 7 months ago)

Hello everyone. This is my first post so please go easy on the newb. I have been lurking on the site without being a member for about 3 years just doing research and I finally mustered the courage and information to do my own grow without hopping on here asking stupid question. As my first post I would like to thank a few people from here first. Shea25, I have read every tek you've done and without your stuff I would be slightly lost so thank you. Also RR. When in doubt I'd look at your replies to questions for guidance. Thank you for the wealth of information both of you have shared. Much appreciated. Anyways, moving on

I bought a few multi spore syringes from one of shroomery trusted vendors which I will say arrived quite quickly. I bought a syringe of Koh Samui super strain which is what I noce up my first 1/2 pint jars with. I had enough to do 1cc per jar in 11 jars

The mixture was what shea had used in his tek for brf cakes

After 4 days I seen the first signs of success! What an awesome feeling


Then 2 days after I see more growth


Another 2 days after the last picture


This is one day after last picture


Then finally they are what appears to be fully colonized the outsides of the jar. So I begin my week period of consolidation


I managed to not even look at any of the jars for 8 days when I realized this! In vitro pinning! Agh! Lol so I birthed them directly after taking this picture.


After dunking them for 24 hours I put them inside this 56L sgfc and very eagerly awaited to see the magic happen!


After the first night of them being in this chamber they had grown. I was amazed. You might notice there are only 9 cakes and that is because I thought two of the cakes looked kinda fuzzy so I chucked them after looking at cobweb mold I am sure that it wasn't contammed but for my first grow I wanted to be safer then sorryier.




After just under 3 days the two cakes doing really good looked like this



And another 2 days went by and I had waited a little long as the veils were breaking on a few of them so I ended up picking them all. As you can see the one spored all over my perlite. Haha


I then dried them at 135F in a nesco for about 9 hours and they were cracker dry!


All in all I ended up with 11gms dust dry for my first flush which I probably picked to early


But my second flush seems to look like it's going to be ALOT BIGGER! Anyways just thought I'd share my experience just to let all the other newbs out there who are just doing research and thinking about starting that you can do it! Just keep crawling the pages and make sure you have fun doing it! If it's not fun and not a learning experience then what's the point am I right?! Anyhow. Thanks to anyone who reads and enjoys!

CHEERS. ShizSho

Mate that is probably the best first post i've seen in forever. I will be leaving you a 5 shroom rating for your quality post. Good work mate.

Keep consistently misting and fanning them and you will have some solid hauls. You look to have done a very good job mate!

I always leave my mushrooms until the caps are fully open and just start throwing spores before i pick.

:rockon:

Wow. Thank you so very much for the kind words and the ratings. Always nice to hear someone compliment you. For this second flush I think I'm going to attempt to creat a liquid culture from my best shroomy. But time will tell. Thanks again :smile:

The options are never ending bro. Try and take as many spore prints as you can in a SAB from your fruits. Then that way you will be able to trade them when you can access the marketplace for different strains.

Nice work, just a little advise though. Get those cakes off the perlite and on pieces of foil or jar lids. The perlite pulls moisture from the cakes and will hinder results.

Will definitely do that man! I'm just excited to take a tissue sample and make a liquid culture cuz from what I understand you get better yields, based on the fact that there will be less "lazy" mycelium that doesn't produce shroomies. But again I won't know till I try. And with a liquid culture I'm going to try this tek-->  http://www.shroomery.org/11388/PF-Block-Tek

Really? And I had thought it was the other way around and that the cakes would pull moisture from the perlite...? I thought I had read that somewhere here... But yeah I do see a lot of people with foil under theirs. Maybe I will try that. Thanks man

Again man. Thanks really appreciate the compliment and the tip! A newbs gotta learn! And I will update with my second flush when it's done cuz it looks to be about twice the size as the first! So I'm super stoked! :thumbup:

This is just an update as I had promised. My second flush is coming in hot. Please forgive me pinpornproducer. It's not that I didn't take your advice with the foil I had just forgot. And now as I took the picture I remembered but don't have any foil on hand.



As you can see by the picture the second flush is coming in good. There is one shroom in the corner that is outperforming its peers and I believe when he reaches veil breakage I will tissue harvest him into a liquid culture for my next grow into pf blocks. Hope for a more uniform, slightly average bigger mushys with higher yield.

At the end of this I will tell how much dry weight I accumulated in total for the whole grow just so other newbs can kind of have sort of an idea of what to expect in a multi spore newb grow such as mine! And also just for fun!

CHEERS
ShizSho!

Thanks locn9ne:wink: haha yeah i just have been lurking on here for so long I guess I kinda known what to do and not do. Still a newb but yet I still felt like part of the shroom ery family even without an account. But I have a question? That picture in your sig pf cake. Did you grow that? Bcuz that looks like some impressive amount growing off spiralling all over the cake. Makes me smile inside haha :grin:

Nah... I had a tray that my drunk ass dropped and broke, so I broke it up and stuffed it into a beer pitcher until it pinned...looked gnarly. Welcome to shroomery...

Hey just an update! So after my second flush I figured I'd wait an extra day or two to see if I would get a third flush. And thank god I did... These 3 cakes just blew up over night! Biggest growth I've seen yet.! Very excited!! :cool:




As I said before at the end of this experiment I will add all total dried weight just as a example of what's possible with brf, as a total newbie
