First time grow, advice and tips welcome!
    #21747040 - 06/01/15 01:07 AM (8 years, 7 months ago)

Hi there!
Long story short, a buddy of mine has a heart filled passion for magic mushrooms, and decided to cultivate some, and along the way tutored and instructed me for my first psilocybin cubensis grow. :smile:
So far I'm in the fruiting process and have started seeing mushrooms. Any advice or tips for my next time around? Anything would be much appreciated! Motivated to pick up any techniques:thumbup:

Species: Psilocibin Cubensis- Costa Rican
Tek: bird seed
Fruiting light: 10h light off 14hr light on

I occasionally mist the sub when it appears dry, hopefully will be seeing more pins later!  http://

P.s. The scar in the sub was an unfortunate event that happens when I first put the sub in the terrarium to fruit. Doesn't seems to affect much.

Aside from the scar, everything looks ok. Can you upload a pic of your SGFC, so we can see how that's working? Also, how long have they been in fruiting?

sure, I'll get those pics up ASAP. And I believe I began fruiting 6 days ago. Thank you.

All looks great from what I can here :thumbup: Nice healthy white mycelium.

Here is my set up for now. 24 watt light, with 24hr air pump pushing air through an airstone through distilled water. Just something to keep fresh air inside while I'm not at home and unavailable to fan it. I fan and mist about twice a day.

misting and fanning are only as needed, not times per day. You should only mist if the sub looks dry, and you're all good there. Fan only after spraying to disperse the water in the air. You don't need to fan all the time either if you're using a airpump/airstone. I'm using one myself right now and it eliminates the need to fan ime.

And question about your lighting: Is it a 6500 Kelvin CFL?

Thank you! Without the help of my friend (rmshrooms), I probably would be fruiting a big ol' mono tub of contaminants. :grin: sterile inoculation, and intense incubating heat control would have been the death of me for my first time if it wasn't for the tips, and research he did off of these forums. Glad to be apart of the shroomery community finally!

Alrighty, I usually only mist it on the light side to keep from drying the sub out. I'll just keep an eye out on it and apply mist when needed.
As of the lighting, I bought it from my buddy. I really don't know what it is. It's an FTL listed 5.5" economy 75 watt capacity. I only have a 24 watt in it I believe.

Wattage isn't what's important with lighting...

http://www.shroomery.org/11386/Lighting-Requirements-of-Mushrooms

It'll say on the base of the bulb. My first grows were with a 2700K bulb, because that's all I had at the time. When I switched to a 6500K bulb, my bins began exploding... in the good way :wink:

Link saved! I'll be heading to my local store tomorrow to look for some CFL's. I'll also try to search for the higher kelvin listed bulbs. I have been running the halogen soft white

Usually, any "Daylight" bulb should do. Just remember to check the Kelvin number.

Btw, everything else looks great! You've taken your first steps into a much larger world :thumbup: You should post some pics of your harvest, I'd like to see how it turns out.

Okay, I'll check on that before choosing a bulb. Thanks again for your wisdom and kindness, and of course I'll be posting first harvest pictures, hopefully soon! :mushroom2:

Ambient room lighting ie the sunlight that comes through your window and your room lights is more than good enough your really just giving them light because they like us have a circadian rythm if you cant give them that really any daylight bulb on a 12/12 will work light is a  a secondary pinning trigger your #1 pinning trigger is evaporation off the cake and genetics genetics so as for temp if your happy they are thriving tempatures that are on the cooler side ie 65°-70° produce thicker meatier fruits while warmer temps 80°+ produce thinner hollow fruits so better to be cooler then hotter so id that said your pins look healthy so your doing pretty good did you use multispore? :seriousthumbsup:

Thank you, and yes I did use a multi spore. I keep my fruiting chamber in a closet that is about 70 degrees to 65 degrees.

This is my friend I was telling you about myco ninja, I guess I don't have to send his pics to you now. . I think I am going to suggest for him to buy a t-5 light fixture.

I am using an apollo 40 watt t-5 veg light for mine. Seems to do work!

I'm gonna google that :thumbup: Give me a few minutes...

EDIT: Damn, that's a sexy light setup. I don't have the space to set something like that up where I'm at now, but i will keep that little gem saved in my bookmarks. Thanks dude :thumbup:

hey dude! you wanna build another FC for your trays, they dont get anywhere near the fresh air they crave.

trays do well in SGFC's, or you can flip another tray upside down on it and create a dub-tub.
