First timer: Healthy or no?
    #21872855 - 06/29/15 10:49 AM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hi, I'm very new to this wonderful hobby so I figured I would buy a grow kit my first time around to see how it works.

I'm on day 11 out of 12 of the spawning phase of the kit @ 27 to 30 degrees C.

I have the box placed in my closet next to a space heater programmed to 27-30 at all times. I haven't been completely consistent with heat regulation, however the mycelium is showing through the straw substrate and looks nice and white with no discoloration.

The problem I am having is I'm noticing a weird smell :eek:

I'm half thinking the bag leaked and it's smelling like wet cardboard, however I'm seriously hoping that I don't have a bacterial infection.
(I opened the bag to check exactly what the Mycelium looks like and it looks somewhat wet.)

Please review the pictures below and let me know what you think.

P.S. Screw kits. Next time I'm doing everything on my own. I spent 100 bucks on this damn thing..

Looks pretty healthy to me, id keep an eye out for funky growth if you smell something other than mushiness.

Yeah if I were you I wouldn't buy a kit, especially one for that much money. You could have done the same thing yourself for a lot cheaper haha.

Thank you for the reply.

How long should I wait before applying the top layer of casing soil?

Should the top be completely covered in Mycelium?

What if I applied the soil too early?

When it looks fully colonized, but hasn't started pinning id add the top casing layer.

Ok thanks. So fully colonized meaning the surface is completely covered in mycelium?
