Feedback for First Time Grow
    #21995912 - 07/25/15 03:46 PM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hi all,

I recently finished my first grow using the PF Tek method. I had made 4 jars from the start, but ended up tossing one out as it appeared contaminated. I was able to get some from the other 3 cakes and picked and dried those.

Since this was my first grow, I made mistakes along the way but nothing seemed really problematic. The pictures are some of the mushrooms from my first grow and I wanted to get some feedback on how they look. I'm still learning about identifying different contaminants, so I figured it would be best to ask before consuming anything. The spore syringe were Cubensis B+

Congratulations on your first harvest.

I've never seen shroomies like that. How did you dry them?

I used a cheap food dehydrator and let them dry in it overnight. To be honest, I probably let them fruit a few days too long. My thought was to let them get bigger in size (after the veil breaks), and then later found a lot of people saying to pick them when the veil breaks. Right now I'm attempting a second flush, and if that works then I'll know to pick them earlier.

Congrats on getting shrooms. They do look a bit funky but like u said that coukd just be from letting them grow to long. Any time i have eaten shrooms with dark caps like that i get a gnarly gut load. I dont know why or if its placebo just because they look off. Either way id eat them and have a nice trip.

Im doing my first grow and have 3 6qt tubs in a mini greenhouse. Been in there for 7 days with no pins but its PE so i hope to have some within the week.

I would do the best you can to make sure dehydrating temps don't go over 165 degrees. I did that, the results were pretty un-potent shriomies. But that also could be due too weak Spores... Just FYI is all.

Yeah always harvest after the veil tears.

I don't think dehydrators go over 165 but it's been said many times that potency isn't affected until well over 300 degrees.
Congratz on your first grow!!! :nyan:

I've seen mixed information about what temperature is too high for mushrooms, but ~300 seems to be the most common answer. This dehydrator doesn't have a temperature setting, but it feels its well below 160 f. I'm guessing its around 120 f.

Glad to get some positive feedback! I think I might try using them for micro dosing for a while, or making a small amount into a tea.
