Yeah the mutant looks spore-less.

The rest maybe a day or two, small caps are normally a sign of improper environment.




Any ideas what might be wrong with the environment then? Also when it comes to harvesting I've seen everything from people just chopping caps off to people taking the whole thing (the entire stem and such). I want to take the stems with them since I eat those too, but how far down should I disconnect the stem from the cake? Like should I do it just before the cake or just before the "fuzzy feet" since they all seem to have this.

You got 4-5" of perlite right? SGFC built to spec? 6-12" away from all walls and the ground?

Yep. Everything is perfect as far as I've read. And trust me I've read a fuck ton. Is it possible these fruits just have genetics that made the caps so tiny?

Not a clue. It's super hot outside where I live, even when it's not summer, and therefore I keep my AC on 78F 24/7. I don't know if this helps you any.

Outside RH can have an affect on inside conditions but for now lets be happy you got some shrooms. Now that you have everything dialed in it'll be interesting to watch your second flush :thumbup:

I have 9 other cakes that have yet to show noticeable pins yet. This one cake I've been posting just seems to be the fastest to fruit so far. Not to mention these 4 shrooms on it seem to be just the beginning since I got twice that in pins all around em. I'll keep on updating! Hopefully my chamber will be full of fruiting cakes eventually.

Edit- the 9 other cakes showed primidora or whatever it's called when I birthed them, but since I've dunked and rolled them + put them in SGFC they haven't really had any progress.

I'm using an old weed grow light that just so happened to have the blue-ish color spectrum I heard about on RR's videos. I figured it was perfect, but maybe I'm wrong. I don't really know what kind of light it is specifically other then it was for weed and gives off a blue colored light.

What light? I got some experience with the green.

It's a compact fluorescent made by current-usa. It use to grow some mean green, so I don't see how it wouldn't be sufficient enough for this :tongue:. Either way though I suppose I will find out if it's just genetics or if it is in fact a lighting or SGFC related issue when I see how my next flush turns out.

I would assume. I've basically just been guessing by using this light. I bought it many years back so I have no clue what the watts are or anything. So I should look for florescent lights marked daylight? Is that all I got to look for @ the store? Because I'll happily buy some if you guys honestly think it will help me.

You have it on a 12/12 cycle? Can you take a pick of the tub with the light on?

Yeah, mushrooms like Dayling 6500k CFLs. I saw someone running Metal Halides and it dried out their sub.

Yea I have it 12/12 exactly everyday since I place the first cake in the SGFC here's a pic of the set up:



Lol after taking this pic it just occured to me my problem might be the fact the chamber's lid isn't clear. The store I got it only had solid grey ones. So the light only gets in through those little top holes. You think that might be the problem?

Well I'll have to try putting in on the side since the clear lid isn't really an option until I buy a second tote for another SGFC, but I'll definitely move the light to the side when it's time to turn it back on. The 12 hours of light just ended for the day. I can't believe I derped out like that. I really should have considered how the lid was blocking the light haha.
