First Grow.

Started my firs grow the end of last month. Here are some a little log of the process.
The start ~July 30th.

Sitting around and waiting was brutal!

It feels good, when you finally see the progression.

After a dunk and roll put in the chamber for fruiting. My first shroom!

They grow up so fast!

My entire chamber.

My first shroom.
 19 grams
Just for your information non of my cakes are sitting directly on the perlite. I just tore enough tinfoil to only cover the bottom of the cakes. All feed back is welcome. Thanks to all the Teks out there and the Shroomery couldn't have done it without you.

 The only thing I can see (may just be the pic) you may need more holes in your FC, they look a little random. Are they in a grid pattern 2" apart on all 6 sides?

Yes, there are holes on all 6 sides. I didn't measure them though I just eyeballed if. I am sure it isn't up to the exact specs. The inly issue I have run into is one contam on this batch of 9 and one other on my second batch of 9. I haven't been able to figure out how they got contaminated, both were trich I believe.

Dirty spore syringe. Start working with agar, and you'll be able to SEE contams before transferring to your sterilized jars.

Once you start doing agar you'll never go back to syringes. I know I never will

Well it was only one jar out of both batches. The rest were perfect! I don't think it was dirty syringe. I actually have everything I need to do agar, or at least I think I do. It is just getting around to using it that is the issue.

Yeah, see I understand the part of prepping the agar. I just have no idea what to do afterwards.... how to start growing or cloning or even choosing/cutting the proper parts.
