[1st time growing][Help] Psilocybe "Thai" cubensis
    #22286955 - 09/25/15 02:41 AM (8 years, 4 months ago)

Hello,

Me and my roommate decided we wanted to grow shrooms, since we got really into the world of psychedelics. So one day we went to the smart shop and bought our self a nice GrowKit to get started, after storing it in the cooler for a few days, we "fired" it up by following the instructions that where given to us.

After a week or so the first pins were showing and started growing. Now this is the second week and I started to get a little worried about the size and the amount of Mycelium that was started to grow on the stems.

I hope you guys can help me sort somethings out and clarifying things to me on how we should continue or how we should have done it.

I'll include some pictures as reference to our GrowKit.





Thanks in advance! :wink:

They died cause no fresh air. Looks like most are aborts :frown:

Noo :frown:

Is there a way to re-use? Or should we start over completely?

Bummer...

It'll still put out, but you should at the very least poke some holes in that plastic bag. :thumbup:

So, our strategy now should be, poke some holes in the bag and wait until further developments? Or am I misunderstanding? :blush:

Poke holes yeah, maybe get a clearer pic of the mushrooms, see if they mature then pick them. Then you can dunk your kit for 12-24 hours again.

aborts are perfectly fine to eat btw

All right! Thanks a lot!

I will when take a clearer pics when I get home, however this plastic bag has does have some sort of ventilation strips on it, at least that's what it looks like.

Thanks again! I'll update some time later today.

Yeah those strips are for GE (Gas exchange) They are perfect for the colonization stage. But for fruiting you want FAE (Fresh Air Exchange).

That means poking holes so that the mushrooms will get some constant fresh air exchange, and potentially fanning it out once or twice a day.

After you get them some holes you'll start seeing all that white at the base of your mushrooms going away too, or at least in later flushes.

Try to search a bit on grow kits here on the forums, you'll see peoples reactions and advices on them, usually they do ok, as long as you get them fresh air and making sure the substrate does not dry out :thumbup:

My avatar is from a growkit i bought, and after realising the bag did not provide proper air exchange, i built a SGFC and placed my kit in there. My mushrooms loved me for it :heart:

Cool! Will do that ASAP then.

I think I'll definitely look into that SGFC, since I really love growing these Mushrooms. They give of a certain awesome feel when they start popping out and growing, could say its even addictive! :smile:

:whathesaid: that was a decent pin set for a grow kit but they were suffocated in the bag. After you harvest what is there, soak the sub for about 4 hours then drain and put it back in a SGFC built exactly per the link, mist tray till glistening without pooling water as needed around two to five times a day then fan right after. Your second flush will be a world of difference. Good luck and keep us posted!

All right! Will make the SGFC tonight and transfer the kit into it, I'll update the post or even make a nice grow log out of it. :smile:

Getting super pumped for it now! Love the support!

This thread will work for a grow log, sounds like a plan:thumbup:
Growing is addictive, after this you will already have a SGFC, DIY is better and more rewarding IMO.
www.mushroomvideos.com You can watch sample clips of the PF tek, or download all the videos for around 9 bucks, by far the best money a beginner could spend.

So a little update, after flushing our tiny load of pins, we soaked the Kit again and placed it, after 20hrs of soaking, in our SGFC.

Lets hope that we get a better harvest this time :smile:

Awesome man! That's exactly what i did with my first grow kit, the later flushes were fantastic.

Keep in mind to mist/fan as needed.
you want the substrate to be glistening as much of the time as possible. When the next flush is done i would let the cake sit in the fc a day or two to chill, then dunk and into FC again :thumbup:

keep us updated, looking great :rockon:
