B+ and Penis Envy - first time
    #22388738 - 10/16/15 02:49 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

Hello again my inter-galatic friends. Two weeks ago i was in a amsterdam trip and bought some magic truffles [1st trip - lvl 1 and 2nd trip - lvl 2]. I never experienced psilocybin before and i was thinking that the truffles i bought maybe will be to weak or something. SO, i bought 2 100% mycelium - supa gro kits (B+ and Penis Envy). By the time i got home my gf made me a big surprise: she bought me a 100% mycelium B+ kit and a heating pad ! :bow2:

I started "growing" the 1st kits (supa b+ and PE) 5 days ago, i followed the kit instructions: cleaning the grow area, washing my hands with antibacterial soap, i used antibacterial gel, removed the casserole lid, put it in the filter bag and let them stay without opening for 3 days. Put them on the heating pad and tried rise the room temp from 18-19C to 22.5-23.5C. After this 3 days, i started doing some manual fae ( putting the bags near the open window ) and myst. Yesterday (day 4) the first pins appeared on the B+ kit. Today there were more.

Still not much action on the PE kit, but i read they "move" a little slower. The other B+ kit is too young ( 3 days old  :inlove3: ) to talk about it yet.

Now with the question : i had 2 pc fans and a digital timer that i want to use for FAE, is ok to put the fans ~30cm at direct air flow for 1 minute every 4H ? (6 times a day for 1 min )

Sorry for no pics but my camera quality really sucks :thumbdown:, so until i can get a better camera the pics are not relevant :confused:. (8 mpx with no focus ... )

throw away the heating pad, they have no place in growing mushrooms.

if you're reading instructions that say to use a heating pad, your reading some old ass bullshit, or you have a grow kit :mad2:

fans and timers too :sad:

those kits would do better if you ditch the pad, the fan, the timer, and just put a plastic bag with some holes in it over the top.

grow kit instructions seem to be intentionally bad. it wouldn't hurt those con artists one bit to at least tell you how to get the most out of your insanely over priced kit.

Thank you bodhisatta very much for stopping by and gave me a bit of your time ! :cheers:



I used the pad cuz the room temp was very low, 18-19C. Ok, i listened to ur advice and removed the pad. I read here on forums about FAE and mysting, should i or  should't i use fans for fae ? I`m a bit confused :eek:


It's a promise that in my next ams trip i will buy some spores,  already got some verm and perlite :blush:

Fans/fanning is not a replacement for fae... with a properly built fruiting chamber you will get all the fae you need.

sorry I probably come off as a dick(so I hear :lol:)
18C is on the cool end but you don't need any supplemental heat if you can maintain 18C. 20-21C is perfect, I would say at least 75% of my grows were done in the 18-19C range.  65-67F or so.

Passive FAE > active FAE. if you can have holes rather than a fan do it always.

monotubs sometimes people use a fan next to their tub, but the holes are stuffed with poly fiber so the fan just helps in some people circumstances.

Honestly to determine when you need to mist and if you need more FAE is something that comes with a few grows under your belt. you need the first hand experience and data your eyes give you to make those determinations. you can't just mist X times a day. you have to mist when it needs it and also the volume of mist needs to be correct. you don't want to soak it.

if it's got a dome or humidity tent over the top chances are you won't have to mist very often, you can just "bottom water" it every other day by placing the mycelium block in a tray of water for a few hours.

literally just pick it up and put it in the water and then put it back into it's fruiting thing. or pour water into the fruiting thing and pour it back out after an hour or two.

chances are the "fruting thing setup" they gave you is less optimal than it would be if you just put a plastic bag with some holes in it over the top.


it's hard to give advice for things like this to a total beginner because some things you just need to have done already to know what they're supposed to look like. if you keep the shroomery updated and with pictures(if you can manage) that will severely help out your chances of getting the most out of the kit.

Okay I do use a timer for my lights, let's be fair now.  FANS on a timer, however, nope.  Well.... Actually. A fan across the room from the grows, pointing away from them, running 5 minutes out of an hour might be okay.  Maybe.

Fans do increase FAE though... it's just fanning that doesn't really help.  A ceiling fan being on in a grow room makes a huge difference.  Wouldn't really recommend it without a casing layer but that's not the same as it being pointless.

Bod has already sort of cleared that up since I typed all this but I'll leave it anyway.

:grin: if u ware a dick perhaps you have not bothered to answer me.

Now that i fix the room heating source i can use the thermostat to set a fix temp for the whole room, as i read in older and newest threads the 75-80F, 23-26C is the best temp for pinning and fruiting (from what i understood, the pinning and fruiting stage is the same thing, i am right ?)

I try to get a camera as fast i can. Until then, all can say is that every hour appear more and more knots that turn into primordia. So far are 21 big primordia :bow2:

[offtopic]bodhisatta, what is the name of the pattern from your sign ?

That's lock9s image bit its some sacred geometry thing.

68-72f is great 72-75f is perfect 75+ isnt worth it.
20-21c range is great

Colder temps = slightly slower growth but thicker less hollow shrooms which most ppl prefer

LocN9ne sorry for mistake ! Last night u say ? Last night i had my 2nd trip  and this pattern was everywhere ! :eek:

@bodhisatta  Ok, i set the thermostat to 21.5C, to have great-perfect range  :hi:

The table where the kits are, it is relatively close to one of the radiator (water radiator). I had 2 radiators in room, the one that is close to kits is on 40% power and the other one is at the opposite side of room a 100% power.

would i need to stop the closest rad. ?

What do you guys say about the fruits and the casseroles ?

I noticed that too much water gathered at the bottom of [1]B+ tent bag, this means that i mist too much, so i made some holes in the corners of the bag to drain off  the excess water. I don`t want to wake up with mold there ..
I searched on the forum but did not find exactly when should i mist, if i leave the bag alone even after 24H is wet on the edges/borders ...

The [2]B+ kit it seems to be moving better then the first [1]B+ kit ..:bow2:

And the Penis Envy still do not give signs of pinning ...:sad: It does not look too dry ? :sad:


Any advice is well welcome :inlove3:

For these trays you want to lightly mist until you see a fine coating of water on the surface, the last few photos you linked look great. If its looking dry then mist, there isn't really a formula / set number of times to mist per day.

Not sure about the PE, haven't grown it yet.

Hmmm...When I'm fruiting in the mono I have the fan running 24/7. It's a 6" fan situated above the tub on a shelf pointing at the opposite wall.  I'd rather put it on the timer with the lights instead of having it running all the time.  Good to know man.

Well 12 hours a day isn't really a good timetable for a fan, you'd need separate timers, at that point you're better off turning off the fan and just pulling out polyfill.

Well my grow room is in a storage closet.  5x4 I would say.  There isn't air movement in there at all (Atleast with the door shut)
5minutes out of an hour huh?  I'm going to give no fan a try and see how things go that way.

That was a random estimate with consideration for a full sized room.  If you do this in a closet, call it your idea, not mine. :lol:

In a closet is easy to make a passive air intake with  a tubing cooker hood. Theoretically you take the one end of the tube outside the physics will do the rest for you.
