Hi,
I got a PE growkit but still no pinheads after 9 days, with B+ I had pins after 4 days, am I doing something wrong or does this strain need more time?

On my first grow log I fruited 17 trays at the same time. First started pinning in 4 days. Last one did at the 23rd day. Longest I've had to wait is about 4 weeks. No 2 trays were ever the same. Every set of genetics are different. Just like with all creatures. Nothing is made exactly the same in nature.
That being said, show us pics!

That X thing looks pretty cool. But it does look dry there. Mist directly until its glistening/with little beads all over the surface. But with no pooling water

That is horribly dried out and matted, no pinning surface in there to speak of really. PE is notorious for taking a very long time to pin, up to a month in some cases. But you are going to really need to get conditions dialed in better if you are to see anything at all.

I bought one of those and I saw pins at 11 days or so. Penis envy is slow. You are still good imo. The instructions say your pins will appear from 10 to 15 days depending on temp. Give it a few more days and it will explode. Believe me... better yet see for yourself

Hi ! I have 2 a Penis Envy grow kit that looks exactly like yours !
I grow the PE alongside with B+, the B+ kit already it has a lot of pins, but only now PE is beginning to start showing some action. I read that PE is generally moving more slower ...
Good luck and remember that patience is everything

Cheers! I've ordered from them for a few months now and they're fantastic. Their truffles are also really good and strong. They also have mescaline, salvia, LSA etc.

Some more pictures some days later.
I'm new to grow kits so do you think this looks good? Tomorrow will be two weeks since buying it.
The shroom on the left looks a bit weird? How long would it take till harvest?
cheers!

Very nice cluster there. You should harvest when the shrooms start to swell right under the cap ( ull know it when you see it). They look good man dont worry about abnormalities like that. You should start worrying when you see strange colours in your substrate or it smells funny.
If I were you I would take a couple of clones from that cluster in the corner after you harvest. That way you dont lose those genetics cos probably you wont have anything like that in your second flush. Agar is your best friend for doing this. An alternative would be liquid culture but they are known to contam easily. I only made one LC so far and its awesome.
Edit: dont let them swell too much because the swelling is just water they wont get any bigger after they start swelling

From what i read, PE is not throw spores, so after opening the fruit he still grows more and more... It would be a shame to reap prematurely and lose tens of grams.
yesterday i think i saw the first pins forming, after 11 days lazy penis not penis envy .. until it thought he starts pinning i harvested 2x B+ kits ..
keep posting updates, im curious how it develops. good luck dude !

You are to harvest PE when the bumps appear below the cap on the stipe. Cap color will get dramaticallly lighter as well. Wait for the bumps.

This picture seems to illustrate what Pasty just said pretty well. I'll just use this one every time this comes up.

Yea the veil breaks early on penis envy. Mine always break as pins. Thats why I wait till they swell or till edge of caps start turning up.

Veil tearing in some mushrooms. I wonder if it's usual that the mushrooms are not spreaded throughout the cake? Some empty patches and white cross in the middle remains bare?

is it correct penis envy is twice as strong as normal cubes? I intend to dose 20g fresh, would that give me a good trip? I usually eat 3g normal cubensis

If you normally eat 3 grams of cubes then 20 grams fresh will blast you face outta yer butthole. As I said in an earlier post the surface was dry, matted and had a poor pinning surface. Thats why so much of your tray didn't pin. Do it yourself, do it correctly, and you can have a canopy. But to be honest its better than I thought it would be.

Yeah i'll keep that in mind for future flushes .
Sorry I meant I normally eat 3g dry, nog fresh, so 20g will still be strong? Opinions seem to vary as to whether PE is a lot more potent or not.

I have grown totally bunk PE once. Only once. But 99% of the time PE is incrediblely potent. Treat it with caution until you know what you have. 20 grams fresh is a good dose tho, thats what I would start with myself.
