Thin stems and small caps, whats wrong?
    #23140166 - 04/21/16 11:34 AM (8 years, 8 months ago)

Hey there shrommeyz!
I bought a growkit from growkit.com about a month ago. These were Mexican Cubensis. I follow the instructions and everything correctly.
Now after 4 weeks the box is full but all the mushrooms are very thin and the caps are extremly small. They haven't gotten bigger since 1 week back.



I keep the shrooms in a closet with a small opening on the door so it gets some light. I'm thinking it could be because the shrooms aren't getting enough air but I could be very wrong. Is there something I can do or should I buy a new kit?

Its a grow kit. They aren't getting any fresh air.
Besides that they look quite normal for mexicanas actually.

I'm gonna have them outside in the room instead, is it too late though?
They are about 10cm tall each of them. Not sure if I should let them be or harvest them already as they aren't growing anymore.

Elongated stems and small caps are a sign of high co2 levels.

not enough light makes small caps and the choke bag restraining FAE makes them skinny.
next flush burn/poke holes in the bag or build a proper SGFC.

Thanks for the help, will use different method next time.

What about this flush, can I still use them or is it too late?

Just wanted to update in case someone else run into similar problems.

I increased the amount of light on the growkit and also the amount of fresh air.
The shrooms grew way bigger.

Even though the first batch was really small there is no problem at all to trip on them :smile:
