Chefjrd grow log

Just posting up a grow log. I've got my first market in the morning. I started out growing PoHu oyster in milk crates. I got one flush and 1.5 lbs off of one and 2 lbs off of the other. After that it dried too much to flush again.


Next I went and got Amycel's 3015 and did three straw bags supplemented with gypsum and about 5-10% alfalfa per buckeye's videos. I didn't get contams but I want to see if the alfalfa actually made a difference and will try a bag without in the future. I also have wood fuel pellets and will be integrating those and starting some kings growing. Being the first time in bags I tried different sizes to see what I liked. One bag was 6 lbs, one was 11-12 and one was 14-15. For the future, I'm planning on sticking with about ten lbs. 15 is a bit unwieldy in the grow chamber (which is a clone of Gr0wer's automated 5 shelf setup [Thank you!]) and 6 lbs I feel I should get more shrooms for the space it takes up.

Here's some pics of the mushies I picked on Thursday and Friday. Thursday's are definitely not looking great. I will be selling them discounted at the market and marked to use within a day. I picked 5 lbs even from the logs.


Tomorrow I will post a pic of my table.

Awesome dude! I just got back from my first one and it was "ok", I sold two pounds, but that was to like literally every serious shopper there! It was a weak turnout, but I have a spot for the Saturday and Sunday markets too which are supposed to be pretty big, so hopefully I will get rid of the rest then. I'm going to post a pic of my table to the thread I made about yesterday, good luck dude!

Looks good man! Got more pics of the chamber? What are you doing for humidification?

Alright! Great day at the market! Sold all but one 4 oz. bag that I gave to a friend. Here's a pic of my table -

Here's some pics of my chamber and room. I built the same shelves as you, Gr0wer, but I built the top up so I could use that shelf as well. I'm using 3 mini disc diggers in a bucket pushed by another one that's a swamp cooler bucket with fan. The AC is set to its coldest without mods and it stays a constant 62 in the chamber during the day and 60 at night. I've got two sets of 2 6500k lamps and will probably add more in the front and back.

You have more than enough lights. I only have 2 19w floros for my small chamber. My 7x11 big chamber only has one of those 4' fixtures.

Wow. Good to know. I just saw 2000 lux or lumens or something and was like MOAR! I'm looking to also start kings on the same tent.

What is your spawn ratio per 10lb log?

I think Amycel's grow sheet specs 1-2% or something really low like that. I'm doing about 8%. I don't want contams with the alfalfa and it colonized in about 10 days.

I've been doing about a quart for a ten pound bag. I *think* the weight is measured to dry straw. Otherwise I'm using way too little spawn, but it's working.
