Colombian Rust growkit log 1st flush harvested! 2nd flush harvested!
    #23400901 - 07/01/16 11:40 AM (7 years, 6 months ago)

Hi everyone, I wanted to share my first experience of growing psilocybe cubensis mushrooms.
I choose a pre-made grow kit because I will be traveling far away in about a month and a half, and mainly because I will consume the mushrooms only in micro doses as a test to see how it will affect my meditation practice and my day to day consciousness, so I won't need a lot of them.

The kit is a 100% mycellium kit of cubensis Colombian Rust bought from an online retailer in Holland, one of the only one I found that still accepts credit card.

The kit comes fully colonized and all I have to do is open the plastic box, put it in the plastic bag that comes with it and pour some water at the bottom that is going to create humidity in the bag.

I open the bag once or twice a day for fresh air and they are exposed to indirect sunlight about 12h a day.

Here are some pics

D+7




From what I read the pin heads came pretty early, but it doesn t seem to be a lot of them, I guess because of the climate, in the south of France right now it's about 33C(90F) outside all the time, it's cooler inside the house but the mushrooms are still exposed to a steady 26/27C (79F) all the time.

I am hoping to get at least 300g from this kit at the end of july!

Thanks for reading and if you have any comments or questions you are welcome.

Looking good bro but the humidity tent will starve them of FAE also the caps look very dark could be the pictures though as mine looked black on picture but to my eye they were brown
Build an sgfc my first batch were in a humidity tent then the second flush was in sgfc the difference was insane

Thanks for the advice, I just looked up what it was and that's fairly simple to make and very efficient.

I am not really willing to put any more money in this project but I just looked around the house and might have found exactly what I need.

I found a kind of plastic cooker in the kitchen that has holes in the bottom and top, and another black bottom below the one with holes that can contain water,
and I also found clay beads in an old flower pot. I just boiled the beads to clean them and put everything together.



the black bottom with water and in the center air is coming from below



I taped about half of the holes on top because I want to make sure to keep it humid enough inside the box.

The air flow is definitely increased, now let's see how humid it's gonna be, if all is well I shouldn't be able to see through the plastic tomorrow morning.

Condensation is caused by temperature differences on the inside and outside of an object... Untape those holes, there is already a shortage of holes in that atrocity... FAE is more important that super high humidity, especially at this stage.

A plastic tote is shit all cash you can't reinvent the wheel there's a reason everyone makes a sgfc because it works its cheap and quick and easy to make that propagater type thing will be way to humid it'll be a sweat box in there at least drill more holes in the thing if you won't buy a box and fill with perlite you can make a make shift sgfc
The pond in the bottom will knacker it how many mushrooms do you find in a pond
We're not shitting on your ideas we're trying to help you succeed and spread the correct advise to the next person with the wrong idea on how mushrooms work

Thanks for all the help, I untapped the holes and now I know that condensation has nothing to do with humidity :smirk:

Even if this system is not as good as a proper shotgunfc it still is much better than being all closed up in the bag.

I have to put water at the bottom because there are not many clay beads and they dont seem to be as efficient as perlite to produce humidity.

Here is an update 12h after the last pictures.

You could have just increased the holes in the plastic bag. I started off with a kit just like that one and the holes it came with were just perfect for me.



One thing I will say though, don't pour water in the bag, that is useless. Mist your cake and pins directly instead. If you are dying of thirst in the desert and someone finds you, you will still die if they put you in a room and pour water on the floor. It needs to go where it can be used.

Goodluck with it, if yours is anything like mine was, you might be in for a nice haul considering the size of these things. I suspect that they use good clones to make them because I couldn't ever get the same pinset when I started back from MS with the spores I obtained from the fruits.

Woaow very impressive crop from your kit supalemonhaze!

My first flush so far is not that great, there are many empty spots in the kit where no mushrooms are coming out, I read somewhere that the 2nd flush is sometimes better, let's hope on that.

Everything is going really fast now, just three or four days ago I had only pins!

Now I think I will have to start harvesting the 3 or 4 biggest ones late tonight or in the morning.

Hi everyone, so I came back late last night and saw that some of the shrooms already broke the veil or were about to so I harvested everything gradually within the next 2 hours.

The biggest ones are about 15g and a few others 10g.

I am very happy about the total weight of this first flush that came to 115g!

A funny thing I noticed about the mushrooms is that even after harvesting them they keep growing for a while! The ones that had just broken the veil had their caps 2cm farther apart from the veil after an hour.

D+9 evening






I soaked the kit overnight and put it back in the fc but this time outside the original plastic box that came with it, I thought that maybe some mushrooms would also grow from the sides of the cake.

I tried a gram of these fresh mushrooms an hour before going to bed on an empty stomach, the effect was very strong, I felt my body and feelings very relaxed. A sense of well being that was very comfortable, but there was also a lot of energy in my head that made it hard to fall asleep, my body and feelings were at peace but my head was awake.
I woke up much earlier than usual the next day still feeling relaxed, and had this peaceful feeling the whole day, and was much more talkative also, but very tired as well.

Very interesting experience but I made a mistake by taking it at night.
It had a very energising effect on me and am looking forward to try it in the morning like it's supposed to in a few days.

I understand how micro dosing can be very beneficial for psychologic problems, because this evening I feel like something in me has been reset and is starting anew.

In the morning though I gave some to my mother(about 1.4g fresh) and I definitely noticed how much more dynamic and uplifted she was the whole day even though she said she felt no difference. We went for a hike in nature together and we were more deeply connected than usual in our feelings towards each other, there was more harmony between us and she was more poised in her speech and actions.

Thanks for reading and I'll be back with pics when flush number 2 starts!

Yeah, nice fruits you got there. I like to harvest just a little bit later, I like it when the caps open fully. They don't drop a lot of spores if you get them at just the right time. I have noticed that the caps will continue to open if they are in a closed/semi closed container. They won't do that if they start to get dry right away though.

I'm back again to show the 2nd flush!

It's been 6 days since the first flush and things aren't going as well as expected.

Temperatures have gone up in my town, the summer heat brings the indoor temperature at a steady 28C(82F) and more at afternoon peak.

Also I think taking the cake out of the box directly onto the wet clay balls wasn t the greatest idea, and after reading a post somewhere saying that at this stage, contams are less likely to happen I took it easy on the "sterile attitude" towards the grow.

All this brings me only 7 fruits for the 2nd flush!!!! And a beginning of contam, blue spots are slowly spreading coming from the edges of the cake. It just started 2 days ago so the mushroom are ok, I will harvest them in about an hour.

My question now is: if I cut the cake where the bad spots are, dunk it and try to go for a third flush, what are the chances for it to work?

At this point there is nothing to loose so I'll do it but I'd like to see comments on that.

Here are some pics from just now, I'll come back to post the total weight, I'm curious about one of them that is tall and wondering if it's gonna hit the 20g mark!

Blue spots is just bruising, did you re-hydrate it? Cus it looks kinda dry

Yeah I did, but not long enough I think, only about 8-10h.

It definitely looks dry even though I mist from time to time but on the next dunk I will make sure to be patient and leave it a good 12-14h soaking.

The dunk isn't very effective on later flushes, especially with cakes since they are so dense. You need to considerably increase your mistings, the cake needs to glisten at all times.

Don't cut contams out of any sub, you will only be spreading mold spores and mold mycelium fragments around and it still won't work well enough to give you another flush. Just because there's a tiny spot of green on a sub doesn't mean that that's the only effected part. A lot of molds have white mycelium, just like our mushroom mycelium so it will be impossible to tell them apart. The green is just spores, it has no bearing as to how bad the contam is. The blue is just bruising though probably, like teemo said. Just figured I'd throw this in there anyway to save you from yourself in the future.

Ok 2nd flush is harvested and came to a total of 71g fresh!

I am not sure anymore whether it's just bruising or contam on the cake and will just let it go for a 3rd flush and see how it works.

Thanks for all the advice and comments!

I'll update in a few days to see where the cake is at.







EDIT: It was a contam and after a few days something white that looks like mycellium but isnt is taking over, no more pins, it seems it's over for this kit.
