First time grower, how's it looking so far?

We are using a the humidifier method with coke bottles and brown rice flour and vermiculite as substrate. Humidity has been at 99% and temp at 77 degrees. Since we put them in a few days ago I have noticed a lot of fluffy white stuff which I think is a good thing. Since this is my first grow and first post, I would just like some of you experienced growers to give me your opinion on how I am doing so far. Do they look okay? We are growing psilocybe cubensis. I spent a lot of hours surfing through the web educating myself on everything before I began this journey. Your response is greatly appreciated! thank you for reading : )

During this time I assume you have heard of a SGFC and dunk and roll procedures? The aerial Mycelium that's growing is not necessarily a good thing. It could be indicator of lack of FAE. I would suggest dunking or heavily misting your cakes and rolling them in a thick layer of vermiculite. Then following this guide to reconstruct your fruiting chamber to allow for FAE. With your fruiting chamber built to spec you can throw away your hygrometer. Then mist your cakes till you see beads of water building on them. The verm will hold these beads of water creating a "micro-climate" around your cakes which holds optimum humidity levels. Eventually this will evaporate causing another pinning trigger for your cakes and then you repeat this process. No fanning needed No 95% RH needed No BS

We do have 2 1/4 inch in diameter holes in the Terrarium for FAE. Is that not sufficient? I will do the dunk and roll method now. Do I need to just get rid of the humidifier all together? Thanks for you help.

God no you need like 400 more mate on every side and top and bottom elevate the thing off the ground and add a lot more perlite

The stuff you see in the bottom is vermiculite to soak up some of the moisture. I think I'm just going to do the shot gun terrarium method now with perlite.

this follow the instructions EXACTLY (get rid of your verm at the bottom of the FC and replace with 5 inches of perlite) Get rid of the Humidifier and hygrometer Mist your cakes till you see beads of moisture etc etc

I finished setting up the SGFC. holes in the bottom and elevated. Cakes dunked and rolled misted & sitting at 99% humidity @ 75 degrees. NOT using a humidifier. Ive got my fingers crossed. There was some bruising on the cakes but I've read that it should go away in about 5 days. How long should I wait to see pinning? Growing psilocin cubensis because I heard it was a good one for beginners to start with. Thanks all!

you need holes in the top, also. ALL SIX sides.
other than that, just keep misting when they get dry. and dont over-mist, either. just mist until there are tiny TINY little beads of moisture on the surface. and you dont want the humdity sitting at 99% always, you want ti to fluctuate, which is what a proper SGFC will make happen.
so get those holes on top(ALL SIX SIDES), and that is perlite in the bottom, right? not verm? if it's perlite, then , and if it's verm, then .
good luck.
oh, and pinning can take up to 2 weeks to start happening. just be patient.

Welcome MRC123,
I was in your shoes a few weeks ago and my grow is currently starting to fruit as we speak.
I would get rid of the foil underneath the cakes and set the cakes directly on top of the lids that came with your mason jars. Set the cakes onto the shiny side of the jar lids. You will notice that there is a small border around the ring of the lid that is slightly more elevated than the inner portion of the lid. This will help make standing water flow into the cake and not just sit there. Standing water is not the end of the world...but it could possibly invite nasties into your grow.
A properly made SGFC will not need any fanning. The 1/4 inch holes drilled every two inches on ALL SIX sides of the chamber will provide enough air exchange for your cakes. An important thing is keeping them hydrated. Mist when they are dry- let the droplets evaporate-then mist again. This constant cycle will stimulate pinning.
I would also position your cakes closer to the center of the chamber in a more tightly placed configuration. Use the jar lids as your guide. The lids should be touching or very close to touching. This will provide a smaller micro-climate between the cakes and will also help keep them from drying out because they are not as close to the edge of the chamber where all the holes are.
It took my grow 2 full weeks to start pinning just like Mupet stated above. The mycelium has a mind of its own, be patient and you will see results.
Also it is important to have holes on the bottom of the SGFC. This is a two-fold idea of awesome, as it not only allows the perlite to drain - but the air will flow from the bottom of the chamber and up thru the perlite to the grow area - helping out with good humidity.
When you mist, mist the area above the chamber and let all the droplets fall on the cakes as well as the perlite and the sides of the container, I've found this helps keep my humidity high.
MOST IMPORTANT! Keep updating us with pictures and posts, these "New Grower" posts really help out the community.
All in all - good job! Keep us posted

Tin foil is fine. I use it all the time never had a problem. I think you cake position is fine as well. They will fruit anywhere in the chamber if it is constructed right.

Wtf are you on about you are new and saying get it off tin foil what everyone does? Why would you want standing water why do you think we mist and not water with a little watering can? If its sat in a little puddle of water it'll go all gooey with metabolites

What am I on about? Well, I'm not on aluminum foil... I'm on jar lids! Which is what a multitude of trusted cultivators say to do. As for being new... sure, I don't have a million post counts - but I'm smart enough to know that a giant square of foil with a higher surface area then a jar lid is definitely going to catch more water then a lid that a cake fits perfectly on.
Use logic, the jar lid allows for many more variables to be correct then a large square of foil. The large square of foil impedes perlite to do its job, it catches more water that could possibly lead to contams and it's just messy.
Go look at the RR video and tell me what he uses... (It rhymes with Bids and starts with an "L") **** EDIT: He uses foil in his video NOT lids, my apologies!

Who cuts foil bigger than their cake its as close to the same size as possible and how does it accumulate water like a lid will with a lip not allowing the excess water escape How does foil impede perlite any more than a lid total bs People use spare lids because they are handy and larger than the cake simple there no science in it its just convenience Stop talking shite Also what are your magical lids made of steel or aluminum same shit but with a lip and thicker I'm saying there's no real difference you shouldn't be accumulating any water to sit under your cake mist and fan not soak and swim

Lids vs foil is a pretty stupid thing to argue about IMO. Now if it was a choice between lids vs salted soda crackers or foil vs cedar planks I could see there being a debate.

I stand corrected... he does use foil in that video.
So I will edit my initial post!
I stand by everything else I stated. Large squares of foil doesn't make sense!
I want my SGFC and the perlite that's in it to work as best as it can. Covering up more perlite than necessary impedes its purpose. You want max surface area for best humidity. If the foil doesn't do anything, than why not cover the entire perlite level with foil? Because that's just silly. So if you wouldn't cover the entire bottom with foil, why would you be against someone going the complete opposite of the spectrum to get best results?
I'm not talking "shite", I am simply sharing an opinion! You're most welcome to share yours as well.
I'm new, but I am beginning to pay strict attention to detail - as I want my grow to be the best it can be.
By disagreeing and attempting to belittle new people on the forum for sharing their knowledge (albeit small) and for sharing their opinions you are not helping the community-you are hurting it.
If you're not willing to learn from the people you teach you will never be a true teacher. Open mind is what this hobby is all about...Why not embrace my information and have a civilized discussion with me instead of flaming me? I might actually learn more that way-and maybe you will too!

I wasn't arguing I said there isn't any real difference its about convenience I was being told I'm wrong for using foil all i was saying was stfu I'm not wrong lol

Nice!! This is starting to look more promising! Hope to see some pins real soon! Idk how you're still getting 99% rh in there without a humidifier but remember, evaporation is a good pinning trigger (I believe right after FAE and before light). Hopefully after you get the holes in the lid and bottom it starts behaving better

Re: First time grower. Pan cyan Jamaican [Re: lotzbetter]

So the syringe finally got here and I'm wanting to get these babies started. I'm wondering what to use as a substrate for the jars. I have some rye berries that I have prepared but I also have vermiculite and brown rice flour that I can use if that's better. Which would be better? Also, a lot of stuff online doesn't really give you much information on how to inoculate the jars like Pc. Do I need anything else except the rye berries in the jars to get started? I know they must be at a higher temp than the pc jars. Any help is appreciated. Thanks all!

Are you planning on doing cakes or a tub?
If you're just doing cakes I'd say stick with brf. Otherwise go with the berries and look up some TEKs that deal with bulk sub. If you're going to inoculate a jar of berries you'll be needing a SAB so you can open the lid
Edit: this will be a good read for you

I was planning on using the berry method to colonize more jars with half of the syringe and then use the other half for the tub method with peat moss and vermiculite to grow and case. What is SAB? Would it just simplify everything if I used the same method as I did for the Psilocybe cubensis just with less substrate, then used the spores from the grown mushrooms to make more?

SAB still air box. You can find out how to make one by searching for it in the forums. Also give this a read It's the same link in my last post I edited

Update on the P. Cubes. This is at 4 days in the terrarium. Holes went in on the top and bottom. Been spraying and fanning. Humidity levels flexuates between 85-99% and temp flexuates between 75-80. Ambient lighting throughout the day. Ive noticed gold speckles and the mycelin continues to grow but not up into the air as it was doing before.

The wet slimy stuff around the grains and collecting near the bottom looks like bacteria. Hard to tell cause the pic is poor, maybe it's just wet. But if it's that wet bacteria will be coming soon.

The grain shouldn't have sprouted unless you didn't sterilize it. So, if it sprouted before, you should've noticed it when you were loading your jars. So uh... without delaying the big question any longer... did you sterilize the jar?

I let the rye berries soak for 24 hours then dried them out (obviously not for long enough) then put them in the jar and sterilized it with a pressure cooker for an hour. Then inoculated it via syringe

fuck you then and your enormous signature!  jk.
but seriously, why not make a SGFC and do this right? I'm sorry, I haven't read though everything. but basically, if you're doing a mess o' cakes, just make a SGFC. No?

hmmm? I hope you use agar before you jump to grains... if you're growing cakes, you could at least clone fruits you like to agar, then inoculate your berries. that'd be awesome

I used brf for jars when inoculating Pan Cyan Jamaican. I plan on using the method attached to the link below to fruit after the jars are fully colonized. I probably should of started small and moved my way up but I can be a bit of an overachiever and my reach can sometimes go far.

You should overachieve your way into agar like dankington suggested btw that sig is dope would make a better user image imo though

I thought I would share my pinning timeline with you.

also, I have a question about one particular shroom that is growing from the bottom. The cap looks a more dark brown then the rest. Is that normal or is it rotting?

Nice job ahha exciting stuff eh? That pin may be an abort. I had a few on my cakes the heads go almost black and when you put pressure on with your finger they kind of just turn to mush. try touching it see what it does. if its still hard its prolly okay, but if it mushes then id pick it off and toss it

it looks like it is probably fine. just leave it alone. sometimes you can fuck a pin up by messing with it, and cause it to abort. even lightly rubbing a finger over pins can make them abort, Ive heard. so just leave it alone. if it doesnt grow with the rest, then you know it aborted

You may consider putting some moist verm on your cakes, and maybe bottom watering in a dish. Put a little water in a few saucers and set the cakes in them. Change the water daily.
Ideally you should have dunk and rolled with a bit more verm rolled on the cakes. Doing okay though, much better than my first cakes!

Love it when people are so excited about what happens in 4 days that they open up a photo editor and make a nice collage for us.

patience, they're coming along. Try that bottom watering I mentioned, as there's some bruising from drying it looks like. Maybe put a little more moist verm on top too.

I would wait a bit more before picking those.

Well I've only gotten about 5g dry out of those 6 cakes. most seemed small. I had 2 large ones. I didn't even have many aborts either maybe 1 or 2 : ( i don't know but that seems like a really low yield for my first flush. What do you think?

Pan Cyan Jamaican Colonizing [Re: mrc123]

Ive got these brf jars with pan cyan, but they seem to be taking so long to colonize. I think its been 2 weeks now. Anything I should be doing or just wait a bit longer. I though pans colonize quicker than cubes? Ive got wbs jars in preparation for my next Pan Cyan syringe. The second picture shows a black piece of what came out of the syringe after inoculating. Is that normal for pan??? I shook it up pretty good but it didn't mix as well as cubes. (sorry about the blur photo, my camera died).

yeah 5g dry from 6 cakes is pretty low, but it;s your first time(right?), so youre learning what they need.
i havent grown pans yet, so i cant say much about those jars. but are those supposed to be grain jars? brf? or what?

Those jars look like they've been colonizing for about 2 weeks

What kind of lids are these? How did you inoculate?

Just the regular lids that come will the ball jars. There 4 holes on the top close to the sides and equally spread out. I used a syringe.

 You must have some sort of filter, or you're going to be in trouble. That's why there's a dry verm layer at the top of PF tek jars. This could definitely be a main reason as to your lower yields.
Also, cakes should be fruited as cakes.
Syringes are okay for BRF cakes, but not for taking to grains. You are just going to get upset at all the failure. Syringes must be used for cakes or for cleaning up on agar. We really want to see you succeed!

So you can't use a cube syringe with this TEK? https://www.shroomery.org/9030/Doc34-s-Wild-Bird-Seed-Tek
This is what I'm starting on. Not sure what I'm going to do with the mycelian thats in the pan cyan jars. Any ideas? I figured I could just transfer it to a tub mixed with poo and peat moss with a little vermiculite and see what happens. I'd hate to see it go to waste, but making the mental note to not use cakes for pan cyan next time.
Also, the jars you see in the photo do have a dry layer of vermiculite to prevent contams.

You may have noticed that tek is 11 years old. We don't suggest those things anymore because they are just not good practice. Cutting corners won't help if you want to get into mycology seriously, or at least for more than a grow for novelty.
I've seen pans on cakes before. But you should just fruit cakes as cakes, because they are so riddled with bacteria. They work because of the way they're setup. But they're not meant to be spawn for a bulk substrate. It's actually that BRF is so nutritious, that the mycelium can fruit despite all the contamination. However, you still want to increase your chances of success, so you should try to minimize your risks.
Your dry layer of verm should be flush against the lid of the jar. I'd also recommend 1/2 pints, as they're optimal for cake grows.

Okay. Thanks. That makes sense. So any suggestions on what I should do with the pan cyan mycelian from here?
