Golden Teacher Grow Log (likely contaminated) HARVEST TIME
#23645116 - 09/14/16 04:17 PM (7 years, 4 months ago) |

After my mini monotub failiure, I'm really hoping I can get something out of these tubs. They've actually started pinning sooner than I expected.
Details on the mini in this thread, https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/23632576
Learning from the mistakes from my mini, I added 3 6500k lights, misted a bunch, and increased fae. While the mini was likely contaminated from the spawn phase, I'm really hoping that's not the case for these tubs. If it is, hopefully I can get .5-1 flush out of them.
I skipped colonization for both tubs.
Here's the pinning that has begun,
Tub 1: (9/14)

Tub 2: (9/14)

Do these pins look healthy or do they look like they will make tiny mushrooms like my mini tub?
One thing I didn't mention about the minitub. The spawn colonized in the jar much longer. The spawn used in the big tubs colonized for about 2 weeks while the spawn for the mini tub colonized for 3-4 weeks. By the time I used the spawn for the mini tub, it was pretty dry.
UPDATE 1: (9/15) Pins have matured a bit and they don't look like tiny!

UPDATE 2:
(9/16)

UPDATE 3: In the end contamination wasn't an issue and I got an extremely successful first flush.
Here it was close to harvest,

After I harvested about half of everything from both tubs,

A cool couple of mutants,

A grand total of about 6-7oz dry from both tubs. More than I will ever need. Thanks for all your advice everyone! I couldn't have done this without the help of this kind and welcoming community. You guys are great.

Thanks guys.
I assume it's contaminated since the jars for the contaminated mini were inoculated in the same conditions as the big monos.

Jars came out fine, although the mycelium looked a bit weak. This is what my mini looked like though,

I'm worried I might be misting too much. Is it okay to mist the substrate and pins when there's no droplets of moisture on the surface?

id say leave them alone, but i think a more experienced grower might have better advice :P looks like you got a healthy flush going anyway!
next time if you think your spawn is dry you can always dunk the grains.

They should fatten up given that you have good fae and lighting regular cube pins usually look pretty thin at that stage atleast mine always have and they usually get 12-19 grams wet grown

Things are looking good. I'm cautiously optimistic, but super paranoid the veils are going to break early leaving me with small mushies.

Small mushies betta then no mushies
Like he said could be genetics, but all the way up until about a day or two before harvest (which youll learn) you want beads of moisture across the top of your sub. This will help fatten them up

I took out the poly on one of the top holes, but I doubt it'll have a huge effect. The hole was already stuffed extremely loosely.
Looks like I may have misted too much yesterday. This morning I woke up to some indented mushroom caps and some dark spots,

Yeah it all looks good. Small mushies are better than no mushies. Bacteria does tend to do that if it's in your sub. Looks as the mushrooms in my sig. All from bacterial spawn. They grew okay, but notice how they are kinda small.
Bacteria will affect yield 90% of the time. Just depends on the type of bacteria and how aggressive it is.

Spawn was definitely contaminated with bacteria. It had the funky sweet smell.

The blotch. This happens when the caps stay wet for too long.
Other than that looking good!

Yeah. Unless you have mold growing on your mushies, they can safely be consumed without anxiety about being harmful.

Does a lot of weight get added to the mushroom after the veil breaks?

A little. After the veil breaks, you still usually have a few hours before full maturity. At that point you will begin to see spores drop, indicated by a dark purple/black discoloration on the broken veil and stem. If you wait too long past this point, it will drop loads of spores, on the tops of the mushrooms and turn them black. This could effect future flushes negatively and tend to make your mushrooms taste pretty horrid.
Get them out before that happens.

Not a lot, but I like to wait until the veil breaks just in case psilocybin is still being produced. I think after the viel breaks you are reaching the point of diminishing returns as far as weight and potency go.

It's honestly a matter of personal preference OP. Some harvest before the veils even break. Some after. Some a few hours after.
It's whatever you want, whatever you're aiming for. If you don't want spores everywhere, harvest just after the veils break. If you want absolutely clean with no spores at all, harvest right before it breaks. If you want to make a few prints with some sporulating caps, harvest just as they are depositing spores.

Decided to harvest a few of them,

Based on the look of this tub, can anyone estimate how much it'll be dry? (dime for scale)

Maybe a half oz dry? It's hard telling really. Who knows. Weight isn't about size, it's about how dense they are, so I'm not sure anybody can accurately tell you this.
I can tell you that 90% weight is water.
