First Time Grow Success (pics) * 1
    #23875431 - 11/28/16 03:05 PM (8 years, 1 month ago)

Pretty stoked to have my first successful grow here! I figured I would share with anyone who's interested and hopefully get some feedback as this certainly won't be my last grow, nor is this one completely finished.

To be honest this grow is nothing special in the grand scheme of things, but I am pretty proud to have had any success at all as well as manage to birth and fruit some cakes that haven't been ravaged by contams or anything.

Here's the full SGFC right before the first harvest.


Close up of the first flush on the cake that was ready to harvest.


And the most impressive guy in the first flush.


Total harvested so far has been 69g wet with more on the way.  The cake depicted was 39g wet and is a Golden Teach MS.  The second harvest of 30g wet was of the cake on the top, which is a B+ MS and was harvest one day after the GT.

So I actually started with about eight cakes total, but landed a big project for work and had to go out of town for about six weeks.  Luckily my jars had fully colonized and consolidated so I just left them in my fridge.  When I got back a couple of the jars had some minor/moderate bruising, where as about three of them had very severe bruising.  The bruising was so severe that there were spots that were indistinguishable from a black mold.  I'm almost certain it was a mold as it had ravaged those cakes and in some spots did have that cotton fibrous appearance. Unfortunately I did not get any pictures of these jars before I tossed them. It being my first grow and all I just didn't want to risk it.  Is it common for contams to appear in the refrigerator over a longer amount of time like this or does anyone think I may have thrown away salvageable cakes?

Second, area of interest is the two cakes on the left, which as you can see, have like one or two pins at the most.  The cake middle right has also been very slow, but has been starting to pick up and grow at least a few very healthy mushrooms in the last couple of days. The cakes on the left however, have hardly shown any signs of pinning, but don't appear to be too unhealthy or have a lot of bacteria or anything. Could these cakes be stalled because they were in the fridge or possibly just unhealthy for another reason?

I have been lightly misting about two to three times a day, basically just when I'm home and can check on them or when I can see that the water on the cakes has completely evaporated. I let the box dry out pretty good before taking these pics.  The FC is in my closet off the ground and pulled away from the walls.  The door is left cracked open all day and i don't think FAE is an issue as there is very low condensation and what seems like a good rate of evaporation after misting. The box is however in a spot where much of the closet light is blocked, but not so much that any of the cakes are not visible with the naked eye.

Well that's about it, I know, nothing spectacular.  I probably won't make another grow post until I have something more impressive to share, but I figured it couldn't hurt to try and get some feedback.  That said, please leave any feedback or advice you may have and if not no worries, I will definitely be doing more research on my own. :takingnotes:

Happy growing & happy trippin!! :peace:

Looks great did you dunk and roll and if so how long did you dunk them?  12 hours to start and after each flush is a good ideal.

Best of luck buddy your doing great.

To start I dunked for about 24 hours and then rolled.  After first flush I redunked, along with the two cakes that weren't pinning, for another 24 hours.
