First attempt

So been a lurker here forever and an avid psychonaut. Have an extremely hard time finding anything around where i live, even harder to find quality. After reading up here for awhile figured why not try it myself right?
Started by browsing the sponsors and went with ***** and a small kit from *****. Baby steps getting my feet wet with some bag grows and cubes. Due to a little error with **** they tossed in a free syringe of Maz.
So the set up is just 2 bags, 1 lb rye berries then mixed with bulk sub and cased. Tucked away in a closet with 6500K light. Fanned 3-4 times a day, mist 1-2 times every other day.
Took about a little over a month total before seeing first pins and was like Christmas came early. Picked first few cubes that seemed to mature faster then the rest. Nothing mind blowing compared to most here, but im extremely happy and proud of the feat.
Thanks for all the info and amazing community for discussion and knowledge!

Welcome to the shroomery mate. Nice fruits. Looking skinny tho so they look like they lacked FAE. I'm assuming this is because the kit was in a bag
Oh and please read the rules https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/14960167 Absolutely no vendors are allowed to be talked about here in cult. So please edit them out of your post.
You should get working on doing the teks now with the new spores

Whoops my bad, edited out sponsors
Yeah im currently doing everything in bag. Figure first time keep it basic and simple.
Bags each have filter patch, and i try to open and fan every 4-5 hours. They did seems rather skinny but im just stoked i managed to get fruits so far and no contams lol
Besides aiming a small fan at the fliters, anything else i can do to promote FAE?

I'd take a pen and stab a bunch of holes in the bag, and turn the fan off. That's what I'd do if I had a kit..
Or even better, design a SGFC, gunna need one for cakes anyways.

Make sure that closet gets a lot of fresh air cause if you spend any time in there you are going to concentrate contaminates in there!

I assume you mean spend time in the room? No, its a spare bedroom used for this purpose only. Anytime i go in i scrub exposed skin and wear clean clothes. Its a walk in closet with door open.

Anytime I go in my room I just walk in. Open the lids, look up close at the substrates, sometimes cough on them, and then go back out. Before I had cats I'd leave the doors open too.

These are the bags, as you can see i didnt wrap anything around them to block light. Side pinning got me pretty good.
So ill stop the fan, sterilize a knife and slit some holes in the bag to add FAE

Haha I would be lying if I said I didn't start like that. I'd fuckin turn my head and breath away. Held my breath and shit. That was uncomfortable AF xD. Now I don't give a fuck. Also you have side pinning because the surface is less ideal. I'm guessing it's because they don't have enough FAE, I always see side pinning when my Fae is shit. I'd love to figure out why lol, also you have to keep the surface glistening through direct misting. It's a fine art that takes time to develop, but eventually you should see absolutely no side pins, even if you expose shit to light/no liners.

wow man thats impressive! lol yeah no shit i noticed i also tried limiting my breathing when opening the bags to fan and mist.
I did fan and mist just before jumping back on here. I skipped a few days misting due to accumulation of water along the sides i had to pour a few drops out. Between here and a few other sites i read everyone suggest different approaches. Most tell you not to spray direct or at all one pinning happens :/

Lmao I've also kinda given up on being sterile in my fruiting room i fig they fruit outside with contams everywhere its just when I have uncolonized exposed substrate that i start to get a lil obsessive

That was true back in the days when people choked FAE. The water wouldn't evaporate off the pins and they'd all go to shit. Nowadays tho using the teks which are designed for max FAE (not just humidity), spray away my friend.

Oh man, you guys are making me laugh. 
My cat was trying to get into my monotub the other day. I left for a minute while harvesting and he snuck in there. He's fucking obsessed over that room.

That is awesome man! A good trip between people or people and animals can really form a whole new bond.
When I was in school we watched a few documentaries on the government testing Lucy on animals and always gave off a weird vibe. Nothing like what your cat looks like in your pics
