Was your very first Mushroom grow a success or fail?
    #24744216 - 10/28/17 08:24 PM (6 years, 2 months ago)

As I am on my first grow which is looking like it might be failing, I was curious when you were going your very first grow was it a fail? Or success? Or still waiting to find out?

Its also my first grow! Out of 16 cakes i have lost 4. It took forever for 8 of the cakes to pin ( 19 days ) but when they did. They exploded. I had to redo my sgfc 4 days into my grow. I spent like 500 dollars on things i didnt need or had to return because i didnt do my research and read the directions.

I feel like my experience so far has been successful. Even though contaminations have happened and ive had to correct a lot of my mistakes. i see it as a learning experience not as a failure.

Im sorry you feel like your first grow is not going well. Do not let it frustrate or discourage you.

I wish you the best of luck on your future endeavors!

There is no such thing as failure, just unexpected results.

Would you consider 2 grams of aborted pins harvested from 2 flushes of 4 brf cakes a fail? I honestly don't know what went wrong except that maybe i got a shitty draw of genetics with MS my first grow.

Mine was an abject failure, trich in every single jar despite (I thought) being meticulous with sterilisation. The next 2 attempts were no better and I even managed to let my PC run dry. As long as you keep persisting you will eventually see success.

I did a tray and a mono tub as my first grow. Both turned out amazing.

I answered failure, bc I didn't get fruit... but I gained from the experience in learning what too dry was: ended up with only one jar colonizing at all, and it stalled at 30%... research is definitely a must: that was the only time I incubated as well

Fucking 4 fails in a row... 3 times with BRF cakes of all things... would never colonize even 50% (i overcooked them in the PC and made them into blocks of glue)

And WBS failed and wouldn't colonize, i couldn't shake them at all. just stuck together, ended up birthing invitro...

My results were not the best, but I learned a lot and got a few fruits.  What I learned was definitely more rewarding then the few fruits I got though haha.

Why shaking so soon? I  (and pretty common practice) wait until ~20%... this makes spotting early contamination easier bc (assuming you only inoculate one place, towards/on the glass) you should only have one primary source of growth... if you  inoculate the "top left" and 2 days later, notice a spot in the "bottom right", there's a good chance  (very probable in fact) that you're dealing with contamination... g2g can be performed, if the spread is minimal and clean mycelium can be accessed/removed without disturbing said contaminant... large fruit coming your way in bounties!
