First grow...ever.  Does this look ok?  Any constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated.

You should have let the substrate fully colonize before fruiting. You now have a very high probability for contamination to take over before the first flush is over. Though it might pull through and do awesome...

What chu talking about, wyllis?

Lots of people fruit directly after they spawn to bulk

Coir is only going to contam if the spawn is dirty.

I got some coir that was sitting in a bucket for 3 months and it doesn't have a spec of anything on it. I'm going to use it lol

You have wet buckets of coir sitting around your house? Clean your fucking room  :spank:


On a serious note...I am just speaking from my experience. I am aware that people do that...i do not recommend it. The only tubs I have ever go bad before a second flush were when I tried fruiting them to soon. Could just be a coincidence and I had dirty spawn :shrug:

Any comments on the conditions so far? 

I was also wondering about the little pin in the middle of the closer pic with a splitting cap? (is that what you call it?)  Is that a problem?  I noticed a few more are doing that same type of thing.

Next time I will wait until full colonization for sure!

Thanks.

It’s just better practice to allow the mycelium to fully colonize the substrate...coir yes is a lot more forgiving than other subs, however good habits can have their advantages too.

Splitting cap? Is it getting enough moisture?

I've been misting and fanning quite a bit so I'm going to go with mutant blob.  I haven't let it dry completely since I first started seeing knots  and pins.

Should I harvest these mutant blobs?  If not yet, when?  Looks like their caps are opened already.

Thanks,

Harvest whenever you want bud...if the veils have broken and the caps are starting to fold inside out go ahead and cut them out....that’s what I would do at least lol

That is what my buddy who gave me the spawn said...B+.  I guess he could have been wrong.

Interesting.  I will keep this post updated. 

Once it fattens up, how do I know when to harvest the mutants?  Or is there still a veil that breaks even though the gills are already showing?

Thanks a lot!

moisture level look good and everything?  I've been misting and fanning.

If the gills are showing the veils have broken...maybe let them go till they drop spores...maybe? :shrug:

I harvested the mutant blobs with the gills open.  I did see some spores coming off the biggest one, hence the harvest.  Looks like some more mutant blobs to come, I think they are side blobbing as well.  They won't go to waste though.

Sorry Tormato, I somehow didn't see your first post after the pic about the gills showing, didn't mean to ask a q you just answered.

Thanks so much for the help.  I have a couple of "normal" pins going and hope the second flush shows some different results.

Not sure if I should start a new thread or just keep posting on this one as kind of a grow log... 

So I got some short fat weird looking fruits that opened their caps pretty early on and I harvested about 21g dry.  After that first flush I noticed a few fungus gnats on my sub so I dunked it overnight to at least drown the adults for the time being, hopefully I will be able to get a second flush before that gets out of hand.  Here is what I'm looking at now after the dunk...



I also have some jars to show.  I shook these a couple days ago.  May be too early to tell, but I think these may be contaminated.  What do you think?





Any criticism at all is greatly appreciated as always. 

Thank you

Ok so those jars were definitely contaminated, threw them out today. 

The dunk didn't work with the gnats and it seemed like they were breeding in it.  I didn't want to deal with all that so I took the sub outside and buried it...we'll see what happens.

Here is a picture of my new method for keeping the stupid gnats out.  I wish I could just clean my house, but there is an orange tree right outside my front door and they get in no matter what I do.  I just went to Wal-Mart and bought a $5 sheer curtain.  Seems like it should do the job.
