Help! I'm an idiot.
    #24919451 - 01/16/18 09:10 PM (7 years, 1 day ago)

So, the first idiotic thing I did was buy a kit and waste $.
I colonized seven jars and am close to my first flush with the kit and...then I found shroomery and learned that I'm using an outdated method. So long story short, I won't be doing it again, but because I had it I figured what the hell and decided to give it a try. Anyway, I followed the directions but it looks like I've done something wrong from the pics. The mushroom caps turn black once they reach a certain size (inch) and the stem is covered in mycelium, which it seems is common.



With this kit, I have a timer set to pump in air 4 times a day, and other than checking on them twice a day, the lid is closed and RH is at 99%.

The two cakes on the bottom of the pic produced their first flush before the others and I got 5g dry from the two combined, which it seems is pretty weak? Anyway, I dunked those two for 18hrs then put them back in the FC with the others. I don't know if them still looking this blue has anything to do with how the others are doing?

Anyway, anyone know if it's possible to salvage what these shrooms/cakes? If you're familiar with kits or just familiar with growing, I'd appreciate any help! I'm a certified noob.

And yes, lesson learned the hard way about kits.

I'm a newbie as well.  Black caps=aborts, which I presume means a fruiting attempt that the plant decides to stop.  Supposedly they are more potent and you should harvest them.  Be advised, I have never done a grow, and am only going on what I have read.

those need fresh air exchange. I dont see any holes in your chamber.

A proper SGFC will do you wonders.
