First time growing , need help! * 1
    #25020039 - 02/25/18 04:49 AM (6 years, 10 months ago)

Hi guys, im growing Psilocybe Cubensis ,,Amazonas,, first time , im doing it by PF TEK  method, now im in stage when i have my cake in aquarium and the mushrooms are growing, the cake didnt have pins for long time so i used the shock method in fridge for night, then i put the cake into the aquarium and pins started to show and later the mushrooms from them , now i have a problem that i quite dont know when to harvest them up  if are they ok or in which stadium they are or how much light they need. Im trying to have temperature between  21-24 C all the time in room and also im chaning the oxygen every day and refil water if needed. any advice is welcome.

Harvest right when the veil beneath the cap breaks. If you want to take spore prints let the caps open a little.

Also those mushrooms are not getting enough fresh air, that's why it looks all fuzzy, and the ones on the bottom are saturated with water put them on a square of foil or something.

Ty for advice, i have plastic cover over the aquarium r and there is not getting air in or little air into it, im just refreshing the air once per day with newspaper wawing, so should i uncover it more or just do the waving more often per day? and one more question, that big one he should be that big and so white? and the small one https://ibb.co/eNDT3H on this picture the one who is on North of the cake he didint grow for like 2weeks, what shoudl i do about him?

The reason they look kind of weird is because of the two things I mentioned fresh air and water saturation.

Is that water on the bottom being changed out frequently? Standing water is a breeding ground for bacteria which can also make your shrooms grow weird.

Since you only have an aquarium I'd say your best option is to fan it multiple times a day. Once isn't enough. They need constant fresh air coming in which is why we usually fruit in plastic tubs that we drill holes in.

You could try cracking the lid off center just a bit. Kinda rotate it clockwise so that there is just an inch of open space on each side. That might get you some better air flow.

Because the cakes have been sitting in that standing water I would not expect much more from them.

Notice how the fuz  on the big shrooms is really fluffy white? That's from fresh air problems.

Notice how the fuz on the little bottom shrooms is scraggly? That's from over saturation.

Whoa, thats wild. Never seen that much mycelium around a shroom before. Looks like snow cover!

Best thing to do is build a proper SGFC. They give all the fresh air exchange u need. Pumps are outdated and not used anymore as the FAE is not high enough for shrooms.

Ty pity that i didnt come here sooner, i changed the water completly,i put paper foil under the cake, i dont have glas lit on that aquarium , i used plastic foil like you use to pack food in, so i make a new one and let some space for air there, the old little mushroom that was dried fall down should i keep him or throw him out? and i noticed that on the botom of cake there is a mushroom growing too:D , so the big one is done or can it stil be safed by time or its better just to harvest him, or all of them and just hope for better next flush? 2/3 small ones at the botoom look quite ok tho

you need to stop everything... and read all you can about fruiting, since it seems you managed to colonize a cake (cakes?) well.
The one you are using can not be "fixed". Period!! you need something that ventilates constantly.  There is so much info on this site alone.  Spend the 14$ itll cost for the materials and do it the right way!
