Grow Kit Jerk (pictures)
    #25950766 - 04/23/19 11:58 AM (5 years, 8 months ago)

Hey all, I'm another Grow Kit newb who hasn't done my proper research - feel like a right jerk now, sorry. I promise to get up to speed ASAP but in the meantime hoping people can look at these pictures and just give me a quick opinion.
I ordered one of these on a whim (the online instructions seemed simple I thought why not) - after a week and a half with it the pictures show where it's at, I was honestly surprised it even worked but now I'm concerned there's mould. I've just spent the past few hours reading various reddit posts and ended up here for the past hour or so reading as much as possible as quickly as possible, but I'm still unsure whether I should just chuck this or what. I haven't been misting (except at the beginning) or airing it but will start from now if it's salvageable. The biggest ones started growing on the top and after a while I noticed the load stuck on the bottom and sides so I took the cake out and put it on it's side in a pyrex dish (with gloves on). Now all the white stuff has started which as I understand it should be okay but the darker patches in it maybe don't look so good. Any help much appreciated. Next time I attempt this I'll give it a lot more time and effort.
Thanks
L

That white fuzz on the bottom of the shrooms is fuzzy feet, basically caused by lack of fresh air exchange. I get it with my shoe boxes sometimes because I don't dial them in 100% as they are pretty much set and forget haha. No worries on that, does not hurt potency or anything.

The splitting on the heads is probably caused by being too dry/lack of humidity. Could use a light misting but don't mist the actual fruits spray like above and let it gently fall down on it.

As a side note, even if it does contam out, those shrooms are safe to eat and trip balls off of as long as there is no actual mold growing on the shroom itself. Usually I give em a light rinse after harvest if my sub shows any sign of contam, but I have never read of anyone else rinsing their harvest. Guess I just took that from when I used to harvest strawberries from the fields

Looks to me like that discoloration is probably bruising of the substrate, I get that when I over-handle mine. However it could potentially be contam, can't really tell from the pictures and I am sure someone with much more experience than me will chime in soon with more advice. The people here are all pretty knowledgeable and awesome :smile:

One last thing, read through the teks on the main page. Tons of good info there if you are going to move away from grow-kits

Oh nice one, that's reassuring to hear. I'll definitely be keeping a closer eye on them from now and making sure I follow the air/misting steps.. so glad I found this board, you've just made my day a whole lot better, thank you thank you!
And yeah lookin forward to digging into this further - always thought it was some secret dark art. Could see myself becoming quite the triphead in the near future... :stoned:

No problem man, it seems like a lot at first but once you get the basics down you will realize how easy it is.
