First setup/ grow ever!!!!! Pics (updated grow log)

1/17/20-So I finally got everything I needed two days ago and once I had my Martha setup, On 1/17/20 I noc’d 3 - grain jars w/ ms Burma, 2 spawn bags w/ ms GT, 3 spawn bags w/ PES Amazonian, 3 spawn bags w/ ms B+, 2 spawn bags w/ ms PE 🤞!!! Haven’t decide what tek I’m going with most likely going to try a couple, def trying an unmodded tub or 2 and maybe damiens 50/50 probably a couple shoeboxes too. Took me forever to figure out how to upload a photo Here lol idk why but it was just not letting me, Think I’m finally staring to figure things out here. This is now the pic with my temps and Rh fixed


SORRY FOR ALL UPDATES AT ONCE just decided to log everything for my first time around now! Update: Wow things are moving a lot faster than I expected for my first time, starting from Ms syringes for everything!
1/20/20- I did MS2A just to mess around tbh(had 10 pre made malt agar plates to play with. Did only 2 GT plates and 2 PR plates so I can do a couple transfer of each hopefully.
1/23/20- I saw first signs of colonization on 2 of 3 (Burma)grain jars


1/24/20- 3 of 3 jars are showing signs of colonization. Today 1/26/20 I noticed the first signs of colonization on 2 of the 10 spawn bags noc’d 1/17/20

1/25/20- Finally i’m seeing growth on 2 of the 4 agar plates(1 GT & 1 PE showing growth) And from what my Noob eye can tell it looks clean so far it’s very small yet an the pics are hard to see anything, it’s hard enough to see by eye right now! -Also decided to seal up my SAB gunna let it sit and dry for a day atleast ( needed it ready for Agar transfers sooon)
1/26/20- So I wasn’t expecting this yet, but only 9 days in and I’m already seeing signs of healthy growth in 3 of the 10 spawn bags. 2 of which are B+ and 1 is PE (that surprises me too since I thought it would be the slowest of all)








UPDATE 01/31/20: Just some colonization progress

Idk how to post picture lol hope this time works, this was as soon as I setup everything and I was using my heat source too much instead of as just a buffer!!! Now it’s ave temp is 71-72 and although not too important Rh 65-90

Hello and welcome. 2 things I can see that will help you. 1 - Do not make your own variation of a tek. The sff shoebox tek is a great tek and it works great just like it is. Too many newbs try to improve on an experienced person's work and that just isn't the way to figure things out. It's like saying you already know better than all these people that have been doing it for years
2 - Get that aquarium pump out of there. It has no place in this hobby
If you post some pics of your bags, people will let you know how there doing
Best of luck

By the way that black hose is coming from my fogger setup and will only be used during fruiting as my other heat source keeps my RH perfect already!!!

That air pump goes to my fogger setup for fruiting which I probably won’t need because everything is so efficient. Also I didn’t mean I want to change anything I was kind of saying as far as how many I have setup at once because I think the one tek had 5 colonizing 5 fruiting I will probably be doing more than that because I do agree I will follow whichever tek I choose exactly as it is. Thanks for the reply dude did you recommend a specific tek for bulk?

You dont need a fogger, or a heat source (room temp is best and heat only gives contams the upper hand), and since this is your first grow, I wouldn't assume that your humidity is perfect.
I too thought a bubble was a good idea at first. Things actually got a lot better when I got rid of it. Not trying to be harsh, just trying to prevent mistakes I (and many others) made from being repeated

So your telling me that the temp of 62 with out my heat source is better than 78-79 that it’s at now ???i thought during colonization around 80 is optimal around 70-75 when fruiting also the fogger setup was given to me as I said I doubt I will use it other than at fruiting because I have very little time to access it some days in case it needs misting???

The room really shouldn't be over 72F, it could be less (65-68F) and that would still be fine. You might've read some old teks but anything over 75 isn't recommended. Fungi like it cooler, contams like it warmer
If you use the search function, try screening out older posts as information is always changing and ideas listed in old threads can be very outdated

Warmer will speed things up but like he said is better for bacteria and stuff. Also you’ll get heavier shrooms with cooler temps.
So if you just want some mushrooms ASAP keep it warmer, if you want better mushrooms with better success rates cool it down a little.
They both work but I personally keep mine in the low 60s once the pins come in, and mid 70s before then.

I've thought of trying to keep mine cooler like yours, but what do you do to keep it in the low 60s?

Lol it’s just like 30 at night so it’s easy.
Now during summer idk what I’m gonna do when it’s 110 for two months. Either stick to agar and get tons of clean stuff ready or get a tent.

I see, that wouldn't work where I'm at so I have to go with room temp. Didn't know if you have a small AC unit or something for your area.

Ok thanks a lot guys I appreciate it. This is my first time ever so I would obviously love to get them to fruit as quickly as a possible but not if it means risking everything. I lowered my temps down to low-mid 70s for now, and then I will go down to mid 60s for pinning/fruiting. If taking a little longer means, larger yield, higher potency, etc it’s worth it to me in the end!!!

You can always post this in your Journal and that way it is easy to find and update. Then link it here when your log is complete.
Also agreed Fogger/Airpump is a bad idea for fruiting. Just get a Cool Mist Humidifer.
