My first monotub / McKennaii
#26465592 - 02/02/20 04:30 PM (3 years, 11 months ago) |

I now there are a lot of stories about McKennaii but this apparenty should be McKennaii by Fresh Mushrooms..I used the fully colonized 1200ml cake and mixed with coir and verm with ratio 1.2/2/1
This is 8 days since spawning on Pasty Ez style 22qt mini monotub and yeah my first monotube in life  Temp is constantly on 74-75 and I have CFL 6500K
Anyway I want to ask you few things..
1. What do you know about McKennaii? I heard that probably is just fake name but also I heard that its PE version in normal cube look apparently they are stronger than most other cubes because of that. 2. Had anyone tried to grow and do you have some expirience with this particular cube? 3. Do i see primordias here on those pics?

1. Haven't heard of that and I doubt the potency is sonsistently at a PE level. That's hard to achieve with any other cubensis, especially if growing from multispore.
2. Never tried it but let us know how they treat you.
3. Yes, looks like knots are just beginning to form.

How did you make holes for the 22qt? I only saw Pasty explain the drill holes for the regular sized monotubs.

McKennaii is one of those names, sellers give their cubes to make them appear more fancy. I've seen this on grow kits from Amsterdam a lot. They have like 4.5 of 5 Stars (for comparation Golden Teachers have 4 of 5 or so).
The guy in the shop told me, that they where the "best of the best you can get", back when I took my first shrooms. They're just full of crap. This is just a marketing gag, telling people that this variety is more potent than that one. It's a normal cube variety, like Golden Teachers or Ecuadorian.
I bought one of the kits and cloned some fruit from them. They had pretty good genetics. Nice dense flushes (and that on my first mono following the TEKs) so yeah... 
I'd suggest you stick around a little bit. Read a lot and then you'll know better what to think about this stuff.
Great that you already started your first mono. I wish you good luck and welcome to the hobby

Acctually I have already tried them with my last ordered box few times in diffrent doses..Last time that acctually really surprised me how insane potent the are were 5g fresh lemon tek and even on that low dosage I had insanely strong visuals for that dosage and then i tought that mith about comparing them with PE might be true since i have over 100 expiriences with acid at dosages 100-1800ug and arround 15 with mushrooms on dosages 0.2-3.5g
Well i made all holes but i keep MP tape on short sides bottom amd top mid hole and on long sides in the middle 2layer MP on each ______________
Thank you Prietenul, acctually Im reading this forum for a long time by now but we all need help sometimes^^ ________________
And no its not contamination acctually, since i used very fine verm i noticed its the verm dust and its all over the tub acctually, I tought the same at first

All right then. Maybe mix that sub better next time, so you don't have that verm dust on top. But to be honest, I don't think it matters much.
It depends on many factors on when to expect harvest. Genetics, fruiting conditions, etc. You can orient yourself on the TEKs that you use.
Just be patient, and especially don't open the tub too often. I really had to hold myself back with my first monos...just so tempting. Even today I catched myself looking at the petris like 5 times a day to see if it has grown a little bit.

I will definitly try haha i also think i t doesnt matter but i noticed that myc is not growing over that dust
Well i need to be patient, they have learned me that by now I open maybe twice a day to give them fresh air and to lightly mist

Day 13
As far as I can tell i guess that preordered box was made from MS (I guess? o.O) Anyway I noticed that most of the pins are on sides and not very much in the middle so I added small pc fan to blow indirectly to the box and i will mist when i see that surface doesnt have small drops from misting to try to trigger pins in the middle
Also I am probably just impatient since its my first monotub and I am still learning how to dial in properly

Love you all guys, without your posts and threads this wouldnt be possible ❤

Looks like the middle is drying out. I would say skip the fan and move to just misting over the sub.

Day 16 And we have first fruits ready to harvest I am planning to take spores and harvest the ready ones 
Okey man, I'll stop fanning, Btw I am getting new pins literally every day
Anyway what var.of cubensis is this? Apparently McKennaii but since it was first introduced by online vendor it's probably something else so If anyone can tell me what have I grown I would really appreciate it ❤

I know there is nothing wrong with that but I wanted to take prints haha
Btw Is there some "damage" If spores drop on surface? I heard that on that place it wont grow again, but also I heard that it doesnt matter

Day 18
I finally harvested them and took 3 very nice and fat prints, also i have let small pins and few aborts(?) and also I did heavy mist.
Unfortunatly spores are all over the place, I tried to wipe them with paper towel but with no luci..Will those dropped spores make troubles or I am okey?
Also any advice how to improve yield? Its MS in question so I'm not sure acctually.
Edit: They also bruise green If anything matters 
235g Fresh

Thanks everyone ❤

I need help guys..after a harvest of mature ones I have left pins to continue their growth but after 2 days progress is literally minimal..
After harvest I did heavy mist (I tought that dunking is not needed since most of you guys say that dunking is not needed after first flush and since I was lightly misting every day since spawning when I saw that surface evaporated)
I've read that it may be because of the bacteria but I hope thats not the case..
Should I dunk the mono? Is lack of water causing this?
** I used only 1qt of spawn and 2.5qt of sub + 0.5qt casing layer
__________________ Also I made lemon tea with 100g of fresh mushrooms and 2 of my friends and I have tried it..I haven't had much visuals but it was intense as hell but they both had crazy and intense shiftings from trio to trip and alot of visions during the peak so I would say they were pretty strong, but maybe it's only because of lemon..idk but they were good haha

So in my experience most tubs will have alot of pins that abort or do not continue to grow after the initial first flush. Just remove them and dunk or no dunk depending on how the sub feels. If it is light like the coir brick you started with give it a good dunk. I don't think the aborts are from contamination, usually it's because of genetics and MS inoculation.

Soo I dunked my mono 2 days ago, I had some pins with nice light colored caps and probably some aborts but now..2 days later everything is still stalled..
Can anyone tell me why and how do I fix that?
Also should I pick all those stalled pins?

Uhh, because that looks like mud. Way too wet. Open that tub up and hope you didn't drown the mycelium lol.

To be honest, when I dunked I sprayed for 3 days but when noticed that sub is too wet I stopped until it went dry then I misted again and yeah I misted before taking a pic that's why it looks wet, also I have noticed that on spot where spores dropped look more wet than coir spots when I lightly mist.
But thanks, I will stop misting and give them more FAE..but when I give them more FAE i lose RH too much and I dont know why because while first flush was ongoing everything was okey with that hole settings
