First Harvest of all time ! (...did it fail ?) * 1
    #26529573 - 03/11/20 05:57 PM (3 years, 11 months ago)

Hey ! First time here posting :blush:

Thanks to the community for the wealth of knowledge, I learned it all here !
(shout out to Bod's Easy AF TEKs !)

So this is my first flush (!), Rye berries on Coco Coir, and for sure I waited way too long for harvest...

Can I eat the black looking mushrooms ?

Anything you see that looks super suspicious ?

I put everything in the dehydrator now, just separating the darkers ones.

ANY comment from you experienced people is super welcome !
I am here to learn :smile:

Those mushrooms are black because they're covered in spores from the mushrooms above and around them that sporulated on them.

This is a normal part and end of the mushroom growth cycle.

Mushroom spores are safe to eat, and they will not hurt the mushrooms they land on.

To avoid the black colored caps in the future, harvest the mushrooms after the veil has broke between the cap and the stipe.

It's just a matter of appearance. Don't overthink it

Touch the black part of one of the mushrooms with your finger. The spores will wipe off on your finger. See?

Lol I’m sure he got the black fingers during harvest. Last time I had to scrape spores out from my nails.

That’s an awesome first grow, what kind??

Such a great feeling picking those first mushrooms.

Oh thanks for the encouragements !

Feels great to know I don't have to discard the dark ones, and that it is a decent first grow :smile:

Thanks for the detailed answer magicschoolbus :smile:

You mean the strain ? It is Malabar

I have two smaller tubs of Puerto Rico that I did G2G with before, and are growing beautifully.

Edit your post and remove the name of the vendor. It’s a forum rule, and vendor spores are for microscopy ONLY.

Great first grow, spores aren’t harmful unless you let them sit on coir too long in a dirty area.

Your next mission should be learning to work cleanly with agar. Luckily your project worked out with sports to grain but a flush like that with multispore is rare. Thankfully you seem to have conditions dialed to get a solid flush even from MS, but cloning from a cluster and using that rather than spore syringes is the way to go.

Also the strain is cubensis. The names on the website aren’t strain names, they’re variety names. Read up and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

Nice I thought they might be Malabar, I just finished doing a ton of work with them they have a unique color and shape.

lol the pictures on vendor sights are such bullshit. I was so stoked at first to grow Malabar cuz they show them as all being tall with perfect flat caps with veils attached.

@ jbgtaa:
Sorry about that !! I deleted the vendor from my last post.

... And of course I only used the spore for my microscope :smile:

Definitely my next step is Agar, and I want to also do LC.

Then I'll be ready to optimise, and grow many tubs and variety at once :P

Thanks everyone !

Lots of people use LC and it’s great, but it is a contam vector. In the sense that it’s far easier to introduce contaminants and spread them in such a manner. Agar wedges are easier to work cleanly with and should be your focus for your next project. Lots of people successfully use LC though!!

Thanks for the advice !

I really wanna try both, and definitely will try Agar.

With LC the problem that I have is that I don't have a Flowhood (just using a good old oil lamp);
and I don't seem to understand yet how to visually check if there is a problem...

I want to try the syringe method where you get a tiny spec from the mushroom flesh, and dump it on the LC via the injection port.

I have been lucky with contam so far, and I want to keep it this way ! :smile:

Great looking first grow man! nice job. Enjoy the fruits of your labor (that line never gets old for me in mush cult :smile: )

AtmozFear- maybe don't quote a post that contains info that should not be posted?..... OP can't delete your quote.

For me I get so excited everytime, especially when hunting in the wild which I don't recommend. Anyway, to the OP that is a fantastic grow period, not just because it's your first. You're a natural kid, keep it up!!!

Thanks again to all the encouragements !

The final yield got to 2.5oz :grin:

How can I optimize from that, any advice ?

I know I have to go from multispore to clone, but aside from that ?!
