Golden Teacher Inconsisten Growth - Is This Normal? * 1
    #26598909 - 04/13/20 07:56 PM (3 years, 9 months ago)

Okay, so there have been a great many people helping me with my very first grow. Two months ago, I knew absolutely nothing, and I mean nothing, about growing shrooms. So far, I have had some success, and I want to see if something is very wrong with my Golden Teacher cakes or if this is normal.

I purchased the GT syringe from a site sponsor. In fact, probably the most highly recommended sponsor, without naming names. They sent me a free syringe with my order, so it was kind of like a BOGO. The second MS syringe was Costa Rico.

Now the Costa Rico, as you can see in my pics, has pretty much been very, very cosistant, with only one slowpoke, which was probably due to the fact that there is a lot of bruising on the cakes. I planted 13 Costa Rico cakes and 11 Golden Teacher cakes into my two SGFCs.


So...pics 1 through 3 are mostly for the three cakes on the extreme left. They are 3 Golden Teacher cakes birthed on 03/31 and put into the SGFC after dunk & roll. Notice that the cake in the center of that row has ONE huge shroom, and almost nothing else, save for a couple of micro pins. Also, see pic 2 for a closeup. Why is that cake growing one, big shroom. Moreover, the cake in the front of that row had its own big, stubby shroom, which I picked and ate Saturday, two days ago. See pic 4. Notice it had NOTHING growing from it two days ago, and still doesn't.

Pics 5 through 7 are my second terrarium, all with Golden Teacher cakes. My primary concerns here are the two I circled. The other 6 were dunked, rolled, and put into the SGFC on 04/4 and 04/8, respectively, so I am not expecting much from those 6 just yet. But notice how the one on the bottom of the circled cake is zooming, while the other one has this stubby knot and not much more, other than a handfull of micro-pins?

Is this normal? Or is something laughably wrong with the GT cakes?

Also, if you look at pic #1, it kind of illustrates how consistent the Costa Rico cakes have been, The three that are fruiting now were the last three CR cakes put in there, so they are consistent with the rest of the CR cakes. I also finished my first flush on 9 CR cakes, as also shown in that pic.

Normal for a spore grow. Cloning will improve performance.

By the way, love the name! lol So you think those slow cakes are looking all right then?

Yeah, the guys over in my thread [here] are really taking me to task about prints for future grows, at least in part for this reason. I have been resistant to it thus far, because I am not an aspiring mycologist, just some guy from Brooklyn who wanted some shrooms and didn't want to try copping in my area, since they are really hard to find here. Even with this Golden Teacher weirdness, so far, I'm getting great results, at least for a total n00b lol. My initial harvest via my first flush so far, yielded about 290 grams of fresh, which I at about 22 grams on Saturday just past. The rest reduced to a little under an ounce (26.4 grams) of dried, after 26 hours in the food dehydrator. Plus I have about 125 grams of fresh I picked this morning and put in the fridge for now. I have no clue what all 24 of these cakes will yield when all flushes are said and done, but I have the feeling it will be substantial.

To your advice, I think that if and when I do a second grow, I will really have to bite the bullet and do some sort of cloning on one or more of my later samples in the coming week for both my CR and my GT yields.

It just looks so friggin' involved! lol

MS (Multispore) genetics is random hence all the random sized fruits being produced.

Also, easy up on the misting. You're misting your fruits too much. Try to avoid misting fruits directly. Let the perlite do the humidity work instead.

Will do! This has been an incredible learning experience, I have to be honest. So I mist the cakes, and the perlite, even the sides of the tubs, but not the fruits directly. Thanks!
