Small but dense mushrooms
    #26645560 - 05/03/20 09:19 AM (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ok so I’ve been doing this for awhile now I know what your not and what your supposed to do I check for surface moisture daily make sure it has proper FAE and my substrate is good because I am growing other trays next to these mono tubs in my tent setup and there doing fine but I have these two mono tubs that are producing small dense mushrooms in clusters and all have these cracks or nipples on the caps. The left mono started producing these first
The caps that are the lightest the veil had already broken. Here are mush from both tubs.
Two different strains two different monos different substrates same problem

I had just bought this shop light and this is the first time I have used it on these monos and I am under the belief (since I have other mono around these going fine) that that light is the only thing they share in common and that that light has to be the issue. It has two 6500k bulbs and sits on top of both mono tubs.

I've had this issue before. It could be several things. I feel genetics wouldn't be one of them, both happening on different strains. Substrate over field capacity could one. What tek are you using for that holy mono?

See I though genetics too until the one beside it started doing the same thing, it a little different because the one on the left the fruits have small cracks or holes in the center of the cap where the other have nipples instead in the center. I’ve don’t a lot of different teks and kinda just came up with my own thing because I found what works for me. And I’ve used these monos before the same way with no problem. The subs are different in both monos. One is coir/verm/ gypsum/ small bit of manure/ tiny pinch calcium carbonate and the second I wanted to try out black kow/coir/verm/little gypsum/tiny pinch calcium carbonate and this mixture has always worked fine and is working for other projects I have going(except this is the first time I’ve tried the BK one). The only this they have in common is that big ass shop light. Can they have too much light? I’ve been using a 12/12 light cycle by the way.im thinking maybe that light is just too much maybe.

The cracks are from not enough humidity/ light too close. When I've ran my light that close and its LED I end up with a strip of dry Substrate thru the middle. Try and run your light higher.

What kinds are they??

I had this happen one of my early grows, i had made the sub pretty dry too.



I kind of think it might be something bacteria related cuz this grow had a different sort of spicy smell to it.


They also took a long time to mature and were real potent.
