First grow!! Need help figuring out if i am doing okay
    #26915058 - 09/03/20 07:19 AM (3 years, 5 months ago)

Hey Everyone,
I started my first ever grow on august 11th for GT i got. I used a presterilized grain bag. Used a glove box and all. Sprayed with sanitizer every 3-4 days. Made sure spores clumps were evenly distributed in the LC by shaking well. I feel i made a mistake though for 3lbs of grain bag i used only 1.5-2 cc LC. temperature during this process has been 72-80 F and humidity 40-45 percent.
I didnt notice anything for the first 8-9 days. Then i started noticing whitish fungus growing outwards. I waited for 5 days and kept breaking it expected really white thick growth. After breaking i notices it vastly increased the speed of growth after 2 weeks or so.
i am now at 3 weeks and am not sure if this is what is should look like. It doesnt as white and dense as the pics i see online. However i am not sure if this is due to epigenetic factors or simply a contaminant which i feel i dont know about. I have ruled out the following possibilities:
1. cobweb mould. i feel i am at low humidity.
2. trich. no green coloration.
3. black mould.
4, other patchy mould. The fungus seems evenly distributed pretty much.

Feel free to look at the pictures and suggest other troubleshooting methods i can do. Even if you think i will fail i want to know what i can do right the next time.

Alright (cracking fingers to get ready). Well I would not buy presterilized grain. Do it at home. Secondly you should inoculate the grain bag with your syringe then wait until approximately 30% colonization. At this point gently break up the spawn by massaging the bag. Your goal is to get the colonized grains distributed throughout the rest of the grain. This is referred to as a "shake" in jar terms. Then let your spawn bag finish colonizing without shaking it anymore. Your temp is fine and humidity is whatever for spawn.

Also, very few people are going to be able to help beyond this without pictures. Even fewer people are willing to click on your links so post the pics to shroomery. Make it easier on the community to help you, and you will be more fortunate.

Sharp

Thanks for the feedback, i did realize i made the mistake of not waiting till about 30 percent. Added the pictures.

You gotta get rid of the name of the place you got the spores first.

Otherwise it actually looks ok, that bright area seems to be a little thick from bacteria but it’s not too bad.

I used four syringes from the same place and they were all super clean so it’s probably the grain causing the bacterial problems.


You got some of the lingo confused but that’s alright there’s a ton of info to take in at first. I would drop the temperature down to the low 70s and there’s no need to be spraying sanitizer or worrying about humidity. The bag should be a self contained climate.

I’d say its ready to spawn or fruit depending what the plan is.

Also cut the gloves off your box so it’s just open arm holes. It doesn’t matter for what you’re doing but if you get into agar and stuff like that it will.

Thanks really appreciate it,
I was actually under the impression that the thick part maybe the best of the entire stuff.
