Help identifying any problems
    #26987786 - 10/15/20 11:44 PM (3 years, 3 months ago)

Hello!
First time growing.
Using the Midwest growers kit set up, seemed to go alright the first flush but I noticed they would open up pretty early and weren’t that big.
I have decided to leave the top off of the container most of the time, and have stopped using the air pump and have a fan that turns on 4 times a day to cycle air.. it’s in a closet.
Hmm what else to tell ya, the perlite is pretty wet and the whole thing is sitting on an electric heater.
The mushroom pictured was on the very bottom of a cake and started getting really black yesterday, so I picked it tonight..
I feel like maybe the water dripping off the top of the container due to condensation maybe is making it look weird?
I also didn’t handle them very good when dunking after the first flush, I put them in bags of distilled water for 2 days.
The additional pictures are the set up, the cake in the middle is the one the problem mush was taken off of.

Any help on if I have any issues of contaminant to deal with I reall appreciate, other than that.. how should I go about making changes so that I can propogate a lot more mush with this set up? I’m down to change anything, I’ve read a little about bags.

Thank you for being here to ask! I really appreciate you for reading this. :smile:

There you go... That's the only pic in your gallery so I'm not sure what you've done with the other pics referenced in the post...

So there's a few things wrong here:

First: did you roll your cakes in perlite?

Second: what's your humidity reading there? If you have the lid fully off and a fan on multiple times a day, your cakes aren't really benefiting from that layer of perlite as it's basically just making your entire closet a little more humid, rather than the environment around the cakes...

Your setup doesn't look like the tried and true PFTek though: did you follow a guide or wing it?

You've got some fruits there though so... not so bad :smile:

For your next grow, I'd ditch the makeshift humidity chamber setup and do some brf to bulk shoeboxes. Or go whole hog and start agar to grain with a clone of your best fruit... Depends on how comfortable you are with what you're doing and how good your sterile procedure is.
