My first grow!
    #27025479 - 11/06/20 05:58 PM (3 years, 2 months ago)

What's up everyone! New poster here and wanted to share my first grow with you guys and get any input/feedback ("fuck yea's" are also welcome).

The strain is APE and it has been a LONG TIME COMING. These guys took about a month 1/2 to inoculate the grains, and another week and a half to colonize the substrate. They were just put into fruiting conditions today

For lack of experience I can't comment too much on the substrate condition etc, but congratulations on the successful colonisation and props on going straight to substrate for your first grow and getting through without any contamination.

Good luck with fruiting.

FYI I believe UV lights aren't much good for shrooms....if thats what the purple light is? Better to go for a bright white in the 6500k range.

The purple lights are actually from the weed grow next to it, I barely have the door open :laugh:

I have been thinking about moving into a grow tent with a light but unsure of the specs required. I'll start looking at 6500k ranges!

Love it! Did you get the bags/grain from an online vendor or did you prep them yourself?

The bags are from a Colorado company called Monster Mushrooms, I have 2 other bags inoculating right now with no issues so they seem to be legit :mushroom2:

Ah gotcha, I might give them a shot, the time saved in the prep might be worth it. I’ve gotten bags from two different vendors in the past. The first time I got no mycelial growth and the most recent bags I got are colonizing but it took something like 10 more days to see any growth than in the jars I made myself and are still colonizing significantly slower comparatively as well.

I've never tried making my own grains but have seen some videos and IMO it's easier to buy the bags if you can afford them. The self healing inoculation ports can be really useful, or you can just cut off the top and throw some agar in there, then rubber band it up.

I agree that premade bags are easier and I have had success with them, but in my opinion, if you're doing any kind of bulk they are not feasible and making grains is not difficult if you have a pressure cooker. Also, if a bag gets contaminated you lose the whole thing but if a jar or two gets contam you still have five or six to work with.

I missed this part! I am not doing any sort of bulk grow here, this is just for me and my girl, so I'm only speaking in terms of noobie/small grows
