One pin normal? * 1
    #27045400 - 11/18/20 11:37 AM (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hello community

I bought my first growbox from zamnesia about 3 weeks ago. First of all, i know that growboxes are overpriced and not the best option to grow mushrooms but i wanted something simple for the start. (Will later go to pf tek). 3 days ago the first pin showed up. But until now no other pins showed up and the one pin only grew a little bit. I read on different sources that after the first pin, it should take more or less 72hours until the mushrooms are ready to harvest.





So my questions: Should i be concerned? Or just wait longer and it'll get good?
And overall: Does my cake look healthy?

Thank you for your answers

That thing looks super dry...
I think at this point you should have seen other pins or growth on that one...
IMO, it’s way better to just start with PF Tek. Obviously there’s no going back now, but I think you’re way better off just starting one right now.
Unfortunately I don’t think that grow kit is gonna do much.
Sorry dude. Doesn’t look great IMO.
Cheers.

You sure? Because water is always condensating and sometimes even gathering in little puddles at the bottom. But okay, its sad but then i`ll ty it with pf tek.

After further inspection I see some water droplets around the edge, but I still say it’s dry in the mid...
Definitely sad but PF Tek is super easy and if you spawn to bulk (also super easy) you can get great harvests.
Cheers!

The pinning surface is matted af from colonizing against the lid. It’s going to take some good conditions and time and luck before that puts out anything significant.

Adding a thin non-nutritious casing layer might help maintain better conditions and jumpstart your growth. I had a bunch of trays dry out a long time ago and the surface matted over similar to that, and just adding a casing layer of peat moss and vermiculite and waiting a few more days made them start producing like crazy

I definitely wouldn't give up on it. Do what day tripper said and see what happens.

Ok thank you, i'll try it. So just add a little bit of water to the mixture with peatmoss and vermiculite right? And then spread a thin layer over the cake?

Yes, make a mixture, 1:1 ratio, of peat and verm and add water until it reaches field capacity (it holds its shape in your hand without dripping water but a firm squeeze will cause some to drip and a hard squeeze will cause a slight trickle). Then just spread it over the top about 1/4” thick and put it back into fruiting and just wait awhile. If you have the means to pasteurize it that’d be safer but you’ll likely be fine without. Let us know how it goes
