the water tub is sick. i don’t do cakes but i probably woulda been more apt to try that than a SGFC & a fuck ton of perlite lol. tbh i would probably just top fruit bacterial cakes with a ziplock on top before birthing them but yeah you’re right it would be much better to not break them up if they were unhealthy

About to harvest these today & try a 4hr dunk for a second flush. Although I'm happy to have gotten anything on my first grow, I'm thinking it should have been better. As you can see in the pics I had a few nice ones but most seem to be on the small side. Split stems, thin fruits, maybe a little too much moisture, genetics, idk. We'll see what the second flush produces. These pics were taken around 4am this morning so they have filled out a bit more since then. I read sometimes a second flush produces more so we'll see. Any comments/suggestions are appreciated.

Got 360g wet from 2 shoeboxes. I wouldn't call it a success, was hoping for 500-600,but for my very first grow I don't consider it a failure either.

Mate you have had SOLID results, why so disappointed? This is a reasonable first flush in my opinion, I'd be stoked.

I know what it is! I've been looking at all these killer ass grows on here & I guess my expectations were a little high. That all comes with experience and the occasional luck though. Overall I am happy with it. Still might get more with a 2nd flush, 1 more shoebox on its 4th day & 9 BRF cakes in a water tub that are starting to pin so it's all good.

Grab a good clone from a nice cluster and run it again. That is a nice flush though.

Was that 6 cakes split in 2 shoeboxes? That should come out to more than 5 grams dry per cake. Nothing wrong with that. Good job.

I do have some Agar I made using pastywhites tek & that's what I had planned on doing. Got my eye on the fat one toward the back left in the top pic. Yes, TheTao 3 pint cakes to each shoebox.

Looks like you did GREAT for your first run. Just get a clone from the biggest shroom from the biggest cluster and run it again. Wait til you eat some, you'll forget all about the numbers, even though you did great.

Just a final update to close my first shroom grow thread. Started with 18 pint BRF cakes inoculated with a golden teacher MSS. Shredded 9 to shoeboxes(3 per box) & fruited the other 9 in a water tub. Ended up with 65g cracker dried shrooms total. Shit I couldn't be more happy. Thanks to all the awesome tek's member's posted on this site that I used. I haven't tried shrooms in 30 yrs so my tolerance is probably low but I did grind up some in a coffee grinder and used the lemon tea tek with 1g dried. Potency ain't bad at all. I think 2-3g would give me all I could handle. By the way I did get a good spore print that I'm going to transfer to Agar.

Fellow noob here as well. Two random questions --
1) How many spore syringes would one buy for an initial grow?
2) do syringes go bad? Are there specific storage suggestions?
Plan to do agar at some point but get feet wet with spore syringe first.

If your using a syringe, I assume your making PF jars? That would be the best way to start with a syringe. 1 or 2 syringes should be enough for 12-24 jars. Spore syringes will last a while. Store in a cool dark place or in the fridge and they can remain viable for years.
