Newbie question, do these pins look alright?
    #27795040 - 05/27/22 12:00 PM (2 years, 7 months ago)

Hi fellas,

So I’m new to this and yesterday I had the first pins pop up in my grow. Today they’ve doubled in size but they kinda look “lazy” as if they’re falling over. Is this normal or are these potentially aborts? Almost all pins I see seem to be doing this.



I’m not sure if they need more FAE, mist or anything so any help is greatly appreciated. Maybe I’m just being impatient :smile:

Thank you sir, I raised the lid about 0.2 inches more, about 0.75 inch in total now. Mainly concerned about contams having the lid cracked this much, but I’m probably worrying to much. :smile:

It’s already spawned in open air, contams are a risk related more to clean spawn than anything else. Cleaner the spawn the better off you are…shit still happens to the pros too so it’s not 100% avoidable but there are ways to reduce risk.

Looks good tho, keep us updated!

You’re right, dang it’s so easy to overthink and worry about a billion things in this hobby haha. Thanks again, that does easy my mind a bit!

I’ve got a Timelapse on this kit in the making, hopefully will be able to share something cool to watch in a few days :smile:

It is. I found out about this community after purchasing two kits and learning these kits are mostly sh*t. But it’s a lot of money invested in them (compared to doing it all on my own) so I’m hellbent on trying to get something out of them. I’ve ditched the instructions for the kits and moved them into shoeboxes with perlite around them, and since then this kit has shown good progress so far.

I’m hoping to at least be able to get a few shrooms for, at minimum, some spore prints and then I can start from there :smile:

Well theres your issue.
These kits are a crapshoot, DIY next time for good results.

Just an update for the curious. Increased FAE a tad yesterday. Lots of new pins showed up over night.



I know they’re all so small it’s hard to tell anything by this but for now a lot of them are pointing up instead of down or to the sides.

It’s impossible to say how these kits were handled before they came to me. I’m just hoping the supplier lives up to their reputation.
But I do know that both my kits show blobs of mycelium and one of the kits are not handled/opened by the supplier, they just forward it to me from the maker of the kit. So I’m also thinking maybe my fruiting conditions have not been optimal from the start and both kits got very little FAE during the first weeks. I’ve tested the blobs by scraping them with a needle and they do bruise and smell just fine. So.. I don’t know, maybe time will tell 🤷♂️

Looks a tad better, still a bit dry, but I see lots of potential knots, I'd spray and pray lol.

I agree with you! That is one decent pin set for a grow kit!

Awesome job!  You can take a spore print or 10 and have continuous grows for as long as you'd like.

I would also look into making some agar to clone one of those babies!  It isn't hard at all.

When I started I got my agar from the Chinese grocery store then I used 3g potato flakes, 2g agar agar powder and 1g kyro corn syrup mix with 1/2 cup water.

I tripled this recipe and I add green 3 drops food coloring cuz I work in a dispensary and smoke lots of cannabis and then I load in my whisky bottle and PC for 60 minutes ish. You could probably get away with 20 or 30 minutes but I PC mine for an hour cuz I use an instant pot.

Super clean grows from there on if you pay attention to a few simple sterile techniques.

Good luck LaLa!

Hey thanks for the tip! I’m currently reading and trying to learn agar, it is a bit intimidating I’ll have to admit but it also sounds like a lot of fun and good way to learn things.

How would you go on about choosing a potential clone, by looks, size or something else?

Clusters, biggest fruits, first to pin/mature for speed.

:whathesaid:

It looks more complicated than it actually is. Once you've done your first batch you'll see, it's really not all that hard. Once you get the hang of it, it's a breeze.

I’ve had grows like that, they were bacterial. Edible fruits but not ideal whatsoever. Agreed where spawn health is a concern, it’s when I spawned slightly bacterial stuff and overwatered, with little FAE, that ended up with this result. It’s a part of the growing pains. I noticed high ambient humidity will affect outcomes as well.
