First penis envy flush
    #28022510 - 10/29/22 08:29 AM (2 years, 2 months ago)



I understand it's not unusual to get puffballs with first flush penis envy? How do you judge when to harvest?

I thought the cream colored mycelium was a contaminant and almost threw out the batch when it started but as it spread those were the regions that turned into pins and puffball looking mushrooms. I guess it's ok?

welcome!

Is it just me or does that sub look dry?

The yellowing can be a sign of stress.

:goodluck:

I've been if anything a little paranoid about over moisturizing.

After a successful 1st grow I've had 4 attempts that ended in green mold just as pins started.

My suspicions:

1) maybe iffy spawn. This time I grew a couple cycles on agar instead of colonizing grain from spore syringe.

2) maybe the closet has mold spores lurking from prior failures? I've sanitized really well. I have a computer fan in the monotub but is covered with saran wrap now. I have 8 holes with loose polyfill.

3) maybe substrate was too wet before or i moved to fruiting too early and gave mold chance to grow? Right now I turn on the humidifier into one of the polyfill holes 3 times a day for a few minutes.

Looks more cream than yellow up close. I don't see any yellow liquid around edges.

Looks more cream than yellow up close. I don't see any yellow liquid around edges. And there are water droplets covering the sides of the tub.

3) maybe substrate was too wet before or i moved to fruiting too early and gave mold chance to grow? Right now I turn on the humidifier into one of the polyfill holes 3 times a day for a few minutes. best practice is to spawn right to fruiting conditions. ditch the humidifier. mist the surface when its dry, otherwise ignore it




those are blob mutations caused by poor conditions. with PE especially you need a high sub to spawn ratio and a thick top layer of just :achiever:SUBSTRATE:achiever:. STOP all mechanical fanning, passive airflow only

Thank you!

Just to clarify, thick top layer of substrate or spawn?

I deliberately used a lot of spawn (7 quart jars in a big tub) because I've been worried about getting fully colonized substrate quickly to mitigate chances of contamination.

Really interesting. This is a great community.

Going to focus future efforts on clean spawn and back off spawn volume

:wellhello:
thats what i like to hear

if you want to play on an easier mode, other cube varieties tend to be more forgiving than PE
