Firsttimer, I need help!!
    #28382746 - 07/02/23 02:30 PM (1 year, 6 months ago)

Hello everyone, I just did my first flush and it was pretty pathetic. My method was to use all-in-one growbags then move to a tub with perlite, aluminum foil, and LED strips with 3-4 FAE and misting of tub walls (daily), one light misting of the block daily which I stop when pinning starts. I was running two blocks in the same tub, they both looked very healthy; cottony with a bunch of cotton bumps. Only one started pinning, but the fruit had vertical grooves on the stem and didn't get very large. they also only grew out of the top and some out of the bottom of the block which really perplexed me, I still don't understand why they won't come out of the sides. The other block never pinned. Any advice? did I do anything wrong? I also tried a humidifier for a day and some of the pins started growing healthier looking, but the block seemed like it was getting too wet so I stopped.

Congratulations on getting some pins! Here’s my advice, all in one bags are typically junk I hate to say it but just how it is. Do a search on here for all in one bags and you’ll see many people struggling with bacterial issues or low yields. Be thankful you have pins off of one bag and for your next run buy you some 6qt shoeboxes and coco coir. Learn agar and how to make transfers to get a clean culture. Learn about spawn and making sure your spawn is 100% clean. Combine all your new research and you’ll be seeing better yields, lower rate of contamination, plus it’s so much more rewarding to harvest a tub that you’ve worked so hard to get right on agar before ever touching grain spawn

my guess would be the humidity isn't high enough, or that youre not getting enough FAE. to get the right amount of FAE you'd have to fan probably 7-8 times a day. the point of using perlite is that it actively forces FAE, but you have to keep your bin open a little for that to work. Easiest way is to keep perlite pretty wet (not dripping wet but field capacity) and to offset the lid a little bit so that there's a couple square inches of a gap in each corner.

the other possibility is that it's humidity, which means the perlite isn't wet enough, make sure to keep it at or near field capacity at all times, and also to cut the tinfoil down to be the exact size of the bottom of your block.

if you fix these two things you should be good to go, your pins look like theyre bruising so I would assume that they're not getting enough air so fix that and you should be good, don't be afraid to ask more questions if the problem persists.

grow bags aren't inherently bad, a lot of them are pretty okay, but either way once the block is fully colonized you should be able to get fruits perfectly fine. In the future though learning other ways would definitely be a good idea.

PF tek is a good starting point as you don't need a PC, but it all depends on whether youre wanting to make this a huge hobby of yours, or just a one time thing.
