How long do you think before I have pins?


Patience, Grasshopper.

Less than a week. What's the variety and how warm is it? (do NOT add heating pads, that brings contam)


The variety is B+
The temperature is on the low side - it fluctuates between 20 and 23 degrees Celsius.


My grow space temperatures are 14-20 Celsius year round.

So I guess, temperature-wise I have nothing to worry about then.
How long after forming early primordia does it take your substrates before you see pins at 14 degrees Celsius?

depending on the variety you're probably within 2 weeks of harvesting fruits.  it goes fast once it gets to the point you're at.  you may have primordia by the time you get up tomorrow.  they are sneaky little dudes.

edit: I need to get in the habit of reading all the posts before replying.  looks like at least one other person covered this before I replied.  sorry.

68 to 73 F, I'd not call that on the low side. I try to stick at 70, of course can get warmer in the summer.

A week, maybe less. Very first pins, as they morph from knots, can be so small you have to look for them, but in a day or less, they'll be for sure pins.

First pin is a glorious moment I remember forever.

Below is a macro pic of some B+ pins from my first few months here, 5 years ago. B+ was my first grow as well.

Totally underrated shroom variety, and is one of the possible parents of x7x+ via parent x7x that user x7x_x7x poured into his genetic lotto. "Golden Teacher, Koh Samu, B+, and maybe others." (per e mail to me from  x7x_x7x)

This is my 4th or 5th grow, if I am not mistaken.
I just do big pauses between grows and forget the little details in the meanwhile.

I have what looks like small water spots on the surface of agar plates (LME/agar) I poured today. If I tilt the plate sideways, the spots will “run,” the spots run slowly, but they run.

Is it likely just condensation dropped onto the plate?  Anything to worry about?  These are my first plates in quite awhile and I don’t recall running into this before.  Sorry, don’t have pictures…

Bacteria can be wet but usually not clear. Water is clear.

Absolutely need a pic to tell for sure.

Oh wait, you poured them TODAY? Condensation. Bacteria wouldn't be viable for 24 to 72 hours. Mold can take a week or more to see.

Still, pic please.

Haha. Didn't see the start date, and the question was a common new grower question.

That's the thing with any hobby, if you don't do it for a while, you lose the muscle memory and have to re-remember how to do it, even if you've done it a long time.

Well, B+ was my first grow and it's an underrated shroom. I don't know why it's not much more commonly grown these days. Was more common 5 years ago and from what I read here very common 10-15 years ago, back when there weren't nearly as many choices.

Yup, poured today.  I was wondering if the liquid of the LME agar somehow separated…. Just odd as I’d never seen that.  I’m hoping it does not mess up the growth of mycellium

Thanks for the reply.

I used to commonly pour a week or 10 days before I need them usually, put them in piles of ten, wrap single micropore tape around a stack, put in the sleeve, keep at room temp, and check in ten days for any contam.

Then use some, and put the rest sideways in a fridge in zip locks or trash bags (depending on how many)

My first bin. Things looking ok? I from my understanding that fuzz is normal? The coir starting to look a little dry, but plenty of condensation on the sides and lid.

A bit too wet. Let it do its thing without misting :thumbup:

Edit: Might offset the lid for a day or 2 just to make sure IMO

If 3qts is the minimum amount of water required to run your pc. What's the maximum you can safely use and still perform a proper pc?

I recently harvested my first flush for my first grow and I couldn’t have asked for a better Fathers Day gift haha

I was wondering, does anyone try some of their harvest right away? I was considering just trying a cap or so just to see what I’ve got ya know? I put a few to the side apart from my makeshift drying box I made, the really good looking ones haha

See if you can guess the strain-





Cubes.  Definitely cubes.. that's about the only answer anybody's going to be able to give you. Which would in turn be correct. There is no way to tell the difference between any of those "varieties"( is the proper vocab. Not "strain") 

Many have said it  and I'll say it once again. a cube is a cube.

1/4 way up the jar is a close guess.

You could probably go up to halfway, but the more water the longer it takes to get to temp

Hi, these LC were inoculated over a week ago, and this is the only progress visible right now. I'm thinking too dry? If I were to inject sterilized water into the jar, how much should I inject? Thanks!

PS: I opened a jar to smell it a few days ago and it didn't smell bacterial.

Nah, that's normal.  Actual water droplets on the agar are not, but agar sliding as you tilt is Ok.  It'll gel up more by tomorrow and the next day.  Stack those petris 10 high and cover with clingwrap.  You'll have condensation on the underside of the lid, and don't touch it.  It'll help dampen the spores to germinate.


callmehippie said:

The limitation is you don't want that PC water to get into whatever you're sterilizing.  So say, 1/2 of the way up quart jars.  Also as you start heating, leave that jiggle-weight off until steam.  That way you're sterilizing with pure steam which has more energy than air.

I use tap water for PC and distilled water for MEA and grain.  After all, rainwater is distilled.
