Potential for HIGH yield... and PICS!
    #5231848 - 01/27/06 04:05 PM (18 years, 11 months ago)

Hey fellow shroomerites!
I want to share with everyone my SECOND grow. I've read so many grow logs and watched so many people grow, that I wanted to post my grow log. But I dont have a camera so reading it all would be boring. My friend let me borrow his camera so I can finally let yall see my stuff.


this is farthest cake that is coming along. I CANNOT WAIT for this thing to start fruiting. if you look closely, there are a couple of small knots that will turn into pins. (sorry bout brightness) i should have some fruits by next weekend. :grin: this is mexican strain


looks like just a regular closet. But really its a...


my incubator. the temp now is about 75. the quart jars are wbs. the 1/2 pint jars are brf + verm, and there are a few with wbs.


just another shot. the incubator is just an electric blanket. I turn it on for about 10-15mins on the lowest setting to get it up to about 83. then a few hours later i turn it on again. the temp isn't constant but thats due me not wanting to live in a 80 deg room. (too hot)
it works nicely. i think they are happy. plus its stealthy :whistling:


i put a couple sweaters on top to hold in heat and it kinda looks like the drawer is stuffed with clothes. :tongue:


this is the amazon strain. at first, i thought this jar was dead. but just yesterday i saw a lil mycelium!!  :smile:
i was ready to inoculate it again but i didnt have to.


this is a jar treasure coast. it is spreading but the jar looks dry so the mycelium doesnt look so strong. its not very thick. just a thin layer on the wbs. sorry about the quality of the pic. kinda hard to see. i think im gonna inject like 10cc of poland spring water in there to help it out.


this is my best jar. this is B+. i inoculated this a lil after christmas. soon, i'll make a casing out of it. hopefully spawn with some poo!


just a shot of the electric blanket controller. its the white thing next to the pencil sharpener. i keep it here so i can see if it's on or not. if i leave it on for more than a few hours, the temp will get up to 120. I actually had a bad exp with that and it killed alot of spores. about 9 PF jars gone  :sad: i accidently left it on overnight.
surprisingly, all of the mexican strain jars survived!!  :crazyeyes: and two of the B+ jars.


my poormans terrarium. i made this because i had just one cake and didnt want to put one cake in a huge FC. my current FC used to be my incubator but now i changed it up. the PMT was bad because once i picked it up from the top and the whole thing fell on the floor. cake, perlite n all.  :hissyfit: i dunno why i did that.


this is my fruiting chamber. see what i meant about puting one cake in this big thing? (at the time it was an incubator) the pink container and the plastic container are full of perlite that had been rinsed and drained. i put the perlite in there so it is not as messy. the FC is actually upside-down (siting on lid). i sprayed painted the inside of the lid black then wrapped it with saran wrap so it was super air tight. i really like this FC.


this is how the FC looks on the inside. as u can see, the temp is 71 with a RH of 95. actually, that hygrometer can only go up to 95% so its somewhere from 95-100%. shows how cheap that thing is.
if you look closely to the cake on the left, there is a lil piece that i cut out to transfer to wbs that i had sterilized but never inoculated (ran out of spore solution)


this is where i keep the FC. it gets enough light. i put it here because it hides behind the door when someone opens the door.



well there you go. that is my status with my second grow. i felt like sharing because the Shroomey KICKS ASS and i learned a hell of alot from the teks, faqs, moderators, and just everthing here.  i plan on spawning those qt jars to poo and casing them. or just case them (depending if i can find poo in the winter) i made some cakes because i just wanna trip really bad and i am anxiously waiting for some fruits.

if i can get a hand on my friend camera again, i'll update this post with alot more pics in a couple weeks.

and a question i have is, can u fruit with straight wbs cakes? i have a few 1/2 jars with wbs and i wanna just fruit them as cakes for some quick shrooms.

THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ MY POST!!  and please rate me, if you want. i will appreciate some comments and feedback. THANKS AGAIN SHROOMERY!

Good post...thanks for taking the time and making a good looking post and not just throwing something up. I wish all would take the time, good job.


You cant use WBS as a cake but put it a case.....

You can place the heater on a timer though I don't like them...just me...remember thermal death is at 106...

I would be careful if you have to hydrate the jar...I did it once and it worked and helped but.....


Congratulation and good luck :thumbup:

right now im dunking 2 cakes. one cake that was birthed yesterday and another that i birthed today. hopefully i can get my hands on some sterile paper or something so i can prints for a successive grow. the mexican strain is awesome. it loves heat and is the fastest grower out of all the strains i have. i have mexican, b+, treasure coast, amazon, and equador.

i cant wait for the qt jars to colonize so i can spawn and case them. that will be my first time spawning. im excited. hope you guys like my grow and maybe learn something from it.

Yeah, man! Awesome post! You really got your shit together, especially for your second grow!!

Some advice though, get rid of the electric blanket incubator! Get yourself down to the supermarket and get two small rubbermaid bins (15qts or less) and then get a fishtank heater so you can make a TiT. You will have a near constant temp with no hassle! Plus it won't be as much of a fire hazard as that damn blanket!

And then when your jars get done colonizing you can either turn the TiT into two fruiting chambers or a Double-Tub if you are spawning to poo... which is recommended! I'm on my first poo attempt right now and I don't know why I never tried it sooner! I'll definitely make a post once the fruits are ripe...

Also, I see you are in a dorm. Be careful man... I'd suggest putting your FC in some kind of cabinet or in an opaque container perhaps with a nightlight inside for illumination. And really check for fire hazards! The last thing you need is your illegal mushroom grow setting off the smoke alarms and calling the fire department and police to your door!

haha... yes i do live in a dorm. its funny, one time my RA came to my door and asked me if there was mold growing in my room. i said, i dont think so. then he came into my room and checked the ceilings for the bad mold, not mycelium mold. haha! a funny story.

i dont think my mushrooms will set off any smoke alarms or anything nunbuh. the electric blanket is all i got for now, works OK though.

i will update this post when i get some fruits and when i go home to make some casings.  :laugh:

You don't want your terrarium that warm, unless it's doubling as an incubator, in which case you only want it that warm while incubating. Terrariums/FCs should only be like 70-75F.

Alright, well make sure you drop the temp when you fruit, for optimal growth and pinset.

Hengman, that's a cool setup you've got there. I too know the hassles of growing stealth in a dorm room. I can't help but feel it's holding back my true mycological potential, lol..

you dont use an air filter on your grain jars? i didnt see any.
you should have a hole in the lid with a piece of tyvek or polyfil over it.

that goes for your cakes too. there should be a few little holes in the lid, assuming theres a dry verm layer. or am i just way off?

your right... i dont have any sort of air filter on the jars. i realize this so i left the lids ajar.

when i get my next paycheck (feb 10) polyfill is at the top of my list. then supplies for LCs is next on the list. then horse poo.

so i've still alot of stuff to take care of. soon i will post pics of that first cake fruiting.

they are fruiting right now but i'll wait till harvest day to post some pics.

THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL THE KIND WORDS!

tyvek is free at the post office, and a big bag of polyfil is only 1.99 at hobby lobby or some craft store.

first flush [Re: Omnicracker]
    #5259400 - 02/03/06 01:51 PM (18 years, 11 months ago)

well, im sorry to say that i didnt take a picture of this very first flush. it wasnt much to brag about anyway though

that first cake produced relatively small shrooms. i was a lil pissed because i wanted bigger shrooms...duh.  :discodance:

anyway... i harvested it yesterday around 12. i was about 10-15 grams wet. i ate it in a taco and slice of pizza.

well, i must say that my calculus class at 1 was pretty interesting. while the prof was solving integrals, i was watching my desk swirl its colors into eachother.

a level 1 to level 2 trip. pretty nice. there are now pins on two cakes i got goin, and i dunked the cake i harvested.

hopefully, im going to go home to make casings out of a few of those jars that 100% colonized. should have some very nice results. keep checkin this post if your interested in how my first big casings will come along. (i did 3 in the past but all of them contamed)

take it easy
