Normal fruiting cycle? (PICS)
    #5502269 - 04/11/06 01:36 AM (17 years, 9 months ago)

Hello,...

This is my first attempt for the cultivation of Psilocybe Cubensis "Blue Meanie" and am looking for advice in relation to my layout and design. I have a TiT method that has a temperature set at the fruiting temp of 74F, with a water bubbler that is used on occasions. I've noticed that if I have it in constant use, that the humidity dries up.
Is a bubbler helpful at all??..

Each day, (depending upon requirements) I spray the chamber to help raise the humidity which I do after I fan the chamber for 10-15 minutes. I fan the chamber twice daily,.. do I need more FAE??

I'm restricted to the number of fannings a day due to university hours... The mycelium trays have had a light spray, but how much is enough?..

Also the length of lighting times is set to 10 hours per day,.. is this way too much?... or just about right?... A 36watt power compact flouro is used on a timer..

It is now day 4 and am wondering when (roughly) will pins form?... I've noticed that some of the surface mycelium has turned a blue tinge and am wondering if that is normal or not...

As you can see, I have a few questions and any help will be appreciated... Please view the images as they may help... I don't want to make my first attempt a disaster by over doing something or to lack in something else...

Btw: the lid is a clear plexi-glass taken off while I snaped these images... also I used rye grain to spawn the trays of coco-coir & vermiculite...







whisperz,...

Here's my advice if you're living in a University dorm room.

It looks pretty darn good to me. 

The only way to accuratly tell humididty lecels is going to be by using a hygrometer. Get yourself a thermometer/hygrometer. :thumbup:

Sorry , fell asleep :grin:

They look GREAT.

It's only been 4 days, be patien. It can take between 7-9 days to get fruit. Keep up the FAE, fanning as much as possible, try to keep the temps between 70-76 and the humidity between 85-82% and wait for things to happen.

Check into the mono tub if you don't already have holes with polyfil in your comyainer :thumbup:

All in all , your parameters seem real good. Just be PATIENT :wink:

Peace,Love,Happiness and Harmony
