Help 1st time n00b
    #5657443 - 05/21/06 06:18 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

Wondering if anyone might be able to offer some advice. I got some spores a few weeks ago. PR and CAM strains. shot up 1 pint jar of PF cake (rye flour and verm.) with PR and 2 with CAM the PR started colonizing almost imediately (now in fruiting chamber) has been in fruitin about a week and is pining and growing shrooms, but they look really small. Is this normal, and can i do anything to make them bigger?











...and as for the 2 jarms of CAM 1 is STILL colonizing (why so slow?) and the other was contaminated, i removed all visible contaminamination and uncolonized substrate, broke up and put outside in a shady spot with dead leaves and covered with moist WBS (this is actually colonizing faster than my pint of CAM) i also, last week, shot up 8 1/2 pints, 2 CAM, 6 PR, and none of these has begun colonizing. Why is my luck going so badly with mushies? I'm doing the cakes as a trial before i go to Tenn Stud. I wanna grow a good amount, to provide me and my GF and a couple of good friends. any help would be greatly appreciated.

your not having bad luck. You have mushrooms and super fast I might add. those mushies will grow bigger. Normally it takes 2 weeks to a month plus to colonize, so be patient. As for the ones that haven't coloized wait at least two weeks and keep checking for growth. Gook luck and be patient.

thanks, i've just been seeing these pics of shroms a lot bigger, these don't look like they will get to be that size, but i'm gonna just keep watching and waiting. I'll post more pics when i take them as they grow.

yeah i agree with werdnaeroom8, those cakes dont look fully colonized. which could explain your problem, and can very easily get contaminated.

ok, it is just 1 jar i birthed, it was completely covered except the top. (i scraped off excess verm. but the myc. had gron through some, so i left waht was attached to the rest of the cake. after a day i rolled it in more verm.) I thought it was completely colonized, though i didn't cut it open to check the inside, and i'm not going to do that. I'll let the other jars go longer, just in case. (if they ever start colonizing) thanks for all the encouragement. I'm definintelty gonna go with hpoo next time around. What strains would be good for a beginner? should i stick with CAM and PR?

Harvested 1st flush, ate 6g fresh and trip seemed very mild but visual. I expected more potency, should PR be fairly potent, anyone with any experience eating these?

I don.t think 6g wet is very much. If I remember right you need more wet weight than dry wieght. I might be wrong but I think about twice that would have been better wieght for wet. check the forums and you will see what others have posted about wet wieght taking.

mushrooms are about 92% water.  6g wet dries to barely over a half gram.  they are however somewhat more potent because of the psilocin content that you lose when they are dried out.  so accounting for that, a 6g wet experience translates to somewhere a little above a half gram dried.  if it was visual off only that much you did good there's no problem with your potency. :thumbup:  eat more next time.  :shroomer:

those mushrooms are small because of a lack of fresh air most likely? does your fruiting chamber have holes cut out that are filled with polyfil or covered by tyvek? how often are you fanning and misting?
