can someone help me figure out what went wrong (just curious)
    #5767311 - 06/19/06 09:15 AM (17 years, 7 months ago)

this is my millionth attempt at growin shrooms, I've been using cake method and I've yet to succeed, curious as to what went wrong this time. I used verm/BRF in the suggested amounts and made 6 half pint cups, PC them for 1 hr 15 minutes, let them cool overnight, than inocculated, left them in TIT for 2 weeks and they grew some white stuff but not much, i put them on 1 inch of wet perlite and fanned them daily and gave them 4 - 6 hrs of light each day. only 1 of the 6 grew shrooms, the others have not, however now that 1 cake is looking sick too, one of the shrooms on the side with barely any is rotted and the others are starting to sag, what went wrong. I know my first mistake was birthing them too early at two weeks, should of waited for more white stuff, but went wrong after that? thanks for the help.

well, I believe what is wrong is that you didn't wait for the cake to fully colonize? It should've took around 3-5 weeks to be fully colonized.... If you didn't, the cakes may still be fine, but will definately pin until you let it finish.... where did the light come from? the sun? there are many possibilities....



peace

If all you had were a few little white spots then yes, that is the one and only mistake I can see. Just wait it out and you will be successful. Do you know what the temps. are inside your TiT?

First you gotta let your cakes fully colonize, like it was said 3-5 weeks, also are you putting your cakes directly onto the perlite?  If so you need to create a barrier in between the two, I find the bottem of a plastic cup works great, cut the bottem off and fill it with a small amount of sterile vermi. put your cake into the cup bottem and add that to your TiT.  Other than that it looks like the only thing your doing wrong is not letting the cakes fully colonize.  Hope this could be of some help. :thumbup:

I believe the only light that aids mushroom growth is ultraviolet? I could be wrong but I have never used a light source, jars colonize in my closet in complete darkness. My grow chambers are built into my dresser and are in complete darkness as well. O2 and H2O thats it... But dont take my word for it, i could be wrong.

I have only experienced mushrooms a few times and when I did a small dose I had a great time, very spiritual but when I have done only a little more than that I would dwell or feel anxiety. I want to no if I need to just do a little and then after a few times of that work my way to doing more or if more is not for me.I just feel that I may be missing out on an experience by not doing more. Any feed back is good.

When you come to the edge of all the light you know...and you are about to step off in to the darkness. Faith is believing one of the two things will happen...there will be something solid for you to stand on or you will learn to fly.
