what causes sideways growing?
    #5887518 - 07/22/06 01:10 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

I have been growing shrooms pretty regulary but have had problems lately and the only think I can attribute it to is the 5 degree heat increase in my grow room because of the summer.

None of my monotub shrooms are growing UP anymore like they used to. They immediately grow sideways along the substrate. I haven't changed ANYTHING as far as my grow methods for the past few months. But the heat has gone up in the room because of summer. Stays around 75-80 now.

What kind of lighting are you using? When i just use a nightlight my shrooms grow at funny angles. I think Its becasue there isnt enough light coming strait from above the shrooms.

My shrooms always lean toward the light. So I rotate my bins.

But they can also grow toward reflected light. Some people use aluminum foil around their growing containers and it confuses the fuck out of the little guys.

Yeah, I kinda tortured my most recent casing... I rotated it every 6 hours and some of the mushrooms sorta twisted around... they look pretty rad though.

liamtheloser: yours are growing UP at least.... mine are crawling along the substrate like vines...never rising....


Yea they grow to the light, but my prior grows didnt have this problem. Like I said, the ONLY difference is the heat.




See, my prior ones grew straight up.


So what I wanted to know really is if added heat caused this or something else..... like a weak strain?

I can't tell you why that's happening but I can tell you I don't think it's the heat. In my (admittedly modest) experience heat just makes the process go slower.

Hmmmm...well what about humidity? Maybe the higher temperatures is causing more transpiration and thus, more humidiity leaving the tub.

High CO2 levels will cause that. Some strains require more air exchange than others. Also, some strains just grow weird.
