3 days man  :rolleyes: Growing shrooms is way faster than pot. I checked it in the morning, then took that pic at night and it seriously grew in that time period. I can't wait to check it out tomorrow.

Well I basically have them inside a shoebox which is in a trash bag. Then like a foot and a half away I have a space heater pointed at them set to the lowest setting (50?) because it gets very hot. The thermometer inside the shoebox says their at 80 degrees every time i check up on them.

That's pretty damn fast. Is GT known for being a very fast colonizer?

Well My jars are colonizing nicely.



The only problem is that the bottoms haven't colonized yet.



Can I case a couple in this stage and wait for the other ones to finish to birth them as cakes?

You can but it's not a good idea. Uncolonized cakes carry a high risk of getting contaminated if taken out of the jars. You can probably cut off the uncolonized part and use the rest, but it's best to just wait.

I don't know if you've already been doing this, but when the mycelium is starting to move in on the bottom, you should keep the jars upside down to speed up the process.

Nice spider webs you have there :grin:

:mushroom2:

The cakes are finally ready and anxious to get out of their jars. As an experiment, i only fruited two of them and set them up as cake form. The rest are still in their jars, but if these two come out well, they'll be out soon. I'm gonna case two of em and i'm going to use peatmoss and vermiculite as mix. Only a little bit longer to wait :cheers:

The cakes are are looking good. But the temps aren't quite right. Is there anything i should be worried about? I want the rest of my cakes to do well. These are the Guinea pigs.  :cool:

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I cased one jar into two small bread tins. The mix was 50/50 vermiculite and peat moss. This is only my test run but I'm having a problem with temperatures. Where can i get a nice heater to make it warmer/ more humid?
