My very first grow attempt
    #7422780 - 09/18/07 09:07 AM (16 years, 4 months ago)

This is my very first attempt at growing mushrooms.
I ordered from spores 101. great.
I am growing in grow bags from the mad season. I figured since it is my first attempt i'd try grow bags but i plan on using rye next.

I'm incubating them in a 10 gal aquarium with about 2 inches of water in it there is an aquarium heater in there that is set to 85 degrees. Also an old ice cream bucket with a weight in there to keep it from tipping over in the water as well as the 3 grow bags 2 inoculated with the John Allen strain and one with blue meanie.

After 12 days all 3 bags are showing signs of growth and i am really happy that everything is going well so far for my first time.

I want to case the bags once they are fully colonized in the same aquarium i'm incubating in.

I always grow with the mad season bags. if you want a good yield with next to no time or effort invovled thats the way to go. Also had great luck with Spores 101. i have bags on the 5th flush now. Good luck.

Your setup as a whole looks mighty iffy. I'm anti-incubator. Just throw your spawn in a cabinet above your fridge.

Don't spend money on premade spawn bags. The best and cheapest way is to learn to do everything for yourself.

There's a lot of people that have vouched for the companies thats why i chose them. I don't post a lot because i haven't grown before but i've been reading the board for more than a year. I just wanted an "idiot proof" way to grow for the first time. Less chance of contamination than doing the sterilizing myself.

There is a little bit of bleach in the water to kill the bacteria.

how can you be anti-incubating? if you live in a place where your constant room temp is 77-80, then i can understand that

but i run AC full power at 70degrees day and night
and jars seem to colonize dreadfully slow at 70degrees versus 80-82 i get in my incubator

my incubator is inexpensive, cost me next to nothing, and i feel it's close to essential

also i dunno bout you guys, but none of my fridges put off any heat, they actually seem to be pretty cold >.>

If you take a thermometer and place it above your fridge you'll notice that it is a few degrees warmer than the rest of your house.

it's likely warmer behind my desktop PC

it seems like everything set on top of the fridge, even the stuff in plastic containers is colder than room temp

do your jars usually feel cold to the touch?


thx wutang, those are brazillian
i'll get some more pics of those up soon, i've gotten such a large amount of substrate from only 3/4 of the syringe i got from ralphsters

looking to case some amazon and ecuador next
only a week or so on those

waiting on 1 orissa rye cased
and 1 i'm fruiting without a casing layer

The outside of my jars are cool to the touch but the inside is warmer. I'm just trying to offer some advice. I wouldn't set them on the ground if thats where your pc is. On top of the tower is a common place to put jars as well.

you can make a pretty cheap incubator by assembling a heatbomb
do a little searching, the tek is ez enough

i also like to incubate for the sake of isolation

though i will admit, it isn't completely neccesary
