My first grow - PICS

Hi, I figured I would post some pics of my first grow. These are Z+ strain according to the site I got them from. I started them in grow bags (2 small) and later transferred the bags to dishes in a cool mist grow chamber. I have been able to pick about 10 a day for the last 4 days. I've actually been very careless growing these, but the bags and the syringes were bought and I never opened the bags until one of them grew a big shroom. Then I decided to open one bag and put it in the tub and see if it would grow faster than the other bag. They seem to be growing smaller now, I'm not quite sure why, maybe next time I will colonize the bags and then case them.

One bag about 3 days after I pulled out the big one

so the bag you opened is growing smaller shrooms that the unopened bag? if so maybe because they dried out some or the mycelium was disrupted in some way??

No actually they are both in the tub now, the shrooms just seem to be getting smaller, the humidifier keeps it nice and damp.

subsequent flushes are smaller cause there is less water you need to rehydrate the mycelium after each flush.....maybe?

Too much water can also stunt growth as well.

I think I may let it dry a little then, it seems pretty wet in there.

Ok, I've picked most of the first batch. I see tons of new pins. I will let you guys know how the second flush goes. I'm not sure why any beginner would use a method besides grow bags. It just seems so easy to learn the ropes and see the progression without dealing with contamination. I am assuming I will have to do something about the soil becoming acidic soon? I wanted to keep growing these until my other bags are ready for the chamber. They are Plantasia mystery. I also took a print of the first shroom as it was the largest and fastest growing although I know that doesn't ensure that the new ones will be.

Congrats. I have heard that Z's smell like Cinnamon when picked. Any input on that. Got some Z spore and they were contam'd. Won't say where from, due to it is a first out of many good.,

They do have a distinct smell, not cinnamon...almost unlike anything I have smelled before. Much different than the blue meanies that I get from the cow pasture. I am growing a different variety next so I will be able to tell if the two types smell different at all.
