can never get bigguns.
    #8006167 - 02/10/08 07:40 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

its weird ive done multiple ways now to fruit my pf cakes.

one time was in a poor mans pod with geolite and air wands and pump and all that good stuff.

and my mushrooms are almost always small to average.

i see all these pics of fat ass thick mushrooms growing off cakes.
i dont know what im doing wrong. i keep the humidty up and the FAE steady.
shit with the poor mans pod i even gave it an extra couple of manual fannings.

there usualy skinny with small caps.
the way im fruiting them now is in big zip lock bags with the inside misted alot. the humidity is well because the stems are all fuzzy.
i fan them pretty much every two hours besides the 6 hours im at work.

with this method i only got one decent sized mushrooms and it was still prety average compared to everyone elses crops. and my pinsets are pitiful. like two sometimes 4 mushrooms for one flush.

any ideas?

get a real FC and have stable conditions and use different growing mediums (substrates) and experiment with making your own spore syringes, isolating strains, etc..

i think that's the only way to grow monsters..

also.. waiting a week after the cake is fully colonized, letting it pin in the jar, then dunking it with that pin and rolling/birthing caused this dude:



not big by any means compared to some of the monsters on here, but it was just a PF cake...

i try to integrate this picture into every one of my posts, it's my pride and joy.

even though the biggest one i've seen was growing wild:

When using cakes, size is related to substrate moisture. A mid-flush mini-dunk will go a long way. You can set the cake in a saucer of water, or pile up verm on top and keep it soaked.

RR is right, a dunk can go a long way to getting a big boy.

I have also found that the BIG ones do not come along until the 4th or 5th flush and most never get that far.

Poo and straw also make bigguns hehe. What strain(s) are you growing? I've noticed various strange produce bigger / smaller fruit.

Yep, you need to try manure!  :hehehe:

Perhaps rye spawned to manure/straw then cased.  I've seen it done and found it rather impressive.
