yea that is actually the dumbest thing I've ever said. I can't believe I didn't look at your FC in the background of your pictures, because it's pretty obvious that FAE is no problem at all with that setup. It's possible it's from something it grew into or that bumped it. I know when I grow shrooms in jars they tend to mutilate their gills when they bump the sides. Has anything odd happened to this shroom or has it bumped anything. Maybe you should biopsy it and clone it to an LC (or to agar if you do agar) if it's children grow like it, then it's a mutant and you'll have a wierd mutant strain of your own.

The only thing I can think of is there was a large cluster of pins that might have smashed it a little at it's start but he's the only guy that grew from that cluster, so maybe that was it. Thanks for the info, I will do that for sure!! I love this site, everyday you learn something new!!

So I notice last night that the cap of this shroom cracked it appeared to be turning green. I suppose I either waited to long to pick it or I have some contam. What would you say??? Also my pins on my other cakes seem to be "shedding" their outer skin and growing out of it. I know it sounds weird but here's a pic to explain.[image][/image][image][/image]

Have you tried any of your mutant mushrooms yet? Maybe they will give you a mutant trip lol.

could be too dry I've heard complaints that that setup has too much FAE and the perlite drys out quick. The Contaminant guide describes cracking as being a problem that affects dry mushrooms. I've personally never seen this before though.

I have decided to rework my FC and do The Poor Man's Pod method. I'll let you know how it works out.

Well here it is. Two bubble wands in the bottom but I had to use perlite. Seems to be working great so far.[image][/image]

good Idea, I never understood the rational RR had behind suggesting that setup in his vids. The PMP is Pimp. I use a perlite one myself and it works great man.

WOW!!!! You would not believe the improvement. These guys look 1000% better. PmP is great. I forgot my camera but I will post pics later tonight. Also I brewed those shrooms that were growing in vitro and split it between 3 people and we all had a pretty good night. I would say level 3 trip and there wasn't even that many shrooms!!! I think I have some kick ass shroomies here!!

OK here a little update. Here's a picture of a casing I just put in the FC and a sample of what came from those cakes. These are all first flush shrooms and so far had about 350 wet grams from 10 cakes on first flush. I have been getting a bunch of giant mutants and I think its from my light. I did some reading and found some lights can cause mutants. It says it's a full spectrum light but could not get any more details, like if it puts out UVC light. The full spectrum is what's bothering me. Also is it a bad idea to patch the casing after it's been in the FC for a couple days. At first it was pretty even but it took off pretty fierce in a few areas after putting it in there.[image][/image][image][/image]

i highly doubt that light causes mutants. its usually genetics of some sort of excessive use of chemicals around the mushrooms like lysol.

Ya I was using a lot of Oust at first then I heard that. I stopped using it a couple days after birthing but I guess it still effected the cakes. Oh well, I have shrooms so I'm happy anyways. Also I just knocked up 10 more jars with an LC. I used a little less water in my substrate and used 10cc of LC per jar. I'll keep you posted!!

Ok so I have had great success with the EQs and my casing but I had to leave for a weekend and came back to a nice big green spot on it. The oust was the problem with mutants "which were really weak". Then we got some really pretty shroomies which were super good. One thing that has baffled me is the fact that I have no success at all with PF classics. I used 10cc to knock up 4 1/2 pint jars of brf, "which is way too much I know, I just wanted to see what would happen". The rizzo growth on these cakes was INSANE with excellent pin sets. When they started growing they seemed to just shutdown and started to rot before anything good came from the cakes. I rolled and dunked every time they started to rot but no luck. Same thing happened every flush. I know I wasted a lot of spores but I figured that would only help. Heres a pic. I waited to see and any thing else would sprout but they would rot even more with nothing else sprouting up. This is farthest I could get with the PFs. [image][/image] and heres a little bit of luck I had with EQs.[image][/image]
This is one flush for a bout 6 cakes around 146 wet grams and super good!!!! These are a little blue, I need to work on my drying tek but I think got it figured out now. I owe it all to everyone here that helped and everyone's INSANE good teks. This site rocks and I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!

And I thought I'd let you all know I have about 8 1/4 pint jars of PFs that are going to be spawned to hpoo in about 1 week or so, Wish me luck!!!

I might warn you 50/50 casing is about one and a half times as good at holding moisture as straight verm. You should get into 50/50 casing. Peat moss isn't too hard to come across. But good looking stuff there man.

that it does, props and good luck. Out of curiosity how are you doing your casings? I moved onto monotubs after dicking with a Martha until I realized maintenance free was a must.
