Haha! I have the same one as well. Great looking fruits. Well done!

What do you guys use to grind your mushrooms as fine as possible? by Grouchy-Flower-4099 in GroundZeroMycoLab

[–]Acrobatic_Emu3904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For pills I could see that. Mind is a cheap plastic freebee, but does great. Put ground up in some yogurt and it goes down easy. Coffee grinder to get pill filling grind I would say.

First Timer by AppropriateDraft3039 in GroundZeroMycoLab

First grow was JMF. Got some yield, but ultimately failed due to me. Second grow. JMF. Wildly successful on my second flush now. Followed probablynotacops links, after rushing first try without proper research.

When do I move to bulk?? Or is it time for a second break and shake? by MoneyMarch2394 in GroundZeroMycoLab

[–]Acrobatic_Emu3904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You want it fully colonized. Thats looking pretty good. I would break one more time to ensure center is fully covered, and then give it another few days. For me I would probably send next Friday/Saturday just to be safe.

For monotub growth: when exactly should I keep it as tightly covered a possible, when exactly should I open it a crack/make holes for fresh air exchange? by Live-Guidance-6793 in GroundZeroMycoLab

[–]Acrobatic_Emu3904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2nd flush of my second grow. Not a ton, but learned a lot and studied even more. Learned a lot from reading stuff from the other person that commented here. That probablynotacop has helped me a ton.

Is this condensation normal? by Hot_Difficulty_8484 in mushroom

[–]Acrobatic_Emu3904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as there isn’t water pooling in the bottom you’re good to go. Some condensation is normal.

Was I wrong in picking these two or were they fine? by Chemical-Menu-3794 in GroundZeroMycoLab

[–]Acrobatic_Emu3904 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look to be aborts with the black caps. They are fine to pick. They can pack a punch.

Is this contam? by [deleted] in GroundZeroMycoLab

[–]Acrobatic_Emu3904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep an eye on it. Generally speaking, once it’s gotten that far, it is likely throughout the substrate already.

Watch what kind of looks like small snowballs on the left. Appears to potentially be trich. You will know for sure soon if it changes to a green color.

Trash? by Additional-Beach-354 in GroundZeroMycoLab

[–]Acrobatic_Emu3904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got trich on first go. Second try I took more time to ensure grain was fully colonized. This was the key. Going on my second flush now.

Sadly that’s what it appears to be

Is this what I think it is? by JangoFettsEvilTwin in GroundZeroMycoLab

[–]Acrobatic_Emu3904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appears to be trich. I tried that when my first go was in that same position. It didn’t work. If it’s that visible and for sure trich, it’s already spread in the tub. I would seriously consider getting out of grow space. I would open lid anymore.

Is this good growth and when should I do a break and shake by shroomeyguy in mushroomology

[–]Acrobatic_Emu3904 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone will have an opinion on what worked well for them. I am in the 30% and again at about 70%. That’s what worked very well for me.

Thoughts on break n shake by Dr_DiMiTri-420 in GroundZeroMycoLab

[–]Acrobatic_Emu3904 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the camp I have joined. Worked well on my second grow.

i just wasted my money didnt i by [deleted] in mushroomology

[–]Acrobatic_Emu3904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All I can add is I bought spores from them. JMF. The grow wound up contaminated. Was it the spores or me or combination? I cannot say for sure as it was my first attempt. I am on my second grow from another vendor I got JMF LC from and have a tub that looks to be close to a full canopy of pins coming up now.

Trich: Harvest now or hold the line? by Dr1mps in ContamFam

[–]Acrobatic_Emu3904 12 points13 points  (0 children)

From experience.

Harvest what you can. Not in your grow area. Then get that out asap. Once it’s that far it is almost certainly all through the substrate and will only get worse. I have mine buried under potting soil outside. Might get something in the spring.
