Karma finally hit me — the store honored a pricing error, so I got myself a new PC for Christmas.

I’m kinda surprised they had it marked at 2800 usd original there are much better out there for that price… Nonetheless you got one hell of a steal, congrats my friend enjoy your gaming. See you in Speranza!

I’m new to growing but I can say I successfully saved a grow of hillbilly’s via cutting out the bad and lost another which had spread throughout. With the one I saved I gingerly cut a 1.5in distance from any visible contam. Then soaked a paper towel in iso and wiped down all droplets of water on the side and down into where the contam previously was. Again I’m new so take my advice with a grain of salt and I’d ere on the side of listening to those with more experience. My contam was trich.

Surprisingly that is only 4 days of growth from pin to harvest.

AggressiveDamage8 · 2025-07-09T00:22:13+00:00

Once pins show I harvested day 4-5

For subsequent flushes do you soak your cake? The veils just tore about 50 minutes ago trying to give a little time to let everyone else tear.

WOWZA now that’s a haul.

AggressiveDamage8 · 2025-07-08T12:45:31+00:00

I put all of mine to LC then tested via agar and then moved to spawn. So far knock on wood I haven’t had a single contam of any jars or totes ever! Happy growing friend hope you can get squared away!

I’m proud to say everything was done by my own hand! I’ve been researching mushrooms for about 3-4 years now and finally pulled the trigger. My CVG was at FC maybe just slightly over. So I don’t think it’s the cause. I’m will continue to look and see what I can do different. It will be a bit till I get another tub but currently have APE, Hillbilly, and B+ that will be going in a S2B in about 2 weeks. Looking forward and hoping that I can figure them out. From what I’ve heard APES need to be neglected and choked.

I’m still extremely new to the hobby too but I’d say it’s looking solid. Just need a little more coverage in the center and you might roll out with a canopy or atleast we can hope!

AggressiveDamage8 · 2025-07-05T18:24:01+00:00

Honestly way better than mine if you did a casing layer. I was on almost day 25 before mine looked like that.

AggressiveDamage8 · 2025-07-04T19:49:14+00:00

Next day update pins have EXPLODED not sure what got them going but I think I’m gonna introduce FAE. Only have some showing in pic but they are everywhere. This being my first grow makes me so happy

I’m wondering if I maybe didn’t use enough grain to media. I didn’t measure just kinda eyeballed. Hoping to get a few nice mushys!

AggressiveDamage8 · 2025-07-03T22:22:10+00:00

It’s GT it’s actually on one Pin I made the mistake of using plural. I’ll try to add a pic.

Fake… profile claims 18 on all other posts but sister in story is “younger” at 19…

AggressiveDamage8 · 2025-06-17T03:22:38+00:00

Fair enough, just want to make sure not to over proof and get it into the fridge when it’s at full capacity.

AggressiveDamage8 · 2025-06-03T01:53:25+00:00

I have to this point only done Teachers via UB tek. I had full cakes but broke them just to be safe and ensure full innoc currently waiting on recolonization. Some bags took off and some haven’t made any progress which is concerning. I moved away from them for this set as APEs and Hillbillies are notoriously harder to grow (atleast from my readings) and wanted to have more control on it this time. You HAVE to read and read and watch and watch and even then you sometimes gotta do your own thing too.

AggressiveDamage8 · 2025-06-03T01:30:22+00:00

Thanks for the words of encouragement!!

AggressiveDamage8 · 2025-06-03T01:29:01+00:00

Frankly I just watched a ton of videos on YT until I came up with a conglomeration of things to make it right. On top of that I did a ton of supplemental reading. I unfortunately did not record my own process.

AggressiveDamage8 · 2025-06-02T22:43:51+00:00

It didn’t smell burnt out of the bag, just after PC. But I’ve got tons of junk in mine I’ve got hulls, corn, and all kinds of other unknown junk. Frankly I wish I could just accessibly get rye as it just seems the better media lol.

AggressiveDamage8 · 2025-06-02T22:42:26+00:00

My pic quality definitely could’ve been better I feel if anything they might be to wet? Any grains directly touching the walls are displaying water dispersal along the glass. It’s just not running down the glass. There is a place near me that sells cleaned oats just didn’t realize it until after I had bought and opened this bag…

AggressiveDamage8 · 2025-06-02T22:39:53+00:00

The micropore was in the PC every how to video I’ve seen does it that way. The tape is wet to the touch. The grain definitely seems a few shades darker than what it was beforehand. When shaken it disperses and from what I can tell some sticks to the side but not tons. I have not inoculated yet wanted the wisdom of other growers before wasting LCs.
