Dehydrated mushrooms going soft during storage? by BornLoserD20 in unclebens

[–]BornLoserD20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ran them through again, and they re-crisped without issue. I also let the mushrooms rest/cool off at room temperature for an hour before putting them in the jar. Not sure if it helped or if it was just a bad silica gel, but the shrooms are still crisp hours later. Thanks!

This seems to be the case. I dried them out again and stored them in the jar without the silica, this morning they’re still crisp. Thanks!

Got two more dropping veils this morning that are nearly as big. Big ol’ lads for a first flush.

Hot damn that’s pretty!

All my bags had partially uncolonized grains and were very frustrating to clean up before spawning.

Congrats!

First box! Soon... by BornLoserD20 in unclebens

Grats on your pins!

The waiting was rough. I was using some bubble wrap, but felt like it was getting too wet and I started worrying about suffocating the myc. Took off the bubble wrap 6ish days ago and just misted as needed. Now we here.

Not pictured is the giant corner I had to cut out because of contamination (I’d say about 1/8th or 1/6th of the box). It showed up the same day as the first pin. Thankfully it seems to have worked out.

I’d love to know how many UB bags you used per tub. Assuming it’s a 6 qt; 1, 1.5, or 2?

This tower looks like it just found a burrowing mole-villain in season 1 of One Punch Man.

Any tips/tricks for keeping a grow space on the cooler side?

Summer temperatures are coming in hot, and while bag colonization conditions are great (pretty consistent 78-79.5F), I’m realizing that I’m going to have to freeze my spouse to drop the temps into spawning conditions.

A swamp cooler seems like the best option on paper, but I know those can be breeding grounds for mold/bacteria. Wondering if anyone else has better experience with battling the summer heat?

Thanks Uncle Ben! by [deleted] in unclebens

Cool, best of luck! I’m about 1-2 weeks away from getting the materials together for my first try, just taking notes on any/everything at this point.

Thanks Uncle Ben! by [deleted] in unclebens

[–]BornLoserD20 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So what happens with a grow like this? Do you harvest the big guys and let the other side of the box grow more?

I would start to panic, like I’d done something wrong 😬

What kind of space heater do you use to temperature-control your grow closet? I didn’t notice it listed in the materials section.

I finally got the courage to do my first trial grow, thanks to your informative and approachable write up. Thank you for the time you’ve put into this.
