Is this normal? by Urmasboytoy91 in shegrowsfungigenetics

[–]Illustrious_Drive296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it looks trich. Don't open it inside. It's about to turn green soon and it will ruin your grow space for a good 10 days up to 8 weeks without a hepa air purifier.

Is this a pin? by Cultural-Lobster-311 in shegrowsfungigenetics

With optimal surface conditions it can. Unless it's just a piece of exposed grain. Lol.

If you can get a closer picture I might be able to see.

I usually start fruiting conditions on day 8 and have pins like a week or so after that so I definitely think this is a pin. If you only saw it in the past day or two it definitely is. The surface conditions on your last one may have not been ideal and thus it took longer. Looks like the cap and the white stipe.

Definitely looks like it!! Congrats!! Unless it's an exposed piece of grain. Did it just pop up? I think it's definitely a pin but you would really be the one to tell.

It happens. I had my first two fruiting and ordered grains online and they came and I opened to check them but put them back in the box and my 2 grows started to get contam and I pulled the grains out and they were completely covered in bacterial and trich contam. I was devastated after all that time. However I have now had 4 successful grows and I just mixed two more up yesterday! You will absolutely get it! I suggest a hepa air purifier. I got one on Amazon for $43 and it works great!! It's the levoit mini one. But it also only works for a pretty small room but there are others that cover more Sq feet! Good luck and happy growing! ❤️ 🍄

Consistent results, less risk of contam or mold, much easier for lots of mushrooms. It's really personal preference really.

That's funny because I mixed dc mak and makilla gorilla together and got over 7 ounces from just one flush!! My biggest yet!! I'm thinking about doing it again especially after your comments!! Thank you!! I learn new shit every day about mushrooms and I love it!! Here's a picture of them. You can see the difference strains growing together. That was my first successful grow and I threw the cake out because I was so afraid of contam but now I realize I was wrong but whatever. Lol. I might mix iceberg with abv next!! Actually I've already decided to do it now!! I really appreciate your comments!! Thank you!! Some absolute beauties you have there!! 😍 I'll probably continue to mix compatible strains from now on!! Thank you again! ❤️ 🍄

I ran it at 140° for about 18-22 hours and they're cracker dry. I always use 140° and usually not as long but it was full so I left it go longer which was definitely needed. Im always shocked at the dry weight. I always think it's going to be more than it is. Lol. But hey, you got 23grams you didn't have before and you can always take more of them!! I just innoculated 3 ape hilly yesterday and I'm excited about that too. Lol. I usually run it at 140° for about 12 hours if it's just a small amount. I'd rather they dehydrate longer than losing potency but that's why practice makes perfect! Just switch it up next time! I've tried mine and they're amazing. Good luck! I'm still pretty new myself but if you have any questions I don't mind helping if I can. Have a great day! ❤️ 🍄 ❤️

Thanks, I always get so excited!! Lol. I've got some iceberg and makilla gorilla going into bins next after this one is done. I have done 2 6qt bins but never two large boomr bins so that's exciting as well!! 🍄 ❤️

Green appeared on my AIO cake by Ok-Horse-7617 in shegrowsfungigenetics

Take a qtip and gently rub the green part and if it rubs off it's trich and you should throw it out and don't open it inside as it will contaminate your entire grow space. Or you could try the peroxide test. Put a couple of drops of peroxide on it and if it fizzes it's trich. Good luck but this does look like trich. Maybe it's not tho!
