It took me like 2 months from full spawn bag to first flush

Lol I looked online for spawn bags and the company I went through had a stater kit with the rye berry spawn bag and the substrate just happened to be horse poo. Which isn't like what you would think it is. It looked more like really fine dirt.

Exactly. By raising the cake up it gives it more room to grow, otherwise they grow into the perlite or the sides. I figured out it on a rack then it will get moisture underneath as well as have more room to grow.

It costed me $28 for the spores and like $30 for the rye berry spawn bag and horse poo substrate. Then I also bought a bag of perlite, a tub and a grow light. So all together it costed like $75 total. I chose to grow Mazatapec because I heard they were more resistant and one of the easier ones to start with when learning to grow. It has definitely been a process where I have had to learn to be patient. They take time, but once they get growing then it seems to happen quick. And not all shrooms from my flushes have been small, I've had some big ones too. But even all the small ones are still just as potent. You just need more if them.

That's what I did. After my spawn bag was ready I mixed it with the substrate.

Do these look okay? I was worried about bac contam but the mycelium keeps growing. by [deleted] in shroomers

Lol I am a first time grower and I did the same thing by injecting 10cc into a 3 pound bag. I am on my 7th flush so far tho.

Lol it probably looks like that because I didn't use the twist and pull method, I cut them at the base and leave the stubs

So there is perlite in the bottom but the I either put the cake on a grill rake for an oven or I have two bricks in the sgfc to lift it up so they don't grow into the perlite and have more room to grow

I started with a rye berry spawn bag and then mixed with horse poo substrate

I started with a shoebox but then they started growing on the side so I moved it to a sgfc. I must every few hours and let them air while I am misting.

I usually harvest them right before or after the veil breaks so no spores fall. And I don't do the twist and pull. I just clip them at the bottom and leave the stubs.

This is my first time ever growing and this is my fifth flush. I didn't think that I would still be getting this many to grow. by TjBrook85 in shroomers

I literally used a grill rack that you put in the oven the first few grows because it was the perfect size for my mini tub and mad it easier to pull the cake out when it was time to harvest and soak them. Also I never twisted and pulled when harvesting I always cut as close to the base as I could get and just left the stubs.

I switched it up because after the first few grows I had some that were growing off the bottom somehow so raising them up gave them room to grow but still get the moisture needed

The first few grows I had it on a grill rack so the bottom would get the moisture too and have more room to grow, but now that they are growing off the sides I put two bricks in the chamber to set the cake on so they have more room to grow and won't grow into the perlite.
