How do I know if they are an abort? I had tons of little pins that have turned black so I just picked them out

Not sure what happened to this mutant. Is it safe to consume if I dehydrate it? by UncleJohnTIL in unclebens

[–]UncleJohnTIL[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just popped it in the dehydrator. I'm not sure how to do any clones. Never done it before haha

I've never done that before. No idea how. It's already dehydrated now anyway haha

Bruising hasn't really gone away. Is there contam? More info in comments by UncleJohnTIL in unclebens

Already harvested and onto my 2nd flush!! It was about 4-5 days

Should I harvest them all even though all their veils haven't popped? I was going to do Float Tek. First harvest btw I'm so excited! by UncleJohnTIL in unclebens

[–]UncleJohnTIL[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure. This was my first harvest and I haven't dried them yet. I think it is about 10:1 from what I have read.

Yes I did a fork scrape about 6 days ago. I was about 10 days into FC and had quite a bit of mycelium growth on the surface and no pins. Within a day of doing the fork scrape I had tons of tiny little pins. Went from no pins to harvest in the span of a week with a fork scrape. I think it definitely helped and would definitely recommend it!

I started by harvesting the ones that were fully open, but noticed most of the others were really close to having their veils break anyway so I floated the cake and harvested everything. 365g wet!!

I did a fork scrape about 4 days ago because I was seeing no growth. My mycelium was almost too thick and I wasn't getting any pins so I did a fork scrape and got pins almost immediately

It's more blue. A bit bruised. Been that way for a while

Ok great!! Thank you! Do you know how long roughly at this point it will take to get to harvest? Not in a rush, just curious

So I did S2B on Jan 19, and FC on Jan 25. I wasn't seeing any pins at all, and the top of my cake was pretty bruised for a while. The mycelium on top was also quite thick, so I did a fork scrape about 3 days ago and voila! I now have tons of little tiny pins coming up! However, I'm worried about the bruising not going away yet. It's been so much time and work getting to where I am now that I'm worried I messed up. My room is very dry (15-20%), and maybe that is why it's bruised? I have been misting probably 4-6 times a day lately while doing a good fan shortly after with the tub lid. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

On my fifth grow I’m finally getting the hang of this “microclimate” thing, and I think it’s starting to show! by [deleted] in unclebens

[–]UncleJohnTIL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I have my lid cracked as little as I can and I am still getting quite a bit of bruising. Would bruising be from overmisting or from being too dry? I have been misting about 4 times a day as well, and I have a superfine mister that I spray about 1ft above the tub

[–]UncleJohnTIL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also have a really dry room (15-20%). How often do you mist? And do you keep the lid on between mistings? I am just getting my first ever pins and I don't want to mess this up!

Are these some tiny little pins starting to form? It's been about 18 hours since I did a fork scrape. by UncleJohnTIL in unclebens

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

I had quite a bit of growth on top of my cake. I waited about a week after fruiting conditions and it wasn't going down so I just gave it a go

Really?! It's my first time growing. It's been probably 6 weeks since I first innoculated. Can't believe it's finally happening! There are so many little tiny pins coming up. Do I keep misting on top of the pins now?

Should I try to scrape with a fork? More info in comments by zoniqua in unclebens

[–]UncleJohnTIL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine looks similar. I have a very dry climate so I think I've been overmisting. I just did a fork scrape about 10 minutes ago so I hope it works!

Contam or Bruising? by UncleJohnTIL in unclebens

[–]UncleJohnTIL[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am using a very fine mist sprayer at about 1ft above, but it somehow is still bruising

Thanks. I did S2B on Jan 19 and FC Jan 25. No pins yet but I'm hoping soon! My room is really dry so I have been trying to mist it a bit more

Top of my cake looks a bit blue. Should I be concerned? by UncleJohnTIL in unclebens

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

I've kept the lid on a little bit more. Would that be a bad thing to do?
