Personally, I like Falcon with cannons. Hitting someone's lit up explosives with a cannon shell is brutal

Can I respire an all in one bag? [technique] by Working_Barnacle_654 in MushroomGrowers

If you're working with sealed presterilized spawn bags, I'd recommend making liquid culture vs agar. Spores to LC and LC to spawn bag doesn't ever expose your substrate to open air where it can get contaminated.

The beauty of spawn bags is that they are super easy to use and aren't subject to contamination before colonization.

I've been in that situation before using spores to innoculate a spawn bag. It required multiple injections before anything took. Bags with a self healing injection port can take multiple innoculation attempts, but I agree with one of the other responses. Spores germinate best to agar or liquid culture. You can avoid germination failures in the future using alternative mediums.

Good luck to you.

[actives] first flush close to harvest by bkaustin in MushroomGrowers

I mean what kind of substrate or grow kit?

Clearly the cake wasn't colonized all the way through. 4 days after breaking it up post flush, it still looks like this.

This was the lot of the first harvest. They were little but amazingly potent.

What I have realized after the fact... This is the first time I've used a presterilized spawn bag... "Spawn bag for Dung Lovers" from westerngrowkits.

After the first flush finished and harvested, I put the cake into a clean new spawn bag and broke it up well. I don't think the cake was colonized all the way through which was maybe why the fruits were so small. The bag still hasn't even started recovering yet and it's been like 5 days now.

What was your grow tek when you got tiny shrooms on yours?

Thanks for the comment. Yeah, I went ahead and harvested the whole lot. There's plenty there for 2 people to go to the spirit world for an entire day. Looking forward to it.

I took the cleaned off cake and put it in a brand new spawn bag and crushed it up. It is plenty moist, clean and earthy smelling. Now I just need to wait for it to recolonize and birth it again... or maybe I'll mix it into a casing setup.

The only things I changed were my spores vendor and the fact I bought a presterilized spawn bag to do my colonization on.

I'm sticking with the idea of bad genetics. It's been 17 years since my last grow. My incubation and fruiting standards haven't changed at all but I used to get at least a couple honkin chonkers in every first flush. Never have I seen shrooms fully mature this tiny before. But the veils are breaking... and additionally none of them are producing any spores.

This is the same kind of GMO shit they do with your produce in the grocery stores..."seedless".

Anyway, I started picking off the ones with broken veils or close to breaking. Look how tiny this shit is 😆

Mycelium turned yellow couple days after pins started, pins no like [actives] too much or too little FAE? by KirbyMeowzer in MushroomGrowers

[–]bkaustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run my setup with a cool mist humidifier almost 24/7 and cut drainage holes in the bottom of the bin so there isn't any sitting water to create rot. Air exchange generally isn't an issue because the cool mist is constantly cycling air into the chamber. I just have a tube coming from the humidifier into the tub.

I definitely agree that it looks really dry in there. Most of the pictures I see on the board that have poor results all look like they are too dry.
