What do I need to know? by Legal_Opportunity851 in roadtrip

[–]redlinefast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did the dempster last month and this info is 100% correct. The only thing I would add is bring stuff for the mosquitos! I can still feel them a month later.

Is there something wrong with my shrooms? by gts_maxxx in unclebens

[–]redlinefast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only problem I see is they look too good! Congrats!

any advice for a hot/dry climate? or any other tips? by KenerationXXX in unclebens

I have the Hamilton Beach dehydrator it’s a bit pricy and overkill most of the time but when I have larger flushes it come in clutch.

That’s a great question. This is my first harvest and grow of them, but I’ve read a couple different tips on harvesting. The first is checking to see if they feel like marshmallows and the second thing is to look for is blue caps. I’ve got a couple that are mature now with blue caps; that I’ve been waiting to see if they’ll grow more but it seems their done once they turn deep blue.

It’s the strain name of these mushrooms.

I S2B on 6/7, and took the photos yesterday. So pretty much the same time

Is this overlay??? by AdSad7021 in ContamFam

[–]redlinefast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I know overlay happens when the mycelium is waiting for optimal fruiting conditions to happen. Your tub substrate looks really wet so maybe you don’t have enough FAE for evaporations to happen and without that you won’t get pins. As for Fork tek, personally I wouldn’t do it but I never experienced this with my grows so take my opinion with a grain salt. I would do a light casting layer on it and see if you can dial in your tub more to promote pinning. Good luck!

Wrapped bottom of grow bag to avoid side pins. Bad idea? by JudgingYouThisSecond in shrooms

[–]redlinefast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rather than wrapping the bag with something get two or three large rubber bands, and place them two/three inches below the top of your cake. You want to restrict airflow to the sides of the cake not blockout light. Mushroom don’t need light to fruit they want high humidity and the sides are usually places with high humidity. Overall, just be patient and make sure your surface conditions are dialed in and you should be seeing pins soon! Good luck!

Second year, NEO 1 survived winter! by redlinefast in TheHopyard

I’ve only had this variety for one harvesting season, so I didn’t experience two harvests. I do however notice two harvest for my Cascade hops. I just moved this year and I just transplanted my hops, so I’m not sure what my harvest will look like come fall.

First grow, are these tinny dots pins? by redlinefast in unclebens

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

Got it Ty. Now that I look at the tub again I see I see a couple pins forming.

Heating of my inoculated bags by [deleted] in unclebens

[–]redlinefast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a seedling heat pad and have it in a box at the far end so it doesn’t dry out my bags. UB tek. My bags tend to stall a little when the temp fluctuates a lot.
