That PH meter is cheap and inaccurate. Its worth the investment to buy a more expensive model. I used the same one your using for my first grow and I believe that's a reason why I struggled was due to the PH never being correct. Good luck!
It doesnt seem like the bluing is getting any worse. Do you think I should just pick off the blueish pins and let the rest of them that arent blue keep going? Because I am pretty sure that all the bluing was due to too much moisture because the day I found them all blue was when they had...
I came home to find water pooled on top of every cake and a blueish color on and around all or most of my pins! I got the excess water up with a paper towel but as for the shrooms i dont know what to do. Someone please let me know whats up with em and if theyre contamed or not! Thanks
I think I see my first few pins on one of my cakes, but they are still very tiny right now. Hopefully more will be showing up shortly. Ill post pictures soon when they get a little bigger.
As for a bulk grow, the only reason I would be starting with cakes is because I dont have a pressure...
Yesterday, i saw this forming on one of my cakes. its like fuzzy white mycelium i think that is like growing off the side of the cake. I read somewhere that it is a sign that I should see pins fairly shortly. Is that correct. Im sorry I cant really describe it much better so just look at the...
Yes, i do agree with you both. This method really has been a lot of waiting around and in the end ill probably end up with maybe 5 or 10 grams dry if that. I have about 4 CC's of spores left in my syringe and after this i do want to try some sort of bulk substrate grow but for the time being i...
Thanks a lot for your response SSHZ, its very reassuring to know im on a good track. 2 of the cakes had reached 100% colonization and then had over a week after that before i birthed them. it was only one that i birthed maybe a little too soon. And i really hope they dont take 3 weeks to pin...
Hello all, this is my first time attempting to grow some B+ mushrooms. the spores were purchased from ralphsters spores a few months back. I inoculated them and all 3 jars colonized with no contams. 2 of the jars took about 4 weeks to colonize and the other one took even longer at about 5 and a...
Good afternoon everyone. Last night I went ahead and harvested Mary, the plant that was topped. She was a few days away from 8 weeks flowering. Everything went pretty well. Since I thought Jane could use a few more days flowering, I made a make-shift drying box out of a cardboard box with a PC...
Thanks for your interest. Next grow will be Northern Lights again. Its a really nice strain for stealth growing because its almost ready to harvest and the smell is still very minimal. I would highly recommend it.
Hello all, today marks week 7 of flowering. 2 days ago I chopped off a very small bud off a lower branch of Mary (the topped plant). The wet weight was 1.5 grams. I then quick dried it for a few hours in an envelope on top of the lights in the box. I over dried it and then weight went down do...
I am not sure what the spots are from. But I believe that I have struggled throughout the entire grow due to too small pots, not checking the ph enough, and possibly other things I am unsure of. Yeild I am hoping for at least a quarter ounce but that is a complete guess. Hopefully it will be...
