BlackHash's Mushroom Grow Journal

Learn something new every day. I hope it's nothing man, it sucks when you lose jars

Yeah man

But I'm definitely not doing PF tek anymore, it takes so long and it doesn't even come close to bulk tubs.
My WBS jars colonized in less than half the time it took these jars that are just now finishing.

I constructed a mushroom dryer, and posted a tutorial in this section

I'm going to check that out, I need one xD

happened to a few of my jars.just metabolites.myc piss. whatever you wanna call it.

I love the fresh smell of mushrooms in the morning!
Whew the first time opening the FC of the day, smells so mushroomy and earthy.

Well guys, today marks Day 7 since cased. I think I see some knots forming, and I took a picture of them , tell me what you think!

These pictures are the pictures of my tray, one with flash, another without.


Now here is what I think are the knots, what do ya think?


Questions/comments? Post em up guys.

Nice. I've never done this stuff before. But, I'm glad you and Bwp are posting this shit. It'll make it easier for me in the future.

Easy as PIE man... I just started a PF-Tek Grow and love this hobby. btw nice avatar (IIRC that is a Facebook photo from a chick in Florida who got in major trouble with Child Services, If not if did happen I remember reading about it in the paper lol)

That was a different kid. I actually have that one too though.

Or maybe I'm wrong, and it's happened a lot.

Looking good man, you give me hope in my bulk grow xD

Bwpz did you already start it?
And you're going to be fine bro!

I'm hopin to see pins here in about 3 more days!!
Bet you guys can't wait for some mycoporn huh?

Naw I'm getting my rye and pressure cooker weight in this week. I can't wait to see how yours turn out

Oh you came to the conclusion that you need the pressure cooker weight?

Yeah it's not mandatory but I'm not tryna mess anything up, especially the moisture content. I'll wait a couple days to do it the right way

Dude, the spring works FINE, if you worry about moisture in your cooker, flip the lever and wait for 10 minutes or so, you would have to leave the weight off for that long anyway. There is no "right" way with weights. I wish I had a cooker with a spring attachment, I tend to misplace that weight all the time.

Yeah but I had the extra $20 so I bought it anyways, just for the personal satisfaction xD

Send me the spring mechansim.

They both go together. You put the weight on the spring mechanism.

Sorry guys forgot to upload yesteday, Ill just do 2 days today

Day 8
Not much to report today, just some pictures of the tray and an up-close of the knots

Here is the up-close of the knots

I took out my jars for a photo shoot
The second picture is them rotated 180 degrees so you can see all angles (mostly)

The front-right one is in second, with the back right one in first, obviously.
Here is an up-close of the jar in first place.

Day 9
I found out my camera has a macro setting for up-close pictures. I took a few up-close of the new knots that formed. The tray looks WAY different than it did the day before. I'm proud

Here is the tray, one with flash, one without.

Then here are a bunch of up-closes of the knots.

What do you think?
