First Shroom Grow; Mycodome V2.0 / Ecudorian Psilocybe Cubensis

KSGhost · Sep 23, 2008

Hey Everybody I had this log on a different web-site but thought I'd share it with Rollitup.com since this is the greatest web-site in the world!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey everyone the day has finaly arrived! I have both my Ecuador spores and my Mycodome kit here and ready to go!

Kit: Mycodome V2.0
---------------------------------------------
Strain: Ecuador "Psilocybe Cubensis"

Inoculation/Colonization:
Spore Syringe 10cc/Ecuador "Psilocybe Cubensis"
6 Substrate Jars
Date: 7/30/08
Temp: 84-86 Degrees
I had a bit of trouble being a first time Syringe Spore Inoculater. The syringe kept getting clogged while I was trying to inject 1cc into each substrate jar. I would keep pushing harder on the stopper and then all the sudden, here it comes. It would shoot out! I put "about 1cc" per jar and I have 6 jars. I got 1cc in each jar (not neccisarily divided evenly between all 4 inoculation holes in each jar) but I tried my best too. -definatly atleast 1cc per jar though!

Hope its ok!!! Let me know what you all think???

Set temp. guage to 84 degrees and checked it in an hour. Temp. was 91 degrees -TOO HOTT!

Turned temp. guage down to 80 degrees. Will check again in an hour and see if i can get this thing around 84-86 degrees.

82 degrees on the heater is still a little too hott. The temp was about 87.3 degrees on the temp. guage

I turned the heater down to 81 degrees and we will see if it holds the temp. guage at 84-86 degreeish.

Still trying to find that perfect temp. but no problem!

I got the temp guage balanced out to 83-84 degrees.

Its about 83.5 degrees at night and about 84 degrees in the daytime.
The heater itself is set on about 80.8 to 81 degrees.

According to a strain guide I read. My Ecuadorian mushroom substrate jars mycelium should start to show at day 7 to day 8

I still have not looked at the substrate jars since inoculation even though this is day 8

I checked the jars yesterday (8/09/08 ) and every jar except for 1 has mycelium growing! It looks clean and white! Very healthy.

wait so did you finish this log then? It's almost been two months since you inoculated your jars according to your last post. I am assuming this log does not match with real time?
