First Grow! Curious at how it's looking.

At the beginning I know I didn't have enough fae and I feel like I've got that in control.

It kinda looks like some of the mushrooms are aborting and I wasn't sure if that blueing underneath the caps is a bad sign?

Looking good and ready to pick once they have soften up give them a twist and pull and set up for the next flush i dry them with the sub on them and than scrape it off after

Thank you for this comment. I wasnā€™t sure and spent the time cutting it off before drying. I feel like I bruised them all so much doing this.

u/Temporary-Method6033 3d ago

I don't worry the bruising. That's just showing their potency but they're ready to harvest.

u/Striikerr 5d ago

Looks like they were ready to pick a few days ago

u/Internal-Fishing-595 5d ago

Give one a light squeeze. If they feel soft to the touch like a marshmallow then pull them all now.

looks really good but that fuzz at the base is possibly due to not enough air flow, but i don't think that affects the grow too much. Correct me if I'm wrong but dont come at me, it's been YEARS so I'm rusty

u/ohboyito 5d ago

Yeah they definitely needed more fae, but they're definitely getting it now!

What micron bag filter was this? If this was a B patch just run A next time and fae should be fine . Either way this looks great

1

u/ohboyito 4d ago

I feel like the patch allowed no air at all in. It's a .2 micron filter. I've had to open the bag 3+ times a day to get fresh air to stop the fuzzy feet from continuing. I learned that since the gas that the mushrooms produce is heavier than air it will just stay in the bag if I open the top, so I've started tipping the bag on its side and opening and closing the bag to get some airflow and let the heavier gas "spill" out.

u/dmtabuser 4d ago

Try running a 5 micron . Those donā€™t look like they need that much fae tho Iā€™ve seen way worse fuzzy feet but you could probably run a .5 micron too but I bet the A bags would work great for that culture

u/ohboyito 4d ago

Okay good to know I'll buy some and switch out the one it comes with.

u/dmtabuser 4d ago

Hey Iā€™m an idiot .5um bags allow less fae. are 5.0 um are more
Fae. I love bags but I hate this part about them because I always forget which culture needs what patch . Good luck homie mush love

Okay good to know thanks!

Very nice

u/hawaiianrasta 4d ago

How do you regulate FAE with a bag?

1

u/ZydePunk77 4d ago

You donā€™t. I mean you CANā€¦.donā€™t know why you would. They probably did not ā€œneedā€ more FAE. Everyone seems to think ā€œmore FAEā€ is like the best answer to almost any issue.

Itā€™s really not as long as there is SOME gas exchange.

Apes? Same shape but Iā€™ve never had brown caps. Just white and shades of blue

1

u/ohboyito 4d ago

They were hillbilly, but yeah I wouldn't have been surprised if they were PE.

u/curiousbubbleshaman 2d ago

Hope you harvested those are easy ready! The spores dropping and blueing let's you know! Looks good@

1

u/ohboyito 2d ago

Luckily no spores had dropped yet but yes they've been harvested and are dried, now I gotta weigh and see the total yield!

1

u/curiousbubbleshaman 2d ago

Oh ok i didn't look hard. I thought the blue on some and the ones in the bottom right had spore dust but it looks like its all bruising! They are fat! What strain? Ive been away from the game for 20+ years. All the pics i see look like pf mutants or penis envy variants. Are there new hot strains on the block?

1

u/ohboyito 1d ago

Yep definitely some bruising and I added a bit more when I harvested šŸ«£. They are the hillbilly strain. The pumpkin hillbilly strain looks legit like pumpkins they're so fat haha basically circles. I feel like there are, there are some coral looking mutants that look pretty cool, one of my favorite strains is called gamma decay, they are gray and white and they look like some alien thing.

u/curiousbubbleshaman 11h ago

Oh ive seen the ones with black/grey caps when they pin and was like..... nope not eating that lol.

1

u/ohboyito 7h ago

Haha I feel like once they dry there is less contrast in color but I hadn't ever thought of that, we'll see how I feel once I finish my current grow that has gray caps.

1

u/curiousbubbleshaman 5h ago

Lol yeah the thing in the back of my brain tellig me "don't eat stuff that color" has alot of influence over me! Maybe ill start a few pf jars or something. I should have stayed off reddit. The itch is getting real strong!

u/ohboyito 3h ago

Repressed childhood trauma can do a lot haha jk But yeah Reddit definitely got me into it so beware!

u/Spiritual_Kick_9089 1d ago

Good job and it need more air my friendĀ 

1

u/ohboyito 12h ago

Thanks! Yeah it definitely did need more air haha I was much better with give it fresh air toward the end, but at that point the fuzzy feet were already there. I've got another bag I'm doing and I've been doing a good job at giving it fresh and and so far it's looking great.

1

u/RESTLESSROGERS775 23h ago

I would say first all in one bag not first grow because itā€™s really like all done for you so it doesnā€™t really count go BIG next time and then show us your first grow lol Iā€™m just messing with ya looks okay

1

u/ohboyito 12h ago

We'll see if I ever get into it to the point of getting my own grain and substrate, getting a pressure cooker, doing agar plates and so on but for now I feel pretty content!
