Title: Got White Whats next I'm a newbie
Post by: boatman on December 24, 2010, 04:58:48 AM
my bags are fully white, incubating at 79-84 F ( took 8-10 days is all )Do I begin 4-12 hours/day of 5500 k light at 70-75F or wait for pins to develop?

I want to thank all involved for your help . I can not believe I found this forum and how helpful everyone is . I am still doing bags but just ordered my jars, vermiculite , br rice flour etc . Setting up my new incubator etc . I have to "hide" my "lab" from family . That sucks . Thanks. HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL  "BOATMAN "a newbie

Not sure about the bags, but swounds like you should start to case now, wich would envolve Peat, VERM, Oyster Shells,&  Lime complete darkness and around 80-85 temp... but i'm not sure how your going to be getting them to pen though,never done the bags....

They are in the MYCO bags . Went completely white in 7-10 day's @ 80-85 F . I lowered temp to 70-75 and have added 6-12 hours/day of 5500 K light . It looks promising until I can start my P-Tek in next few weeks . Hope I am on track. My readings tell me to wait until I have shrooms then open bag and harvest what is grown , close back up and wait until more are ready to pick. Should continue harvesting for 3+ weeks . Others have gotten 30 grams or more per bag . That is what I have read .

Are these kit bags? Do they have filter patches? How did you inoculate them? Still curious what you are using as a substrate in the bags, too!
