You consuming straight up or in chocalate, tea, etc?

Use cakes and when you get that move to something more difficult.

I am not sure if I will ever be ready for 7. We mixed some mexi albinos and equadors new years and WOW is all i can say! We all consumed about 3g's and it was plenty.

Thanks dude

you are the best!!!

How may grams is a usual dose in your opinion?

PW? How far up this tub are the holes?

What are you using for RH?

I have this container with the "poor man pod" set up and I have 2 7/8 holes on the short sides and about 7 1/4 holes on the long sides. They are filled with poly fill and my RH is staying 99%.

So i guess I need to cut two holes on each long side much bigger?

What handles the FAE?

Do I need a fan or does it just do it with the polyfil?

If you dont mind give me a detailed FC tek for my first casing....

Thanks for the help!

Thos ellok great man I am jealous!!!! I am trying hard but they dont look like yours.

That growth in question is a deep blue..... 

I know i know!!!! I threw them out and only have 4 cakes left, they may fruit one more time. I was just trying to learn all i could. Again, it is hard to just get rid of them but i am sure it is for the best. I am messing with new FC and trying a different route for my next grow.

I have another question on a different subject, can i post it here?

WBS and/or popcorn? Spawn to substrate first and then case or just a straight  to 60/40 case. I have read so damn much i have confused myself!

Sure send pics. I bought everything today to build a new tub. Rubbermaid, airwands, pump, etc. I wash going to switch to expanded clay. I will keep trying until i get it right.

  Ok guys try these. I know to throw these out but i am trying to learn as much as possible with my first grow. Again, thanks for all your help!




other cake that has the same problem


mutant?


any suggestions on conditions and enviroment greatly appreciated!!!






Notice the hydrometer and the 80-88% RH. PW this is the problem i have been talking about in the other post?

  PW, Baph, Sin??? Can you guys tell if this is contam or bruising? The pics suck sorry. I know Baph "when in doubt" but damn it is hard to throw them out after all this work (start of 2nd flush). Notice the inverted shroom on the right(the cap is next to the cake). Is that normal or just some freak???

Thanks guys for all your help!!











If i need to post better pics let me know...

excuse the "dumb" newbie question.

What is the advantage of using the LC say in stead of WBS?

Do you colonize a casing with LC? Is it faster slower?

Seriously I am trying to learn so if these questions are completely ignorant please excuse me.

I calibrated its 75%
cakes are on foil  directly on the perlite
I am new but can get anything to work with so all suggestions appreciated


Thanks PW for all your input. I am going to experiment with the wire because they are sitting on foil on the perlite. They are almost spent so I will mess with it and try to get it up for my casing that should be ready in the next week or two. I appreciate all your help, time, and expertise!! Thanks

PS i think i am hooked on this hobby!!

I have 6 1/2 pint cakes and 1 pint cake. The surface area is the same size as the bottom of the aquarium about 16 by 24 inches. I am fanning 3 times a day for FAE. I am spraying the sides and the perlite every so often. I am pulling my hair out over this, tonight it is 88%.

Would the low RH cause the small caps and huge stems?

  I have a 10 gallon aquarium with an entire bag of perlite and it is about 4 inches thick. I wet it down and used the strainer method. The temp is 72-75 in the FC. The seal is good and the hydrometer is working fine but I cant get the RH above 85. Any ideas on how to up it? Just add more perlite? I am getting huge stems and very small caps

Thanks in advance!!!

   ok guys i am ready to case these. Do i shake the jar first or just crumble over the bottom  layer ? Thanks for your help!

what did you case with?

 About how long do you guys think before these are ready?

Any ideas on why the one in the right seems slower?

They were shaken two days ago. What would a veteran suggest a newbi case with for the first time? Any links to a good casing tek?

THANKS!!!

OK guys I am new to this hobby and have a few questions. I used the PF TEK, BRF cakes, with and Ecuador strain. Inoculated cakes 10-21 (pretty sure I added too much water and caused slow colonization). These cakes were dunked and rolled, FC temp 75-78, pretty sure RH is high, They were birthed 12-3.



I read somewhere that if you had moisture on all 4 sides and the lid you were around 100% RH. I bought a gauge and it will not get above 90%. Could it be wrong?


The cakes have a very rapind white growth that does not look like any other pics i have seen before. Is this contam or just the MIC taking over the dry verm? Notice in the pic that it looks like small cottom balls.



Here are a few extra pics just to see if i am being paranoid or if this is all normal. Thanks in advance for answers, advice, and criticism. Love the site!!
