First grow - first pins - wooo hoo!

[Pup Tentacle]

So I had to share with someone who appreciates. I got up this morning to mist and fan my first tub of cakes ever, only to find pins forming! My fun-guys are being born! Thanks for humoring me... proud papa pictures later.

It's a great feeling. Congrats! :thumb_up:

I remember the first time I did cakes...the night I went to bed pins were all over...and by the next morning..there were little guys all over the tub!

Alright, this being my first mushroom grow ever, I'm just darned glad to have ANY mushrooms growing... that being said, I've realized and learned alot just while these guys have been fruiting. I know whatever I did it lead to wasted cake energy colonizing the verm roll and a number of other things but...

HELL MAN! IT WORKED!

So with that... a little low-class first grow - shroom porn... day 9 of fruiting btw...

First flush is only going to be 4 or 5 grams dry, but I learned a silly-big amount in that process. This pic shows about 2/3 of the fruits that were/are to be picked, a few needed until tomorrow, but the cakes are so dry that I'll just pick what's there and dunk again, hoping what I learned on the first flush...

MIST FAN MIST FAN MIST FAN MIST FAN MIST FAN MIST FAN MIST FAN MIST FAN MIST FAN MIST FAN MIST FAN MIST FAN

... pays off a little more on the second flush. Still just one big happy camper! I can't believe I never gave this a shot in college!

HOLY CRAP I GREW MUSHROOMS! (Sorry there's still an amazed teenager in this 43 yo cage, lol)

It is quite an amazing feeling, congrats on your achievement!
I felt similiar after my first grow, just that i had never even seen a magic mushroom before nor tasted one so it was kinda double the magic.

well done! made me remember my first time too...

after more than a year of not growing while focusing on extractions, I have a bunch of
jars colonizing right now... can't wait to grow again...

first flush - 5g dried - the cakes are tiny (1/4 pint) so ... HOLY CRAP I GREW MUSHROOMS! :thumb_up:

Congrats man!

Mine are starting to pin up nicely.

May your pins become towering shrooms of beautiful psychic wonderment as you sleep brother!


My mushrooms are sending your mushrooms homey love musroom vibes... ~> ~> ~> ~> ~> :d

 

[MelCat]

Haha, thanks brother!

Do you have some more cakes in the works?

 

[Pup Tentacle]

10 more started from LC coming along very nicely and I'm noccing up 6 quarts of WBS tomorrow for a bulk attempt.

Take that! Bummer dude that takes advantage of lovers of the sacred mushroom.

2nd flush starting. I had pins the day after taking them out of the dunk... pretty cool. Also, it looks like 2 will be better now that I learned a few more nooby things. Pics of my babies.

 

[SnozzleBerry]

Sounds like you're moving along nicely :thumb_up:

 

[Pup Tentacle]

There's a VERY wonderful symbiosis I feel with them. A very deep 2-way appreciation is the feeling I get.

UPDATE

Second flush done, dunking for third flush. Not huge mushies or tons of them, but plenty for my immediate needs and their potency seems to exceed that of fungus obtain through other channels (at least the channels I was watching). Some of these will be gettin'in mah belly today.

Very nice job Pup! The entire brow looks well done.

Kudos!

Looking great, Pup, congratulations Makes me want to grow again.

 

[Pup Tentacle]

Thanks. The very cool thing is, I've found a new hobby. I'm planning on growing all kinds of mushrooms to eat, for medicine, etc. I'm finding the world of fungus absolutely fascinating.

nice looks like some ecuador strain

What is the white stuff in your fruiting chamber? Did you use perlite?
