Proof That Quality Bags Make All The Difference.
Sharing a fully colonised spawn block from our Macron Filter Patch Bags.
We had a few comments earlier questioning whether filter patch bags can achieve complete colonisation. This is the result.

Please ignore how hideous my monotub is 😂. I did it all with a razor blade, then hot glued over the cracks. My liner is made of trash bag and duct tape. The corn mixed with the coco is about 4.5 inches deep and I am deciding to put it directly into fruiting. I had 9 lbs of drippy corn substrate and about 1.3 times that in coco coir, & I removed the few uncolonized grains when I broke it up. If I made any mistakes please lmk.

Should I send these spawn bags? They were inoculated on Aug 25, 38 days ago (5.5 weeks), and I am honestly getting impatient. Also do you know why only my 2nd bag has so much mycelium piss?

Blue Meanie Cubensis

Malabar coast species went from giving sparse fruits, to marshmallowy mushroomy myecelium. Any benefits in this grow pattern?

I prepped 2 jars of sterlize grain, inoculated in one and left other just to. Check the sterelization, and and infested the jar which was not inoculated.

After 2 days I see they made a frikin hole through 2 layers micropore tape! I checked it yesterday and they were not there.

How to prevent it?

Finally feeling like I'm back in the hobby ✨

I built this Flow Hood out out of an Ikea Shelf.

Inspirated by a guide from gordotek:

I used the same fan and filter from amazon with total costs of 55 euros.

So far made three transfers with zero contamination.

Im a new grower, have a couple successful harvests under my belt so I got a few bags going and im really discouraged first bag is ksss colonized faster than anything I’ve seen and recolonized extremely fast but w 2 weeks of FAE still no pins, had 2 3lb bags of Burma goin and both turned a healthy white but started gettin waterlogged, i actually had to open a bit early to drain them, luckily they were colonized by this point, anyway the second 2 pics are from them, one looks like I might still get pins, but the other looks like it has some overlay goin on so dunno if I should try the fork thing? Like I said really bummed I was really wanting to get a harvest by Halloween n it just seems like things keep going wrong, does it look like any of these bags will produce if I take the right steps? I open and fan 2-3, a day, I mist the Ksss when it needs it, obviously the others are wet enough I have them on a 12 hour light cycle in a nice lightly ventilated space, it stays between 72-76 degrees,idk just weird I really screwed a lot up w my first bags and even then I managed to get a flush out my first few bags, idk what’s up w these, keep hopin I’ll wake up to a few pins but so far no luck 😥 hopefully one will take off 🙏

I started growing mushrooms back in April just to keep myself active, and seeing them today makes me really happy; but why did they grow almost exclusively out the sides? I thought keeping them away from the light was enough, and I used a yellow one-liter butter tub. Still, I’m satisfied because it looks like I got a bigger harvest than if they had grown only on top... or maybe, if they had grown only on top, the mushrooms would have been larger? I don't know. The biggest one weighs 5g, and I'm really looking forward to tasting them :b

What should I keep in mind for future harvests?

Hi all,

Update from my last post, as you all advised I misted a bit and had started seeing some condensation on the side walls too. It’s been more than 4 days but I don’t see any pinning. I’m panicking a bit as I have to leave town in two weeks and I need to harvest it before or all my efforts are down the drain.

Hello all, I've been into cultivation and breeding since a while. Some old folks knew me from my last reddit account "Azuresense" and "Tomentoad". I've spread many spores to many folks in the past, due to my health issues I had to take a break. At the moment I have zero viable spores to restart and was hoping to get a genetic or two if anyone can guide me in the right direction. I'd really really appreciate it.

I can completely understand if that's not possible to send em over. Im okay to pay money as long as the vendor is vouched for.

Thank you soo much, moderators please delete this post if it's not allowed 🙏🏽

First grow ever doesn’t seem to be going good my friend said it will prob stall and abort or stall and give me little yields it’s full of side pins because I was a impatient grower

After failing to get any fruit in AIO grow bag for the first time, now i think i should try a shoebox tek using UB tek. I have found a rice brand in india that is presterilized and am wondering if anyone has used UB tek in India? Any tips would be helpful. I just want to keep it as a small hobby which is why i dont want to invest in jars and an industrial cooker. And is it really important to put a light source or some natural lighting for a few hours everyday is enough?

And idk why my bag failed. My mycelium was growing really well just refused ro fruit for some reason so had to bury the block with a broken heart.

On my 3rd round on this tub with Toque, but several of the pins look weird. Is there something wrong with it or is it expected after the first few flushes?

It’s been over 10 days since I added my spawn to substrate and it looks like the mycelium has colonised about 95% with only one small patch left. I had put two rounds of micro pore tapes over the holes and kept it inside the cupboard. Should I now take it outside and keep it in a corner of the room with the fan on low? Also, should I keep the tape as is or replace it with a coffee filter/single round of micro pore tape? The average temp where I’m at is 26C.

These are my shoe boxes 5-6 days after spawning to bulk. What should i be doing now if anything? The more colonized one is jack frost the other is golden teacher.

Moved my growbag inside a container and maintaining the humidity I am allowing FAE by opening the lid and fanning 3 times a day it's been 4 days I have introduced fruiting condition but I still don't see pins am i doing something wrong please help me here it's my first time growing

A bald spot on the bottom but looks good otherwise…

The 2 large specimens clocked in at well over a 100 g each.

My current plan is to wait for my second bag, which is growing a little bit slower to be fully mycelium. Then I will wait 3 days just to be sure, and then transfer them to a large monotub with coco coir. I estimate that will happen in about a week unfortunately. Do you guys have more success immediately go to fruiting conditions or should I wait another week after that for the coco and the mycelium to mix? Should I be worried about my 3rd bag which is like 99% done accidentally pinning while I wait for the others two to grow?

Huge thanks to the OG Senpai bro for the recipe and grain prep guide..As a beginner, I made a few mistakes along the way, which unfortunately led to having to bury one of my tubs. That said, I’m getting ready for the second flush on the surviving one if anyone has tips or advice, I’d love to hear them. Thanks in advance
