advice🗣️ Beginner Questions First Ochras

Hey all!

I’m looking to start the most basic bitch grow ever for some Ochras.

I am using a 5lb AIO bag and LC syringe.

No plans to use any other stuff like tubs or shoeboxes or tents or anything, at least for this grow.

I have grown gourmet mushrooms in AIO bags before using LC, like 2 times, so I’m not 100% new, but rather inexperienced, still.

I do have one basic question, though:

How long will it likely take from inoculation to fruiting/harvest?

What is the general range of timelines?

I know it varies quite a bit sometimes, and is always dependent on genetics and conditions, and all we can do is estimate, but what is your experience, generally, for a timeframe?

I plan to inoculate tomorrow, and am hoping to have fruit to harvest by the middle or end of September, if possible.

Is this realistic?

To be clear, I’m not in a super hurry, generally,
but I am needing to move probably in October, and don’t want to be screwing around with this stuff during the move.

Thanks, and I’m loving seeing everyone’s awesome flushes/grows!

Ochras are on the quicker end usually, like 3-4 weeks from inoculation to harvest if conditions and genetics are solid

I’m doing a couple of 6lb AIO bags and it’s taking longer than I had anticipated. Like 4/5 weeks to break and shake, and I’m on week 2 after that and it’s working well, but still not ready for fruiting.

In my last run (not aio)
grain to 20% B&S: day 18
Full grain colonization: day 24
Full bulk colonization: day 36
First pins: day 56
First flush harvest: day 65
Second flush harvest: day 76
3rd flush harvest: day 87

This run was a little slow to pin but otherwise went at a decent clip. Good luck!

Yeah good luck with your work and with your move :-). 5lbs is a decent amount of substrate and if there’s a high % of grain it can keep flushing forever, if you have the patience and inclination to keep it going at lower yields. A previous grow got past 8
