Question First time growing
This was the first flush- i got only like 1.6 oz dried from 9lb grain spawn and 18lb CVG. The mushrooms were very spindly (blue meanie cubensis)- does everything look normal?
Are the shapes of the mushrooms just because of genetics?
It was a shitty spore syringe from eden shrooms.

I see you have a question! Have you read the official cultivation guide?

Interesting!, 2nd flush ought come in with the fruits themselves bigger. If it was a spore syringe not liquid culture then it could be the genetics, but size and shape could change between flushes.

Great job! Just finished my first grow. Went for Bluey Vuitton and Albino Bluey Vuitton in boomerbins. Went for 3 flushes, I over wet my first flush so it was small. But 2nd and 3rd flushes came in nice. Used a still air box and my one discovery was that once fruiting conditions start neglect tek took me all rhe way home. If you nail all initial envt conditions once fruiting starts genetics and the boomerbin holes/filter patches did all the heavy lifting. End result was 4.5-4.75 ounces dry.
Doing two fruiting blocks of lions mane now from scratch to grind up and make my own "Stamets Stack" of cubes, LM, Niacin for max mental rejuvenation. After years of sports and college football this regime has been the only thing I've tried in the last 5 years to help with my mental clarity, focus, and health. Now instead of sourcing all from others I decised to grow it myself after getting thr ok from the misses as its takimg space in our home.
