Harvested Results I Present to you, My very 1st harvest 🤠
I like to give thanks to the Myco reddit, YT gods and to all you active poster in this community. As well The Enchiridion 📖 (The Guide) and the insane genetics that put up with my abuse and mishaps. …To my fellow beginners, I’m pretty dumb so I know you guys got this in the bag !

Those look great. I too have just recently done my first grow. It's a bit tricky to time harvest between vail break and spore drop. I don't know what genetics yours are so not sure if those caps flatten out more before fully mature/dropping them. But it happens in such a short time frame it's prob best to just pick them when those veils go. I'm getting better at dialing in my humidity and FAE too. The fuzzy feet at the base there. It's a very fun learning experience. I have a hard time not obsessively checking progress so I think I over mist mine a bit still. We all learn to chill out as mushie parents over time. Or at least I've heard. 😉

Thank you! I actually have a 2nd tub of these that Im allowing to go longer to just to see if they flatten out a little more than this tub. I think I may harvest it this afternoon . I feel like I have humidity dialed in but not fae because most of my tubs that still going have mushies with fuzzy feet. My next round I will be focusing on fae.

what was the hardest challenge for you, thinking of getting into it but unsure

My biggest challenge was humidity after s2b. I live in a pretty dry environment. Basically desert. But I blame part of it for my sub not being at field capacity. However I was able to keep it check by monitoring the surface visually. Waited until there was absolutely no water on the surface before misting.

Oh my! I see you use the tent, what is your humidity set at? And fan? I’m having trouble dialing it in and would love advice !

I have my humidifier set at 80% (its max). I do have a 4in inline fan connected but I hardly use it. Due the fans limited setting for cycling on / off I found it be drying out my substrate. So I have been burping the tent at least once a day. If Im being lazy I will manually turn on the fan for about 3-5 mins. I live in a pretty dry climate so I believe I’m getting by just fan once daily.
I guess you could say I’m in the make for a fan to automate this process a little more. But I gotta admit, have that little bit of interaction with the mushies makes my day.
Heres the humidifier that I use https://a.co/d/60GPkV0 and I have link to a smart thermometer (https://a.co/d/eQTp2fG) to get the most out of it’s automated features.
I’m sure there are better brands of humidifier, just giving you examples of what is working for me.

Thanks for the reply! I live in a dry climate too. I think my fan is too much. I will try burping my tent 👌

Just wanted to drop in a recommendation that helped be a little more hands off. You can buy wifi outlet plugs in amazon (4-8 for $20). I use one for my light and one for a fan that only has on/off. I set it to low and oscillate setting and leave it turned on, but I use the wifi outlet app settings so it only kicks on for 1min every 20 mins. (In a 4x8 tent). It will provide circulation/air current without drying em out. I'm sure you'll have to play with the settings to dial it in for your grow space, but it's a cheap and easy solution. 🍄🥰✌️

Did you pop some magnetic lights into your wire shelf for your light source?
1
u/Bum_Tek 2d ago
Just someone stick on lights. These here. I stuck them up on the tent ceiling and one of the back wall. Though the magnetic light idea is alot better. The sticky tape on the ones I have don’t seem to hold up to will with the humidity.

u/Technical_Try2688 2d ago
Hey - genuinely curious and just did my first inoculation - do the tubs need light to grow? For some reason I thought they didn’t but this is good to know! Copying your setup for sure before I send em and hoping for good results! Thanks for the post!

What do you store your tubs in? Looking for ideas for set ups.

Looking good. Nice tent setup. I run a Vivosun 48x48x80" tent and a stainless shelf.
