Thanks guys! They are fun to grow and so much faster than our MJ. It gives me something to do while the plants grow :).

So is there any kind of expected yield from these?

Say you colonize a 16oz jar. Do you expect that a certain size cake will produce X # of grams? or is it kind of a crap shoot? From what I have been reading, it seems that people get more yield on the 2nd or 3rd flush, does that usually hold true in your experience? Sorry if these are silly questions, I'm just now getting my feet wet. thanks!

Strain, substrate, and enviroment all play a part in the end result much like MJ. In my experience my 2nd and 3rd flushes have been similar, to each other with larger fruits than the 1st flush.

Nice grow man
how much did all shrooms weight?

Which ones? I haven't picked the ones in the recent photo. Once these blocks and tubs finish I will have around 18 to 20 zips dried from 6 bags and 4 small tubs over the last 3 months, plenty to last a very long time. This was just for fun and only personal, 1/2 of it will be powered and made into .5g gel caps and the other half just dry and waiting.

They were fairly easy to grow, grow bags were the quickest and easiest for me. The blocks were started in grow bags and moved to the greenhouse once their first flush began.

Nice looking shrooms. I've been thinking of growing some out myself. How long does the whole process take? from gathering all your materials, spores, etc to having ready to eat shrooms? I see you have 3 strains growing, which one is your favorite?

Personally I am not into shrooms these were just for the wifey, of course I went overboard as a hobby and will soon shut it down. Trust me she has plenty to last awhile. She likes the Penis Envy best, it is fast and strong for 4 to 5 hours, very visual. She says the only real difference is the length of the B+ and TC are 6 to 8 hours and slightly less potent for the same 2.5g, she prefers the shorter experience.

From spore to fruit is roughly 2 months, then the extra flushes come 7 to 14 days later. I started with pre-made rye berry spawn bags spawned to pre-made compost substrate and just fruited in the bags (invitro), bags were from ebay. This was the easiest and fastest way to get some fruits in the beginning but I am getting at least 3x the fruits with doing small shoebox tubs instead of bags. Total start up cost for 4 spores (they sent a 5th bonus), 3 rye spawn bags, and 3 substrate bags was about $100 and gave me 3+ oz's dried, roughly an oz per bag dried.

I have a spore to fruit detailed journal on a myco site but don't know if the RIU allows me posting it here.

This was my first bag and first flush, fruits were small but gave up 11g dried and second flush was much better with FAE. Luckily small fruits are just as potent as the large ones, some say aborts are sometimes stronger too.

Penis Envy is out of the dehydrator and ready for storage. First flush from the shoebox tub is 38.2g cracker dry.
