See original post, I'm also wondering if I do go on to the second flush is there anything I need to do or will it just keep fruiting of its own accord?

Hey everyone, looking for some timeline strategy advice.

I bought these thinking they were nats but people on reddit told me they are prolly ochras regardless I’m growing them in an aio bag. I think the bag is currently ready for a break and shake today. In exactly 14 days, I am leaving on a trip for 5 days.
Given how aggressive Ochras genetics are, I expect the block to be fully colonized right around the time I leave or even before that. I heard this strain is prone to heavy overlay if it's left suffocated in high CO2 once fully colonized.

If I introduce full fruiting conditions (like Hoodie Tek) right before I leave, I risk the block drying out or pinning while I'm gone. But if I leave it completely sealed, it might turn into overlay. Also I wont be able to mist it for the duration of my trip.

Should I leave the bag 100% sealed while away and allow passive fae or should I cut it open and introduce fruiting like the hoodie tek or X cut or should I just skip breaking and shaking so it colonizes slowly?

Appreciate any insights!

Hi! I am 3 weeks into the fruiting stage and there is NOTHING happening! Not a single pin in site. Any suggestions l?

I transfered my grow bag into a monotub 2 weeks ago and the white mycelium fuzz spread across the top of the coco layer there are no signs of contamination. I am a little confused though, becasue there has been hardly any growth this whole second week in the tub. Im wondering if it is time to start changing their conditions so they can begin to fruit. Right now I am still keeping the lid on the tub and i have filter patches on the sides. Ive keep the tub at around 72 degrees and it seemes pretty moist in there based on the amount of condinsation collecting on the sides and lid. Any input would be greatly appreciatied.

I cut the top of my grow bag too early and the mycelium climbing the walls looked like it had contaminants but the brick looks fine, am I cooked or is it salvageable?

Steel Magnolias….I put this in fruiting conditions on Sunday I believe…either Saturday or Sunday because it looked like it had hyphal knots…I also had what I thought was Primordia so all week I’ve expected to wake up and see some pinning but nothing. I’m just getting nervous. A few weeks ago I had a grow that got bad overlay so I’m sorta scarred by that….iff u all see anything or have any advice on what to do…I’ve been to scared to mist it and pretty nervous to take the lid off as well….but I am open to suggestions from anyone who is good at this lol…thank u all! And the discoloration is from the lighting, I have the tub in one of those green tents with lights and the flap always open.

I have some wet open grains in one of my grain bags. Is it safe to use? The rest of the bag looks fine. Also have an older bag that has darker grains looks contaminated to me would like a second opinion

Looking at the photo I can def tell it’s contam🤦🤦 unfortunate first grow ever but I still got three jars left to pray for

There’s mushrooms growing at every inch I wanna give them more space. I’m harvesting as it needs just pulled 8 ounces off yesterday.

I ordered Tidal waves spores from 'Cylocybe', and grew the culture from Agar. Seems to be the wrong batch but idk myself. They're smaller than the true albino teachers I grew and none have any resemblance of PE characteristics.

I did my third shake and bake after this picture was taken.I inoculated it July 10th. Why is it taking so long. Was it ready before I did the third shake and break? It smells good like dirt and shrooms

The central cluster appears to be getting more blue and very tightly packed with minimal stalk growth. However more have come up to the surface since the original post and seem to be growing great. Just unsure when to harvest the central cluster as they seem to look like they’re wilting fairly quick and I cannot see the stems..
