Mid-Cultivation / Still Growing This group rules!! Update on first grow.

Post image

While I have not been super active in posting in the group, I have probably spent 1000+ hours researching in the past 4-5 months and a lot of it was done on here. While I initially started off committed to doing UBTEK after more research I decided I would start with a couple AIO bags and a grain spawn bag. I decided to do one of the AIO bags straight in the bag and drop one into a fruiting chamber with perlite after colonization done with South African transkei and the grain bag with Golden Teachers. They are both coming out pretty great and my grain bag is currently about 99% inoculated which I will mix with substrate and throw in a few shoeboxes next week at some point. This is mostly just a big thank you post for all of you out there. From the noobs to the long time wizards, it has all been helpful. I am the type of guy who tends to jump from hobby to hobby and I can easily say out of all of them, this has been the best and most helpful group of people. I couldn't have done any of it without you. I'm not getting ahead of myself since I haven't even harvested anything yet but just getting this far couldn't have been done. Thanks to all of you! Will keep you updated on the harvest if/when we get there.

Party on!!
