    Looks great.  Please fold that flap up so it works as a mini green house for micro climate if possible.  It will be useful for the first 48 hours, before you need to pull it back away from touching mushroom caps as they get bigger.

    So, I remembered from our first grow kit that we had a window cracked in the room we had the kit in. So I cracked the window to exchange some air. Just did it this morning. First morning after cutting

    It can tolerate and even benefit from high C02 at this early stage, until caps start to develop.  The biggest risk now is allowing the baby pins to dry out and abort.  Remember to give it at least 3 sprays per day.

    1 full day since cutting plastic.  What were once little white blurbs are now dark pins .  There are 2 spots forming but these little guys seem to be dominant for sure.  We flipped the bag on its side cause they are super low on the cut and figure they will grow toward the bottom. Start of pins

    Perfect!  Make sure the baby pins don’t contact the plastic or dry out!

     

    You got this.

     

    Great start!

    That is a great start.  Those baby Italians have grown so mush since yesterday!  They will double in size again over the next 24 hours.  Great job so far.  How often do you find you need to spray them then with water to keep them perfect like that?

    We are misting 3 times a day. Once in the am when we wake up, once mid afternoon, and once before bed.  About 3 sguirts each session.

    Looking great.  Less water is needed now.  Less water will let them breath better.  Pet the Mushrooms before watering.  If they feel cool, delay the spray.  You are just 2 or 3 days away from your optimal 12 hour harvest window.  Great job on these Italian Oysters!

    Quick question..this little cluster of friends joined the party late.  Do we let them vibe and see how it goes or abort to save the energy for the main guests? Unexpected guests
