Customer Reviews
Easy to work with and grew well and quickly!
The instructions were easy to understand, but not simple to follow. It took no small doing to find a clean container large enough to soak the log. If the same log were cut in half and sent as two smaller logs, it would easily fit into common kitchen equipment - and be easier to find space for. Don't tell mom what I did with her large baking pan (ssshhhh!).
I got a very small first flush (6 caps), and, when they came, they started off coming out at the bottom of the log. I turned it over, and they seem happier now. I did accidentally (once) mist with a dilute orchid food solution. Is that the problem or something else? Do they need more light? Was my jumbo-sized zip-lock back not enough clean water for the soak? The caps I got are beautiful and tasty. I'll try more light, and no orchid food, on my second flush. I'll see if I can find a clean enough 5-gallon bucket for the soak.
