 Pink Oysters on dung/coir
#11298115 - 10/22/09 07:07 AM (2 years, 7 months ago) |

Has anyone tried oysters in a single tub with coir/hpoo?
i just spawned 4 quarts popcorn to a single tub using this. along with some supercake formula in it.

yes i have and you can expect several flushes from it too.
what procedure did you use to prep the dung and how did you put it together. layers or mix.

nah i just oven pasteurized. then spawned 4 quarts of popcorn spawn. mixed it in nice and fluffy. the mix was 50/50 coir/hpoo.
i have a tub with about 8 holes total and polyfil. pink oysters. was finding i had some major issues with air exchange even using tropicaire setup. so i will most likely leave the polyfil out of the holes once fruiting begins. and mist the sides of the tub.
i did some open air grocery bags with newspaper spawned with corn spawn. and i had decent results misting the sides of the bags. but found it to be too much work. and i can't automate anything.
but got a few good meals out of it...

Yes. Very successful I had an old dieing tree in the backyard and worked up some mycobags with coir/hpoo/straw mix. Colonized fully within two weeks. Dug a hollow at the base of the tree and pushed the spawn blocks into the cavity. 3 weeks later there were visible runners going up the trunk. 8 weeks later the tree was fruiting. It is now roughly 58 weeks later and the tree has fallen and is mostly consumed. It appears the stump is meeting the same fate which was the goal.

well the results weren't the best. but i timed it a bit late. should have opened the polyfil holes and started misting when the last picture was posted. instead waited a day or so and they started drying out a bit. had a decent size harvest enough for some munching. but hopefully 2nd flush will do better.

booooo to your pictures, I want to see the tree debian was talking about.
haha j/k nice job, always figured oysters would do good on coir but never tried them cause I like doing cardboard/paper. Coir has good moisture retention potential though, makes a good addition I think.

they did ok. i think i need to make the dung ratio higher. maybe throw in some recycled newspaper chunks in 2x2" pieces. yeah i want to see the tree as well lol...
think they didn't so much like the dung but id like to do a combination next round of cardboard chunks, newspaper chunks, coir, dung. probably keep it a 75%nutrient ratio.

I'd also up your air on those things...an occilating fan nearby or something. Outside that...looks like they got great RH & light. Just need lots more air.

its in a room with a ceiling fan. lid was left loose, all holes were left open and it was hand fanned 3 times daily. i think it dried out real early. shoulda began misting once pins formed. can't really get more air exchange than it did unless i pump fresh air directly into it or automate. which isn't an option right now.

i am new to pinks so take what i say with a grain of salt.
you got a good pin set but i think rh and fae need more attention. the shrooms should be way bigger.
i would not change anything on the substrata till you get the fruit conditions down better. i think your sub is fine as well as everything leading up to fruit conditions.
don't change but one factor at a time when you see the results of more fae then you will be adjusting the rh seems like it might be high too.
another tip is to try to automate what you can as it brings the scope of the fight down a little and makes things more manageable.
good luck and i like the color you got there.

yeah i can't automate. tried fanning mercifully and had the bin in a room with open air holes and a fan. might try a shotgun chamber next. but didn't want to screw up or drill anymore holes in these tubs. i have a few older ones i can drill to pieces. i tested my tropicaire setup with no good results. i even used a 6"long by 1" wide bubble stone hooked up to a 90 gallon air pump. still didn't give enough air exchange for both pinks and blues. did some open air experiments that worked out well. just messing around right now until i can get more space for automation.

Oysters need a lot of FAE, tubs are not exactly their friend.

yeah i realize. i was just too lazy to spawn bags or newspaper this last time. had a batch of dung mixed up and not enough cubie spawn. just kinda turned out the way it did. kinda just tossing out the spawn before it went bad...
did this last round open air in grocery bags off newspaper and about 1 quart spawn per bag. probably next time might triple the size of the bulk substrate. add some flax and some cardboard. not in the mood to deal with straw atm. just using the recycled trash from the weeks.
on this last batch. i was having the opposite issue. enough air exchange and not enough moisture. things dried out real easy. was hand misting but maybe opened the bags up too much the first few days.

the 2nd flush of this dung tub is doing better than the first. i left the lid open and holes out. i did not dunk just misted directly on the substrate and on the pins. i have been having to hose them down heavily about 3 times daily due to the fan in the room drying out the tub quickly.

did something different this flush. left all the holes of polyfil out. left the lid loose and cracked. sprayed heavily on the lid, sides and the substrate as well as the pins 3 to 4 times daily. did not fan anything. they seem to have a better color than the last flush. i keep timing it wrong. but hopefully ill mist them quicker this next flush.

yeah dude i know. but i can't get anymore in the tub. its open air with a fan blowing in the room, unless i automate. which i can't. and the tropicaire i have didn't really push enough air exchange int he tubs either. even with a giant bubble stone and 60 gallon air pump.

ok so this was dunked 2nd flush. the tub top was left off. it was sitting under a fan. the chamber was heavily misted 4 times daily on the sides, the substrate and directly on the fruits. going to try a shotgun chamber next round but line the bottom of the whole tub like this tub see if it works. im sure someone has done it before. trying to get something without automation going and no fanning required. hoping the shotgun chamber will work with the bottom lined. will just mist really heavy on the sides and leave the top off if need be.
thats next round..
       
i want to try some golden oyster. they look delicious.

I'm a little disappointed, I was hoping there would be a good way to do oysters indoors sometimes. I'm a little worried about sporeload My GF has a family history of breast and cervical cancer and it is supposed to be effective in treating/preventing it. I'm a little concerned that my neighbors will see them if I put them on the balcony of my apartment and cause trouble for me.

I might just do that, Currently I just put them in a box with the ends taped upwards. Where my neighbors are not likely to see them unless I grow a monster in which case only my one neighbor diagonally across from me would see it and I'm probibly going to pick as soon as I can because I'm not being able to afford a lot of food currently. I'm just doing 4 bags with phoenixes on cardboard and hoping it'll yield here before It gets too cold.

you could rig an easy fogger setup with a green house .should work fine. doesn't take up much more than a closet space. although i can't rig that up right now. thats why im testing out some no fanning methods to see if i can get the feel for it. this is only my 2nd oyster grow. the other one was open air in a bag on recycled newspaper. the way i see it. is im recycling my trash and getting a little to eat from it...lol...
even if the yield isn't what i want. when i have more time and space to mess with straw i will...

I am currently looking at that actually. I had read someone on here claim that they had done some oysters in tubs with some better results, I'm more disappointed about that. I should have known better than to believe such a claim but...

been reading along here. still a great lookin' grow.
i did ok with a small straw bag (oven bag) last year. not a lot of fruit but i had some decent size fan shapes. it was in a 4 tier GH with a v400 on 24/7. i think with bigger sub it could do pretty good like that. i had quite a few cubies goin in there with it and i was letting them open more than i should have. between the 2 the v400 got inundated with spores and was all down hill from there.
anyway, i'm getting some blue oyster spawn going now and i've got 6 or so 2-6 qt subs of cubies going in to the FC this week. i dont wan't to put them in the GH together but with everything going on i may not have a choice.
i may have a solution though after reading this thread. i may have mis read but you've got them in kind of a mono tub there right? well my idea comes from a contraption i tried on one of my first good grows. i made my first FC like a cross between a shotgun, a mono. i was fanning an misting constantly and just as the sub was pinning i had to go away for a week, so...
i cut a 3" hole in each end near the top and put a 33cfm cpu fan w/ a timer on one end and a piece of an air filter ( home/central air type ) on the other end. after a week when i got home i had the biggest beautiful mushies ever. there were some spores in the filter but not crazy. there were still plenty in the perlite so it wasn't a wind tunnel but you get the idea. oh, and the FC was in a cabinet so ALL the FAE was the fan.
what do you think? lots of fae and you can keep the RH in via filters/poly whatever. plus the spores get trapped.
it was after that i registered here and now look at me. lol big ol' GH, jars,tubs,petris everywhere. PC'ing something every weekend. 
sorry didn't mean to drag that out.
oh, btw do some types of oysters sporulate more than others?

hmmm reminds me of this. I've considered doing a setup like this before. I have a small ultrasonic unit that has a fan also with the humidifyer and the fan separately adjustable. This would be perfect for doing a small, single or double oyster tub if I just setup a system to pipe it in.

if u wanna do a easy oyster grow. put them in bags(newspaper bags, bread bags, my favorite big ice bags). move them where u want, soak them, hide them if ya want there just oysters. they like fresh air to much. just mist them a couple times a day and leave hanging somewhere. if the spores get bad for ya then put them in a tub. the first time i grew oysters they looked like the ones in your pic. its a different ball game.

yeah, that's a lot more than what i had. do oysters need as high RH as cubes? if not you could use a wick type CM for the big fans they have.
the only thing i would definately change on that system is that there aren't many exhaust holes. i'm thinking of as many as 6 - 2" holes with some kind of filter.
mabey i'll set up the one i was talking about and post pics. i still got the parts, just gotta dig em up. it's kinda ghetto but i remember it working really well. just needed a little more RH.

hay guys i been growing oyster at 74-75 deg f and rh in between 85 -88
i use the setup in my sig. it can be adapted to a small box or like now a large shipping container. it will keep rh and temp steady . i found that when using it ......the smaller the contained environment the more precise you can control the rh and temp. its a bit harder for a shipping container but i just about got it under control.
i use poly bags i make to what ever size i want.
straw and coco / gyp and lyme
wbs spawn from agar
oh! fae on all my grows is constant.........allways have new air coming in ......slow flow so system can compensate for the new air's rh and temp.
