PF Tek Grow Log: B+, Golden Teacher, PF Classic (w/pics) update 11/19/11

This is my first grow log and my first grow larger then 5 cakes.
Any feed back positive or negative is encouraged.
Thursday 09/29/11 Received syringes and gathered remaining supplies Made/Sterilized/Inoculated 14 jars by 11:30pm 7 B +, 7 PF Classic Had 2 jars left over
Friday 09/30/11 I decided to make 3 jars with EELGWRF (Enriched Extra Long Grain White Rice Flower) only because I wasn't able to buy more BR and because I didn't want to put just the 2 remaining jars in my pot to sterilize. And only 3 because who wants to waist a syringe on white rice (even though its only MS) Inoculated jars with Golden Teacher around 8:00pm
Monday 10/03/11 Growth in 4/7 B jars
Friday 10/07/11 Inoculated 5 more jars with PF Albino Growth in: 7/7 B + jars 5/5 GT jars 3/7 PFC jars 0/7 PFA jars (Obviously)
All my jars... And my cat:
Monday 10/10/11 Growth in 2 more PFC jars
Here are some pics of the jars with the most growth:
PF Classic
I've noticed that my PFC jars are taking longer to take hold but I can tell that the mycelium is much more bright and healthy then the other varieties I have.
Golden Teacher (EELGWRF on the left regular BRF on right)
EELGWRF cakes took hold faster and are colonizing faster but it is easy to see (maybe not in the pictures) that the mycelium in them is unhappy and not as white and vibrant as the BRF jars.
B +
All the B + jars are looking great, very good rizomorphic growing in all of them. Most of the jars have about 2/3 the amount of growth then this one but are growing more and more everyday.
Sunday 10/30/11 I will first give a recap of what has been happening in my life to explain why I have not updated in so long. First my internet when down for almost 3 weeks then my camera stopped working and then worst of all, my lab notes were destroyed in a tragic beer spilling during a Halloween get together.
So I lost 3 of the PFA jars to contams and 1 PFC jar. 1 PFC jar is doing nothing and the others are growing but very slowly.
The GT jars are all doing great all at about 95% the EELGWRF jars are starting to show lots and lots of pins along the top rim of the cake, regular GT jars are pinning too but not seeing as many as in the EEFGWRF jars.
The B+ jars ended up pinning and growing inside the jar when they were at about 85 or 90 in all jars. I ended up having to just take the lids off the jars and place then in my chamber to grow. I had to take them out of the jars at around 95% to pick the fruits but they are fine.
Here are a few pics of my set up and the fruits I just picked, as you can see i still have a few that need to be picked but after that i will just continue on with the grow as if they never had a first very thin flush. Total wet weight is 32.1
I can tell that they are very thick, here is a pic of a few that i picked a couple days ago from 2 jars that were ahead of the others, i didn't weigh them before drying but they weigh 3.8 grams total. forgot to put a quarter in the picture, but the caps are almost exactly the size of one.
I've been misting heavily and then fanning for however long i feel is necessary 3 times a day, but i also just mist very lightly 2 times a day because the rh in my house is very very low so i need to, i may end up covering a few of the holes.
Thursday 11/3/11
So quick tally, I've got 1 PFA and 3 PFC jars left, I'm pretty sure that this is because my cat likes to dig around in the plant next to my jars and some dirt got in the innoc holes and eventually contams, or it could have just been my method, but the B+ and GT never got any dirt on them and they did fine.
In other news; Add 14 more grams to the wet weight of the first (accidental) flush and everything dried to cracker came to 12 grams even. Only like 75% water. Dunked 6/7 cakes for 16 hours at a little below room temp.
This cake had a massive pin on it so I decided to let it go instead of dunking it with the rest, now it's got 2 more pins so ill prolly let it keep going. Can't wait to get a print and prolly a clone from this guy.
GT's are about ready to go into 7 day consolidation, I was thinking about using the 3 EELGWRF cakes to spawn to coco coir but i kinda wanna see how well they grow just as the cake since they have pretty thick pinning, couldn't get pics because of lighting.
Friday 11/04/11
Mashed up 1 EELGWRF GT cake and spawned to 75% coco coir 25% peat moss.
Monday 11/07/11
Here is the EELGWRF spawned to coir. Only a couple more days and it should be ready for the FC
All PFA cakes are now gone due to contams. Lost another PFC cake also.
Added 3 GT cakes to the FC 1 reg and 2 EELGWRF, dunked for about 12 hours . I have one more reg GT cake that I will most likely spawn just as I the EELGWRF one. Also I am running out of room in my FC, I guess I'll have to make another one soon.
Had to remove the verm pile on top of the B+ cakes and flip them over because there is thick pinning round the base of the cake where the lip of the lid it was resting on cover the cake. I believe this is because my RH wasn't high enough so all the pins formed where there was high RH. I taped up a few of the holes to bring up the RH. This is the furthest developed cake all other are close behind. Hard to tell from the pic but the pinning goes almost all the way around the edge on all the cakes.
Also here is that big mushroom that is now dry, there was some really dark natural bruising on the base of it, I thought it was because that is where the mist hit it but after looking closer at it I noticed that the mushroom was attached to the cake by only a few small threads of mycelium so I think the bruising was caused by all the nutrients being funneled to this one spot on the base. Or it could be that this mushroom will be potent as fudge. Hard to tell from the pic but it is very very very deep blue.

Some pin porn
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=15344910&page=0&vc=#15344910
Saturday 11/12/11
Picked a few fruits from one of the EELGWRF cakes, you can tell they they arnt the happiest mushrooms. It seems like when using white rice the whole process is rushed, faster colonization faster pinning and faster fruiting, its like the mycelium knows it doesn't have much to work with.
dunked for 18 hours and placed back into the FC
This is what my FC looks like right now, I added another GT cake too, in this pic the cake from up there is still dunking so its not in the FC
Here are just a few updated pics from the Wednesday pin porn.
Believe me when I say that these pics don't do justice to the amount of pins on these cakes. I counted over 150 on a couple cakes.
Monday 11/14/11
Picked this and a few others off the cake on the bottom right, it is now in for a dunk.
that cluster was 35.1 grams and the others i picked, from the same cake, made it 39.4
a few more cakes
all of the above are B+ so here are some GT pins
Wednesday 11/16/11
Just a quick one. Woke up and opened my FC to find this.
I picked that big one in the bottom left corner a few seconds after taking this pic its wet weight is 27.3. Ill be picking the ones in the 2 top corners tomorrow prolly. The ones i picked yesterday came to 3.7 cracker dry.
Thursday 11/17/11
Pick just over 90 grams off this cake and another that had fewer fruits, this picture was taken yesterday so it was a bit more developed when I harvested.
And here are some more GT pin pics, same cake as up there but I just noticed how many pins were on the bottom and underneath the first big pins.
Saturday 11/19/11
Everything I picked since the 16th came to 21.5 grams cracker dry.
Today I woke up to find one of my GT cakes like this. Grabbed about 70 grams off it but I weighed it after it had been on my fan for about 15 mins.

You sound capable enough to properly do a PC-LC. so while these jars are going, get your LCs moving, then your next batch of jars will colonize much faster. B+ is the best variety for MS, imho, as its genetics have been refined so many times.
as for your jars, get ahold of some 1/2 pint wide mouth jars. if you can't find any, you can have them shipped to a local ace hardware for free. if thats not an option, you can try pint wide mouth, and just fill them halfway, however to do that you won't be able to use a dry verm layer and will need to get either synthetic filter discs, or 3m mircropore tape (they sell it at grocers) to act as a contam barrier.
once you get an LC ready, check out the thread in my signature with help evenly colonizing those tall jars so you are not stuck waiting on the bottoms to colonize.

Thats what I was planing, but I wasn't sure if I should make a LC with an MS. Was thinking about making a poor mans mycelium syringe and using that to start some LCs

What I meant to get at was make a B+ MS LC since it has such good genetics. Use that for the majority of your jars for now. Then do like 2 cakes each of your other varieties from MS. You can then isolate the good genetics from your non-B+ varieties to make cloned-LCs.

OIC ill have to get on that. I didn't think to make an LC from an MS of a refined variety
and for jars. i looked all over, didn't think to have them shipped to the store. I was actually planing on making a bunch of filter disk lids since i have a bunch of tyvek just sitting here from a previous hobby

Nice job so far man, i cant wait to see how it turns out!

I wouldnt reccomend using just micropore tape, maybe with some tyvek or polyfill but not micropore by itself. But thats just me

ya he is right, again check the tall jar thread in my sig, as there are some directions on how to make lids with tyvek. I ordered 50 envelopes (post office sends them to you free of all charges) and got them in 2 days. Although, I suspect multiple layers of micropore tape to be just as effective, just like how saris can be folded 4 times to filter out cholera from water.

Man, this is awesome. I was just stumbling along the Cultivation forum and I happened to click on your thread. I will most definitely be following this to the end!
LOVE that picture of the golden teacher mycelium network reaching outwards. Also that mutant/siamese twin one haha.
Best of luck!

thanks for the support, the steam on that mutant in the cluster ended up breaking open after a little wile on my drying fan and there is a second mushroom growing inside it! which prolly explains why the stem on it looked so orange during growth
