incubating with the filters in with tape on the bag oh yeah. still working. this substrate and strain are extremely slow. it should be colonized already. well it was from a 5 year old spore syringe. then the pf jar was kept for 3 months in the fridge after full colonization prior to p2ging the pf jar to grain. so i guess this ape has an excuse as to why its so damn slow to colonize. i always add 2 weeks to everything when it comes to fruiting this strain. sometimes i feel like im waiting for weeks.




I'd say it's doing just fine.  Let's hope it doesn't have the bacteria bug :wink:

oh no what i mean is that the ape strain is slow to my tastes. the substrate looks great. im complaining that it should be colonized already because usually if i add supercake to my mix its around 3-4 days full colonization. its slower than most strains and i get impatient with it. but when it fruits. damn its worth the wait because it is so cool looking. can't wait to try the filters out for sure.

i might do as you do with the rtv but im wary because i dunk and really abuse my substates. so what i was planning on doing was pressure cooking them between each new substrate when im setting up the tub. ill just tape them back again. thats really the only reason im using tape.

Those look like baby pins to me asura!  Not sure why it's doing that after 5 days though.. is that 5 days into fruiting?

I fruited somewhere on 8/17. I don't see any pins but I haven't looked too close.
I am hoping for tomorrow. The first pins get marked as cloning candidates.

I have high hopes for this tub (and the other 3 I have just like it).
I fucking love these filters! I know you aren't supposed to worry about
monotubs, but I worry about these even less. It's like it's just dialed
in perfectly.

I swear all those little white specs look like the beginnings of pins to me :shrug:.  I'll be spawning a few more of these tubs tomorrow :smile:

excellent. do you have the ironed filters on the inside of the tub?

it also looks like you are incubating with the filter in and no tape on the sides.

how long on average does it take for pe to colonize your bulk subs? i am almost 100% after 5 days with a spawn ratio of 1 quart spawn for every 4 quarts substrate. its 4 quarts spawn and 16 quarts substrate per tub.

The ironed filters are on the inside of the tub because you need to tape the holes
on the outside during colonization.

I am not incubating. This tub has been fruiting since 8/17, so no tape.

I am really new to this. This is my first grow since 2012. I soaked the
grains before I spawned them per Frank Horrigan and they colonize fast as shit.

I am also using a ridiculous spawn ratio. Probably a little more than 1:1. The
mycellium is so thick it looks like it will bust through the tub.

cool. but how long did the spawn run with the 1:1 ratio? or how long did it take to colonize the substrate?

thats ok it looks good. the pe varieties are usually slower than most cubensis. i was wondering if the ape were on average with say the pe your doing.

ive never taped holes during incubation and i have fat ass flushes no issues. im of the mind to do less to accomplish the same goals.

did you rtv the filters on the tub?

Not long. 7 days :shrug: I am getting some phenomenal results right now.

The filters are put in place with silicon, which I like, because you can peel them
off if you have to. The top holes are very, very loose polyfill.

I colonize for 10 days minimum no matter what. I have 2 tubs right now that are fully colonized after 6 days, but I will go 10 days or even a little longer to consolidate.

PE is slower than shit on grain (IME). What you are looking at is an isolate after 6
transfers on agar. But for whatever reason, once I put the PE to the substrate
it colonizes fast as hell.

yeah thats good time. yes its slower on grain than other cubensis. but also, i got my grain jars to colonize in 7 days. not bad for ape. i find it slower on bulk subs also. where i will probably have full colonization in 7 days. i would normally have full colonization a few days earlier with other strains. they are extremely slow to fruit for me. the slowest.

thanks for the info. sorry i think im off topic. sorry dilated. ill stick back on topic.

asura here is another question for you. im looking at dilated's op. hes siliconing the filters to the outside. i see your doing to the inside.
were your poly filters added after you colonized the substrate?
or did you have the tape over the holes on the outside and you had already siliconed the filters on the inside prior to spawning the bulk substrate in the tub?

SBJ's magnet tek will deal with these issues. or taping on the inside and gluing the filter on the outside
