First Grow - Hawaiian *new mycoporn*
    #7745993 - 12/11/07 05:12 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

*updates on last page*


Hey everyone. I just thought I'd post a couple pics and share the excitement of my first grow.

I bought two syringes, one Creeper and the other Hawaiian, and knocked up several jars about four weeks ago. It took about two weeks (and lots of impatience) to see the first signs of growth. I also attempted to make some LCs using a mixture of agar-agar and dextrose.

Growth of the Hawaiian has exploded, with tons of nice rhizo spreading around super fast. Strangely, the Creeper never showed any growth, neither in the jars nor the LC. They were actually made a week before the Hawaiians, so it's been about 5 weeks for them with nada. Bad syringe? Who knows, but the jars are still contam free so I'm pondering using some LC to get them going too. Lost one jar to cobweb already, it's sitting in a cupboard so I can kinda watch the two duke it out and see what happens. as i type this i am also PCing two quart jars of WBS to experiment with. here are the pics:

a couple jars showing my hawaiian myc


my agar-dex LCs, both Hawaiian. Took 10 days to grow and throw in the fridge.


strong rhizo growth



and a new jar that I knocked up with LC less than forty hours ago




cheers!

Yeah man, looks good. I'm starting my own first grow very soon and I couldn't be more pumped. Doing the PF Tek method first, but after that I want to move on to something more large-scale. Anybody have any good ideas as to what that should be?

Just look up Bulk Growing under Mushroom Cultivation.

----
Day 3 on my jars and I'm still not seeing any mycelium, but I used spores too, and not an LC.

Is it my imagination or do I see whole grains of rice in those jars? :cool:

In any case those jars look pretty good. 

I never had much luck getting pint jars to colonize in a timely manner, but I only tried a couple times.  Maybe I should give it another go now that I've got a good bit more experience with the half pints. 

Keep us posted bro.
:goodluck:

That's some healthy looking myc.. It'll grow faster still and should fully colonize within a week or so i'd say.. Keep us in the loop with more pics until fruiting.

My first grow was a pf tek into a two liter pop bottle.

My next one will be a monotub with hpoo sub and wbs spawn, with 50/50+ casing layer. I'm really worried about it though. I don't want to dick it up because if I do then I'm letting down myself and my friends...important it is to me.
Good luck with yours though, and if you wanna be grow friends/partners, I'm down with that.

Make a few cakes as a backup. if everything turns out ok you will have a few extra shrooms, and if it doesn't you'll still have enough for a dozen people

yeah you do haha, i was originally going to use BRF, but could only find whole brown rice and rye flour and bought both.  I tried chopping up the rice in an old food processor (i mean OLDDD, 25+ years) and ended up burning the motor out after about 45 min.  so i used a mixture of rye flour with some of my chopped up rice, some of which wasn't chopped at all.

yrat, I am so proud of you for not fucking your project up


--------------------
Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

Sterility is KEY for agar. If it exists in the air it's going to be growing on your plate when you inoculate it :smile:. Good luck with it anyways. Tell us how it goes.
