PE monotub (photos) Updated 1st flush wet and dry weights (after 1st post)

1
#9814332 - 02/17/09 03:32 PM (4 years, 3 months ago)

Hi fellas !

I have been following blood4blood's '80 gram PE mutant' and iMtRiPpIn's 'PE Bulk Grow Log' and am going to start this tread so I don't have to hijack their's for updates.

I figured I was about eight days in trail of iMtRiPpIn's grow ....

WBS was inoculated with a PE isolate and the quart jars were fully colonized in 10 to 14 days.

Four jars were spawned to a bulk substrate of HManure, coir, vermiculite and gypsum in an 18 gallon monotub.

The bulk substrate was fully colonized in 9 or 10 days:

Then into fruiting conditions for 11 to 12 days before I saw pins. (Cambodian genetics I have been using would have shown pins in 5 days .... so the PE was a 'wait' for me.)

I was expecting a lot of mutants (maybe even an 80 gram'r!) and small 'normal' fruits on the first flush based on the genetics I was using .... didn't really know what to expect ..... now the 1st flush pinset is more developed:

There are mutants (not as many as I expected) and 'normal' fruits. Some fruits look like they will get fairly big.

The question is: When to pick?

The veils are already torn .... so that indicator is not really relevant .... Do you pick when growth stops?

Anyway ... happy so far with my first PE experience.

I felt one of the larger fruits ... hard as a rock ! and the substrate is covered with knots.

When do you guys pick PE?

Thanks.

Edit: Update.

There is some good information here from ronjohn and others. Thank you. I would have picked these when they were much smaller.

Yippppeeeee !

I thought I'd better show this tub off before I picked any of the fruits.

2nd Update: Well .... I picked some fruits .... maybe 1/2 of the tub if the remaining fruits continue to develop. Wet weight was ridiculous: 988.2 grams

These two were joined at their bases ... so really two fruits.

Had a number like this .... couldn't quite break the 60 gram mark.

I'll keep track of what the tub does total on it's 1st flush.

Another Update: Here's 2.2 lbs wet ... that's a kilo fellas !

and this many more unpicked .. grow ! grow !

PE is SICK.

Update: 1st flush wet weight: 1,921.5 grams.

dry weight: 159.1 grams

I dried them in my dehydrator for 36 hours .... cracker dry.

I think your should pick when the veil brakes from the steam not 100% sure. I'm sure someone will inform you in a min. Also if growth stops it could be an Abort if not picked with rot any mess the whole cake up!

polk if ur gonna post on a thread try reading it first "the veils are already torn" people get pissy about that stuff. just a heads up

--------------------
I agree totally. However, this forum isn't for the experienced growers, because they already know the ropes. It's for the new growers who are just starting out. Sometimes the hardest part about learning something new is un-learning bad info. That's why I tend to correct people for calling a substrate tray a 'casing', etc.

everything I say is a lie on here.

do some reading pe don't fallow the rules. what I've read from these guys I they are the buttheads of the cube family. take their sweet time. throw mutants. and someone said their veils torn early then where ready to harvest like 3 days later..

You'd be right with any other mushrooms. However usually the veil breaks very early on PE. Mine break before the caps pop open and that's even if they have a noticable veil to begin with.

To the O.P pick them when the stem directly under the cap is the same or near the same width as the middle of the stem. Usually if the top area is narrower than the middle it still has plenty of growing to do. Another sign it is ready to pick is when you get wrinkling on the stem bellow the cap. The you know for sure it's good to go. I'll post some pics when I get out of class. Right now I'm on my iPhone. In any case all I grow is PE so you can trust this some good info. Lots of people pick them too early by mistake if they haven't grown this strain before.

Yeah .... I am quite familiar with harvesting at veil tear'age with other strains.

This Penis Envy is 'different' and I don't have any experience with it.

It seems like the pins have torn veils or no veils or maybe they tear very early.

Interesting strain.

Mr. Polk,

The Hawaiian cube would be a good one to start with.

I have heard good reports on the PESH (pacific exotica spores hawaiian) .... it's cultivation parameters are straight forward (easy ... like all cubes) and you hear that, like PE, PESH are uniquely potent. I'll probably get flamed for writing that about the PESH potency ... but that is the WORD from experienced folks. ?

Sorry these are a bit blurry. I just got done with school and I used a camera phone. I'm pretty lazy but they should do the trick.
See the nice uniform shape from lower shaft of the stem to the top. This one buldges out a bit at top but thats totally fine. As long as it isn't thiner on top than the bottom.

The first pic is a slightly dry PE's just picked a few hours ago. You can see the uniformed shape I spoke of.

Thank you very much.

only one criticism ..... you wrote, "The top part of the stem should be the same as the rest. Like a snake."

like a snake? how about, LIKE A PENIS ! ?

No prob man. If you need more help just PM me. Like I said all I've ever grown and most likely will ever grow is PE. If you couldn't tell I was totally trying to avoid any reference to penises. Thanks for calling me out...God I hate you people...J/K.

(I also meant to write a snake's body but ran out of room).

P.S. save those pics if you want I'll most likely delete them in a week or so. Just to give you a heads up.

The veil on PE tears very early so you can't use that method...the photographs posted by ronjohn are helpful. Give them a good week to grow out, depending on your temps.

I strongly recommend casing and using Hyphaes pinning strategy. It will improve the pinset. Ryches 50/50+ is a good mix. That pinset you have will grow in quite nicely. Just let them grow out. PE (or any cube) is a slow fruiter with cooler temps also. Lower temps are recommended to improve potency. I wouldn't harvest until they all finish and then harvest all at once. Be careful misting PE will abort and is sensitive to misting. Don't forget to post some centerfolds.

Hey Mr. Tripp'n,

Yep ..... I usually like to apply a casing layer and Hyphae's strategy ... yes yes yes .. and 50/50+ with a touch of coir is my favorite .... I knew the PE was a slow fruiter and I worried about trich developing before the first flush finished .... so I went without.

I also like to mist .... and did ..... and noticed some darker spots on the caps .... probably from residual moisture sitting on them .... so I stopped that and will let the moisture in the substrate finish the first flush ... then dunk.

I bounce back and forth between babying them and neglect.

They are growing bigger and I hope some will be good photographic subjets.

Thanks MAN.

I'll tell you what has me excited .... these suckers are dense .... I mean SOLID. I'll post wet and dry weights and my bud, Mr. justme, will provide a trip report.

I think you're on the right track.

Put them outside and let the Trade Winds dry them out.

won't take long.

I've had bulk substrate trays get drenched in rain and were under 1/4" of water .... drained them off and let them dry out a bit ... and away they went.

Yes they are dense. Once they dry they are like little logs. Yes I recommend stop misting. The 50/50+ should not contam if the PH is right. The ratios listed there should work perfectly.

these are great pics. but just so you know, i've let my PE's go past that before, and they've bloated up and gotten really uber gnarly looking on the upper third of the fruit. i waited until they quit bloating to pick them. some might speculate that this was 'just water weight', but in this case, the ones that i 'let go' were totally solid as fuck through the thickened up bloated parts, and they were the most potent shrooms i've ever eaten.

I've done that too, but a lot of the time it is just water weight. Sometimes thought it isn't water weight. Picking these guys isn't an exact science. Those pictures should just be used to help people get a good idea of when to pick their mushrooms. But yeah you can wait longer if you'd like. If I remember correctly monstermitch wrote he waits till they get all crazy looking and little droopy. That's just getting a bit too old for me. In any case I picked a few early yesterday (only a day or so early they looked like they were ready to pick but only half of the veil was broken, no biggie), by mistake and I've picked hundreds of these fruits. So sometimes even my criteria don't works. As always use best judgement first.

Man I can't wait to grow some PEs thats definitely going to be my next grow. A lot of experienced people on here say that PEs are they're favorite. Ronjohn it seems like you aren't the only one that grows only PE, what do you like most about them? is the trip really a different type of trip than all the other cubes?

I can't compare trips with any other mushrooms since the first time I took mushrooms they were mushrooms I grew and I haven't had any other ones, but I'm sure its about the same trip (only potency will vary).

Heres why I like PE
I like them because they're pretty easy to grow. They love to fruit either on their own or with minimal help. Which I'd say is very nice. Also they tend to dry out to around 10% of their original mass or more. Which is a nice feature. I've also never have had one that has been a dud i.e. not potent. They all kick your ass. Another nice feature is if you hit the genetics jack pot like I did with my last grow almost all of your fruits will be over 50 grams wet. Not many strains can grow monster fruits like that consistently through one flush. Or you can get really shit genetics like my current tub (multispore LC) and only get smaller fruits like in those pictures I posted (minus the top pic which is from my first grow and what my clones are based off of). Granted a small PE fruit is the size of a normal to average Mushroom of another strain.

Some things I hate about PE.
A lot of the PE spores sold now are of poor genetics. So either your yields will suck, you'll have bad pin coverage, or you'll waste a lot of time growing mutations. (Cloning and isolates cut this down a lot). Also some say later flushes improve in terms of yields I haven't really seen that yet. If your really SOL you can get no fruits out of your first flush just mutations. I haven't had this happen yet (it almost happened with my current tub), but it has happened to others in the past.

Spore collection is hard.

Long fruiting period (only because they're usually solid as oak trees down the middle...not really a defect just an annoyance). It can take sometimes up to week and half to close to two weeks for some of these larger ones to finish growing.

Wow I hope I hit the genetics jack pot I really like how the fruits are over 50 grams wet lol This is definitely going to be my next grow. What vendor would you recommend for good PE spores? I heard that sporeworks actually has the original strain, and all of their spores seem to be top quality.

Thats whose stock of genetics I have. I'd say if you get them off of sporeworks expect a mixed bag of quality (of fruits NOT spores, they're spores are legit). Do a few Multispore monotubs, and start cloning your best fruits. Or do isolates if your into that shit. I will say what they did give me did fruit and I did get monster fruits out of my first grow. Even now my current grow (a multispore tub) has one monster ass fruit which is easily the biggest I've ever seen. It's looking like it might get to be bigger than that 70 g monster I posted. So that helps. What I'm growing now just isn't as nice as what I got the first time. No biggie, thats why I have tons of cloned LC's. I really only do Multispore monotubs to get more monster fruits cloned.

Heres a pic of my last line up during last bit of my first flush with my first PE monotub. I never took a group shot because it didn't stop fruiting for like 3 weeks straight (and I lost a bunch of the pics). Everything that came out of it after week one was damn near 30-50 grams except for that one plate in the pic. I'd say I picked around a 1/2 lb to 3/4 lb out of that first monotub (first flush only). All the ones on the vent were half dry thats why they look smaller, but trust me they were marathon when fresh. I can't find that picture at all. I was picking similar sized monsters for 2 weeks straight.

Howdy fellas !

1st flush continues to grow.

Yesterday

Today

If all these little guys decide to grow up, I'll be in business.

Looks like I will harvest them bit by bit ... so the total weight will be dry. I will weigh an individual fruit wet and dry to get an idea of wet vs. dry weight.

Howdy fellas !

1st flush continues to grow.

Yesterday

Today

If all these little guys decide to grow up, I'll be in business.

Looks like I will harvest them bit by bit ... so the total weight will be dry. I will weigh an individual fruit wet and dry to get an idea of wet vs. dry weight.

Those seem like they are growing fast. What are your temps?

I am growing 'outside' under a high deck. Temperatures vary from 60 to 75 .... or so ... the FAE is good.

I read somewhere, long ago a study that looked at potency as a result of growing temperatures .... and 68 was optimal .... maybe not for speed or size ... but for psilocin / psilocybin production .... wonder if what I read was valid?

Cooler growing temperatures here because they are outside.

Fellas !

The PE fruits are getting larger .... some are quite large.

Here's a photo:

It's an 18 gallon tub to give some perspective.

I'm happy.

Congrats man. In a day or two you should be good to start harvesting those. Next time so you don't have so many split caps place some wax paper on top bro. Just cut holes in it for FAE.

wait til the stems will mutate at the end towards the cap.. they will get really thin. Thats when you pick.. Ive read this from monstermitch says... ur missing some kind of extreme potency by not waiting that long.

Really !? The potency increases somehow at the very end of fruiting.

That is different and interesting.

This is my 1st time with PE (sounds like I'm gay and coming out)

so all this information is cool.

Uncle Rico you mentioned that your Cambodian genetics are some bad asses. I would have to agree, I got a print from you about a month ago and I just birthed jars today, and they had a lot of pins on cakes already. Has barely been a month. Can't wait to try some of them out!

I agree w/ you about the Cambodian genetics being amazing from the prints UncleRico sent out. EXTREMELY aggressive mycelium! :omgawesome:

Thanks for the kind words MushHunter and Schutz.

I can't really take any credit for the Cambodian genetics. They are Ralph's MS. They are very fast pinners for me.

This PE is a slow pinner .... but Dang ! I think it is going to be worth the wait.

Thanks guys.

Kilo of wet PE ! .... 988.2 grams 2.2 lbs.

Is that correct ?

These were left unpicked ... so they can grow more.

PE is SICK.

sorry for bumping this like I am. I'm excited.

This is an isolate that justme got from another good guy member.

I borrowed the syringe and made a 1/2 quart of LC, inoculated some WBS .... bla bla bla ... and then gave the LC and original syringe back to justme...

Now I am saying, "TREASURE that stuff !"

I hope the isolate will produce like this in the future. I don't want this to be a one time, lucky event.

No problem. I should have a grow going from that same gene pool soon. Glad to see it's still got some kick. Potency should be great too. I'm curious to hear the trip report from just me.
