First grow, a few methods, PICS, UPDATED 4/24/09
    #10222947 - 04/23/09 09:44 PM (14 years, 11 months ago)

OK, so for the 1st grow I wanted to try a few different things. PF tek, a monotub, and a cased tray in a tub FC.

PF tek- basic BRF cakes. Puerto Rican MS from Ralph. Here's a few pics.


Monotub (38L sterlite)- 10 parts coir, 5 parts verm, 1 part worm castings, tsp of lime.( sub was sterilized by accident) Brazilian MS from Ralph.

These fruits are short, fat, and solid as a store-bought mushroom.


They have dark caps compared to the other strains I have going.
Nice!
They have a PE look to them.

Lastly, I did a homestead kit (BPK from Thailand), but after the Kowanite colonized I decided not to fruit in the bag, I broke it up, put it in a tray in a FC, and put a light casing of verm on top (mostly because of the uneven surface, there were cracks and crevasses and I just made it even basically.)
The pic does no justice, the big shroom is now 10"+, these things are huge. I had to take the pic through foggy saran-wrap.

The reason I tried these methods was to see what works best for me and to get some different experiences. I have a lot of spawn ready and 20lbs of tennstud on the way, so more updates and pics to come!

4/24/09
So I harvested the monotub with the short stubbies. Mostly because it needed a dunk, I mixed the coir a little too dry. Its been dunked and is now doing its thing.

Heres what I got:

It was almost 300g wet.

I broke one open, actually I squeezed it until it popped open, I wanted to see how hard they were.
Solid shroom, deep blue!

So, the cased poo (kowanite) in the FC. Check it out.


I told you the last pic did no justice.


And all thanks to the knowledge gained here at the shroomery! If you look at the date I joined, at that time I knew absolutely NOTHING when it came to mycology, nothing. Thanks everyone.

Till next time my friends!:grin:

Those are some beautiful cakes. Did you do anything special to them? I've done over a hunderd and maybe have had 2 like that. Whats up on a print??? Looks like something I want to add to my collection!

Thanks man.:thumbup:
Nothing special at all. I just followed the growing mushrooms brf tek videos, EXACTLY. I never strayed from the tek. I did buy organic brown rice from the bulk section of the grocery store, and grinded it myself.(I think most do this though)

That sucks about your cakes man. I did 10, and those are the first 3 that fruited, I'm lucky I guess.

I dont think its the genetics that are the cause of your problem, but I suppose it could be. But I'm through with cakes anyway, the yield is minuscule compared to bulk.

No coffee. Castings have much more nutes than coffee.
