Orissa India - My first attempt growing shrooms!!

STRAIN: Orissa India METHOD: PF TEK - CASING - LIQUID CULTURE BEGINNING: 09/16 STATUS: STILL IN PROGRESS
* 09/15 - Got the spore print! Made a 20cc syringe using 1/4 of a coin sized print. I dropped some distilled water on the print and using a inoculation ring, i gently stirred until the spores were all loose, then i poured the solution inside a sterile urine collection pot. Then i poured about 20ml of distilled water and mixed well. I sucked the solution into syringe and put it into the fridge and left it there for 48h for rehydration.
* 09/17 - I prepared the substrate (pf tek recipe plus tweaking) filled the half pint mason jars and PC for 60min. I'll let them cooling down overnight.
* 09/18 - Just inoculated the jars using 0,5cc per hole (4 holes in each jar). Total = 8 jars. Did all procedures inside a sterilised glovebox, flaming needle etc. Then i put all jars inside a styrofoam box. Inside the box was a 2 liters plastic bottle full of water with an aquarium thermostat/heater set for 84F.
* 09/24 - No signs of mycelium yet. To entertain myself i built a magnetic stirrer using a computer fan and a HD magnet. Also prepared a liquid culture using water and organic honey, wich i inoculated with the rest of the spore solution.
STAY TUNED FOLKS!! Send me positive vibrations!!

nice job, remove the foil on your jars. its only needed for keeping water out during sterilisation.
I wouldnt bother casing, just frit them as cakes in a shotgun terrarium. Casing is only realy helpfull when fruiting straight grains that dont hold much moisture.
Nice stir plate, ive always want to build 1

Thx bro i'll remove the foil! The reason i'll prepare a bulk substrate it's because orissa india don't do well in cakes, this strain is a hungry monster, needs lots of nutrients. I'll prepare a bulk substrate mixing coco coir (i think it's called like this, its coconut shell dust) and coffee grounds. After it's colonized, i'll cover with a casing layer made of peat moss and vermiculite (with gypsum and calcium cabonate). I think this will help my children to grow nicely!!! I would have started with rye grain, but since i had the ingredients for the PF cakes and i was in sush a rush to grow the babies, i couldn't wait!! lol
Stay tuned!

26/09 - Finally after 8 days since inoculation, at least 1 of the 8 jars is showing signs of biological activity. I think it's mycelium, it's white. Too soon to tell. Thanks God it's not green!
Stay tuned folks!

You should do a tek on making the stirrer.
That would be interesting.

09/28 - That only jars seems promising! The mycelium is growing slow and it's getting more white. The other jars still stalled. The weird thing is they germinated only in one point. Maybe the print i got was fucked up.

Yeah... But from what i've been reading, this strain colonizes really slow. And as i said, maybe my print was too old or fucked up or sumthing... dunno, i have to wait to see!! But if until next week the other jars don't show any signs of life, i'm throwing all away.
Stay tuned!

By 'tweaking', you mean you used whole grain white rice instead of brown rice flour?
