Need quick answer about fruiting
    #3651122 - 01/19/05 10:54 PM (19 years, 2 months ago)

ok, so we are going to either order amazonian or equadorian and about 10 bags (mycobags)....now with that said, my few questions...well my friend has a basment...well sort of...but anyway it has heat coming from above...but its not that warm...its probably estimate..60-65 degrees maybe alittle lower, and i heard that amazonian grows good in colder temps..do you know anything about this? and people said EQ was good too because its forgiving...well is amazonian strain better than EQ? i know its a matter of preference, but heres our situation and if you have any advice it would be cool...we are either going to get the EQ and do the tub in tub to incubate (of course) and then lower the temp to right temp. or get the amazonian and incubate upstairs and fruit downstairs where its cold, so which do you think is a better plan? and does amazonian fruit well in the 60-65 degree range? thanks for any replies, they are appreciated! :thumbup:

i've heard that amazonian is "more forgiving" to mistakes...but i'm not sure about cold temps. If you incubate at that temp its gonna be a longer time than normal for the full colonization, but i think that they'll fruit at that temp

Make an incubator for colonizing your jars....A good temp for incubation is 81 to 83 degrees F.

I had good luck fruiting at temps between 73 and 76 degrees F.
You might have to heat your growning area to get good fruit.

Good luck!~

the temp drop after being in the incubator might be beneficial. though really low temps won't allow the bags to fruit. if i were you i would use the basement as a place to setup your incubator. once colonized, if temps are still under 70 degrees, fruit them inside. since the bags are terraniums themselves there really isn't a need for a big setup. just take your colonized bags and put them in a closet or something and run a light for 8-12 hours a day... that should do it.

a word of advice when using bags is this.... break up the substrate inside your bag (though be careful to not rip or puncture in any way) before inoculation. when i recieved my bag a while back, i went ahead and just shot it up....though the substrate was as condensed as brick and the colonization speed was very slow, even with an incubator. and break up the bag once again when colonization is at 80-85%.

wish i had more advice but i'm out.
peace :smile:

thanks guys for all the answers its really appreciated...one more though, if i incubate in the basement, using the tub/n/tub method can i lower the fishtank heater down and will it keep the fruits warm? or just the cakes? sounds stupid but i know the tub itsself (what its touching) would be warm, but what about the fruits that are up in the air thats about 60 degrees? that doesn't matter right? its just the cake? thanks for any replies! :thumbup:

Especially cause you are gonna be fruiting in such cool tems , go with normal light , it will maybe add a degree or two to your ambient temp in the fruiting area . But type of light is not a biggie , remember mushies in the wild tend to be in areas where the light is rather diffused by trees bushes and grasses .

Lets see if I understand your question right first.
After you use a double tub incubator with a submersible aquarium heater for colonizing your jars...you want to know if you can use the same set up to fruit the cakes?

Yes you could.

Basically convert the incubator into a fruiting chamber.

You would lower the temp after birthing the cakes...from 81 degrees F. to 73 degrees F.
And you would need a lid that would give you some light for fruiting.
You would also have to add some Perlite and water.
Then fan the fruits a couple times a day...or add a bubbler.

Good luck!~

Dont forget about also needing a CLEAN TiT. Your gonna have stagnant water sitting right next to your mushrooms and often TiT water becomes contaminated quickly. Fresh water with a little bleach in it should be used and an eye kept on it for slimey water/growth.

TiT is Tub in Tub.
