Amazon casings not pinning... is 62f too cold?
    #5676407 - 05/26/06 09:25 AM (17 years, 10 months ago)

Hey
just wondered what you're take on this is. Its been pretty cold here recently and there is no way for me to raise the temperature in my room which is currently around 60°f.

I have some Amazonian casings... I'm having some troubles concerning overlay but basically its stopped getting worse, still there haven't been any pins. I also have some KC casings going that have already completed a complete flush and are continuing to pin despite the temperatures... just wondered what your take on this was.
I'm not really worried, I'm sure sooner or later I'll get pins even though its already been about 2.5 or so weeks. Usually I never had to wait more than 1 but its also been warmer usually... I've never done amazonians so I just wondered wether they need higher temps than other strains..what do you guys think?
thanks a lot

Yup. WAAY too cold.

TAKEN WITH A GRAIN OF SALT AS THIS IS OUT OF MY ASS:

I would throw them back into the incubator at 82-84 degrees for 24-48hrs to get that temp back to full juicy, then spray casings on top, cover with foil, put in fridge for 24hrs, then put back in your cold (71-74 degree) fruiting chamber.

This should re-set the mycellium

or maybe it will kill it all and contaminate your lungs with an over-shocked poisonous mycellium that 5% of shroomers accidently have happen to them then eat a dose to trip out and DIE (not really)  :eek:

Guide me clearly through that which I dont understand
Give me strength to find the path
Help me fight any demons as you flow through me wholely
This is my prayer, that you protect me from evil, and bring me closer to peace
And open up my eyes, so i can see things as you do
Amen

no, don't raise the temp to 82
just get it up to 70-75. get a spaceheater or a heating blanket a few inches below your FC. do whatever you have to do to get to about 70 degrees.

It will fruit at 62F, but will take longer. I've had outdoor mushies coming up when high temps were in the low fifties and low temps in the low forties. If you can get the temp above 70 it will work better for you. A light bulb should do the trick.

Not always they will often stall when that far out range. This is very much strain related too.

Ok that sort of confirms what I was thinking and interested in finding out about. I knew that cubes can fruit in colder temps (as I am seeing with my KC casing) and this is the confirmation that wether or not its possible is strain related. How has this been documented or do you say this just out of experience? Can you name some good cold-fruiting strains that you know of?

Here is one that fruits well at lower temps. For the most part cubies are very tolerate although yields will suffer. From what I've seen over the years with other growers they can definitely stall, I myself always grow under optimal conditions why not?

Mexi-Cub

A very beautiful mushroom always giveing us beautiful spotted caps, usually of a nice yellowish color instead of your typical cubensis golden tan color. Sometimes it even throws off some orangish colored spotted caps. It tends to grow with smaller stems and rather large caps compared to its stem. A rather fast strain, and very easy to grow. It does exceptionally well cased, and will continue to flush over and over within a week of each other. Although not a giant sized mushroom, it produces an abundance of mushrooms continually. You can usually count on a minimum of 4 really good flushes from this strain, and sometimes more. Another nice key feature about this cubensis, as that it fruits well in cooler temps of 50F, but also grows like all other cubensis at the higher temps of 75F-85F.
One special characteristic about this mushrooms potency, is it doesnt seem to give the high anxiety a lot of mushrooms do when the first initial waves of euphoria come over you. Its a very smooth, clean high, with a nice heavy play on the eyes.

Puerto Ricans also fruit better optimally at slightly lower temps (70-74F).
