2nd Try with Albino...Tips?
    #6097989 - 09/25/06 09:18 AM (17 years, 6 months ago)

I'll be making my 2nd set of casings with PF Albino either today or tomorrow.. On my last try to grow them i got very very small fruits and most of them had a blue discoloration.. I used 2" pf cakes for substrate and 1/4" peat verm mix for casing...

I have 4 1/2p jars that i'm going to case.. Any suggestions on getting full sized fruits this time around?

Do you have any pics of your last try? I'd like to see how they looked after being cased... I imagine that somewhere in there is the reason for the small growths.

I really couldn't say... Best to wait for one of the smarter members to take a look and comment. One other thing I forgot to ask is about how you're providing humidity and air exchange, and what the RH is in your fruiting chamber....

the PF Albino has a tendency to produce smaller fruits.
it's quite the abnormal strain.

the bluing is also very common and much more prevalent in this
strain than others due to it's lack of pigment. It is very sensitive.


that being said, fruit size is most dependent on water delivery
technique being optimal.
The substrate is a pumping station per se. Like a sponge for the
shrooms to draw from.
Anyway, be sure to use a better substrate than what you used before.
PF is not an optimal substrate for cased substrates by any stretch.

Look into horse manure, coco coir, worm castings, and things along
that line.
You're looking for a spongy texture to the substrate.

Also your substrate should hold much more nutrients than one that
is over half vermiculite, like a PF substrate.
If you do add vermiculite to a substrate, I recommend hydrating it
in nutrient rich water first,
like the water left over after pasteurizing bulk substrate material
such as horse manure or coco coir.

Now that you understand how to make trays, apply casing,
and get the trays to fruit, you should move to bulk.


there are two options that I use for bulk:

Finished substrate in filter patch bags, sterilized and inoculated with tons of LC, or

Grain spawn sterilized and inoculated, colonized, and spawned to
a pasteurized bulk substrate material.

wow, I believe I'm rambling now...
