My First Grow!! (GT/B+ BRF cakes) **PICS**
    #9952283 - 03/11/09 03:08 PM (15 years, 20 days ago)

I started my grow last friday (3/6/09)...
PCed for about an hour at about 15PSI
for more info on what happened before this log starts, take a look at this thread:
Some questions from a beginner

the substrate at the bottom of the jars turned a little whitish (from water i think) so its a little harder to see my mycilium growing.

so here i am...
- (3/11/09)
uploading first pics today... some growth in most of my jars.
i accidently injected about 1CC into one hole on one jar (took a bit to figure out the measurment markings) so i think thats the one on the top left (with the most growth)

anyways... heres a couple pics.


-(2/13/09)
just got back from a little trip.
My jars have really gone somewhere!!
(also a pic of my LC i did a couple days ago)


UPDATE: 4/17/09
if you've been watching my thread you've seen the pics so far through the pages. I decided to put my newest pics on the first page for easy veiwing :P


update 4/21-
been harvesting for a few days now.
wish everything would just come in at one time >.>
anyways heres some pics of the cakes i harvested, the results from them, and the casing i just harvested.









update!!

been harvesting my shrooms as they come in.
most are fruiting VERY unevenly.

but theres a couple comming in together on the second flush.
and my casing put off a cluster... ofc with a mutant >.>

pics:

thanks for looking :>

Good luck with your grow. I started with those exact same strains. B+ really impressed me in size and yield.

I just happened to have PC'd my medium(Wild bird seed) today. Right now I'm just waiting for it to cool down before I can get to work. Good luck!

thanks for all the support.

I dont feel like going out in the winter and looking for H poo so I think I'm just gonna dunk and roll them.

wow.
almost a week of nothing, now the jars are just exploding with growth!!
is that how it usually works? nothing... then colonizes fast?
either way, pretty much all the jars have signs of growth now... will prolly take some more pics in a couple days if things stay going at this pace.

you mean like this? http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/9947124/page/3

well this dude was disapointed with the method and I'd also suggest investing in at least a decent shotgun fc. clear tub with lid and a bit of perlite doesn't cost the world and makes a good item to have for cakes in my opinion.

you could also crublem them and spawn to some coir for a mono-tub but since it's the first time, the good old dunk and roll is probably to prefer.

and yeah it's normal for jars to speed up quite a bit after you see the first signs of growth. the spores need time to germinate but after that grow close to exponetial if there weren't limitating factors like gas exchange. they shouldn't take too long to get to 100% since they are half pint but don't forget to wait till they got a good hold on the sub. ( a week or so after full colonization)

hope it goes well
and you'll enjoy the fruit of your labour soon.

am i right to assume that it takes less time from birthing to fruiting then from inoculation to full colonization...

no one sees any contams right?

EDIT: I dont think that was what i was talking about in the link there...

Is it a problem to have mycelium growing out of the cake in difernt places near an injection site, or is that something else growing on the cake?

(first pic, second set, top right) theres some growing at the bottom, then some farther up, did it just kidna grow out of the cake there or is that something else?

:P
no, i mean theres growth like at the bottom of the jar (inside) on the cake... and a seperate area of growth about half way down the cake in the jar.

looks like it just randomly started growing in 2 places at the same inoc site.

I was going to do B+ for my first grow but  someone on here said that the last couple of batches that came from the specific vendor were contam'd.  I wish I would have took my chances but I did KSS instead.
