2nd Grow PE PF Tek + D&R + Shotgun [Update: 9/3]
    #10967531 - 08/30/09 05:03 PM (15 years, 4 months ago)

My first grow was over 10 years ago and I recently decided to have another go.  My first time was very successful and I was excited to see the difference with the more recent modifications of the PF Tek.

Anyway, as the subject says I decided to do a PF Tek with Dunk & Roll and a Shotgun FC using Penis Envy spores.  Attached are some pics I have taken so far.




Update: 8/31/09
couple pics showing the new juicy pin that showed up today and one showing the nice rhizomorphs on one of the older cakes.


Update: 9/1/09 10:23 AM
A few more pins on 2 of the 12 cakes.  I suspect these 2 are the B+.  I know one of them is a B+ but not sure which was the other one.  Some of the first born cakes showing bluing which is suggesting they may be drying out.  Most likely cause I ran a fan in the closet with them last night.  FC now moved to room with A/C set for 70F. Water added to perlite and heaving misting to re-boost humidity.



Update: 9/1/09 8:45pm
Decided to go ahead and give 4 of the 6 first born cakes without primordia a second 12hr dunk.


Update: 9/2/09 1:23 PM
4 of the 12 cakes have primordia showing now.  The 4 dunked cakes got a roll after 12hrs and were let to rest for an hour before giving them heavy mist every 30 minutes for 2 hours.  In the first runs I had trouble with vermiculite still blowing off after letting them rest for 30 minutes that I figured letting them rest a full hour might help.  This seemed to work well for me as not much vermiculite blew off in the initial misting cycle.



Updated: 9/3/09 10:13 AM
Today it appears that I have my first for sure PE pins.  These primordia formed distinctly slower then the others did and the have distinctly paler caps and seem more stalky and less bulbous.  This leads me to believe that the cakes that have pinned prior to this were indeed the B+ and the B+/PE cakes I made barring B+ fruit.  But only time will really tell but I am excited to have 5 cakes pinning and fruiting.  Now if the others would hurry up and get on with it. :smile:



Updated: 9/5/09 9:54 AM
Had a small 1st harvest of the 2 fruiting B+ cakes. Together they weighed in at 57.42 grams wet. I consumed about 15g of that and the rest in being dried now.  The harvest picture only shows the picked fruit from one cake, I forgot to take a pic of the other cakes harvest before it went in the dehydrator but you can see them in the cake there in the second row.

They are 3 weeks old so far, the six on the left were birthed a week ago and dunked 12hrs, then six on the right (which you will see in new pics) were birthed yesterday and got a 24hr dunk.  There are also two B+ cakes in here as I ran out of PE spores.  The the B+'s I think are on the upper left and right corners but I am not sure.  also somewhere there are 2 other cakes that have both PE and B+ but I think based on invitro observation that the Pe myc took over but curious to see what happens.  The rest of my B+ spores ended up going into 3 LC tests. 1 molassas+H2O, 1 raw sugar +H2O, and 1 standard Light Karo+H2O.

Wow, nice monotub and LC's feelfunny!  I am thinking I may expiriment with casing some of the cakes after a flush or 2 to get some experience with casing.  Eventually I would like to give the Monotub a go which I may do on my next full grow.

well you can case a cake after you have a flush but there are contams on the outside now and not much nutrients to recolonize so it is not recommended

I am aware of that but thought it might be fun to try anyway, or just a pseudo-casing as in breaking up and putting in a pan to try and invoke more flushing as I have seen in at least one thread here.  But I shall see when the time comes.

This morning one of my first born cakes has 1 big fat juicy pin popping out the side.  Yay!  I will wait a bit more before posting pic updates.  The rest of the first born cakes all have nice strong looking rhizomorph structures poking out into the air.  The second born cakes are showing nice fluffy mycelium growth.

Looks good can't wait to see the flush... are you going to D & R after every flush?

Yeah Fungus, I am planning to do a D&R after each flush.  And after reading RR's thoughts on casing well, I think I may not even bother anytime soon.

I was hoping for more pins this morning and I did get one on the same cake that pinned yesterday and the previous pin is growing like crazy but no other developments.  the temp has been fairly steadily 80F in the closet space I was keeping them so I decided to move them to an A/C'd room were I can hopefully keep a more steady temp in to 70F-75F range.

Wish my hygrometer would show up soon so I can test the Rh although I am fairly certain it's pretty good.

Edit: Well I stand corrected, there is actually several more small pins this morning on the same cafe near yesterday solo pin.  I also noticed one of the older set turning blueish and the top verm on it was really dry. Adding 2 cups of water to perlite and misted like crazy.  going to keep an eye on it.  may need to dunk the oldest ones that are not fruiting yet.

I should note that this is probably cause I put a fan in the closet last night thinking they may not be getting enough FAE but seems that probably just sucked out the humidity and dried the cakes a bit.  Not doing that again.
