Blue Meanie Mono Tub
#11448136 - 11/13/09 02:11 PM (14 years, 6 months ago) |

I posted a few threads in various forums showing the progress of this tub, but here is the official thread for it.
Inoculated 6 Jars of WBS with Blue Meanie (MS) - Lost one jar to black cobweb(lipstick mold?)

- spawned with 5 quarts(WBS) of Blue Meanie into a 50 qt bin. - sub depth is 3.75 inches. - Ratio is between 1:3 and 1:2.
Coir/Coffee/Verm/Gypsum (4/1/4/1)
Pasteurized for 2 and a half hours between 165 - 185 in a pillow case. Used coffee with the water since I was low on grinds for my substrate. Rang dry by twisting the pillow case and squeezing out excess liquid into a big bowl.
Waited 18 hours, and spawned to it. -No casing layer. -Evenly mixed.

Fully Colonized in 10 days, waited an extra 5 days to introduce to fruiting conditions.

Left the polyfil out for 2 days to allow excess moisture in the bottom of the tub to evaporate.
Temp has been between 71-73 with humidity fluctuating between 87 and 94 percent.
(21 days later)First Pin:

(25 days later)More Pins: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/upload.php?action=viewthumb&imgpl=3&imgpp=12&screen=1&folder=&search=
(Today)Beginning of first flush:


No pins till day 25, is that abnormal? Seems like a long time. Its turning winter in the northeast now, could that be slowing me down? The heat in my home fluctuates between 69-74 so I doubt it.

ive been having problems with temps too and i live in the north also, averaging bout 59-70 degrees in my grow area. It seemed to take forever for the first flush to fruit but they were completly solid tho. i was thinking about getting a small space heater but dont have money at the moment.

Yeah, that bumps my electric bill up a hundred dollars. This may be my last grow for a while. Luckily I have a fishtank heater on hand that I can use for colonizing wbs jars, but for fruiting conditions I'm not sure what I can do.
Just checked the tub again, that fatty on the left is over an inch in diameter and already 5 inches tall, cant wait to see how much bigger it gets, the veil isnt even visible yet.
I'd like to learn how to make an isolate of it.

i think he said that because pan cyans have been referred to as "blue meanies" for a long time, where i live at atleast. names are flexible though.

Hey don't get too upset, I DIDNT NAME THE STRAIN.
Yeah that fatty on the left is the biggest I have ever grown, doesnt feel very hollow either. How can I go about cloning that sucker? I've heard of mycelium on agar, and also cutting off a piece of mushroom near the base of the stem but apparently it reaches seaceance(sp?) too soon?
If this was your tub, how would you go about isolating/cloning?

i take a fruit not to big not to small and cut a peace from the base and one from the top of the stem right were you removed the cap. you would have to isolate from there. a clone is not going to be an isolate

I was unaware that clones were different from isolates, I have a lot to learn. Think I can learn it in time before harvest?

you just did you have to do a few transfers of anything to isolate. at first it is usually like this then i transferred that a few times and i will take that further probably
