GT - First Grow Journal - 5-16-10 - Fruit-o-rama
    #12352367 - 04/07/10 11:13 PM (14 years, 9 months ago)

\Well, first off, hello everyone. I'm Cryptix420, and I'm delighted to be a member of these forums :smile:

I have decided to post up a grow journal here, to share my grow with you all as well as to get a little advice as it is my first attempt. Anyone with knowledge to share is greatly welcome.

Well, here are all the pics I have so far. as of now, I'm in about day 10 of colonization, and about 7 of the jars have started to show healthy growth. The other 5 I'm pretty sure are duds.

The Equipment







Going In for Sterilization






Inoculation





Day 5 - First Signs of Growth



Day 7





Day 9 - 7 Jars showing multiple germination points

Day 10 of Growth



Also, 2 of the 5 jars I thought were duds have started showing growth!

Got my ultra-sonic humidifier in today as well. I'm open to any ideas as to how to implement it into my fruiting chamber (rubbermaid tub/perlite)

This humidifier is great. I think it's really going to speed things along.



Also, if any of you wanted to know exactly what my incubation setup looks like, here it is. Not much, lol.

While they are colonizing they don't need any humidify and keep the temps at room temp 70-75F. Take that towel off the jars and put them on a shelf/cupboard somewhere.

The humidifier wont help them colonize faster and the towel on top of them will slow things down they need to breath (GE)

GE= Gas Exchange

I see. Thanks for the tips.

Without the humidifier my room's RH drops to about 20%...should I still keep it on to keep the whole room more humid?

Right now there's no need to run a humidifier. Once you get your fruiting chamber built and see what the RH is in it then you can decide if you need to run it or not

I was under the impression from what I read that if the RH in the room is too low during incubation then the moisture in the jars will evaporate leaving the cakes dry.

Is this not true?

No I find it not to be true. I live in a semi desert climate it can get very very dry here and have not have any problems with cakes drying out while colonizing

i just colonized my last 10 BRF cakes in fairly sealed box in a dresser drawer. opened it for a min or two every day but htats it and they all colonized perfectly.

as for implementing the humidifier into your fc, find some rubber tubing that will fit over that nozzle and run it through a hole (sealed around the edges) straight into your FC, right between your cakes if you can...then punch a bunch of holes in the tubing where your cakes will be and it'll get rid of all the Co2 that settles at the bottom as well as give FAE and help with pinning. from my exp anyways.

this is mine its on a reptile humidifier, nowhere near as powerful as yours so its thinner tubing and you prob cant see the holes:

So I have a few questions..

Do places like Lowes/Home Depot usually carry the kind of rubber tubing I would need, or should I just resort to the internet?

When I start the fruiting chamber, do the lids that come with the clear rubbermaid tubs have sufficiently tight lids, or is something like press & seal wrap preferred?

When I dunk & roll, should I refrigerate them during the dunk part? Theres seems to be a lot of confusion on this.

Can I just dunk them individually in the jars that they colonized in, after a good washing?

Is it this excruciating for everyone, waiting for your first colonization to finish?

The lids that come with the totes are fine

Cubes dont benefit from a cold shock, dont dunk them in the fridge

Don't dunk them in the jars they will expand and are a pain to get out. Dunk them in a pot or a huge bowl and make sure they are weighed down so they stay submerged

Yes, I'm following your Tek this weekend for my first attempt at cultivation and didn't read anything about inverting the jars. It seems like you put a lot of emphasis on gas exchange during colinization and I have to think inverting them would limit that.

'PF Tek Done Right Tek' has been incredibly helpful by the way!

Muchas gracias. I'll just use my pressure cooker to dunk them all in at once, and put the lid on to keep germs out. Would a little Lysol hurt the cakes?

Also...a few of the jars are pretty much done colonizing. Is it true I should wait another week to birth them?

So, I have 9 jars that are done colonizing, 2 in PMT's, and 1 that never did anything. One in the PMT looks like it might be a bit waterlogged, probably from the overpowering humidifier. The other one, however, is starting to look like it's morphing into a white cactus. I can only hope this is what is called "pinning" and I will be seeing some fruits soon.

By PMT do you mean PMP. Remember even with a PMP still fan it 5-6+ times a day. The spiky looking stuff off the cakes could be arial myc. Take a photo if you can

PMT, PMP, it's all the same. Mine's kind of a mix between a pod and a terrarium. I have one set up where I have it sealed in a tupperware container and fan several times a day (perlite at the bottom as well) and this is the one that I think might be pinning. The other one is in a big water jug that was cut in half, with the humidifier blowing in the top and passing through and out a slit in the bottom, as to supply constant FAE.

I'm pretty sure it's pinning. Or maybe I just hope, lol. They're tiny little white points everywhere, and some look like they have brown tips.

I'd take a pic, but all I have right now is my camera phone. No bueno.

Here's a crappy picture I took with my phone. The cakes looks like it's about to burst with a bunch of growth. I'll be sure to post any fruiting porn this weekend with my camera.

Well, I've got 7 cakes dunked & rolled in the fruiting chamber, 1 lost to some weird fermentation-smelling contamination during the dunk, and 3 finishing up colonization. I noticed a little yellow on one of the jars today...is this metabolites, or something worse?

Get that tub up off of the floor!

You should keep your grow at least a foot from the floor.

If those cakes smell nasty then you got a little more than metabolites going on. Lets hope not.

Your sg could use some more perlite, and it looks as though it could use a few more holes too.

You should fan that tub several times a day and mist your cakes whenever they show any signs that they are drying.

The pressure cooker would work perfectly. Especially since it has a tray just the right size to help submerge the cakes. Just put something heavy on top of the tray.

Alright, I wasn't sure if it was too close to the floor, but thanks for the feedback :smile:

The cakes don't smell bad, just the one did and I threw it away.

I mist & fan about 7-8 times a day and I ran out of perlite :P Gotta go get some more. Stores are all out for some reason... :hissyfit:

Thanks again!

It's right at 99%. I also have an Ultrasonic Humidifier in my room, so that may help.

I don't see much, but don't worry it takes like a week to see real pins, start preparing your drying chamber DampRid (cheap dissecant) can be found at home depot in the paint section, though its meant to hook up to your toilet...go figure

That metabolite looking shit was the mycelium fighting with a cobweb mold colony.  That's a really interesting picture actually, you can see a clear divide between what cube mycelium and cobweb mycelium look like.  One's rhizomorphic and thick and the other is cobwebby and thin.

This one:



Kind of looks like the cubes are winning, hah.  But I would chuck that jar if you haven't already.

Hm, maybe I'm wrong I guess, but that stuff definitely doesn't look right.  Does it smell ok?  If it smells like dust at all, I would chuck that thing before it starts getting ugly.

That's not true at all. Manually fanning passing air over cakes after misting them aids in the evaporation of water from the cake,which is a major pinning trigger.

Any additional FAE after misting will majorly help pinning performance

I have a proper PMP and still fan with excellent results , fanning ALWAYS helps

I still beg to differ, If your getting 7 air exchanges an hour and 100%, the rest is wasted energy.

Hell, you can run the pump like 4 hours a day only and still get compareable results.

Air entering the bottom of the chamber and though perlite is alot different then passing over the surface of the cake.

The results are not the same. I have seen different results from not fanning a PMP and fanning a crap load. You can fan 12 times a day and it would not be a "waste"

Thats why you have the holes in the top, to create an air current . .

I've seen results like that from a mono tub! IMO no point in a pumpif your going to fan it, just imo.

OK DUDE, here is the proof from the designer of the PMP himself, Magash.

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/1303334

He says "The air pump runs non stop. There are 2 small holes at the top for airflow. No fanning just ad water every every 2 weeks. "

Also when you take off the top, your humidity goes way down and takes time to build back up, hence "wasted energy"

The Rh goes back up quickly. Look at a Shotgun people fan them 10+ times a day I used to fan mine every 2 hours at times would you call that a waste.

Humidity builds up fast. like I said I have seen results from not fanning my PmP and fanning it.

Also Magash's PMP thread is 7 years old alot has been learned since then

Not if you have cakes pinning at different times Also keeps contams down and helps evaporate water after you mist since lots of standing water on mushrooms is not a good thing

Your actually keeping all your mushrooms in pristine condition, extremely clean,if you dont do that crap. Makes it much easier to get pristine prints.

Misting is very important and should not be ignored just becuase its in 99% humidity. Misting replaced the water lost from fanning and natural evaporation.

I have never had a problem with taking sterile prints

There is no where for the water to evaporate too if you polyfill your holes. It just drips back down like rain.

Then you would have water logged cakes which is a very bad thing. Also there is no need for poly fill on a PMP and water evaporating can still make its way though poly fill or any other small cracks.

You want water to evaporate and then replace it with misting.
If you notice your cakes are very water logged after a few hours then your FAE need to be upped

And they get all that with the pmp. No contaminate can get in there, except below the bed of perlite, unless you put it in there.

Mold spores can find there way into a PMP no problem, but that is not a problem with fully colonized subs and lots of fresh air.

Fanning actually helps keep contams down. Also you will not get the same effect manually fanning as you would with a pump pumping air though water/perlite on the bottom

As long as your pmp is on, and there is positive pressure built up, creating an air current blowing out of the tub, some random spore cannot fly into it.

There are already mold spores on your cakes when you set them in the FC at the beginning or when you make your FC or replace the water or from the pump sucking air in from the outside.

if you open your window going 90 down the freeway there is constant air coming in! HOW DOES THE AIR GET OUT?? if it just shot out c02 constantly how would they get oxygen? it has to come in from the outside air. and you are completely arguing against yourself now.

PMP will not work this way its not a laminar flow hood. Put a petri dish in your FC and see for yourself

Air currents in a PMp are very turbulent and not going to help keep mold out. but Like I said that's not a problem since fully colonized subs are contam resistant couple that with lots of fresh air and you should not have any problems

Theres nothing turbulent about the air exiting the tub. Depending on your pump, the force should be steady. I actually use 2 pumps. And in regards to putting the petri dish inside. There will be way too much water pooling inside of the petri dish to make it a fair experiment. As this is a fruiting chamber, that I feel is grossly underestimated.

Air entering the chamber though the perlite(that is not always 100% level) and water, around the cakes does not make it a nice steady non turbulent air flow that will cause the impossibility of mold from entering the chamber. If your chamber is getting so wet that water is retaining on the cakes and dripping back on the cakes then you need alot more FAE ALOT ALOT MORE and obviously the pump is not going to do that alone.

Cakes benefit from getting wet and then drying out/evaporating

Actually, the air enters into the water that has a small amount of h202 in it. then it proceeds through the perlight with is floating on top of the water.

Adding h2o2 wont do anything it will quickly revert back into h2o. Also no matter the order of how the air enters the bottom of the PMp is still is not a fool proof way of keeping mold spores out.

Also the perlite should not be "floating" that means you have too much water

oh i know this.. i have been reading this thread since you guys started lol it has been amusing to say the least. maybe he can have a flowhood running 24/7 then have his air pump pumping air from the flowy!

Have you even seen spores land on the tops of your tallest mushrooms before ?? Its quite odd.

It happens do to air currents proving that even in a PMP the pump will not create enough negative force to  push spores up and out

That looks nice man, good job!  In case you're wondering why there's those "racing stripes" on the stem, as well as why those pins are looking weird, it's a contamination called verticillium.  Nothing to worry about, but those things are likely going to start looking pretty strange soon.

Yours is a mild case, but it can get pretty gnarly looking.

"those knarley looking ones (veils peeled down the stem, stripes, funky stems) have "Verticilium" (a harmless bacteria that only affects the mushroom) and is completely fine to eat, just makes 'em look a bit weird"

Nice grow man, enjoyed your log outside of those two having a pissing contest.

I just got done building my PMP today. I noticed you had many holes in yours, did you make some kind of SG/PMP hybrid FC? Looks like you had some good results :smile:

Thanks  :hillbilly:

Well, at first I had an impromptu PMP set up as to house the cake that colonized way early. After the rest finished, I moved them all into the official SG.

Also, I don't know if it really makes a difference, but every so often I gently squirt a little water onto the tops of the cakes, just enough so there's no pool. I think I read about it somewhere being referred t as a "slow dunk".

You should be misting the cakes 3-4 times a day then fanning after. Fan 5-6+ times a day
