What are some causes for an uneven flush?
    #12590957 - 05/19/10 09:11 AM (14 years, 7 months ago)

I have tried using the search function but didn't find any answers for the question of what causes uneven flushing, just people asking if it is OK to harvest as they mature and leave the other pins to continue maturing.

I have 5 PF cakes that are all having very uneven flushes and I am curious as to what I may have done that caused this so I can knock it off for next time.

The first cake produced 3 mushrooms weighing around 35g fresh total, then produced a couple more pins and halted growth (one of the pins has turned blue and a couple new ones have begun growing very slowly, it took me a while to even notice them). I think that one may be ready for a dunk already after only 3 mushrooms..:frown:..

However a couple others have produced a equivalent amount of mature fruit as that and have significantly more pinning occurring, but at a slower growth rate than the initial fruit bodies from the cake. One cake I harvested a couple mature ones, maybe 20 grams or so fresh and have had a beautiful pin set of 11 pins that I was very excited about but since the initial harvest they have begun growing VERY slowly, for the last 5-6 days I have seen very little growth in them, maybe a 1/4 inch in length, the cap still has yet to turn into a "ball" on any of them.

I have one theory, I could only find the stupid tall 1/2 pint jars and during colonization I noticed the top half of the cake had fully colonized and pulled away from the jar while the bottom of the cake took another 2 weeks to colonize and I birthed them 3 days after the bottom of the jar finished colonizing, allowing the top half of the jar to be significantly further along in the process.

The answer is multispore.

I would agree.

After reading the Strain Info thread,I believe if you are going to use MS then you should go with a strain that is very domesticated and/or well isolated like A Strain,B+,Equador,Golden Teacher,Gulf Coast,KSSS...

Those are the specific strains that Cervantes mentioned being great candidates for MS inoculation...but that's not to say that there aren't more that are great candidates for MS inoculation,just that those were the only ones I saw listed as great candidates for ms inoculation.

I would assume that Amazon,South American,Cambodian and Brazilian would be on that list of good candidates for MS inoculation but I could be wrong and we all know the saying about assuming...

I'm confused by your responses.. I knocked all the cakes up with Cambodian, I didn't use a multispore syringe, so unless there was a quality control issue with the vendor of the syringe it shouldn't be multispore.

If you received a syringe from a vendor... it's multispore(I would hope).

Almost any strain you buy from a vendor will be well domesticated depending on how new it is (even APE is well domesticated in my opinion). The key that I have found to having an even flush is to give the proper amount of time for your spawn run and allowing the substrate to prepare for fruiting roughly 1 week after 100% colonization.

I'm sure genetics can play a role here too but I have fruited many multispore substrates over the years and find that whenever I deprive a substrate of proper colonization, I get a sporadic flush.

Do not deny the classical approach, simply as a reaction, or you will have created another pattern and trapped yourself there.

Oh I think i miss understood multispore haha my bad. I was thinking it was spores from multiple sub-strains mixed together, not having more than a single spore in the syringe.
