hippie, maybe you should read up on some good cultivation books.

you tell me one where it says that cubies respond to cold shock.

btw, lowering the temp from 85* (incubation) to 70* (fruiting), a drop of 15 degrees, is NOT 'cold shocking'.

then explain to me how i've been able to grow hundreds of batches over the last 10 years and never once bothered to cold shock my cubies.

then go over to ADM and try explainng to the growers there how they aren't supposed to be getting good crops because they don't cold shock their cubies either.

I've had excellent results with putting jars in the fridge overnight immediately before birthing. Leaving them in for ca 3 hours seems to lead to a minor improvement. -MG

Put them in the fridge for about 1 hour. That way, everything will reach about 40-50 degrees. Just make sure that your fridge's temp isn't set low enought to freeze them.
==========================here's one more just to beat it in.

Has anyone had any positive results by
putting PF (Cubensis) jars in the fridge
overnight to initiate pinning?
My buddy says he's done it on jars which
were colonized, but slow to pin.
It works on Shiitakes.

I just cover with saran wrap and pop them in the fridge for a couple of hours, and then back into the terarium, I do it 2 days in a row and lo and behold, pinning starts. I cover them so they dont get contaminated by fridge nasties.

told ya so.
