First post, first grow, first pins in few pictures [updated 21 Feb]
    #13984289 - 02/18/11 12:02 PM (13 years, 15 days ago)

Sharing a bit of joy with the community I learned from all about the mycology.

For first grow I used B+ strain (spore print obtained from FSRE), rye tek, 750ml glassware, pressure cooker, 50/50 coco/verm casing

Here is rye PCed for an hour after being soaked for 24h ans simmered for 30min


After shoting the jars they went in improvised incubator I dint take picture of, but basically it is one big 2,5 liter jar full of water with aquarium heater suck into it. That gave me constant 28C (82F) with minimum risk of contamination.

Here is the jar after 3 days from injection


few days more...


few more days after this I took the jars out of the incubator, did the casing, covered with alufoil and kept in dark in room temp of 24C (75F) for a few days more until casing looked something like this


7 days more and then they went to FC which is nothing more than plastic box (image is little fuzzy as it was taken through the cover)



In this part of the apartment average temperature is around 21C (70F) since its by the window and its cold outside. Waited around 9 days for first pin


First pin apeared 4 days ago now and these last two images were taken minutes ago.Also I noticed some of the pins growing in narrow space between the Alu box and substrate so I decided to ditch the Alu box.Reason more were couple of yellow-brown spots on myc that can be seen on last image and looked to me like a rust...


Also, meanwhile I read about B+ high demand for water so I made kind of extra water reservoir with perlite so now the whole thing looks like a circus, but I hope I have done it quite clean


Thanx for reading and if you like the pics I will continue to post here  the whole diary...comments and criticisms are welcome

Two days have passed and they are doing nice. wish I had a time lapse camera at this point...

Looking good! In the future I would recommend fruiting by spreading the grain spawn on the bottom of the fruiting container and applying a casing.  This may work better or worse, but it is worth experimenting with.  The advantage of the abovementioned method is that it retains moisture better than free standing cakes do, as the spawn is never directly exposed to the air.
Also, I love your thermometer.  I need to invest in a hippo thermometer haha.

You don't need to simmer for 30 minutes, 10 will suffice. And congrats on your first grow/pinset! Not many get it on their first try, especially with grain lol. Your grain looks a little on the wet side though, how long did it steam dry? And one more thing, you don't need an incubator, room temperature is fine :P. Also, read up on bulk substrate.

Have funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn  :raveface:

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists & will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals so that security and liberty may prosper together.

hehe, thermometer is borrowed from one special girl, but she will not mind since she is still in her mothers stomach :smile:

Also I plan doing chasing like you described next time,  it just looked I didn't have enough substrate this time to cover whole bottom...

thanx :smile: It was not my first time. I had one try 4 years ago but without PC. The wet jar didn't look that wet live, I'm aware that on that image it looks like lots of water but you couldn't squeeze a drop of it by turning jar upside down for 30 sec. I read about incubators pros/cons and I guess I will skip it next time to try. Next time I'm trying bulk rye/rye transfer, chasing whole tub..etc...

thanx for comments

What did you case it with?  I think you should keep them in there trays next time in the FC


--------------------
The mushrooms, which grow only during the season of torrential rains, awaken the forces of creation and produce an experience of spiritual abundance, of an astonishing, inexhaustible constitution of forms that identifies them with fertility and makes them a mediation, a means of communion, of communication between man and the natural world of which they are the metaphysical flesh.

I cased with coir and vermiculite 50/50. I had some aluminium trays but they seemed to make some rusty stains on substrate..
For next flush if everything goes well I will try to cover this naked part of substrate with vermiculite...

The dollar store has a bunch of small plastic opaque containers that work good for these projects.  Next time you should try a true bulk tray.  It will take a few more days but will be worth it

FYI: I stole all my pix off google! F+ PORN! Here is a shit-ton of porn by yours truly!

I have FINALLY written up a couple teks as to how SHP has done things in the past. DISCLAIMER: This is not for the newbie to mycology, and not going to work for everyone! This is simply what works for one person when other teks and methods have failed miserably!
~~~~~How SHP does their unconventional WBS Prep!! (NO DRY METHOD)~~~~
~~~~~SHP's highly disputed method of doing ALL their work outside of a flow hood or a Still air box!~~~~~
~~~~~Troubles harvesting the side and bottom pins in your mono? Learn how!! Dunking included ;-)~~~~~

udated with timelapse video 7 sec, enjoy

video is recorded 1 shot per minute during period of 4 hours, exported in 30fps not 50 like filename says

If I manage I will record longer clip in next flush, but for now my batteries wouldn't live longer....

update:

First flush is finished, earlier than I thought I must admit. I always read that B+ are big spices in terms of fruits, and I expected some larger shrooms, but vails began to brake during the night so I  did the picking.

I took a picture with half dollar for comparison, so please tell me if  the fruit size is bellow average.

All in all, I'm satisfied for first flush of first grow which yielded total 260 grams fresh. Here are some pics just before and after picking
