Modok's 1st PFtek grow! (pics)
    #14012586 - 02/23/11 09:42 AM (13 years, 10 days ago)

This is my first grow using the PFtek and so far cakes are certainly an experience :wink:. About five years ago, I did a couple of small grows using WBS and it's strange how different the PFtek is going so far. My interest in mycology has quadrupled since my first foray into the world so I'm excited to learn whatever anyone wants to share. It's been awhile since I've delved into a project like this & I can't seem to ever get off of this message board. It's the best resource out there, hands down.

Right now, I have five cakes dunked and rolled in a SGFC with two half cakes(long, silly story). They were placed in the FC about a week ago and so far the only real activity is one lone soldier who I posted about earlier. He was an in vitro pin and sprouted up quickly. His growth seemed stunted so I read through countless posts and decided rehydration seemed to be the best idea.

I placed each cake in a tiny pool of water -- waited 3 hours and turned them over. After another three hours, I noticed that almost all of the cakes had sucked up the water with only one exception. Put them all back on tin foil, went to bed, and woke up to a fully mature mushroom instead of the stub of one earlier. Leads me to believe that maybe these guys were just begging for some water. Still no sign of growth beyond mycelium pushing through but I know that I just need to be patient.

before:


12 hours later, after water:




Regardless of the lack of progress, I am still feeling excited. I find mycology really fascinating. I've been reading up into agar and I think that's going to be my next project but until these suckers start pinning, my focus will be on the already existing cakes.

Thanks to everyone who posts information on this board. Much appreciation to all of you. :mushroom2:
