PES-A MCM (Moar Coffee Mono) with pics!
#14048035 - 03/01/11 11:27 AM (13 years, 4 days ago) |

- Cube Variety:
PES-A (Multi-Spore) MS
- Spawn:
Yeasty Dark Rye Grain, 100% colonized for over a month, Showed signs of Bacteria but seemed to recover It was exposed to excess ambient temps of 90°/96° Visible signs of Metabolites, but recovered well.
- Substrate:
1 Brick of Coco Coir, (8 Qts) 3 Qts of Fine Vermiculite, 2 Cups of Gypsum 2 Cups of Perlite 4 Qt jars of SCG (Spent Coffee Grounds) Actual Volume of SCG was approximately 35%-50% of Total Substrate
Making it roughly a 1:3 or 1:2 Sub/Spawn Ratio
   
   
   
   
Light and Cycle:
2700k 60watt regular bulb Standard 12/12 during the pinning stage
After that the schedule fluctuated between a few hours a day and sometimes days without light. Sometimes an Off/On Pulse of light 2hrs On/ 2hrs Off Growth seemed to "explode" when I did this, Especially towards maturity. I watched a fruit body grow 3" in an afternoon
Cold fruiting is slow enough as it is.
FAE:
Pretty much the same schedule as the light cycle in terms of turning on the fan and manual fanning
Fruiting Temps
65°/68° (Cold Fruiting)
   
Wet Weight:
1,787g -68 for the trey = 1,719g = 60.63oz
Projected Dry Weight
6.06 oz Dry (Carry the decimal to the left one place)
Just wanted to share my grow, Hope you Enjoyed!

I used 4qts (1 gallon) of water just like it says in Damions tek. The Coffee grounds are brought to field capacity before being mixed in so there isnt a need for more water and the extra qt of verm just keeps it airy and a tiny bit dryer.

I would caution using this for a first try, only because it seems to be good form around here to do so.
If you do try this I would strongly suggest paying very close attention to "proper" Pasteurization of the Coffee grounds.
I mix in the perlite with the coffee, that way the perlite has some nutes.
I never go above or below 150°f during pasteurization of the coffee grounds and I bring the internal temps up for a full hour or more and reset the timer for at least another hour.
   
Most people will suggest 5%-10% Coffee grounds if you are going to use them. Thats pretty much all that is needed I guess to get your "N" (Nitrogen)Boost
Coffee has a bad rep for contams, I personally havent experienced it so all I can say is proper past seems to be key.
If it is your first time using Coir for a bulk tek, then I would leave out the perlite and coffee.
just use Damion5050 Coir Tek If you want to add to it, just toss in 2 cups of gypsum and 3 qts of Edited:perliteVerm and you will be golden.
Make your first go as easy as you can, get the confidence and taste of success first then make adjustments accordingly.
If you need the D5050 coir tek link just click the Amu in my siggy find his name and its in his siggy.
Hope this helps.

damn man! LOVE THE MONSTERS!!!
-------------------- We think we have freedom, but we're all just mice in a maze.... 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 ;-)~~~~~

haha, thanks, I wish that were true, well actually no I dont, I rather enjoy the wonder, it keeps me young and sharp, I loath the day I haven't anymore questions...
Each grow I learn something new and it takes me somewhere new.
I have yet to grow a cake like you, I am starting cakes soon for the Amu Genetics Library, this will give me plenty of reason to start 2 SGFC with multiple variety's and strains
So its your heatshock tek I will be using.
