First Time Grow. Freestone Texas on Rye
    #14077632 - 03/06/11 08:11 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)



SWIM Started with four 1 lb rye grain bags. Inoculated on 2/12 with Freestone Texas strain. Not a lot of activity until this:



SWIM was afraid that one or two had succumbed to cobweb mold, however that was premature worry. SWIM knows everyone suggests using jars and decided to make some as well. More info in next upload.

A few days later. There is a lot more growth. This one has growth on the TOP of the bag. Amazing.

SWIM was drunk when taking these pictures. Quality suffers.


At this point, SWIM made 10, half pint jars and inoculated with an amazonian multispore syringe.

3 PF Style Jars - Amazon about a week old. Used 2 Ball half pint, wide mouth freezer jars and a pint, regular mouthed canning jar. Surprisingly, SWIM had no problems with them, figured they would, but it's not over til it's over.
Jar 1:

Jar 2:

Jar 3:


Spawn Bags are in good shape. SWIM was impatient and decided to disperse the mycelium throughout the bags, probably too early. Perhaps SWIM didn't break it up properly, I'm not sure, but they seem to be doing fine. One bag was completely colonized. SWIM decided to break it up again and try to case it, but when broke it down to small chunks, SWIM noticed a lot of blueish green mycelium. Not sure if it was full blown Trich or blue-green mold, SWIM decided to wait over night. Looking at it now, it seemed to have disappeared. SWIM is not sure if s/he should case it now or wait.

Broken up bag:


Other bags:



It seems I have a lot of excess moisture, not sure what to do about that, or if it's normal. This IS SWIM's first time :tongue:

Yeah, SWIM kinda just bought these from a sponsor. Figured the smaller the bag, the less time to colonize, and therefore less time they're really vulnerable to contams. Out Grow really is the shit. If SWIM decides to go with bags from here on out, they're gonna try bulk.

Just to bump: I cased the bag in question. Probably a little too early. We'll see how things turn out in 3 - 5 days.

Starting to pin.

Yeah, very blurry, I know.

I got a lot of side pins, some are bruised. Shoulda used a bigger tub, or one that's sturdier. Anyways, really excited.

Congrats to U.
I bought some 1lb bags of rye that are just about ready, but I'm trying to wait to the last minute to get the most of them.
Congrats again!!

SWIM got em from K mart. Made a batch of 10 of em, but only knocked up 2 because SWIM wasn't sure how well they'd work. One of the Purple lids ended up cracking when steaming them. They're doing amazingly. Amazonian must be a really aggressive colonizer. Look at this growth.

Maybe the high moisture content causing all the rhizomorphic growth in the dry verm layer? Any way, SWIM hopes they're done in the next week.

The casing is doing very well. SWIM noticed they have more aborts than pins, but it's getting there.

NEED SOME HELP :P

Should SWIM be concerned? SWIM assumes this is just bruising from not maintaining high enough humidity, however SWIM isn't sure.


The last one is from where it was touching the side of my tub. SWIM removed it from the tub earlier today. it's not soft or excessively wet, nor smelly. SWIM is going to see how it goes, if it gets worse, SWIM is just going remove them. Should SWIM do that now?

Looks dry as hell in there.
That cap is cracking from being so dry.
Are you even misting/fanning them?

SWIM does, once every several hours, SWIM doesn't understand. I ordered an ultrasonic humidifier, but it won't be in for a week or two :frown:

What do you have that in.? SGFC?
Maybe move to a smaller container to keep the RH up.

Yeah, it's a 58qt sgfc. 6 inches of perlite. Thanks for the help. Should SWIM be concerned about contams though, at all?

Misting too little, too often.
Are you spraying it in the air so it can waft down like a girl trying on perfume?

See, that's the trouble. Just spray the block. Wet it down good.
But give this one a quick dunk first if you think you can do it carefully.

SWIM generally just sprays the whole casing, directly. SWIM usually also sprays the perlite daily to make sure it's moist. Thanks for all the advise guys, should SWIM harvest the bruised fruits?

UPDATE:
3 dry ounces later, they're still going strong. Dunked each mini tub once now, plan on doing it until they're overtaken. SWIM implemented an ultrasonic humidifier and small computer fan, and have had no problems.

The amazonian is doing well too, SWIM had about an ounce from just the 2 PF jars.

Plan on making spore prints soon, however SWIM feels as if they're not experienced enough, but will try. Trial and error. Doing a monotub next, not sure what strain to use, but plan on using liquid culture to rye, and then to compost. Any suggestions?

Interesting side note SWIM, took a dry 1.5g mushroom, friend took a 1.2g mushroom before heading to Cleveland to see a friend's art exhibit. SWIM or his friend wasn't driving. SWIM was tripping extremely hard, uncomfortable. Friend enjoyed the buzz until he suddenly said he was getting sick, so the car pulled over on the side of the freeway. A second later, the friend has a seizure, was twisting and muscles were contorting. Fucking scary. Was really afraid that SWIMs fruits had some toxic mold or something, but later found he's hypoglycemic, and didn't eat anything that day. Was so scary, SWIM had drugs on hand, thought the friend was dying, and was on the side of the freeway with hazard lights on. Luckily things turned out fine, aside from the friend biting the shit out of his tongue. That caused SWIM to sober up enough to enjoy the buzz. They ended up having an amazing day, tripping and looking at art. Also, SWIM recently started classes at community college. SWIM wishes they could go into the biology field to study more fungi, but figured just keep it a hobby for now.

Yeah, it was the freestone. Others have reported they're extremely strong, but probably do to the fact they're fresher than what most are used to. SWIM has yet to test the amazon, but others have told me they're milder and more... pleasant.

Good tek for the dehydrator too, SWIM wants to make one.
