about to birth first cake. a few questions
    #14108008 - 03/12/11 09:16 AM (12 years, 10 months ago)

i'm very tired and will go to bed right after i write this.  not that you need to know this, but it is affecting me in ways right now which may be apparent to you reading this.

yes, so i noticed three jars which are fully colonized in my incubator today.  i've inoculated from a lq ( i am mostly a noob but i'm a step beyond and not just ordering expensive spore syringes for every ten jars)

i've been making a lot of jars because i enjoy prepping it all and then shooting them up.  so there will be no lack of a final product, once the first fruits come, because until i get around to doing bulk grows i will probably just make a dozen or more jars a week and keep compiling them and just grow them invitro until i have the house air conditioned.

right, so anyways, when i grew back earlier this decade, i grew invitro as well as other basic methods.  i remember dunking after birthing each cake, but i also remember people were talking about cold shocking, and this is something i did at the time.  i would just empty the dry verm from the top of the jar and fill it with cold water, then refrigerate the filled jar with the colonized cake for 12+ hours.

is this cold shocking method outdated now?  i've been lurking for awhile now and have seen no one talking about this, and the RR video posts didn't mention this either.  i am curious.  if i remember right, it was to trigger pinning? 

also, i know you are supposed to let the colonized cake sit for a week longer before birthing, but because i have no shortage of them i'm going to birth just one so i can have a few mushrooms a week earlier.

1st if you are talking of cubensis I have found a cold shock to do me no good. If anything I think it may slow down myc growth at a vital point when you want it to be most aggressive.

Use the search engine & check out heat shocking for increased pin sets if you want to experiment a little. :thumbup:

2nd birthing a cake before the consolidation week will only make it take a week longer before fruiting. It will also make it more prone to contams as the center may still be uncolonized.

From what I gathered cold shocking has no place in cube growing
