The Grow Log of a Noob
    #14117455 - 03/14/11 12:14 AM (12 years, 11 months ago)

Hello! I am New to posting and growing mushrooms, but ive been on for some time reading up and doin "homework". First off, let me say that you people are the most informed and intelligent cultivators ive found on the web. So, after many hours of reading tek after tek, i decided to give this a shot. I ordered spores, the video "lets grow mushrooms", bought all my supplies and now as of tonight im off to a good start. I went with the BRF cakes,and intend on spawning them to a Horse manure substrate in a Monotub. I was unable to find the correct 1/2 pt. jars (i live in a SMALL town, im talkin mayberry) so i purchased 1/2 pt. jelly jars instead. They will work im sure, they are just skinnier and a bit taller, but still wide mouth. I followed the video exactly as far as the cake ingredients and the sterilization techniques. Used micropore tape, Steamed my jars for a bit over 90 mins actually. Made my glove box, inoculated my jars, and now im here, writing this. I will keep you all informed and up to date with posts and pics in the days to come....

some people get by ok with jelly jars,but the odd shape of the jar may make colonization a hassle....look around online for some jars while these colonize if your town isn't the best place to shop.

Well, its been a couple of more days. The black spots are still there, although not growing, and it seems like the mycelium is covering it. Maybe it could be just spots where spores built up when i inoculated the jars?

I'm not really sure whether its trich or not but i would separate that jar from others and keep an eye on it. if you can try to get another pic in better light. The cultivators here are pros;)

Here is a pic from day 6...got alot of colonization goin on. The black spots are gone. The dark spots you see in the pic are just small openings in the brf/verm. I ground my own BRF and the verm i used was of a more coarse consistency than is recomended.

Besides other things, coarse verm is a HORRIBLE filter....+ the wrong jars there....Still can work though, jar doesn't look bad.


--------------------
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 figured that the coarse verm would be a bad filter. as soon as i use up the verm i have in the casing layer, im going to get the finer stuff. As for jars, i ordered them online yesterday. I mustve went ten different places looking for the right ones, all to no avail. As soon as i get them, im going to start some austrailian i have. The jars are still looking good. some jars are at 50% colonization already, others are taking their sweet time....lol. I have a shelf above where mywaterheater is enclosed, and it stays usually 75-80 there all day. If it gets a bit cold, i just do dishes or jump in the shower, and it brings the temp right back to where it should be. Thanks for all the advice so far everyone.

Well, its day 10.....a few jars are at about 80% i beleive....some are a bit slower.I posted an ad on craigslist last week looking for horse manure with no woodchips in it....i got like nine replies! so basically an unending supply. With manure being soo easy to obtain with a post that took about a minute to write, i can't understand why soo many people have trouble finding it. One lady even offered to deliver it to my place free of charge!:cool: Anyways, im posting a pic of one of the more colonized jars. I was thinking that if this grow goes good, perhaps it would be better if i built a martha in the near future? anyone have any advice on this? Thanks again everyone!

Hello all! Well, i am at 100% colonization now. All ten jars, not a single contam ....soo far. Tommorrow i am going to mix my pf cakes into my bulk substrate....mostly shredded Horse Manure, 10- 15% verm, and 5% gypsum. Its the same recipe that i got from RR's lets grow mushrooms video. I will be doing a little different in my pasteurization technique...im going to use a turkey size oven bag, put in water and bake at 165 degrees for 60 mins from the time the internal temp reaches the same. I hope all goes well, the strain is Argentina, and after i get the monotub up and growing, im going to start some Austrailian i have. anyone have any advice for me?
Here are what my jars look like.....

Just a quick question....my Horse Manure was dry and leached well, not fresh at all, it was all fibers when i broke it up. when i pastuerized it, it smelled like mushroom tea.....is that normal?
