thanks for reminding me, i have WBS outside soaking, ready to simmer and load in my 6 bag's that i was talkin about yesterday hahaha

Question, I have a FC on top of a different sized tub, I was going to pour boiling water into the bottom tub to heat the upper tub, (I dont have a space heater, heat lamp, my house doesn't get that hot), wondering if this is a good idea because otherwise i dont have much of a method for heating the tub. The problem I see is that I wouldn't be able to CONSTANTLY have the FC heated even with the water method; i just couldn't be there all the time to keep it warm.
Opinions? Ideas? Thanks guys. 2 weeks till fruit chamber!

you shouldn't need it
I myself fruit at 65 degree temp's, and happen to love the dense thick fruits that the temps provide..also in my personal opinion is the shrooms are a bit more potent..

Question.
(6) 1pint BRF/Verm jars colonizing (started last night) Was intending fully colonize/dunk/cut/roll/fruit in a big tub with a good few inches of perlite on the bottom mist/fan etc.
Then i got to thinking, Monotub is still an option.
I can go buy coir and i have alot of extra verm and perlite lying around.. Any suggestions on how to improve my yield??
They just started colonizing so I have probably about 2 weeks before I have to make up my mind.
Thanks alot
-M

if you want to improve your yeild, look up damion5050's bucket tek, works great for coir/verm add a bit of gypsum if you wnt but you dont have to...once fully colonized you can crumble and mix in with the coir/verm like he explains in his tek...let that fully colonize and start fruitin that bad boy

I just went and bought some Coco Husk.. They were out of coir.. Should work just the same. just gotta give it a bit more time to break down in the barrel.

UPDATE
As we all know Im pretty broke and dont have any fancy equipment so I did what the normal red blooded broke american does. I hit wal-mart. I picked up this 18 qt stock pot for 20 dollars. It has this nifty thing in the bottom to boost up your jars, and I had no idea til i got to the register. Saweeeeet.

Annddd because I left the lid in my friends trunk, This OTHER pot would have to serve as my lid. lol

After all my inoculation that I was much too busy to take pictures of, I wound up with my 6 pint jars, In a shoebox, Wrapped in a trash bag, and stored on the upper level of a closet with some towels over it.

While waiting i began to try to cut out my little rectangles for FAE with a very very dull razor. I shattered my box. (Thats what she said)

I got smarter, from the help of some posters here, and without a drill, I made use of a ratchet set and superheated the end, and burnt 10 holes, 3 in the longer sides, and 2 on both of the shorter sides

I wrapped the bottom half of the outside of the FC with gorilla tape..

Then covered the holes with smaller pieces of tape, using a small square of cardboard on the upper left edges to create and easy to remove cover.

I have no lid for this FC so I will be using 2 layers of seran wrap. I put it over the lid here to test how well i could seal it.

Here's what it looks like. Opinions? This waiting is killing me, im going to run out of prep work in a matter of days..

Thanks for the interest!

I cheated. I peaked at my jars after 2 days. I was in the same room as them tending to my bins and shit etc etc. I got all sweaty and nervous like a heroin addict. I had to check. 0 change. Dissapointed. Saw it comming. shucks.

you can take your jars out of that bag... on a shelf, with proper lids/verm layer, they will be fine at temps from 60-75F.
tub looks better after surgery.

Actually its a different tub from the one I kind of fucked up. But dont worry. I salvaged it.

Double the tubs! And oh yeah check out this plant that was in the waiting room of an office I was applying for a job at. I think they went shopping for fake plants at the wrong store.

Well its been 5 days.
There has been 0 change to my 1 pint jars. I dont see any mycelium growth. I used an entire syringe evenly dispersed across the 6 pints and im getting a little worried.
Is it common to see absolutely no change after 5 days??

Ive taken the jars out of the closet and placed them ontop of a bunch of towels in the shoebox ontop of a heater. I have them sitting inside the shoebox at around 79 degrees.

Well they sat at around 75 degrees all night.(ignore the temp reading there, it was adjusting, I ended up putting it inside the shoebox and it was around 76 degrees in there.)

This morning I took some pictures of the jars. They seem to have this cloudy greyish inside going on. Im not really quite sure what it is, maybe you guys will be able to tell me

Close up of the most colonized/contaminated jar.

Its scaring me a little.. Help!

Colonization time doesn't have much to do with WBS vs BRF cakes. If you want faster colonization times-- make an LC.

Went back and exchanged my "Coco Husk" for a brick of coir. I should have read the back of the labels the first time I went.. "Made from Coco Husk." .... Doh! Stupid labels not using terms I learned on shroomery...

Foils gone, but now the holes are only covered by the top of the shoebox. Makes me paranoid.

I read getting them used the 12/12 light cycle early is a good idea so what i did was stick them in an empty drawer and opened it for 12hrs and closed it for 12hrs. I also kept that exact cycle when i fruited.

Be patient bro. MS is slow to germinate. 6 days is nothing. Do this.. for the next 6-10 days, everytime you want to look at the jars, just masterbate instead.

That plastic plant is probably supposed to be a Japanese flowering maple. There are many different cultivars and certain ones can look very similar to weed. I actually have many of these growing throughout my yard. I think they are fun.

Thats an option when you have prints or spores. I'm bone dry ATM, so I'm twiddling my fingers, waiting on my babies to start sporulating.
When I finally get some spores i have 20lbs of wild bird seed, and a huge can of LME I'm gonna make LC's with.
Waiting blows..

I believed it helped. I went from ms to 120g fresh off 8 brf cakes in 27 days. It's just my first grow so i think its pretty good.Check it out http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/14249595

you think this part is exciting... wait till your first fruit is a day or two away from harvest and you're checking it every hour or two.

The less you look at them, the more there is to see when you do.
So put them away, blaze up, and make more jars.

Why? It takes 7-10 days for spores to germinate. The only thing that works faster is a liquid culture. I'd say you're making good head way.

12 days after inoculation. ALl but one jar is showing signs of life around this level, this is the biggest "clump".
Worst thing is that last night i had a dream I woke up and found all my jars fully colonized. Damn you brain.

You should punish your brain for that. I recommend drowning it in alcohol.

Did you push the needle down through the top verm layer before pushing any spore solution out, or did you spray it on top?

Technically there should be no nutrients in the dry verm... It's one thing yo reach up through it, it's another to start colonizing there...

looks like storing mycelium to me ,just be a little patient ive had jars that did nothing, and i was about to throw the out and got side track for a week or so , and when i went to toss them a week or so to later there was growth there, yeah it took almost three weeks for anything to happen, go figure, good luck

Day 16, Same jar. Suffered a casulty, 1 of group B's jars was KIA due to trich. The rest of the jars in group B have started showing good signs of growth, Group A is going strong. Id say 3-4 weeks til fruit.

Today.. found the 3rd and 4th jar with a sign of contamination... So pissed... only 5 of my 12 jars are growing well. One is JUST showing signs of growth...
Question..
I will in no way have 5 quarts of spawn for my monotub, and at this rate i am expecting atleast 1 more contamination (which im guessing is due to poor inoculation and not a deep enough dry verm layer).
Can i still spawn to a reasonably large substrate with less spawn, but just have to wait longer for fruit?
Also, Now that I have 4 jars with nothing in them, and alot of extra verm and BRF laying around, could I cut a peice of healthy myc out of one of my jars and inoculate these failjars with that??
Thanks guys, I am dissapoint..

Sucks to hear about the contams man.
Correct me if im wrong anyone, but i'm pretty sure spawning less to more substrate will increase the risk for contaminations.
I think it would still fruit just take longer, but I wouldnt risk it. not needed.

Get something like this...
http://www.kmart.com/shc/s/p_10151_10104_00902786000P?prdNo=8&blockNo=8&blockType=G8
and then make a partial batch of substrate, mix it up in the shoebox, and then put that in your mono.

So trip your saying that I should basically make a smaller mono, let that colonize, then do it in my large tub and continue the process?

Honestly mycology takes a lot of patience and experimentation. If this is your first go around start slow brother, you got nice rhizomorphic growth in those jars. You should be very happy with your results so far IMO go ahead and just birth the cakes for your first run. Fill the bottom of a tub with moist perlite 4-5 inches, dunk and roll the cakes and then place them onto lids in the bin, mist and introduce FAE.
Make sure you wait a good 5-7 days after they look fully colonized. Usually they will start to pull away from the sides of the jars and you know the jar is consolidated.
Best of luck!!! Keep us updated!

I mixed up the spawn and substrate in one of those and put the shoebox into the mono (I have 2 in one mono and 1 in the other). I didn't want to make a small mono because I don't intend to do small batches like this... this is (hopefully) a one-time thing until I can get lots of grain going.

check your jars once a week and you will be pleased. Usually takes a full month for full colonization of brf without a incubator. This of course includes the extra week after full colonization to allow the mycelium to grab hold of the material used. Patience is definitely key, that's why it's important to keep things going in shifts so you won't have to wait for a whole month for the next batch to be ready. Btw, fantastic results with a simple 15 qt monotub with crumbled brf cakes. Used 1/2 inch of 50/50 verm/peat moss for the casing material. Got a little over two zips first flush. set it and forget it baby!

I know what you're thinking, bruising? When I noticed the discolorations they were much to small to be bruising and I cant see how they can be bruised in the jar, especially with my now 45% faliure rate...
Unfortunately I did not take any pictures of my jars but I googled for a few minutes and found this

This is the closest example of what I found, although in much smaller areas, and with a slightly bluer/tourquoise (sp?) shade..
Ahhhh well, I saved one of the jars with the smallest amount of contam to moniter what happens to it for a few days, it is heavily colonized so Im hoping it may somehow overcome its new found friend. I would have posted a picture of that but the discoloration is too small to be captured on camera and viewed.

that looks like mold to me, but I can't enlarge the picture enough to be positive.

I agree! Look a bit like mold but picture is to small. Isolate it from other jars and watch growth over next day or so closely. If it is mold, it should begin to take over!

It was mold. I let it grow for a few days.. fucked up green stuff man.
Anyway, I bought a shoebox size tub, drilled a bunch of holes in the top and am going to crumble in around 2 fully colonized pints into some VERM/Coir, Case it, Let it colonize, and then use THAT to knock up my 90 qt tub. Another week or two of work, but probobly worth it to make up for lost jars.
What do you guys think?

You gotta make some spawn to...spawn...the 90qt tub! You can't generally spawn colonized bulk to more bulk, if you get my drift. You have to colonize a bunch of spawn- cakes, grains, etc., and mix that with bulk substrate in your 90qt.
Funny that the guy in your sig looks like he's about to shoot Amy Goodman ;P

Oh i know that, but I dont have enough spawn to go into my 90 qt.. Id need around 5 qts of spawn, but i will only have like 2 qts.. So i wanted to basically take my 2 pints that are almost done colonizing, and spawn them into basically a mini tub, wait til that is all colonized, then use that as the spawn in the 90qt.

You want to do grain to grain transfer with your pints, and then spawn the resulting grain spawn to bulk substrate.

you should melt some more holes toward the top. honestly tho you should really try to get a lid man. Im not trying to kill your buzz but im betting you get a contaim if you spawn that mono with brf cakes.

I dont think hes getting the picture on this one. That mini tub your speaking of u say is going to be made of coir... You cant go taking the coir out of that tub and putting it into more coir in a big tub after it colonizes...

Im re reading everything from last night, I was super stoned and obviously none of what you guys were saying was getting in.
So why couldnt I takea fully colonized verm/coir/ BRF Spawn mixture and then use that in my larger tub?? I dont see how that wouldnt work..

You've just invented "super spawning". It was described as being fifty years out of date, thirty years ago.

Ok so a G2G xfer would be my best bet to multiply my amount of spawn for my massive tubs. Noted. Now what would be the best way to go about this without a pressure cooker? Can I use WBS quarts with my stock pot?
I will have a fully colonized Pint jar in about 24 hours, and another one in another day or so, if I dont get any more contaminations.
Any and all advice is appreciated.

Haha, damn i feel sorry for you.
I didnt even bother to boil my jars, i just mixed the substrate and injected the syringe. 2/3 where not contaminated. All your preperations, all you have read etc. you deserve to get something.

I wore a full painters suit in a tiny bathroom sanitized WITH A GLOVE BOX too.
I attribute my high contamination rate to my house being over 100 years old and probobly a natural spore fiesta...
Regardless, it was grow #1.. As long as I get to see one fruit, I will be happy.

90% finished colonized one pint jar pinned in the jar. Suggestions? 1 cm in length tiny fruit. Tried to take a picture but its just too small.

thats why BRF doesnt go in PINT jars.
i bet it never fully colonizes.
you can birth it and rinse off the uncolonized part under cool running water/
but my guess is: you'll end up GOUGING more BRF out than RINSING it off.
goodluck with whatever you decide to do.

Ok so my recently birthed cake has been sitting on my FC (which is a monotub converted to a shotgun FC with perlite, and has been busy growing alot of new mycelium on its casing layer

Temp is just a bit low because it is early morning, it stays in between 64-73 degrees all day with a 5000k light, room light, and 2 other lights 12 hours on/12 off.
How the entire setup has changed to accommadate for the jar.

So now heres the newest problem, My surviving jars from both inoculation Groups A and B are now themselves beginning to pin invitro

Any suggestions people?? I wont attempt the BRF tek with full pints again, I can see where the problems come from..
This is about how colonized the average Group C (Survivor) jar is

Atleast another 5 days to full colonization, maybe more. Was hoping to save these 5 other jars to use on a monotub but.. who knows. Neeed opinions/suggestions.
Thanks. -M

Yeah I was trying to save the other 5 and use them to spawn to a bulk substrate..

Cut them in half, get rid of the uncolonized part. grow them out get fruits, Clone one of the fruits, very easy. then use that to do bulk, IMO then you can just add the clone mycelium into rye jars.

Update: No fruiting on the cake thats in the FC.. No pins, just alot of fluffy white mycelium growth, I dont know if my RH is high enough, and I dont know how else I could raise it, I used 2 bags of perlite on this thing and mist/fan 5-6 times a day.
Of my other 5 jars, they are all growing quickly, and all but 1 are pinning invitro. One even has an inch long fruit growing horizonally in the jar, but none of them are 100% colonized, although some are very close.
I want to use these last 5 with a half brick of coir to make a monotub, but im not sure if that is the right course to go..
Need suggestions, I have only a few days before I have to go out of town for 4 days or so, and leaving the jars to continue to colonize might not be the best idea..
Seeking wise guidance, please people, help me out.. again..
Thanks,
-M

Yes it is, I guess i have been.. Misting... then fanning.. Damnit. Either way I KNOW the cake is still growing I can see the mycelium contoinueing to grow and even colonize the verm casing..
But what to do about the other jars? Namely this eyesore with an inch long fruit..

First post. Woo!
I think that the white stuff I see in the first picture, just above your thermometer, looks like a cotton ball or cob web mold...
I think it might be part of your fruiting chamber, but I'm unsure..

I'm still not sure of the question.
Are you asking whether you can spawn cakes that are pining? Yes. Do you need to do something with the jars? No, not immediately. Is spawning cakes a good idea? No, not really. Is the uncolonized part contaminated with bacteria? Seems likely. Can you remove it at birth? Probably.

Ok, So should I let the jars fully consolidate and then use them to spawn to a bulk substrate (as was my initial plan). I dont want to use them as cakes I was aiming for bulk..
What should I do about the fruits that are in the jars? I mean, one is actually getting pretty large and will run out of space in a matter of days.

Make your bulk sub a little drier than usual. Not "dry", just a little less wet.

Can I do this now?? Without waiting for complete 100% colonization? I mean, Most of the jars are sooo close and have pins now.

Doc? Anyone? Is it a bad idea to use the 5 jars to spawn to bulk when they are 90% colonized? I dont want to leave them in the jars too long with all the pinning going on.

Well Gentlemen,
It has been a long couple months getting started. I went from a 50% contamination rate to almost 60% by the time it was done. I had to break down my set up and re-do to hide from guests. I have dealt with shitty air, work vacations, and depending on roommates to help me.
After all of the problems and shit that got in the way, money spent and all that jazz, my monotub has finally taken off. Over the course of the last 4-5 days I have noticed little growth, but just recently yesterday.. Well.. Ill let the pictures speak for themselves. This is nowhere near all of them, and the first flush isnt done either, but these ones were ripe for the picking and are drying now.
I have popped my cherry. Ill let you know how they taste. Thank you so much shroomery.

and to show the size of the far right.

It is just over 7.5 inches long, and the cap was 2 inches across.
