First Grow - How does it look? PF Tek / B+ (pic)
    #14225536 - 04/02/11 11:20 AM (12 years, 9 months ago)

This is my first attempt at growing B+ on a BRF cake using PF Tek.

This was in an SGFC for just about two weeks before pinning started, and these little guys have just shot up over the past two days.

I was worried about contams since they sat for so long after birthing (they were dunked for ~18hrs and rolled in dry verm).

Is there anything particular I should be concerned about at this point?

Possibly just the angle? I did use a 15/64th drill bit, which was the next size down from the recommended 1/4 inch that I have in my kit. The 1/4" seemed too large, and I'm in a very dry, cold area and need to keep humidity in.

Well, less than 24 hours later I think these guys are ready! The veil has broken on the larger ones already, but I'm not seeing any dropped spores. I'll probably give this the rest of the day in sunlight before harvesting and dunking.

I'm aware my lighting situation needs some improvement, but so far I am pleased with the outcome.

And clone some stem tissue with a sterile exacto knife to a sterilized rye jar in a glovebox for an isolate :naughty:

yeah looks pretty standard...nice first cake.

don't listen to that guy those holes look fine. yes that is perlite at the bottom, what kind of question is that lol


but yeah, i would print that big guy and start again! look into spawning brf cakes to a bulk substrate to make a casing...or even better grains to bulk..

but good work!

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I'm going to use the large one for a print, but I'm wondering how long it is viable to do so after the veil breaks?

Also, my understanding is that it's best to harvest them all at the same time. Now I've seen a lot of conflicting info during my research, and while this seems to be a reasonable assumption, I'm worried about leaving the big guy alone until the rest mature, fearing that it'll drop spores while still in the FC.

it will drop the spores and thats fine. it will not drop all of them you can still print it after they drop the spores. Yea harvest them all at once and allow them all to mature. You wont regret ti and it wont affect your print.

When you pickem, slice the cap off the big one and set it on a sterile piece of tin foil overnight with a shotglass covering the cap. the next morning you will have a nice dark B+ print.

I'm assuming that after I collect the print, I can just place it with the rest to dry and consume?

Yeah, my concern was letting it sit in a (probably humid) environment for 24hrs and possibly begin decomposing.

The more you know!
