my first cube grow....MS Syringe (PES Amazonian) > Rye>damion 50/50 Harvest Pics Updated 5/20
    #14265805 - 04/10/11 07:26 AM (12 years, 10 months ago)

good morning shroomery,
thanks to the shroomery for being a very helpful reasource. roger rabbit, magdash, damion 5050, toddlo and a bunch of you other stoner motherfuckers put up the teks i used to get this thing started. thanks to all posters here for contributing to the reasource!

got some PES amazonian going on rye quart jars now. followed RRs rye prep tek and inoculated in a SAB i built similar t Toddlow's SAB tek.

i got a journal going on but will be using this thread to update pics and ask questons i have regarding my progress.

so far :

04/01/11 - prepped and sterilized Rye jars innocultated with PES Amazonian syringe

04/06/11- first visible myc spotted

04/09/11- pics taken



looks to me like im off to a good start! mycellium growht has really speed up the last few days.

thanks again shroomery! i'll keep this thread updated as it progresses

The growth looks very hardy but your rye jar contains some overly wet grains.

If you look at it you can see the darker discolored rye grains, these almost always fall victim to Basilius (wet spot) bacteria. The mycelium may or may not colonize them and usually when it does upon breaking up the jars you will get mushy clumps of mycelium, these are no good. Discard them and only use the healthy stuff regardless if the mushy grains are colonized or not :wink:

yeah man i thought that some of the grains n the tops of some looked a bit too wet...once teh colonization started up a tad bit of condensation sprang up on some of the jars and this made the top /sides of a few f the jars a bit too wet

i think i used a colander that was a tad small to "steam dry" the rye after cooking and/or did not let it cool and "steam dry" quite enough before lidding and PCing.


in the future what can i do to ensure these  overly wet grains don't get through?

do you think by tossing the "mushier" mycellium my spawn will be good in my bulk sub?

thanks.

I would mark off the area and then upon full colonization poke it with a fork and if its mushy just scoop it out and place it off to the side, a little bit wont do much but if you get enough the mycelium will not recover upon spawning it to bulk and the bacteria will invite trich in.

thnaks bro. i tooka  marker and circled the suspected too mushy spots and will keep and eye on them for the rest of the colonization process.

the jars are about due for a shake though and that will fuck it all up, howoever i am thinking that the redistribution of the wetter top grains into the rest of the appropriately hydrated rye might help prevent the basillus from ever forming? is this logical to those who have deal with the wet spot mold?

so far i got nothing but helathy beast looking myc that gets more and more white and dense everyday...the little string/ rhizomorphic looking myc are spreading like wildfire in LA during the santa ann winds right now...

also the myc just seems to get more and more beast....its growing faster and faster and dont slow down or even pause around some of the more wet clumps of rye...just keeps n trucking and colonizes the things. is this good? bad? neither?

remainder of colonzation went very well. fast and aggressive but i last grew some lions mane which took fucking forever to colonize the sawdust bag i had it in.

after the shakes the somewhat overly wet grains got colonized fast and everything else finished up very very fast. just spawned the rye to 3 medium/small hybrid tubs using a gypsum supplimented damion 50/50 coir tek. grains were very solidly colonized and not nearly as wet and mushy as they looked.

will post pics tom. am of the jars at close to 100%, but they looked like most other almost fully colonized rye quarts do. didnt get any pics when mixing the spawn into the substrate as i was trying to be as clean as possible and didnt think to trying to take pics would help any.

hope to be ready to induce pins/fruit by the end of april. these mofo's went at the rye pretty fast so im hoping the sub will be 100% in about ten days.

let me just say you are the fucking man daminoi50/50! i cant rate people yet but when i can mad shrooms + for the coir tek. stupid simple prep for what looked and felt like a good substrate...i might try to run some oysters on a few big ass blocks of it. i have these goldens that grow uout of my damn compost pile, on old wet phone books, anywhere i toss the colonized straw.

i bagged up the tubs and plan to not peek for 5 days or so, is this foolish? i know that i want to be carefull about to much airflow i am causing, but should i be checking to ensure the substrate is still plenty moist? is best to wait longer before looking in on the tubs?

right now their covered in black trash bags with the openings tucked underneath the tubs just as Doc_T suggested me to earlier, and i have seen other mention in several other threads here.

Well when you say bag them up, let me say don't actually close the bag..  Kinda like fold it over under the tub or something like that..  I have noticed if you do actually close the bag all the way and tie it shut, then there is a small chance that the tub can stall on you.. 

So I just place the tub in the bag and then fold the open part under the edge of the tub, it provides enough air for GE, but not so much that you are getting FAE..

Also thank you for the love, but pass that love on to the others that do coir too..  Like I say, I didn't invent the coir tek, I just modified it a bit for how I felt like doing it.  I use to grow using large doses coir tek then changed it around a bit got rid of a few things and messed with the ratio's and I found an even medium for me that worked and worked well.

I do what I can to spread the knowledge as well as :love: and :peace:

Yeah I will have a post coming up this weekend I am doing one last grow before I move, it will be at least 4 tubs and at most 7..  We will see haven't figured out how far I want to stretch my spawn yet.

first three pics are 48 hrs after shake, last few pics are jars on day of spawning to bulk sub (yesterday) pics of coco, verm and gypsum in there. didnt photogrpah during sub and spawn mixing as i was focused on good clean practices not pretty pcitures.

the odd dark colored redish spots on the jars were actually on the outside of the jar. you cant see it in the pictures well becuase i had decent lighting but the jar's exteriors also had a opaque grey film on em from the PC...my grandma told me a couple tablespoons o white vinegar in the PC will keep from getting this. any opions on this?

Just got pes amazonians as a gift from the works with my costa ricans, bout 20% colonization as we speak (saving the ricans for later). Cant wait to see how yours come out! Being my first grow, and using brf, im betting yours will go much better than mine =D

these have been in the tubs not quite three days they're really ripping through the coir. almost 25% so far. when i was untying the bags as damion 50/50 suggested i realized that since they were in a lightproof chamber i could use a clear trash bag to continue colonization of the sub and be able to monitor progress.  since yesterday the rate of colonization has speed up considerably.

my hepa flow unit wont be finished until the end of next month so until then i'll just keep printing and making syringes off the amazonians. i already got the filter itself so im just waiting till i got the $$ to finish the box and get my fan setup. stonesuns flow hood tek = awesome

im liking the speed on these PES amazonians, so im going to try and clone them to agar. im not sure if i'll end up with fast culture as these are from a MS syringe but it gives me an excuse to get myself in to agar work :sun:

i am soaking rye right now for some puerto ricans and costa ricans i will inoculate tuesday.
