Psyeye says Hi and welcome to my Nannas first grow

Hi Shroomers, Psyeye here in Sydney AU... What a glorious haven of wise souls and knowledge I have stumbled into, thanks all you shroomers out there that have contributed to this amazing place which has given me all I needed to reassure me that it is possible to create a garden of sacred gold. My Nanna, with my advice and the help of you all at the shroomery can finally grow her own mushrooms.
Nanna started shrooming when she was a teenager, she spent many years wandering with the sacred fungus and left for a long while to join the rat race and raise littleuns. She's ready to explore our universe further with them again now and has asked me to post pics and data here of her first grow.
Nanna is going with pftek, WBS, Shotgun, monotub, casing, straw and outdoor teks for her first attempts, each with a little experimentation as well. She's got a bit of nouse doesn't muck around my Nanna. She's asked me to post pics, data and results as well as any issues she may stumble into in case you guys wanna lend her your learnednesses.
Nanna also loves to cook so we'll post some hearty old school mushroom recipes to soothe the stomach.
Here's a pic of me and my Nanna
 ( legal disclaimer: Not really me or Nanna:P )
We're here for the long haul Nanna and me so we look forward to learning the ropes here and contributing to this vibrant little community.

Wow, with that many tek's you're bound to have success And even outdoor, intriguing.
I'm just a new mycologist, working on a first grow for my own Nanna as well. Good luck!

Ganjabonga. Thanks dude
Tightsqueeze. Cheers mate, yeah Nanna is a bit of a scientist so she is experimenting and collecting data on different teks
guywiththegun. she's proud too bro, took years to get it looking just the way she wants it
shroomzi8. 
BTW Nanna got her spores from Sporeworks She's got some Texan, B+ and Ecuador in jars now which she successfully inoculated from prints. After this first run she plans to also grow some PES Hawaiian and, if the gods smile upon her, semilanceata...

Yeah, I can't even see the BRF in that jar, but it must be there since there's growth.

Perun, yeah man, Nanna found out it came in differents grades afterwards... I agree her WBS is too wet, she was interrupted straining it and it was cool aready when she got back. She shook each of the WBS Jars after innoculating then left them to settle in. Most of them are taking hold. Should she shake them again?
Guywiththegun. yeah bro, it's in there
Thanks for lookin out for me friends

You have an even distribution on Mycelium in those jars so shaking would not be recommended.

I would not agree with that! Shaking(at 25-50%) is the best way to speed up colonization and to find out is there some hiden contam,cuz when u shake, mycelium should recover in next 48hrs if not...there is contam! I even sometimes shake when is 100% and then leave them to recover before spawning just to be 100% sure! So yeah...i think you should/could shake!

Perun. thanks for the tip bro, Nanna shook 4 of 12 to confirm or deny the practicality of doing so, will report results in a couple of days.

RR said 4 days for myc to recover 100% after shake. I only shake mine if they are lagging behind the others and the others look like they will be 100% in 4-5 days. I usually just make one GLC and noc a bunch of jars. When I noc them I do a circle around the glass and then dribble some in a few spots in the middle till I think it hit the bottom. I then give them their one and only shake because when they start growing they are growing everywhere, inside and out and there is no reason to shake.
And really, what are the chances that you are going to have a hidden contam inside of a clean GLC noced jar if you are clean, your air is clean(Oust 10 minutes before), your work area/tools are ready/clean, you follow all sterile procedures with the inoc process, and your grain has been properly sterilized and has maybe been over cooked for 30 ticks. I like my rye a little shriveled so I can shoot 10-20 cc into each jar and shakem like a Magic 8 Ball and they just plump right back up. Is it bad that I PC my rye for 2 hours at 15 psi, am I robbing the myc of anything?
Now for the MS noc of the GLC rye jar, that is a different story. With a MS inoc you could have a stray contam gamete and it could mate with another contam gamete of the opposite sex and turn into a myc eating mold half way through the colonization. Or there could even be mold spores in a MS syringe, unless you made it in a "clean room" from an isolate and you made isolates of every visible change in myc, found the best one and cloned the fastest most potent fruit and make a mother jar. Am I right?

3n1gm4. Thanks again mate, you've been most informative, Nanna shook her jars once after noccing them with abt 5ccs of spore solution then left them until now shaking 4 of them. I plan to move them to casing in 3 days so RRs timeframe suits me just fine She's def looking forward to trying some LC with your method soon tripper

ooooHHH, you should never shake a jar shot up with spores, you only shake GLC or LC jars after noc to distribute the already growing myc. When you shake a spore inoced jar it just spreads the boys and girls apart and makes it harder for them to find each other to make mycellium. If you have any spore syringe left I would drip a few drops on each spot you shot up earlier to make it more likely they will colonize.
Sorry didn't mean to mislead you I just assumed that you read that I was using a GLC when I shook my jars right after noc. If you use a GLC it has already mated and is growing myc in a liquid solution, so when you shoot a jar with it you shake to distribute the myc so it will grow throughout the whole jar with no more shaking. Spores have to find a friend and if you shake you just make it harder or impossible for them to find each other. Don't worry though, it will probably still work especially if you have a few ccs of spores left and drip it on the glass all the way around and in the middle. Not too much though, easy on the thumb.
