First Grow : Z Strain - PF Cakes
    #14379321 - 04/30/11 08:10 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

Hey everyone, long time reader first time poster really.

I want to thank everyone for their postings.  I read a lot before I gave this a go and things have gone fairly well.

March 25th I inoculated 5 BR pint jars with Z strain.  A week later I started another 5 jars.  Colonization was really slow because I didn't leave the BR/Verm mixture fluffy.  That was my first mistake.  My incubation was done with a heating blanket which worked fairly well once I figured out the temperature setting that worked best. That was my second mistake. Finally, I put all my cakes into a fruiting chamber about a week ago.  Today I am harvesting a nice amount of mushrooms from one cake.  It is exciting.

My third mistake was not having a fan moving air in the room the fruiting chamber is in.  I have had great pinsets and primordia forming but my fruit aren't that big and I have had one cake full of aborts. 

For all the reading I did and the following of directions I was sure I would be doing a lot better, but this trade is a lot more difficult then I ever imagined. 

I am not discouraged though.  I recently started my first monotub which is 3 quart jars of WBS spawned to coco coir.  And today I did my first Grain to Grain transfer.  I used a PF cake that didn't go into the fruiting chamber to start another 6 jars of WBS.

I just want to say I really appreciate being able to read everyone's posts.  I have found all the answers to my questions so far by the good old search button.

I plan to get a camera for the fiance as a gift here soon and can't wait to share some photos of my adventure.

Many Thanks -Ice
