King Oyster laundry basket. * 2
    #14945889 - 08/19/11 04:56 AM (12 years, 6 months ago)

Hi all not been on here for a while, so I'd thought I'd share my latest grow with ya.:wink:

Had a great result with this laundry basket grow. My 3rd basket to date.

Slightly experimental for me, i know that kings dont produce too well on plain straw
so I used a brick of coir with my straw, (dry weight 1kg) plus a massive spawn ratio, which was one spawn bag of rye bout 5 quarts. My thinking was this would blast the sub with plenty of nutrients from the spawn/coir.

I think the wet colonized spawn weighed 1kg so that set my ratio at 1:1.

The coir straw mix was steam pasteurized in my home made steamer unit.



I used some of the coir on top as a pseudo casing layer to retain moisture, seemed to work as I got some nice fruits on the top!

Basket was fruited out doors but taken into my sorta outdoor greenhouse at night with humidibucket to keep moisture but mainly to keep the freaking slugs off her.

Got rained on a couple of times, which seemed to help a lot.

Final weight 1st flush 1.5kg!

Does that out my BE at 75%? not sure if I'm working this out correctly.

1kg = dry sub (straw and coir)
1kg = wet spawn

so 2kg total weight.

Enjoy the pics all:aum:







Also my 1st reishi attempt, this looking like normal growth? Strange fruits!

Your BE is going to be higher than 75% basically because you used a kilo of wet grain, the dry weight of that would have been less, between 500g and 750g is my guess, so you put in 1.5kg dry in, 1.5kg shrooms out on just the first flush. Nice!

Ar good point, so i measure the weight of the dry grain and add that to the total dry sub to get my BE. I thought it was colonized grain.:thumbup:

Very impressive grow... and I love your steamer.  Around 100% BE is amazing for kings.  I see you're in the UK- lots of humidity outdoors I assume, but I'd also like to know your high and low temperatures while you grew that.  Thanks.  Oh, and P.S.- your reishi looks great, but don't let it dry out, it won't produce nearly as well.  I leave mine in the bag and just open the bag up now.

The strain was from "micro science" here in the UK, and has always produced well for me.

I have no control over temps, and the weather is changeable here in the UK, but around 50's night 60 _ 70 through the day.

The humidity is quite high prob around 70%.

Be interested to see how the 2nd flush turns out if at all!

cheers for the reishi tips, yeah makes sense keeping em i the bags, they do dry out easy.
