My first PF tek grow
    #15702201 - 01/22/12 02:27 PM (12 years, 11 months ago)

right now i have only 5 1/2 pints of EQ's colonizing in my incubator at 82 degrees. i think the first 5 will have a high chance of contam since my inoculation procedure wasnt as sterile as i had planned and the next day after putting in the incubator the cakes were at 90-92 degrees but the ambient air temp read 86. would those temps kill the spores since they had just been inocc'd?  i ill be making another 5 1/2 pints in the next day or so. im definately going to grow the first 5, and use this http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/15592662#15592662 to make make bigger cakes (if they dont get contamed first :thumbdown:) so i should atleast get something out of it and then take spores to make more cakes. And then i want to take the other 5 and make a tray. Im gunna take ideas from the monos and sgfcs ive seen to make my FC. The cakes will be in a small tub with perlite and some holes every couple inches with a 12/12 cylcle of dark blue grow light( direct or indirect? will the shrooms grow towards the light?)and then fan and mist 3-4 times a day. as for the tray ill crumble the cakes with coir/verm/coffee into a 4 qt tub and let it colonize then put a 6 qt tub with holes with pollyfillon top with the same dimensions so the fruits can grow up big and tall, something like mini-mini-mono and put it in the same tub as the cakes so they can both take advantage of the RH, temps, and light at the same time and  Ill take pics of all my idea and post some of my jars as they colonize so you guys can see how its going.

I don't think 90* will kill spores, but it may have reduced the viability.  You need to drop your temps down to 70-75*.  80*+ will cause contams to grow and not really help your myc.

There's nothing wrong with temps hitting 80-82 f. 85+ is the temps that you want to stay out of. I don't believe that in the low 90's you'll be harming the spores, but you're definitely at risk for higher contamination.

i want get another 20-30 cakes started off a spore print, is it worth it to buy a PC and start grains b/c it seems like the colonization times and the G2G tek make it worth the investment. how much is a decent PC do you think?

Ya, go with grains. I did about 30 cakes one time and it was such a hassle to deal with the different growing patterns of each one, especially if your doing MS inoculation. Grains drop the amount of time and effort drastically IMO. I've bought pressure cookers at Walmart for around 43 bucks that fits 2-3 one quart jars depending on how you angle em, but I got tired of it, because I work with large amounts of jars and dont have the time to wait around with my thumb up my ass, so I bought a 16Q pressure cooker for around 70 bucks at Bed Bath and Beyond (fits 7). They also sell smaller pressure cookers btw. Create an online account and they give you a printable coupon for 20% discount on any item in the store.

I use a combination of http://www.shroomery.org/9030/Docs-Wild-Bird-Seed-Tek and the information I've gathered here at the shroomery. Only difference is instead of simmering; I bring water to a boil, add grain, take pot of the burner, let soak for 30 minutes- an hour. Then, instead of drying and tossing in a strainer for an hour, I strain water for less than a minute, then get clean towels and dump WBS onto one, lay other on top and press until dry. You might want to try drying the old fashioned way if your not sure on how dry the WBS should be, as it seems to be rule of thumb dependent on the cultivator. WBS is very easy to get, I get mine at Walmart. I hear that rye is more nutritious with very slight longer cultivation periods, it's just a little harder to get a hold of.

Today I knocked up a BB LC and put it in my incubator at about 78 degrees and I took a couple pics of my jars. I think its day 6-7 since I innoc'd the jars and they look good to me. One jar doesnt have any growth at two of four innoc holes but on there is growth on the opposite two. its early so ive been writing down almost  every thing that happens during the procees so i can learn about it all. Ill snap a couple pics of my LC and jars in a few days.

Jars innoc'd 1/21 (i think)
