Help me with my shit Pinset Please! Damien Tek with pics
    #15915552 - 03/07/12 06:41 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

Ok so I kinda did a twist in Transcending Life's one flush wonder tek.  I used 8 quarts spawn (milo) +2 bricks Coir + 4 quarts coarse vermiculite +0.6 Quarts Gypsum Everything has been going perfect......until THESE SHIT PINSETS! Not just one shit pinset, 4 different tubs all with shitty pinsets. I let them have direct sunlight for about 30 minutes and that didn't seem to help much (its been 2 days now). Im lost, i know the humidity is 100%, i have a lot of air exchange, and 23watt 6500k CFLs(100watt eq.). Please help guys, any ideas or takes are much appreciated. Oh the tubs weigh 37.8lb each, so I would think they've got to produce a gooooood amount of mushies, right! I think i put to much gypsum in, thats the only thing i can think of.

I would suggesting taking some clones from immature pins to expand to
new grain spawn and eventually new tubs.

Looks like a typical MS grow, sometimes you get a few random fruits, sometimes
you get a wall to wall pinset, it all depends.

Good Luck!

Yes, MS can be quite variable...  Have you tried increasing evaporation from the substrate surface( misting and fanning)?  Also, is the temp where you're fruiting different from where you had them when colonizing the substrate?  The slight drop in temp could encourage fruiting.

It looks like maybe your moving them around a lot and its breaking up the substrate. I had a tub do this when I moved it from colonizing to fruiting conditions.

It produced a pretty poor first flush but then the second was pretty awesome.

With MS I get one really outstanding tub for every 3 that I make. However even the other two do very well.

Why are the substrates cracked down the middle? Im not too familiar with bulk grows but they might be dehydrated.

Im no expert

Sure seems to me the amount of growing mushrooms is inversely relative to amount of big substrate cracks from moving tubs.

I have found if you let your tubs consolidate at least 5 days my pinsets go from looking like yours to wall to wall

Good point!
How long did you let your Tubs consolidate after 100% consolidation?

I've only had one similar experience, a tray that did this when I moved t in colonization never fruited and contaminated. But these pictures of FOUR increasingly damaged and decreasingly mushi populated tubs tell the story much better...

Had a tub of coir do the same w Africans. Seems coir is like that. Over the coarse of a mo.th it did really well. Like 5-6 flushes and about an oz of each after the first flush. Defy held me over for the winter.

Had a tub w h pool that gave about one and a half dry each flush for three flushes. The first two were the bulk the third flush was like 3\4 of an oz dry. Both tubs African t from ralphsters, third gen spores print from og syringe.

Peace.

It was my first set of trays, the only ones where I used aluminum. Got two reasons not to use them in one grow alone, they ate holes in the other tray, and this.


OP, you might have tubs with saggy/slacky bottoms that have give to them. When you pick it up, it gives in the middle, and when you set down it pops up. Many tubs are this way. It can be a real problem though.
