Little balls of fluff on 90% colonized cake (minus consolidation period)
    #16542514 - 07/16/12 11:07 PM (11 years, 8 months ago)

Weren't on this cake yesterday, its at the bottom section fully connected around the sides, 90% done and I noticed these fluff balls, is this early pins or is this cake screwed? Makes me mad because this cake is 90% and the closest other ones are 80% so... :frown:

Checked with midwestgrowkits Live Chat but didn't link them a pic, just a description and they claim that its just mycelium growing over the verm barrier and its perfectly fine, but I am still skeptical.

Can someone please tell me what the heck those white clumps are?

Thanks that great news, but why does the one resemble a mushroom slice you would find when you order mushroom pizza from a pizza shop, or is that the stem forming and then pins will come?

And if you could kindly give me advice about the next step. The jar should be done in two days, if I see a brown cap I will know its a pin, but if its still that white stuff, is that bad?


Also, the big favor would be guiding me along with the next step, if I get a step wrong could you correct me and add some of your own personal methods and tips to allow me success, I want alot of caps because I want alot of prints even to collect them as I grow new strains in the future, I also want to donate some to help fellow shroomers who don't want to buy a print and/or a spore syringe, free service!

1. Do I wait the whole week for consolidation in the jar to hold the cake, or do I reduce the time if pins start to get to big and/or rot/abort? And... Should I pick off the pins that form and dry/eat them, or should I dunk and roll them anyway and just sacrifice those pins if they aren't even potent enough to want to pick anyway? Or are they good and they wont fall off during dunk and roll?

Sorry I ask so specifically but maybe this thread will answer alot of questions to other fellow noobs that frequent this form often so it should be at the top for a whole, and noobs in the future who see related threads, which answers ALOT of my questions :smile:...

2. I am thinking about just turning the rubbermaid from the grow kit i ordered into a shot gun fruiting chamber and buying a 20 dollar targer humidifier and a hydrometer or whatever its called at the pet shop around here thats been in business and national for years so I know they have quality ones that wont fail my beginners luck.

I do fear contamination every single time I think about my jars, because I want these shrooms to work, I feel like I am destined to try these and I know they will change my life for the better for atleast 3-6 months and i'll keep using the shrooms every few months to not abuse their power.


Anyway, enough with the rant... The lid on my rubber made is NOT transparent, but I heard thats fine just put lights around the sides so they grow at an up angle, (its a big rubber maid to)..



Drill a bunch of holes, 1/4 mes or whatever on all sides including bottom and elevate it with big erasers or something then put the humidifier in there and let it rip, perlite on bottom, 4 inches or so, rinsed in tap water and put the cakes on foil and mist with a bottle of water to rain it down on the cakes, and fan them 4 times a day and do a 12 on 12 off light cycle and mist 5 times a day not to heavily. DOES FAN MEAN SIMPLY TAKE OFF LID MOMENTAIRELY OR DOES IT MEAN WAVE YOUR HAND FOR FRESH AIR EXCHANGE????

Ill stop with this post for now.

Use the modern pf tek that is prescribed on this site and you will do fine.

As far as that rubbermaid. You will need light. So, if you don't have it,
make it happen somehow.

You are almost there.

If the mycelium is all around the bottom then you are at 100% colonization.

The top layer is a dry verm layer right? If so then give them the week
consolidation and then dunk and roll. Good luck.

Yeah I know that the whole jar has to be white, my only concern is leaving the pins inside of the jars during the consolidation 7 day period after 100%. Some people say they succeeded by taking out the cakes prior to 7 days, im thinking by the time these pins actually show, the cake would be 100% colonized, and if I leave them in the jars to consolidate for 7 days wont the shrooms make the cake hard to get out, whereas if I just took the jar out a few days early, would that really decrease my yield?


And lets say that by day 7 of consolidation everything is fine, can I eat those shrooms that are forming now, will it be enough to finally for once in my life feel the power of the fruit? thanks.

The whole jar does have to be white except the dry verm layer on top.
Do your jars have this dry verm layer? And are they, other than the dry
verm layer, colonized?

If so then your consolidation time has already started. If there are
non-colonized areas that are visible that have nutrients ie brf leave them  in the jars.

Or else take them out and cut off uncolonized area.

I guess I am saying that I am unclear as to whether or not your jars are
100% colonized.
You say they are not but I am thinking that you mean the dry verm layer is what is left to colonize.

This does not have to colonize. It is only a crude filter.

And yes you can consume in-vitro fruits. They taste and work the same.
Some say stronger.

If it is colonized and consolidated then birth the fruiting ones and dunk them. The fruits
will survive.

I was going to type another long summary but I find that pictures speak louder than words so...The first pic is of the bottom of the jar, that is all that is left to colonize, which is what I meant by saying in about two days..Other jars are following behind as you can see from the background of the first pic.



I am aware that the top doesn't have to be colonized, so yes; I use a dry verm barrier, I bought pre pressure cooked and mixed substrate jars lol with bee pollen, worm casing, brown rice flour, etc. 

Pic number 2 is the update of those little ball things, which probably are pin heads.. thanks for all of your help and here are the pictures..




Pic number 3 is of the name jar but on a different side.. sorry about the picture quality on that one, its the brown looking pin head (if thats a pin head)

It looks completely fine man, Mycelium takes so many different forms. I don't think that is a pin but it isn't that great of a picture either. Just wait and see man, patients is seriously the key for this hobby. Also i would recommend leaving them be. I've noticed when my jars are colonizing, the less i move the jars about the faster they colonize and the better they look. Good luck man and keep the thread updated with pics.

Just wanted to update with better pics, and they don't seem to be completely white anymore, they look like either the color of the verm, like a weird brown, or maybe its the start of my pins? Sorry for the repetition but I am just paranoid because its my first grow, Cubensis Burma incase I forgot to mention.

I was also thinking about testing the neglect tek with 1 or 2 jars and the other 6 I want to put into an SGFC..

You've probably ran into this problem because your using the tall half pints. If someone has already said this then sorry. Ive used the tall ones myself and never had a colonization problem but a lot of people claim it's harder for the mycelia to fully cover it. Just birth it and remove the bare substrate, fruit er

Hey thanks, its not 100% yet and I know its not consolidated so I kind of want to wait like 4 more days atleast but if its safe to take out now, great.. But I don't think it is.. Well its been roughly 18 days from inoculation to now, and like 4 are 55% done and the other 4 are almost done.. Only because some only had 2 inoc points, whereas my better ones had 4 inoc points.

Is it possible to leave them in there too long?

Is this jar even colonizing anymore?

Sometimes the substrate on the bottom of tall half-pints is too difficult to colonize so it never finishes. If it is colonizing though you can leave it to finish. The pins will look pretty squished by the time you birth it but it won't hurt anything. It's a sterile environment so even if they did die (which shouldn't happen for months until the jar completely dries out) they can't rot.

well it is indeed finishing i check 4 times a day, deff done tomorrow like i suspected, based on the growth i kept embedded in my mind, the timing seems perfect, so 7 days from tomorrow maybe 5-6 min ill take out depending on the pins performance.

Oh, and those are INDEED pins! so epic... the bottom isnt done but I still want to wait, after all, I did see peoples invitro pins be much bigger so I want a SOLID hold on the substrate by waiting, 3 more days max and im taking that cake out, unless I just wing it and do the neglect tek..

I am assuming that I should take out the dry verm, and dunk in water for 24 hours then put back in the jar and flip it upside down for light and fresh air exchange, and just forget about it, then harvest, dunk and roll again, etc? Or should I just not let this cake go to waste and just build a shut gun fruiting chamber... See, I dont have a drill right now but my friend does, but I get money on friday, I need to buy the humidifier and hydrometer to calculate humidity.. I don't want to screw these up, I really want to get the best experience of my life, and hopefully not the worst trip ever..

THINK POSITIVE!

Yeah totally, I am addicted to mushroom growing, and the reward from all of my dedication and from the help of you and Eagle, and some other people that posted. I wont be gone after my grow like alot of people here seem to do. I will answer peoples questions with the best of my knowledge and continue to make threads so people can see them anytime, even in the distant future. Contribution is what allowed my project to work out so I want to return the favor.. I hope that I can get like 5 flushes lol.

I'm addicted too. It's truly an art form.

You can do bulk grows. They're honestly easier than they look. I started out with bulk and had immediate success.

I feel like a piece of crap for doing what I did, but it was just as an experiment.


Those pins sure looked yummy, I thought, hmm...lets open the jars up, they were 99% colonized, very hard substrate mycelium contam free cake with some 2 inch pins, 3 of them (which I am so pissed off I didnt even take a pic) and I ate them!! I cleaned off the dry verm barrier, rinsed in water, then dunked it in aquafina bottle water, in a bowl, with another bowl keeping it submerged, and its been maybe 4 hours..

The shrooms didnt do anything but a weird body high.. It deff was berma, and it tasted like shrooms, and smelled like shrooms... I just picked them all up and chewed em up and swallowed them... Within 40 minutes I felt a strange vibe and a body high was presented, and thats about it for now... I am so close to my first grow and I do something so stupid.. But is everything okay? God I wish I had some pics, even though to you, its nothing new, but to me...It is very new, and cool so I am just tweaking out.. Can these 2 inch pins with tiny pin heads no where near anything, looked like a marble... Could they of really made me feel like that or was that a plisebo or whatever thats called, all in my head? thanks..

Well, two pins wet weighed probably about 0.8 grams. Just guessing. That
is what you want dry for a level one trip. Don't feel bad bro!
Its all good! Just cut off that un-colonized section and put it in the dunk!

Then put er in the FC. All is good. Take more next time.

:sunny:

And remember. It is your experiment. Don't feel bad. You have many more
days to do it again and again and again.

Don't stress. Just stop eating your children.

I know that's how you felt. That's why I told you to stop eating the children.

So will that cake be okay? My other thread http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/16567241#16567241 has pics of my shot gun fruiting chamber. I redunked that cake for another 12 hours.. I placed the cake on the jar lid instead of foil like other people.. Is that okay?

I would try to find something a bit bigger than that to set them on so you don't have little crumbs falling off the cake into the perlite.
