Cant seem to get things right
    #17298446 - 11/28/12 04:50 PM (12 years, 1 month ago)

Well I have a pet cat who has been growing mushrooms off and on now, trying different things and whatnot, and cant seem to get any significant yields.

Recently he has just done the pf tek with a simple terrarium that consists of the cakes sitting on about an inch and a half of pearlite, soaked with water, fanned 2-3 times a day. The cakes waited a week after full colonization to birth, and the dunk and roll method was used.

He also had an experimental casing that just used 100%, sterilized vermiculite. This had a yield of about 3.5 grams for one cake due to the majority of the shrooms being aborts.

He started a new experimental casing today that is made up of 50%verm/50%hpoo.

He doesn't know what exactly he's doing wrong. Could be his heat source. He uses a Zoo Med Heat Rock and the chambers stay about 74 degrees. He sprays with tap water 2-3 times a day, and everything still looks really dry. Because when you spray too much you get advanced mycelium growth and he doesn't seem to get that.

So he just wandering if you guys have any input on this matter, it would be greatly appreciated. What is a good way of heating and what is a good way to keep up the moisture.

Also he has about nine cakes still in jars and is open for good methods on fruiting the other ones to try to get some better yeilds.

Needs more perlite. Is it a SGFC?

Well build one, and get 4 inches of perlite at least.

He watched that before he started everything but I guess he needs to watch part four again. The problem with the SGFC is the amount of space it takes up. He is doing his entire operation in his dresser drawer.

The SGFC doesn't have to be the size he made it. You can use the tupperware container you already have. 68-80 degrees is fine.

The average lifespan for a cat is 12-14 years, and the minimum age here is 18, so your cat having you ask questions is not at all cool.

Cats are filthy creatures, so most likely, his problem is that he's constantly introducing contaminants into his grow op.

If the tupperware container is too small, this might not be supplying enough free space for the mushrooms to grow. Or some holes punched in the container would create more FAE (air flow) for proper distribution of O2/CO2.

QFT, a drawer isn't the best place for them.

The cat needs to be sterilized at 15psi for 120 minutes and allowed to cool overnight.

This will guarantee better yields, and healthier mushrooms.

Why are you letting a cat grow shrooms? Doing it yourself is way easier. Cats can't even speak english :confused:
