First Time Bulk Sub - 11/22/13 UPDATE (FROM Fruiting to Contam'ing)
    #18863047 - 09/19/13 01:19 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Hello,

On 08/31, 10 qt grain jars  were inoculated via MS. Of these 10 jars, 7 are showing growth and 1 is showing AGGRESSIVE mycelium growth. I'm talking 25% colonization vs 5% on other jars. The last 3 grain jars are not showing ANY growth.

Would it be a good idea to transfer a few grains from the aggressive mycelium jar to an agar petri and inoculating the 3 qt jars not showing any growth? All jars smell great, moisture seems to still be optimal and there are no visual signs of contams.

The goal is to ensure all these jars fully colonize within the same timeframe, as their intended use will be in a monotub with bulk sub.

Thanks in advance.

Grain to agar is a good technique, however I don't think it would help in this situation to do what you're after. Why not use the fast coloniser as a master and to G2G in a bunch of new jars? Might take an extra week or so before you're ready to spawn, so unless you're pressed for time, might work better for you. Then, just use the slower ones in smaller trays/tubs etc

:thumbup:

If you want, put a grain of the fast colonizer on agar as a way to expand and save your mycelium.

Before you get too carried away with preservation and expansion, I would make sure it fruits first.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I'll do just that - fast colonizing jar will be used for G2G and agar for mycelium preservation before spawning the grains to sub, in case contams take over, and for cloning/isolating after fruiting.

    #18867349 - 09/20/13 11:51 AM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Update: The fast colonizing jar, as well as a few others, were shaken last night (09/19) and mycobags have been ordered. The goal is to do a G2G using this "master" jar and colonizing a few bags with 4-6qt of grain per.

Since shaking the jar last night, the mycelium in the mastas jar has started to recover just 18 hours later (my first time working with grains - perhaps this is the normal rate?). As soon as the mycobags arrive in the mail, in about 7-10 days, the preparation of grains (soak + sterilize) will begin. Expecting to spawn grains to coir/verm/gyps substrate in 21-28 days. Fingers crossed.

Re: Colonized Grain to Agar Petri to Qt Jars [Re: SpitballJedi]
    #18880138 - 09/23/13 11:12 AM (10 years, 4 months ago)

I took the time to make 18 agar dishes using the following concoctions:

10 dishes:
1L
9g Agar
10ml of corn syrup
5g of sweet potato flakes
1/4 tsp of gypsum
This was PC'd where one bottle was diluted when it tipped over, only used 500ml from other bottle was used.

8 dishes:
500ml
4.5g Agar
5ml of corn syrup
1/4 tsp of gypsum
~250ml of Yam water
While cooling, some of this solution clumped pretty well, and the insoluble gypsum didn't help. Solution did not yield for a full 10 dishes. Some major clumping of gypsum + solution is visible in some dishes.

Overall, making agar petris is definitely a fun and learning experience! :grin: :ooo:

I touched the agar solution that I did not use, due to possible dilution, and it was a tad bit tougher than jello...

Quick question - after inoculating agar with MS, what conditions should the petri be exposed to going forward? Most agar teks do not mention the process after introducing spores or live specimens to the dishes.

Thank you!

Regular colonizing conditions.  Leave agar where you would leave your jars or colonizing bulks

UPDATE!!!:

On 09/30, spawn bags were G2G'd. A total of 13 quarts of colonized whole oat (dunked) grains have been spawned to pasteurized coir/verm/gyps.



2 minitubs (spawned 10/12, 10/16), 9 qt of total substrate (spawn + sub) per tub

1 monotub (10/14), 12 qt of total sub


These are pics of the minitub spawned on 10/12 (red lid)


w/o flash:


with flash:



Today, tubs were introduced to light from 5000k daylight bulb, as well as window lighting (its raining today).

This is, in fact, my very first time using grains, G2G'ing, and spawning to bulk subs. I still have roughly 10.7 quarts in 2 spawn bags, which are taking a while due to lack of air. The spawn bag was cut just above the filter patch = "no plenum of air" (per RR).

Agar work has also been completed (first time :smile:) - PE was germinated on agar petris, transferred just once (wanted to avoid cultivating a non-fruiting isolate) and agar wedge was used to inoc a single master grain jar on 10/01.

Things have really gotten interesting as of late! F%#@ yeah!

Thoughts?

First Time Grains & Bulk Sub (10/22/13 UPDATE w/ Pics) [Re: etdxx]
    #19014946 - 10/22/13 05:51 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

10/22 UPDATE:

I realize very few people are really watching this thread, but I'd like to update regardless =-P.

-1 minitub with 9 qt of sub was introduced to fruiting conditions on 10/18.
-A monotub, with 12 qt of sub, is now fruiting as of 10/22.
-1 minitub with 9 qt of sub is still colonizing, and
-On 10/21, I made my first pasteurized coir/verm/coffee sub and is now placed in a 50-65°F environment to try to impede contams from germinating on the coffee before full colonization.

*In summary: 2 tubs in fruiting, 2 colonizing. Total substrate amount of 42 quarts.*

The following are pics of the minitub fruited on 10/18. After fruiting, this colonized substrate was dunked with roughly 24oz of water, and nearly every ounce was absorbed. I mix my sub on the dry side to decrease colonization time.

Look at the little hyphal knots! This is my very FIRST tub, EVAR:







This is a pic of the monotub fruited today:




-Pic taken on 10/17: dunked vs undunked, Albino A+ colonized grains


-10/22: dunked vs undunked AA+ grain (and a little contam growing along :tongue:)


From Left to Right:
-PE, 1st transfer -->used to inoculate PE jars illustrated below (coffee + grain jar & master grain jar)
-Original MS PE inoculation, not used for any transfers
Note: MS PE - Y, T1 stands for Multispore Penis Envy - Yam (agar), Transfer #1. 
2 agar recipes were made, one with yam (Y), one with potato (P)




All of these petris have been placed in the fridge in order to halt growth. Some petris have been in fridge for a few days, others almost a full month.

These quart jars are being colonized by PE agar wedge transfers completed in early October 2013. One grain jar will serve as a master for G2G. The other is an experimental invitro jar containing 7oz of grains, 7oz of coffee + verm. The grains were layered on TOP of the coffee until full colonization, which is when the jar was shaken up, just 2 days ago...






PS Observation on dunked vs undunked grain before spawning to sub: both grains grow at the same rate for a few days, until the 4th day, when the dunked grain outperforms undunked by a wide margin...

Enjoy!

So let me get this right...After cutting your mycelium out of the agar you dunked it in water then transferred to new agar plate faster growth?

No he used pieces of colonized grain to inoculate his agar and he dunked some of the pieces beforettransferring to agar and didn't dunk others 

I think I got that right

Sorry for the confusion - a few changes have been made to the post...

alabamamushie is correct... the dunked vs undunked petri contains 2 colonized grains. As I was spawning this colonized grain to a monotub on 10/14, I dunked the grain in water + ice for 15 to 20min.

A single dunked grain was placed in the petri (left side) - an undunked grain was also placed in the petri (right side), for comparison.

Agar transfers were made solely for the 2 jars Penis Envy illustrated in the pics.

The dunked vs undunked "test" is from my already colonized Albino A+ grains.

Hope this helps and thanks for the compliments, ISuckatHalo. Keep us posted on the B+ project...!

10/29 Update. Tub 1 [Re: alabamamushie]
    #19051772 - 10/29/13 12:27 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

10/29 UPDATE:

The minitub fruited on 10/18 (tub 1),
developed hyphal knots on 10/22,
started to pin on 10/25ish
and pins grew about 1.5in by 10/26. Since then, growth has somewhat slowed down drastically.

Much after having placed the tub in fruiting conditions, I realized MSG (monotub shotguns) do NOT need a fan running in the room, per Doc_T and Frank. I was doing the exact opposite - a fan was kept running for ONE WHOLE WEEK. This would explain the side pinning, as the dunk water was absorbed and slowly evaporated from the sides keeping humidity ideal for pinning.

(DROPPED my cell on the bottom right hand corner - almost had a panic attack...)



This corner was NOT fully colonized while fruiting - the coir/verm was misted heavily when dry and it continued to colonize, slowly. Now its looking sexy with a decent pinset and fast growers...


What the heck is up with this giant sized mushie? Its about the size of 2 man thumbs, 3in long and grew faster than ANY other pin on the sub...



Currently, all 4 tubs have been placed in fruiting, including the coir/coffee/verm monotub (tub 4), which was colonizing for a full 7 days until fruited on 10/28. Wax paper has been placed on this sub, as well as the minitub fruited on 10/26 (tub 3). More pics of these tubs will be added in a day or two... once we actually have something to show, =-P.

Tub 1 doesnt have the pinset that was hoped for, but at least the darn fan was turned off and now only runs for about 5min total/day in 30sec to 1min increments.

Re: 10/29 Update. Tub 1 (MONSTER GODZILLA FRUIT!) [Re: etdxx]
    #19063174 - 10/31/13 12:37 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

10/31 UPDATE TIME!!!:

Its been a full 2 days since my last update and the mushies in tub 1 are looking superb!

Temp has been kept in the 68-72°F (20-22°C) range during the last few days. Heavy misting with ice water 2-3x per day and fanning shortly after. Mistings bring temp down to 68° (20°C).
12/12 lighting - from 5am to 7am with 5000k bulb, from 7am to 5pm tubs are placed in the brightest part of the room, by a window (using phone app to determine brightness). 5-15min of direct sunlight per day.

Couldn't help myself but to touch the caps of fruits every so often. Boy, they're much more "moist" than I imagined! These are going to be a paiin to pick, as they're mostly side clusters... Considering this is my very first tub EVAR, I don't really mind =-).

Take a look at these pics!



An absolute GIANT mushie formed and continues to push 5.5in in length and 1.75in in STEM width. Just crazy...
The base is actually bruising as this particular fruit is growing sideways.

Notice how its bullying the crap out of that side fruit...



Cloning Question:
If I were to clone this bad boy, will the WHOLE tub be full of these giants??

I, unfortunately, do not have a scale but probably will by the time this thing is cracker dry...

so you dunk ur substrate before 1st flush?  well maybe not dunk "proper" but the 24 ounces of water.  Does that help with flush and fruit size?  I have 4 mini bucket mono's going, not yet introduced to fruiting, so maybe I will try and hydrate them like u did.  They are 1 qt WBS and 1.5 qt. pasteurized coir/verm/coffee/gyp, brought up to normal field capacity.  What amount of water would u recommend?  I know u said u prep ur sub a bit on the dry sub in anticipation for a dunk, so maybe I should use less, if any...?

I liked to believe "dunking" did help with the fruit size. Especially with my MSG (mono shotgun) tub where the tub has a couple dozen 1/4" holes and the sub tends to dry up.

Considering your subs are much smaller, relatively speaking, and were not made on the dry side, I would attempt to do something like 2-4oz an see how well it is absorbed.

The only reason why I "dunked" before 1st flush was because my substrate was rather dry from the get-go. you may not need to add water before the 1st flush, however. Perhaps consider it after the first flush...

Coir/Verm + Gypsum
3.34qt of grain spawn
1:1.66 Spawn to Sub Ratio
Net Dry Weight (1st & only Flush): 4.19oz
Fruiting temp: 68-72°F
Outcome:
-Flushed beautifully,
-major side pinning due to dry surface,
-showed contam white mold towards end of flush,
-fully contamed after 1st flush 4hr cold water dunk





Tub 2:
Coir/Verm + Gypsum
5.44qt of grain spawn
1:1.22 Spawn Ratio
Net Dry Weight (1st & only Flush): 6.35oz
Fruiting temp: 65°F
Outcome:
-lots of pinning, mostly on inside of tub
-little side pinning
-showed contam white mold during pinning
-mold and sub was salted heavily, aborted 30% of pins
-tub isolated to 65°F room





Tub 3:
Coir/Verm + Gypsum
4.22qt of grain spawn
1:1.29 Spawn Ratio
Net Dry Weight (1st & only Flush): 4.02oz
Fruiting temp: 68-72°F
Outcome:
-7/10 pinning rating
-white mold/trich was salted during pinning
-70% of pins aborted
-tub isolated, grow room contained NO light
-16 total fruits
(Pic taken before initial harvest. Harvest lasted a full week in the dark)




Tub 4
Coir/Coffee/Verm + Gypsum
43%/11%/46%
5.38qt of grain spawn
1:1.22 Spawn Ratio
Net Dry Weight (1st & only Flush): 6.60oz (PRELIM WEIGHT - ABOUT 95% DRIED)
Fruiting temp: 75-85°F
Outcome:
-SUPERB pinset
-Cluster galore
-Fruited at high temp, thinner fruits with similar yield
-Salted through first pinning and flush - careful to avoid pins
-aborted 15% of pins






Total yield from 4 tubs, 1 flush per tub: 21oz


Summary:

Every tub contamed. Tub1 contamed towards the end of the 1st flush whereas the other 3 tubs contamed during pinning. I have narrowed down my contam infestation to G2G'ing from jars to spawn bags. I also noticed some bags are getting small holes on the bottom folds during PCing. I have a small 8qt PC, could be the cause?
Tub1 was the only tub without spawn bags and was the only one to \show signs of contams right at the end of the first flush, not during pinning or colonization.
