dont worry, it will come. i just put a fresh bulk cake in my sgfc 2 days ago and am waiting for the knots to turn into pins. pay attention for possible contams; bc this thing takes up alot of space in ur fc, it is easy for mold to build up in a corner that is not noticable if you're only looking at the fc from one angle.

I have cakes surrounding it(you can see a cap on the middle right) they're all 1/4 pint test cakes to see if my cultures and syringes are good, but they produce so well that I don't really need to make the bricks but heh why not. This makes it hard to see the sides but I keep an eye on it as best I can I'm sure I would notice something unless it was on the bottom. I'm not expecting this thing to pin for probably at least 2-3 more days any way.

Lots of knotting on the sides and a bit on the top should be proud pins very soon I'll take a picture then.

Not a huge amount of pins on the top but there's hundreds on the sides.

looks good, man. here is a picture of how my cake is doing:



i just started to harvest a few mushrooms today. i was trying to figure out a timeline regarding when i put mine in fruiting conditions versus when you put yours in fruiting conditions. i believe you put yours in fruiting conditions before mine, but mine may have been sitting in the shoebox colonzing longer. this cake i made had a high vermiculite content bc i was lacking coir and made up for it with verm. these fruits seems to be bigger than the last bulk cake i made. also, it may have something to do with me using a rack versus you using a big piece of foil. i was worried about the cake recieving humidity from the perlite and thats why i use a sink rack instead of tin foil. you may want to look into that. looks good otherwise, tho!

That looks good too. The AA+ I'm growing has always been on the slow side compared to any thing else I grow. Hopefully I don't end up with a mass amount of aborts. I can easily count over 100 pins today, 64pins that are big enough to see without scrutinizing. I've had the AA+ strain that's in this brick grow on 1/4pint cakes and make 4-5" fruits so I'm hoping for some monsters.

I can't wait for my creeper brick to be ready. I'm still hammering out my agar work. Lot's of trial and error working with that your first few times. I'm actually considering re-trying no pour petri's with my pp5 1/4 pint jars. They're not as deep as using the glass jars which makes cutting out sections and condensation a pain.

The last time I grew this AA+ out on the test cake I ended up with 1 colored pin, but it still had the phenotypes of the other fruits as far as shape. Maybe a few will pop out of this brick.

i just started succeeding with agar. i found the main problem is finding a sterile source of petri dishes. if you can get the pp5 jars sterile then do it. if you're experiencing alot of error, probably has to do with whatever you're using as dishes.

I have glass dishes but the problem is how hard they are to handle in a SAB as well as how loose the lid fits so storage is a pain. I could buy parafilm but I would rather not. I had luck with the no-pours using the really short ball jars but the condensation made spores germinate everywhere on the dish which was pretty useless for me. Contamination has been an issue but not a big issue. I think I know where and why I was getting the nasty stuff. Mostly being my procedure and haphazardness while stoned.

I got the idea to just use my pp5 1/4 pints(with a similar to grain lid) as no-pour dishes because I've been using them for sterile PF cakes to use as "wedges" to inoculate grain jars with good success. They're like petris that give me a few extra grams of free shrooms when I'm done with them since I use the SGFC for the shoebox bricks anyway.

edit: wireless keyboards do some funny shit when they're running low on batteries.

are you saying you inoculate grain jars with pieces of pf cakes? did i understand that correctly?

i am in the process of trying to isolate a b+ dish but i am fighting trich that keeps following me. i made a couple dozen sterile agar dishes with 0 contamination after a week or so but put them in my fridge until i am ready to use them. it has been a month. now, when i use them, there is condensation that makes a pool of water and also the agar in the dish cracks in different places when it thaws. idk if it is common knowledge as to avoid this but beware before you make this mistake.

Yep, But they are PF cakes in a pp5 1/4 pint container with a silicone SHIP and polyfill GE port. So there's no dry verm barrier to bring contaminates in. My cakes are just as clean as a grain master jar. I cut a small piece out of it before it goes through consolidation put the lid back on let it consolidate and fruit it. This is all done in a SAB of course.

Bodhisatta, what PP5 quarter pints do you use for no-pour?


The only difference between a Cake to Grain transfer is fewer inoculation points.

I haven't tried the 1/4pint pp5 jar for a no-pour yet only the traditional small fat ball jars that come in a 4 pack.

They're either glad or ziploc brand with a blue lid. It's actually like using the cake as a agar wedge so still the same 1 inoculate point. I can still g2g that grain jar to other grain jars then but I use the PF cake to make sure there's no contams in my LC syringe (I end up using the LC syringe to inoculate other grain jars through their SHIPs though rather than doing g2g).
