1st grow evar! (GT)
    #18964730 - 10/11/13 04:19 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Hello, first post in this area, but I've been lurking A LOT.

Anyways, I bought all the stuff to grow shrooms with pf tek, watched tons of videos, etc.  Basically got tired of going out and hunting, hoping for active finds....I will still venture out and forage, but, I know how my brain candy will be supplied for the future, lol.

Tuesday of this week, I mixed the vermiculite, BRF, and water and put it into the jars for inoculation.  I sterilized without a pressure cooker in a large stock pot for 1 hour 45 minutes.

Pictures of my progress, comments VERY welcome!




























I know, I got too small jars, but it'll work, right?  I already have the other 8oz jars, but am going to see these through....

Welcome to the Shroomery.  You first successful grow is an amazing experience.  From the looks of your pictures you are following what RogerRabbit has outlined in his videos.  And it looks like you are following it ro the T.:thumbup:  If you have not yet done so I would suggest buying RR's complete video.  You will learn so much from it.  You can purchase a download of the video for only $10.  It is worth every penny. Here is a link: http://www.mushroomvideos.com/

I have just started a Golden Teacher culture also.  This is the 1st time working with the strain for me so I am going to enjoy watching this thread.

:congrats:

I grind my own brown rice also. I try and grind the
Brown rice as fine as possible, seems to offer the
best results IMO. Coffee bean grinders work amazing,
I usually find good cheap ones at my local goodwill.


Keep up the good work.

Yeah, sorry I didn't have pics of inoculation....I had both hands busy, but I was very sterile.  I made a glovebox, and was meticulous about sterilizing the syringe after every jar, etc.  I washed my bathroom with bleach, and rubbed my arms with rubbing alcohol.  I also rubbed alcohol inside the surfaces of the glovebox, and I dare say it was squeaky clean.  Thanks for the compliments, I will keep updating this thread with my progress.

I did?  All the videos I've watched have them being put on upside-down like that.  Am I missing something?  Thanks for the help.

Either way works, it's usually recommended to put
them upside down to prevent the jars from creating
a seal during pressure cooking. If not using the
steam method.

If the seal is created, during inoculation the substrate
jars can suck all the spore solution into the first injection
you attempt.

Day 4:

Every jar is showing signs of colonization.  This is faster than I've ever read it happening.  Could this be something else happening?  I was very careful with being clean in every stage of the process.  Here are the pics:

Update day five:





Is the fast colonization because my jars are small?  Also, the second pic is most colonized, and the last pic is least colonized.  I am extremely happy about my progress.  Going to Home Depot today to get the supplies together for FC, any advice other than follow RR's videos "to the t"?  I noticed the videos didn't mention anything about light cycles (12/12, etc) or anything like that.  Any suggestions?  My shopping list for HD:

Clear tote for FC
Perlite
hygrometer
lights??  (suggestions?)
air pump?? (do I need this? I will have holes drilled on the bottom of the tote, so this won't work, right?)
air stone??

Anything I am missing, I would appreciate suggestions as always, thanks!

No need for a hygrometer, air pump or air stones.

Just get a tub, drill 1/4" holes every 2" in a grid pattern on all 6 sides, and dump 4-5" of perlite in it.

Have the chamber raised so that air can flow underneath it, and have it in a room with no running fans.

That's it, nothing else.

Mist/fan the cakes a few times a day.

All the jars are blippin' away.  Slowly taking over the jars.  Not going to take too many pics that don't really show anything worthwhile.  Thanks for all with the help!  Updates will come in a few days....

for your lighting i would just get 1 of those compact florescent bulbs (the twirly looking high efficiency ones) and plug that into a 12/12 timer.

everything's lookin good though man! think about moving into grains after finishing this one up:thumbup:

IME the UV in the reptile lights will contribute to an excessive number of mutants.

Thanks for the comments.

Yeah, I accidentally ordered these from picture only hastily on Amazon.  I have ordered these for the future, at least, if I keep growing (it's pretty interesting so far) I will go more advanced with the grain, and agar and stuff.  I will only be needing these jars for the pf tek part, right?  Still learning about that stuff.

Small update:  Jars are coming along nicely, no signs of contamination (I think), and one jar is almost white completely, and all the others are going along fine.....I'd say ten days, to fourteen days and I'll be ready to birth/dunk/roll.  I'm working on my SGFC (shotgun fruiting chamber) so I'll post pics later for critique, also.  As always, comments and suggestions are welcome.  Thanks for all you guy's feedback.








Can someone point me to beginners grain/bulk/mono stuff?  I want to finish the verm and brown rice I have (two more cycles) then do something that will yield more fruit.  Also, I'm a chef, and I'd probably do a gourmet edible grow then magic grow and alternate like that....thanks for your help!

Here are some pictures of colonization, and also my SGFC for your critique.  i am very anxious to birth these puppies, but I keep hearing in Yoda's voice "The boy has no patience" and I say "He will learn patience!"

Anyway, I am buying a light this week and I already have a timer for it for 12/12 lighting.  Also a clean spray bottle for misting.

I still use one of those exact tubs with great success.
:smug:
And of course other fruiting contraptions of my own.


Lookin good man.

Edit:
Forgot to add, you might already know.
To be sure your FC sits at least three feet
off of the ground and have it lifted at least
3-4 inches off of whatever the FC sits on.

I usually use my old tall half pints under
the four corners, maybe one out two in the
middle for support.

Thanks everyone!!! 

I have received the Glad lock "jars" and mixed the verm and brf and sterilized them all.  I did eight jars.  I inoculated them a few minutes ago.  I used the "B+" spore syringe for these.  I will keep everyone updated as to my progress with those, also.  Everything seemed to go faster and easier with the plastic containers.  I was still just as careful, too, with being very clean, so, we'll see.  Thanks again for your positive feedback everyone!  I am very excited about this whole thing, and it's very calming going through the steps and watching everything go.

PF cakes never get old...at least to me!
Grains are great too, but cakes will forever
have my heart.

The plastic jars just seem to give me good
vibes. I know the jars have nothing to do
with it, but these are only 4 going on 5 days
in here soon. Great growth.
I can't tell you how many packs I've bought
just incase they stopped selling them...



Not trying to steal your thread brother, just wanna send
some good vibes your way!

I birthed the cakes a little while ago, and they are now soaking for 18 hours.  I am so excited!  All the cakes smelled very fresh and mushroomy, and they all were firm.  No discoloration at all.

My plastic containers are showing signs of colonization, also at the inoculation points.  That one will be good!

I'll post some pics of the complete setup tomorrow once it's up and running after the roll.

Why are you only soaking for
18 hours?  Glad to heart the great
news on your freshly birthed cakes!

Soak for 24 hours. Cakes are really dense and take a long time to soak up water

OF course, I watched the videos again, and did a lot of reading while I was waiting, and I don't remember where I got the 18 hour thing.  Another six hours will be the 24 hour mark where I will set everything up.  I caught myself, lol!  I think one of the videos I watched had the text say 18-24 hours for the soak, so maybe that's where, but I am finishing the 24 hour soak today.

You got the right idea, get them going in a cycle. If you run out of space or end up with more than you were banking on you can always try spawning the extras to bulk. Nonetheless looking good :super:

Wow it's been awhile since I checked this thread out.  I am glad to see everything is moving along nicely.  Here's a little bit of heads up for the future Sizl.  You know the tote you picked up for your fruiting chamber?  Make a note of it.  That is the exact one you will want to pick up when you start making mono tubs.

Nicely done SizlChest

Here's a couple cakes from one of my new
grow logs. Just 12 days after inoculation.
Same ones from previous pic I posted.

Thanks!  I will keep it in mind.  I am already looking toward bulk, agar strain isolation, cloning, etc....

I am misting and fanning twice a day.  I see the cakes kinda "fuzzing" through the vermiculite, and there are slight "clumps" of mycelium forming on the cakes.  Not very noticeable in the pics, and I could be overthinking, also.  Just be patient, sizlchest!!!

Today there are double the amount of pins on the cakes.....

Do I stop fanning and misting, misting and fanning?  Or keep going with that?

Here's some more from today....










Just keep doing what I'm doing?  Notice the ones with the small pins?  #3 and #6.  Those are cakes where the top is kinda concave, and water from misting kinda pools there....should I let them dry out a bit more than the other ones?  Is it affecting it with the water there?

Probably isn't hurting anything, but the water from your previous mist should be evaporated before you mist again. Those cakes look wicked tho, nice job :rockon:

I mist enough to see the wetness on the whole cake.  I mist 120 fans....like a full minute, I guess, I count stuff weird.

I just use scissors, never liked twist and pull though it can work depending on how deep the mushie is rooted in there.

Really cool, congrats!  I enjoyed your pictures. 
I thought it was difficult but doesn't look too hard.
I think I may continue my research and try this soon.

Great job man!!!  You are inspiring me, I am starting the exact same Tek tomorrow!!  The only difference is I work in a microbiological lab so I have access to autoclaves and sterile flow hoods that I am going to utilize to make sure I am at zero contamination.  I hope mine goes as quickly as yours!

Commercial farms don't rip out large chunks of substrate(which DOES invite molds) to harvest mushrooms, and then cut them a second time to remove the debris.  If they did, they'd never make a dime selling their product at less than $2/pound wholesale.

Cut mushrooms off at the base, and if anyone tells you the leftover stump is going to rot in the two to three weeks the substrate has left to live anyway, just know they're an idiot with no experience whatever.

I am aware of the legality issue.  I autoclaved and inoculated today without issue.  The jars are sitting in the cupboard above my fridge as we speak.  Will check on them in a couple days and see how they are doing.

Just so I'm understanding this correctly; you innoc'd in the lab, then transfer jars back to your house for storage and colonization period? I'm a noob so I'm curious wouldn't this make it vulnerable to contams a little more by disturbing the dry verm laying (assuming you are going off PF Tek). This was a question I was going to ask on a thread anyway, transportation of jars after inoculation general rules or guidelines to avoid contams/ or other issues.

The fact that the fruits were twisted and pulled off the substrate, means that chunks of substrate were ripped out as well.

This is what they were cutting off.

The argument is that cutting them off of the substrate INSTEAD of twisting and pulling them will cause less damage to the substrate, and be less work in the end.

I posted that video because RR said

"""Commercial farms don't rip out large chunks of substrate(which DOES invite molds) to harvest mushrooms, and then cut them a second time to remove the debris."""

And in that video they do just what RR said commercial farms do not do.

As a chef, I think it's cool to note, now that I notice these things now....button mushrooms are always shipped cut at the base.  Shitake, portabello, oyster, (not crimini, they are cut) are usually ripped, and have substrate attached at the stem base.


I have harvested...probably a couple ounces, no scale around here, atm.  The cakes are under water for their 24-hour soak then second flush.  I understand I don't do a roll in verm for the second flush?

This might be an issue if I was less sterile, but I kept the jars completely covered sealed and sterile after inoculation. So no this shouldn't be an issue until they are exposed in an area where contams might be present. Most contams are from insufficient sterilization or introduction during inoculation. I should have avoided those with my equipment.

Okay so let me get this straight, are you saying that industrial mushroom farm techniques are wrong or that RR is wrong?

Unless the mushies are so lightly rooted in that they are almost falling off on their own, cut them.

Not gonna disagree. I cut mine for the most part, not because I buy the whole mold forms in the divots argument (I have never seen mold form exclusively in damaged areas, and I have busted subs in half and not had them contam), but because I just don't want to damage or remove good fruiting areas that may have knots and primordia waiting for the next flush.

However if I had a monoculture that tended to have lightly rooted, almost falling over tendency's, then I would probably use twist and pull due to ease of use. Don't have a isolate like that yet but maybe one day :wink:

30 days? Never knew you could do substrates in plastic, sounds novel

I assume you got making the dr00gz into your system now and will never pay for shrooms again

Never really paid for them anyway, only rarely had them.  I found some pan foes and thought I'd hunt  the things.  Got tired of looking and looking and looking and looking and looking and looking, so said fuck it, I'm growing these.  I'll never look back.  I had an amazing 20 gram fresh shroom trip, and I am studying on how to clone using agar, and growing in bulk. 

The plastic jars are looking pretty good, now, I'd say ten-14 days and they will be ready to birth.

UPDATE:
Things are going well.  I liked the idea of the rack that I've seen in a few threads recently, so I got one.  I just now put the cakes on it today, though, so I don't think it'll really affect the grow, although there are a lot of bottom pins happening.

Bottom pinning like that is good, I seen where it = larger fruits.

UPDATE:

I have harvested the second flush, and have dunked for a possible third flush, although all these fruits are noticeably smaller, and my flush weighed 65 grams wet.  I had about 40 more in the first flush.  I made capsules with this batch.....After the third flush, it should be time to birth my plastics.  I will change the perlite and sanitize the sgfc beforehand, though.  I am putting together a supply list for agar, and bulk trays, because I want some stockpile.  I want to isolate and clone a nice strong mushie.  Anyway, here is the latest update picture, and this was taken yesterday....

Didn't use the rack. 


I thought I'd put this here:

I just did my last run of steam sterilizing some jars for cake spawn.  My pressure cooker (23qt) will arrive Tuesday, and I'm excited to start some WBS and at the same time, start isolating on agar.....might do the agar and isolate first.....anyway, I'm fucking excited!!!  Going to make my own lids with filter and inoculation ports.  I will start a new thread documenting this, I think I'm actually going to write a timeline, too, to keep my mind organized, as it will be distracted several times, if you know what I mean.  OK, thanks for following this, my first grow, and thanks for all the encouragement!!!!

If your doing grains and working in a SAB then screw the inoculation ports. Just lift the lid a little and squirt in the ms solution. Is the same way you will inoculate once you start using agar except instead of squirting in solution, you drop in a wedge.

^Why didn't I think of that?!?!?  I've seen it done, I've watched RR and TranscendingLife's videos on GTG a hundred times....I guess just following the lid tek completely, I guess, so sue me, lol.

Naw GLC is too risky, rather just G2G that shit. But I do got some Gallindoi LC going right now that I did with a clean wedge, might use em for that. But really if you have an SAB just crack the lid and squirt in what ya need. Works for agar, works for ms, works for G2G :shrug: As for getting the LC out, I got me some LC lids with SHIP and whatman filters. Those with my 60cc syringes and 4" needles should work good.
