Grain spawn backfired. Only a month left.. Should i do pf tek?
    #19088803 - 11/05/13 06:39 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Hey
Ok so i was planning on making some grain spawn and doing a couple of tubs. But i think my syringe was contaminated because it was used and oldish.

I only have approx a month left before im going on a vacation that i wanted to take mushrooms with.

Should i start the grains over? Or should i do the pf tek? What will be the fastest? I only did the pf tek once or twice

If your syringe is contaminated, it does not matter which route you go, you will have contamination.

You need clean inoculant first... good luck with that timeline.

Mushrooms in 30 days or less is a tough proposition.  Not to mention dry mention drying them and you don't have a clean LC.  P. Cyans are faster from scratch.  I'm guessing you only have P. Cubensis to play with right now.

If you are gonna travel with it grind it and mix it with chocolate.  Also be responsible ok.

Yes do some small cakes 1/4 pint cakes will do it.  Use a bit extra spore solution to make it go a bit faster.  Keep it light and fluffy just use verm, brf, and water no additives.

Enjoy friend and stay safe.

The BRF Tek is the fastest way to go from spores to mushrooms, but trying to get a harvest in a month is pushing the best case scenario.

We have had contests before. 27.5-30 days for p. cubensis is the fastest.  But that doesn't allow time for drying.

If you have experience, yes. Otherwise, no.

If it's a syringe from the same vendor as your original cubensis syringe then it's probably contaminated, too.

I say knock up a few small half pints with a few cc's of liquid culture. They should colonize fairly quick since they're so small and you're using lc. Then I'd take the colonized grains and make a mini mono tub with a very high spawn ratio. If you're lucky, you may have time to get a first flush. I did something like that with quart jars and a low amount of spores per jar and it took about a month and a half. Since you have lc, you would be using small jars, and you would have a high spawn ratio, you may be able to knock off 2 weeks. Also, dry in front of a space heater and split the stems. They get almost completely dry in under a day. They should feel cracker dry but they still have some water to lose. After that, if you have time, put them in a damp rid chamber. Or find a way to being them along fresh. Either way, good luck is going to be a deciding factor of your success, so good luck!

I have some experience with pans.. I make the syringes myself.
I think i'll make a tub and just take it with me on holiday.. Im going to the coast and the humidity there is always 95% +

Do a 1/2 pint grain jar. Shake the fuck out of it and keep it incubated at 80 and then case it when fully colonised
