I suppose I'll document this one, as well. This grow has already started, as in the jars are about 80% colonized, and will be left for about 10 days to consolidate while I try for a third flush on my first grow. I always welcome comments, or suggestions. Thanks for everyone who helped me with my first grow, everything went/is going awesome.



I am using the glad lock plastic jars this time. Here is a picture from a couple days after inoculation:

This was taken today. I would say it's been three weeks, maybe?

Sorry for nothing more exciting than that, but, here starts another grow. I will probably try to pick a mushie to isolate and clone from, but I still need more supplies before I start that process. Need a PC, petri dishes, agar, other misc stuff. I will document this thread as my journey into bulk subs, and monotubs. Any tips for this would be greatly appreciated, as well.

Nice work. Do you have plastic wrap all over your SAB because it cracked?

if you are trying to cover the hole before you use it i would suggest to just spray the outside of the plastic with 70% alcohol and stick a piece of cling wrap bigger than the hole on it. thats what i do and it works really well and you dont waste as much cling wrap. i know cling wrap doesnt cost too much but it seems like putting all that cling wrap on it would be a pain in the ass.

I just have that to keep more of a tight "seal" when I have my arms in there, I just slit it with a razor to get my arms in there....also, I just keep it wrapped up when not using it.

It just takes a second to wrap it up. No hassle, maybe unnecessary, though.

I inoculated 10 1/2 pint jars with yet another "strain" syringe, Blue Meanie, while my Glad jars consolidate. I plan on breaking the 1/2 pints into a bulk substrate in trays. Coir and verm, yes? After that experiment comes through, I should be well into messing with agar, as I already have the sterile petri dishes, a scalpel with blades, alcohol torch, agar mix, PC on the way soon, coir on the way, quart jars, plastic lide, synthetic disc filters, tyvek sleeves, I'm gonna use WBS. This is just preliminary thinkking out loud, but, I am addicted to shroom growing, and I'm researching non-stop, still. Soon after my first couple monotube, I'm going to look into other species besides cubes that are supposedly more potent, etc. This is so fun.

UPDATE:
New cakes are born, and placed into sgfc with fresh perlite, and nice and cleaned tote. Old cakes are almost done with third flush....should I grate these into a bulk sub, or is there anything I can do to use these? I thought about just going out and burying them in the mulch they just put down around here......Anyway, here are a couple pics:

UPDATE:
Well, here it is! Starting the pinning! With these cakes I know I'll get more yield than the 1/4 pint jars. Anyways, enjoy the tiny mushrooms, they're so cuuuuuute!





That mycelium growing through the verm, is that normal? Is it too much misting? Too little? Too much fanning? Too little?

Lookin so good! I was curious, is there any benefit/disadvantage to putting your cakes up on a rack and letting them fruit from the underside like you did (inadvertently?) last time? Could that possibly increase yield or will it hurt them?
God I am so jealous. I want to do this so badly but I am leaving for a month long trip in a week. When I get back though...

It didn't do much that I could tell other than make it hard to pick up the cake for harvest. The bottom pins (not even the underside) would weave under a wire.

I am freaking jealous of your genetics/environment right now. Your cakes pin SO much faster than mine. What is your room temperature? Mine has been a bit cold at 66, and I am now on day 10 with no pinning Still good to see you succeeding.

Got an update I'm not really happy with. I am going to monotubs at this point, so it's not really bad, and it's the second flush of these cakes. So I present to you, my first contaminate in a growing area:

That's what I thought. What causes it? Is there anything I need to do to keep it at a minimum? I already harvested the rest of the cakes and tossed them in the dumpster. Cleaned and sanitized the sgfc, also.
