PE PF Jar Growth Question
    #19341841 - 12/29/13 02:37 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Hello fellow shroomerites, 12 1/2 pint jars were inoculated with Penis Envy on 12/10 it took until 12/20 for the spores to germinate and begin growing. All jars are showing seemingly healthy signs of growth but 10 days after germination, sitting above the fridge at approximately 70 degrees Fahrenheit the jars are all about where these two are which are both images from today 12/29, is this  colonization speed normal for PE?

thats typical for multispore in general, if you plan on fruiting those do yourself the favor and bump the consolidation time to 2 weeks then do me a favor and update:cool:

It doesn't matter what i think of you...all that matters is clean spawn

There is no "normal colonization speed" for cubes.

Colonization speed is dependant upon moisture content, genetics, available nutrients, etc.

Looks like healthy growth to me.

But just a heads up, PE tends to do shitty on cakes.....I say spawn them to bulk.....you have 12 of them....that would make a monotub.

No need to let them consolidate if spawning.

Ya, I dont actually plan on just fruiting these bad boys because i have read and researched that they dont do well on pf cakes so i plan on breaking them up using a cheese grater then spawning them to aluminum baking trays 11"x9"x4" with damion5050's coir tek for the bulk sub this is my first grow and so far no contams in any of the jars

Consolidating does not mean more mycellium.

It simply means the mycellium is given time to digest what it has already colonized.

Mycellium grows outward in a 3D sphere....if the outside of the jar is fully colonized then so is the inside.

Fully colonized is fully colonized.

When spawning it is better to use young and vigorous mycellium vs. mycellium that has sat around and consolidated.

you consolidate to make sure the middle is done colonizing go breaking open a cake that aint done in the middle is asking for shit to turn green

That was my general thought as well after they are completely colonized i plan on letting them consolidate for a week to make them more solid then dunking them for 24 hours after birthing to add lost moisture i figured that would help promote growth after grating them and adding them to the coir

trip you've been around long enough to know better, it's to let the mycelium properly digest it's meal

Well then would it be better not to let them consolidate?

yes you want the mycelium while it's still at the colonizing stage it slows down once it consolidates

Once they are fully colonized there is no need for that extra week of them just sitting there...you want them to still be in colonization mode so they rip thru the bulk substrate.....the mycellium can get lazy(lol) if left to consolidate.
