first grow log (rhy>g2g>monos)
    #19325537 - 12/25/13 01:14 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

hope you are feeling good n' mellow and enjoying your day

becoming familiar with the search function over the past year has lent me a sea of information, now is the time to turn it into knowledge. won't you join me along the way? :heart: I will include mishaps for my own sake.. (pictures to be included later, currently transfer is not working)

plan(for what it is worth) rhy berries (RR's rhy grain prep)-> g2g-> four 106qt monotubs, sub: 50/50 Coir+verm+gypsum pasteurized using evilmushroom666's tek. 12qts spawn:?sub (?=whatever it takes to get to 3.5 inch depth)


goal: have fun, learn a lot, gain experience to later apply to a marthas closet


So far in my journey..
12/18/13 - ten quart jars (one cup full/each) of PC'd organic rhy berries inoculated with 1cc/qt of Cambodian in a SAB. *mistakes: (1)re-covered all jars with foil after inoculation for three days. (2) Placed five jars on top of a radiator separated with cardboard buffer and a shirt covering, reaching temps of 90F. (3) placed three jars inside PC for three days reaching temps of 65F. (4) removed 15lb weight from PC early and cracked one jar (patched with scotch tape) :facepalm3:

12/21/13 removed foil and placed all ten jars in ambient light at room temperature

12/22/13 PC'd sixteen qt jars in preparation for g2g transfers

12/25/13 (four days after proper GE+temperature+lighting) Seven of the ten jars miraculously show myc - single largest cluster is covering eight grains, the smallest (several) cover one to two. My guess on % colonized is 5%.

12/26/13 Three of the seven quart are taking off, and four of seven are lagging but showing myc growth; barely. Two dozen more quart jars will be PC'ed in prep for g2g by the morning (making forty total ready for receive g2g). My guess on (fastest three jars)% colonized is 10%.

12/29/13 I shook two jars two days ago as they looked about 20%. They recovered quickly and look to be about 50% this morning. I shook a third jar yesterday morning. The rest of the jars showing myc growth are still very much behind the leading three but are still growing.

12/30/13 Two jars are looking about 90%. Others progressing more rapidly.
post to be updated as I go...

1/1/14 Two jars at 95% colonized, one at 50% and the remaining show slow growth

1/5/14 two successful g2gs with 17/17 showing myc & no contams. One more g2g to 8 today (=25 total). Upon checking jars before g2g I noticed about fourteen had contams, the spider web looking one, green and black contams. Now I wont PC a week+ before transfers. Today the contaminated jars will have to be PC'ed and emptied. I decided to PC and empty the jars still at 10% colonization because of probable unseen contams.

1/12/14 Two definite contaminated jars, some I am unsure of (pics posted below - feedback please!). nine jars at 100% and about nine more at >50% after shaken. Pasteurizing coir & verm now. Tubs will be concocted today. :thumbup:

1/16/14 Spawned tub is looking healthy after two days. I forgot to sterilize the tub or garbage bag. Doh. Spawning another tub today and preping more rhy for g2gs. One jar contaminated with green and black mold, a few jars are stalling, 90% are thriving. :thumbup:

2/5/14 One 66qt monotub was a few days into fruiting and got contaminated, these are the remaining two fruiting, and one more in colonization. About three inch fruits being seen thus far (8 days into fruiting). The lower tub was put into fruiting 7 days ago but no signs of pinning. I fan each tub two to three times daily. First fruits - thanks to the shroomery!


There is not a lot to say now, except that as I go I will keep an open mind to any tried and true methods, suggestions and of course critiques.

equal rights & justice!

Good luck, and be patient. 

Few tips, from one noob to another, no need for extra heat, will only cause problems. 

Stick to the teks, less goes wrong that way.

Be patient.

Be patient.

Cheers!!

Hey there ya stinky hippie,

Looks like you could use a lil more rye in your jars...try 1.5 cups per qt, that is how much I use and it fills em up about 3/4 of the way. It's also better to wait to prep your receiving jars until you're closer to G2G day. If I prep them as early as you have here, I will normally re-PC them the day before G2G to be safe. (No telling how long your first jars will take to colonize coming from MS syringe, ya know?) Live and learn!

edit: just saw you're planning on using 12qts of spawn for one tub, you can easily make 2 tubs with that much!  :smile:

Love your Av.
Love ya jumping straight to bulk subs.
I'll check back in on ya :popcorn:

Laters :peace:

I hear including more rhy - I have in the jars I prepared today. Originally I thought that the myc would expand a lot.. So far as re-PC'ing the jars: I will, cause, why not. I have read some threads saying others PC theirs  weeks before transfers, though.
I hear what you say on spawn qts per tub. I have planned on twelve per tub on the word of JMcDoogle on his similar sized monos. Plugging in my dimensions and depth to a sub calculator if I go 1:2 that means ~8qts spawn:~14qts sub, so says substratecalculator.info . I will plan on 12 qts per tub expecting some contams, and take it as a win if 8/12qts make it though to 100%.  :happyheart:

thank you for checking on me

adequately filled grain jars

:thumbup:

supplies picked up - I read going from prints to agar is best, can I have some opinions?

Swazey hes doing the unconventional 106 qt monos like I was

I found twelve to be a good number - its 60% of 2 PC runs and only takes 1 jar to make
twelve.

Higher rate of colonization and defense against contamination. For me since I was new
to bulk this seemed like a good idea. Still fluffy and dense after four flushes on the
106qt mono myself. Probably looking at fifth/sixth

Print to agar is definitely the way to go if you got a print in a trade or something like that.

Since you already have jars colonizing you've really skipped the need to do that.

Grow out what you have, pick out a few mushies you would like to clone, and drop some tissue from them on agar plates to grow out.

Use wedges from agar plate to inoculate the master jars for your next project :thumbup:

1/1/14


Is the difference between 95% and 100% a large one? I have today off and  it would be a fine day to transfer grains.
One of the two near fully colonized has a crack in it. I read that sterilizing any instrument and making transfers is a huge contaminant risk, on the other hand, if I bang the jar to break up the myc it will shatter and the jar will be lost for sure. I may tape the jar up and bang it or I may PC a fork and stick it in and stir it up. If I use a SAB to break up the myc with a sterile instrument right before g2g the master jar would need to be exposed for maybe three or four more seconds than if banged, and could be shaken after being forked.

just wait for 100, cubes are pretty easy to break up and you got lots of room which makes it easier, wrap it in a towel to be safe:thumbup:

I've used a spoon with 100% of my G2G -

Zero Contams in Jars  - Zero Contams in Monos

Monos have lasted six flushes, and as low as two -

I used a long ten inch or so stainless narrow pastry spoon -

Long handle, little spoon - wiped it with alcohol, set fire, let it burn out and
continued to do the g2g transfers.


:shrug:
