Questions about my cakes
    #19406479 - 01/12/14 12:41 AM (10 years, 19 days ago)

So here is the little journey my cakes have been on the past couple of weeks. This is my first grow and I'm just trying to trial and error until I get a good routine going and can successfully and efficiently grow some shroomies :laugh:

First starting off my 5 jars


Just got out the pressure cooker foil was removed shortly after


Mysc. was growing well and strong and I think it stalled toward the top of the jars. Going to have to order some short wide mouth jars, won't make that mistake again. Then I didn't check on my jars for a couple of days and come back to see these pins scattered everywhere.















Decided to put two of the best looking cakes in one bowl and the other cake with the big pin on it in another. I also realized I did dunk the cakes wrong because they were not fully submerged. I also had to leave the cakes dunked for around 35 hours instead of 24 because my SGFC wasn't ready yet :thumbdown:



Actually ended up picking the big pin on the side because it look like it was stalled anyways. Got a nice little tiny trip off it.



This cake is the only cake pinning at the moment and is my #1 hope for some yield.



Awful looking cake having heavy doubts about this one. Advice?




Same goes for this cake, no pinning and odd looking.




This was a Karo liquid culture I had going and I checked up on it one day and it looks like this now. Wtf? Should I toss the whole thing away? Not too knowledgable about liquid cultures.

Also pinning before full colonization can point to contams.

Should I keep the pinning cake and toss the other two? Also how do you tell the difference between yellow = mysc. metoblism and yellow = bacteria/contam?

I threw the two and buried it in the backyard I doubt anything will come from it but oh well. I guess I'm just going to keep the one pinning cake in my SGFC and baby it and see if I can get anything from it, but yes I'm going to just knock up a 3 half pint jars and wait until my other jars I ordered come in and go for round two :cool:.

Thanks for the advice guys I'll keep posted on this thread if anything happens with the cake

You have enough room to fit a bit more perlite in that shotgun.

Yes the cake looks so lonely in there. I planned on buying a couple bags of perlite tomorrow anyways I didn't realize one whole bag wouldn't suffice :mad:

Too many holes not spaced properly.

1/4" holes spaced 2" apart in a grid pattern............it's not that hard.........

Not sure how I missed that one but yea it looks like you have then spaced every 2 1/2 to 3" horizontally and spaced 1" vertically.

Is there any way I can save these guys? My cake seems to have contams I thought I read somewhere that it's possible to cut out the parts that show signs on contam and the mysc will regrow in those parts, but not entirely sure how true that is. Any advice? Toss it? and the reason the cake looks so wet is because I directly sprayed the contamed areas to try and keep it going airborne.
