First harvest! / Puert Rican producing small fruits
#19910148 - 04/28/14 01:16 AM (10 years, 8 months ago) |

Here's an update on my growth, still looking healthy to everyone, right? The middle jar is showing what I think is rhyzmophic growth. Any opinions?
All 5 jars:

Jar 1:


Jar 2:


Jar 3:


Jar 4:

Jar 5:

*******UPDATE******** Re-arranged my cake to add 2 more cakes to the fruiting chamber.
My FC is a traditional SGFC 1-4" holes drilled on all six sides. I also have 3.5-4 on perlite on the bottom.
I discovered a fat pin on the bottom of the cake which is new not one that was previously pinned invitro. The rest of my cake has no new pins.
The strain is Puerto Rican, known to be notoriously fussy fruiters.
My cakes were all dunked/cold shocked and rolled. Humidity has been reading at 85-90 at most, but I know my hygrometer is most likely inaccurate. I have been misting/fanning once an hour. I work nights so I am gone between 6-8 hours.( which is why I'm misting fanning every hour while I'm here.) At night humidity drops to around 70. Temp is constant between 75-77 f.
Does everything sound okay?

1. No visible myc. If the white spots you have are growing it's probably a bacteria or mold. 2. Wrong jars. 3. Unless the aluminum foil is your lid it is removed and left off after pressure cooking and your dry verm layer protects it. Leaving the foil on causes to much moisture and loss of gas exchange capability.

Thanks you, looks like I'll be giving it another run. These were the only jars available in the dept stores near me and they didn't have lids so I tried improvising. Will be tossing these, I have the correct mason jars with lids so I'll let you know my progress when I actually have some.

Your grocery store probably have these, http://www.shroomery.org/11387/Plastic-tek
you'll have a lot of hard time to take your cakes out of your jar, you need wider one, and this plastik tek is a good alternative accessible to everyone and even good for agar shit! Good Luck

I actually found the correct mason jars with lids for my next go at it. Thank you all. And do you have any idea what bacteria/mold that was? Didn't fit any discriotions I've seen about them but then again there are so many. Didn't realize you could click the pics to make them larger lol.
I will update when my second batch (hopefully) takes off

Those specs just look like brown rice kernels that have swelled due to water. Mine have that too! There is no visible myc in those though

Okay that sounds like a possibility. I tossed the jars just to be on the safe side. There was no weird smell which is why I was up in the air about it.

Okay so these aren't the absolute correct jars, but they'll do.
I pressure cooked brf and verm jars 6 days ago, inoculated, and incubated in a 5 gallon bucket. The bucket and cabinet were both sprayed with hospital grade germicide (I have dogs, extra precaution) with the lid very loosely on it.
Left them alone (generally) then decided to check them around day 4. I left tape off one jar to see if the tape I was using to cover the inoculation holes has been allowing air exchange.
The jar without tape showed the first signs of growth so I decided to take the tape off all jars and now I see growth on 3/5 jars.
Does this look normal? Any advice/criticism welcome!
And I will be buying the Tupperware next go around so I can finally have the CORRECT containers lol. TYIA!

Looks good from what I can see. The issue with those jars is colonization of the bottom sometimes stalls. They do work a lot of the time and will hopefully work for you.

One started colonizing from almost the bottom, so I'm hoping I won't have many problems. And now 4/5 are showing growth. So happy to hear its looking normal, next step, perfecting my FC.

Yea I realized that once I got home, and planned on doing so. Not to worried about it, the one in the middle has the most growth so far, a growth area under all inoculation points

Question for you as well, I know smell plays a great roll in determining if your jars are contaminated. Many say they smell just a mushroom-y aroma, being that I've never been around any at all, any way to describe a similar scent?

I know they do I'm a reallllly picky eater normally so downing them anyway is going to be a challenge in itself, that being said I steer clear from a lot of foods, mushrooms are normally one of them.

It could have some bacteria in it but hard to tell. I'm concerned that the bottoms may not colonize on your tall jars.

Actually the only two that havent are the one I'm concerned about and the slow one to the immediate left, the others are I'd say 70-80% because they haven't really shrunk much yet, it's just that one area. Can't tell if it's actually inside or if it's just the jar, it has ridges from a design on the outside, so it could be a shadow? Not to sure really.

Littler tree if it is bacteria will it change color? IYO would you keep and fruit it still ? I'm still not sure if it is or not, gana leave the jars alone a few more days then see what's happening.
Anyone else have opinions ?

The color could change or spread. Keep an eye on any strange growths or color changes. You'll know when you birth them if you wanna fruit them by the smell. Definitely don't toss it yet. It could be nothing of worry. If possible though I would get another round started.

Okay one more update before fruiting should begin.
*update*
Here are my jars, all look to be about 80-90% done
Thoughts, comments, concerns?

Am I seeing knots or am I just crazy? Trying to keep my eye on anything suspicious

Okay so I'm glad it's looking good.
Are the jars with the round small balls the start of knots? I'm not sure what to make of them.

I'm no expert but a lot of my jars look just like yours atm with the puffballs, I'm quite sure they're the start of knots as 3 of my jars have grown a baby shroom or two of the areas that look as such. An experienced growers input would be appreciated.

And if they start pinning in the jars it's still good to dunk and roll, just not when they are matures fruits right?

With knots/pins do I still leave cake to consolidate or do I just dive into dunk and roll right away?

If you start getting a "lot" of pins it's probably already colonized and consolidated the middle unless it's a contam issue. It doesn't hurt to leave a couple pins in there but if it's busting out telling you it's time to fruit then listen to it otherwise give ti the full 7 days.

One jar was taken out and placed in FC, here is my setup

Two more will be following in the next day or two. Lots of pins, very earthy smell, no odd coloring.

you should turn off the fans, with a sgfc, ambient air-flow is perfect, you can put them on like one minute after misting, is ok but not more

I work for 6-8 hours out of that day so I can't fanwith Los, mist then. I got the fans hoping it would increase FAE When I can't be there.

do you have an hygrometer?
I don't use a sgfc but they say fan and mist two time a day is good enough. the fan is overkill with all the holes of the fc and will dry your cake and perlite

I do but not one I can calibrate but it seems humidity is high I don't have the fans on all day or anything, I'll just keep them off until fruiting begins and see how it plays out. Thank you!

Re-arranged my cake to add 2 more cakes to the fruiting chamber.
My FC is a traditional SGFC 1-4" holes drilled on all six sides. I also have 3.5-4 on perlite on the bottom.
I discovered a fat pin on the bottom of the cake which is new not one that was previously pinned invitro. The rest of my cake has no new pins.
The strain is Puerto Rican, known to be notoriously fussy fruiters.
My cakes were all dunked/cold shocked and rolled. Humidity has been reading at 85-90 at most, but I know my hygrometer is most likely inaccurate. I have been misting/fanning once an hour. I work nights so I am gone between 6-8 hours.( which is why I'm misting fanning every hour while I'm here.) At night humidity drops to around 70. Temp is constant between 75-77 f.
Does everything sound okay?

Misting every hour sounds like a little much to me, that might lead to the "protective parent" problem I have been reading about. Sometimes with too much care the cakes will not pin, they just want some independence if that makes sense! I don't think you can ever give too much FAE, so do that as you wish. Other then that, its sounding good!

I wasn't misting that often before but the cake slightly started bruising so I decided to increase the misting. Hmmm maybe I was misting a little to close causing water droplets? Not sure.

**update**
The first cake now has at least 9 new pins since yesterday. It is still very bruised though and I'm not totally sure but I think the biggest pin/shroom might be opening it's cap? Or it might just be how they look once they get bigger? Not to sure. Lots of pics.
New cakes have been placed in terrarium. As of yesterday after a 20 hour dunk then roll.

Littletree & shroomiedoo where are you? I need your trusted advice, lol. Any other thoughts/comments welcomed!

Let them grow 
You will know when they open! They suddenly become flat. There's no rush so if you do not get it the instant that it opens its not a big deal!
I love baby shrooms

Mutants for sure, if they were pinning in the jars the first few to come out are gonna be funky. Also make sure the cakes are not sitting in a puddle of water that has formed on the aluminum, I had that problem and it gave me some crazy shrooms!

Hey guys I also have some funny looking PE with Dark I wanna say greenish caps. Someone told me they look like bruising because they are aborting and the caps would probably continue to get darker. I haven't seen pictures like these online. Have you all seen things like this?

Well I have my 1st harvest! Nothing to impressive, my flush is uneven still many on this cake, and new pins on both my other cakes. For sure had mutants-a-plenty BUT I'm still proud
I got 18.7 g off this harvest. Big thanks to everyone who gave me advice and helped me! You all rock here!

Another cakes first flush

So you see my problem only a few regular sized shrooms I've gotten from 4 different cakes. Anyone have any idea to what's going on?
Misting heavily 4x a day, fanning every 2 hrs.
Cakes are dunked before consecutive flushes.
Temp has been constant 75-77f
My hygro. Says humidity is between 70-80 but I know that means 80-90 with mine.
If anyone could shed some light id appreciate it.

Well I ate an eighth dry, it went something like this:
Did with a friend and a relative my first Time really tripping, they are somewhat experienced. Started off with body buzz for everyone, joking laughing. I saw breathing beginning to happen after about 30 minutes. My boyfriend was asleep, we woke him up and he was grumpy I decided to lay down with him. This was about an hour and a half in, that's when it really hit. I closed my eyes and saw very vivid visuals and at some points saw the room exactly as it was as if my eyes were opened. I was scared to wake him up as my trip started getting more intense I started bugging a little trying not to move but feeling as if I was walking around the room, while I just layed there in my own thoughts. I remember my closet and walls morphing together and beautiful gems started falling out of a merry go round of colors outlined in gold. Then I closed my eyes and saw a honey comb like pattern with eyes everywhere staring at me. Shadows danced, my boyfriend woke up I told him I was tripping hard, we went in the shower together and I watched the droplets hit my skin and evaporate and blend together all at once. I was deffinatly in my peak. After that I went to the garage to smoke a cig and check on my friend and family member, they were tripping hard too. Seeing faces in the grill of my car, mile long hallways etc, I layed back down in awe at the Colors and patterns then my reality was completely gone. I was in a different linear dimension of shapes and colors. Deffinatly had ego loss. It was just AMAZING.
