1st grow log (Mexicube & Corumba Brazil)

Hey guys, this will be my first grow log which will have my experiments with Mexicube and Corumba Brazil strains. I'll be posting my results one after the other of the three strains. So far I'v been working with Mexicube and I must say I think they are an awesome strain. A hungry and fast colonizer. Im growing in a tropical environment and had some trouble with my temperatures being too high at first which gave me some contams early on and some stunted mycelium growth. After I got my temps right I have had some very fast growths. Good thing about the tropical environment is my humidity is always above 90%, should be a good thing when I get to the fruiting stages. Here is what has been going on up to today:
1st Batch 9/6 - inoculated 10 half pints with Mexicube (spore syringe hydrated for 15 hours) 9/10 - Dropped temp as I noticed a jar had black pin mold 9/11 - First jar has mycelium growth, two jars quarantined 9/12 - Another jar is showing growth, lost three jars to green forest mold 9/13 - Lost another jar to green mold 9/14 - A new jar has mycelium growth 9/17 - A new jar is showing slight mycelium growth 9/19 - Three jars are growing very good. 70% colonized 9/20 - one jar is 50% colonized, another jar is about 15% 9/22 - Three jars are at 100% colonized

2nd Batch 9/15 - Inoculated 6 new jars of Mexicube (this time I let my spore syringe hydrate for a week before inoculation. The syringe liquid had mycelium or live culture floating around by that time) 9/17 - All six jars are showing growth, faster colonization than the first batch of 10. 9/20 - Colonization is going quickly in all six jars. 9/22 - All jars are getting close to 60%-70% colonized.

Jars look good. Be sure to let them consolidate for 7 days after they reach full colonization and before you birth. Very important IMO. You'll have mushies soon. Good job

Today I got five Roatan Honduras spore syringes made. A still air box was used along with the usual sterile instruments.
 Im going to let the syringes hydrate for about a week while some of the mexicube jars are consolidating.

Built the fruiting area today. I birthed three Mexicube cakes also and have them dunked at the moment. I'll be moving them to one of the fruiting chambers tonight after the 12 hour dunking period has passed. I'll be birthing 7 more Mexicube cakes next Monday as they are consolidating now. Either tonight or tomorrow i'll be starting up some of the Roatan Honduras jars.

Three Mexicube cakes made it to their new home last night. They receive three mistings and four fannings per day, along with 12/12 lighting. I'll be inoculating four Roatan Honduras jars tonight.

Here are the progress of two of the Mexicubes that are in the fruiting chamber. They have been in fruiting conditions (12 hour light, 4-5 fannings and misting when needed) for four days. I think they'll start fruiting soon. How do they look to you so far?

Looking good!
From the pictures, that light looks a little warm. May I ask what color temperature it is?

Awesome! The lightbulb is a 6500K florescent. The aperture on my camera is making it look alot warmer.

Got my first pin yesterday (after 5 days in the SGFC). I increased my fanning to about 6-7 and now there are many pins on both cakes today. Super stoked! I have another five cakes to add to the fruiting chamber, but I think im going to wait till this first flush has passed to add them as my pinned cakes are on a different fanning/misting cycle then fresh birthed cakes.

Sorry but they actually look like they are suffering from a lack of FAE and are a bit dry due to the extra fanning. You should only fan after you mist and you should pull that SGFC out of the closet so it can operate properly.

The closet door is actually made of fabric, so it gets as much fresh air in there as my room. I have brought up my misting amount now so they should get more moisture. Thanks alot!

There should be 1 foot of clearance on all sides tho otherwise the chamber won't function properly. Ideally is should be in the middle of the room Do as you must, I do understand about life situations and the allure of the "closet grow"

I didn't know the SGFC needed a foot clearance on all sides, that makes total sense though. Thanks, I'v moved that chamber to my room for now. What were the signs that FAE were low with the pins? So i know what to look for.
