Moving up in the world. From pf tek to grains!
    #21128528 - 01/16/15 10:02 AM (10 years, 3 days ago)

Hey people! So i have been doing pf tek the last few months and more, trying out and reading about different ways of making lc's, agar plates and just my basic sterile techniques. :strokebeard:

Now however i feel it is due time for me to up my game! :rockon:
So i got a pressure cooker.

Then i got some premade agar mix and poured some plates, and dropped a few drops of PE spores on 4 plates.

Made 24 or so pint jars with rye grains and inoculated with Penis envy spores i got from one of our sponsors. :thumbup:


Waited until most were 50% or more colonized then i shook them all but one. The last one i used to fill up with sterile water, about 250ml.
This took some time since i only have 10ml syringes :grin:
Made up a lot of syringes of that mycelium infused water.

Thanks to Agar and Blackdust, blackdust for bumping that post. I would have never found it otherwise!
AGAR'S GRAIN LC

Then my new jars came, and i knocked up 24 quart jars with more penis envy!  :dancer:

Made a monotub. Gonna get some more plastic tubs and make a few more later next week.


Now just waiting! :raisemyglass:


Will update this post as soon as anything progresses if anyone is interested! :threadmonitor:

UPDATE! Totally forgot to update last weeks progress.
Anyways, i spawned all of my 1 pint jars to a few tubs without holes, and 1 normal monotub.

The other plastic tubs i felt were too small to even make a minimono out of, so will let them colonize and throw into my FC.
Will let the normal monotub do as is suggested with polyfill ofc.

Would like to hear from anyone with experience if they are looking ok, still do consider picture quality, taken with a shitty lightning and phone.

Monotub with casing layer (PE MS)


Small plastic tubs without holes, just for the FC when ready to fruit.






PF TEK jars just waiting. Figured i might as well keep those going in case my grain jars/monotubs go wrong.



New 1 pint jars with PE MS. Knocked them up.. 4 days ago? Or so.


And the quarts..


Cakes fruiting in my FC




Took me some time to get that FC dialed in, but i feel it is finally operational.

GOOD DAYS/EVENINGS SHROOMERY.  :raisemyglass:

Nice. On the first picture did you mean top layer instead of casing layer?

Nah when it was about 100% colonized i took the rest of my CVG mix and threw over it. I think i got that from FrankHorrigan. :crazy:

No, fruit it. You ideally don't want the casing to colonize at all, but with CVG it still will most of the time. When casing with CVG you want to fruit immediately after casing.

Oh and yeah figured i'd post a picture of my grain bag. I've been wanting to do bags instead of jars, but i just couldnt wrap my head around g2g with the bags, and tyvek sleeve filters for them.

So i thought fuck it. Prepared a few quarts of grains, took a normal plastic bag for foodstuffz and one 1 pint colonized jar into my SAB.

Threw in the grains, then threw in about half of the colonized grains, poked a pretty big hole and threw micropore tape over it, then just took some fishing line and closed the bag at the top.

Now it's pretty much all colonized after a shake.
All in all, my opinion so far? What the hell do you need those silly spawn bags for, if this works just fine. 1000 (yes 1000) of these bags for like 100dkk. That's like 13 euro.

Growth is clean.

Stuff the holes tight and then loosen them gradually,

I think you have a little too much FAE in there.
