Cubensis on straight coffee
    #21207087 - 01/31/15 02:23 PM (9 years, 11 months ago)

Sorry for the poor quality pics, I'll get some better ones shortly.

EDIT: My goal is to investigate why coir and coffee aren't compatible. Most of us know, if only empirically, that coffee in coir is a fantastic way to trich out a tub. This has always puzzled me because both coffee and coir are inherently contam resistant on their own. So, for step one, I'm going to do this small grow on straight coffee with intentionally awful sanitary practices to show that cubes perform well on coffee and contams are imo even less likely than on CVG.

I had a couple PMs about how I wind up with unused spawn, why I didn't just mix it in. I'm growing out microtubs (2qt gladware) of a number of different strains from a Texas MS I've been working on since last November. I'm using identical amounts of spawn and sub for each strain so I can compare performance. Hence, I wind up with leftover spawn that I hate to just throw out, so I decided to play with this coffee idea.

So, here is my ridiculously unsterile wbs>straight coffee project.

I had a little leftover spawn that I forgot about, and later found fruiting.


I nuked some spent coffee to hydrate it and after it cooled, I broke up the aforementioned WBS and added another remnant that I'd fruited once, to give me about a 1:3 spawn:coffee rate.



It has been slow colonizing - this is day 15. The coffee was over-hydrated, which is probably part of that, but I also feel that the coffee is so nute-rich that the myc is in no hurry to colonize.



Updates to follow!

EDIT:

Day 25. Sub fully colonized by day 21. I let it consolidate and cased with coir/peat/verm on day 26.



Day 29:


Day 30:


Day 31:


Cut the one at the 11 o'clock position so it didn't spore up the place:


Probably dry out to .6 gram:

nice srirachi!

for me coffee doesn't trich out with coir as much as it does for some folks. but it depends on how your using it. if you let it sit wet for a day it will give you some big problems. i dry it out until its powder dry right after i pick up the used grounds from the coffee shop. i layt it out flat on a tarp and run high power fans on it, while also turning it over every hour or so, to ensure it dries completely. or if you use it immediately your usually ok. i may have had 1 tub out of 20 of them trich out on the last few batches of coffee i did. that may be one too many for some folks. but i don't normally have the issues others have with coffee. i use the old 1 quart coffee/ 1 quart verm/ 1 brick coir ratios that largedose used in his old grow thread.

if you max out your spawn ratio like a 1:1 or a 1.5:1 ratio of substrate to spawn it colonizes very quickly within a 2-2.5 day period. that will increase your chances if your having issues with coffee.
