need advice please
    #21315435 - 02/22/15 10:34 PM (9 years, 10 months ago)

ok this is my first time grow and I did a lot of research on this forum before I even started like a month or 2 of reading...

I started out with pf tek and had no luck getting my cakes to pin, might be because I used a crappy source for a vendor for my spores. now with that being said I switched my pf cakes and crumbled to bulk with horse manure, cor , gypsum, and verm. I have a Martha setup with portable green house. im still struggling to get pins. my bulk sub. is producing mushies but not like I thought they would. im not getting a large amount of flushes. I used 2 plastic bowls for my first 2 and got 4 rectangle dishes for the other ones and used wbs for spawn.the wbs is colonizing still. im getting like 6  or 7 mushies per bowl. on my second flush and so far one bowl has 2 pins growing and other has like 5 or 6. any positive advice I would love you forever????

Ok, here's a nickel's worth of free advice (I expect to collect on that love, PM me for details).  Get a camera, take some good photos of the entire setup and post them so the pros on this board can analyze things.  Someone will spot something or other.  Do I make you randy?  Do I?

:whathesaid:

Pinset is also genetic so sometimes you can do everything you can do and still get a crappy pinset.

Judging by your reg. date though I would assume there are plenty of things we can correct.

Crumbling cakes that were already in fruiting to bulk will produce poor results. Don't blame the vendor for the set up. Believe it or not but if it's a sponsor they normally sell good shit.

Ya my first order was from a non vender that a friend suggested to me and very poor chioce  I can think of 101 reasons why I shouldn't of ordered from that vender. But I am producing pinns so I don't mean to down play the vender my bad on that..... Since then I've got involved with a sponsor from here an I can say there is a huge difference in just the look after injecting the spores syringes and watching the myc grow. Just seems much healthier but maybe its my imagination.  And on the first ones I did crumble of cakes. The second selection I'm using wbs. And seems like there are twice as much or maybe more of the pinns going......

Use a liner. You will get more pins.

Order different spores if you're so sure that your syringe that holds millions of different genetics is the problem.

try getting more fresh air exchange, you should see your casing layer dry up some every few hours or so

Beyond what Gyo said i don't have much to add other than your spore syringe is bad only if you contam constantly. the fruiting potential is a crapshoot but most cube varieties are well domesticated. for fruiting cubes poor FAE is likely your culprit for lack of pinset. That evaporation.

In the least dickish way way possible. you haven't read enough :p

:whathesaid:

Thank you. You don't have a bad syringe, you have bad genetics, try again with the same syringe.

I have GT that spawns either 30 gram monsters that dry down to an eighth or a bunch of little mushrooms. I'd personally rather have the little ones, more yield.

I don't know guys I got a transkei syringe once that I tried every way in the world to get a good fruiting culture from. I did a few different ms grows off of it looking for something promising to clone and it was pitiful every time. Maybe I just suck :shrug: :lol:

Your vendor probably blows chunks and prints any POS he sees.
