Day 40- My tub is blob city. I see dozens of tiny freckled blobs growing in clusters, and only 4 mushroom pins across the tub. They seem to be growing pretty slow. Do blobs just stay really small? The pins also seem to be growing on the slow side...honestly I just want this project to be over with.

Day 41- Sure I have pictures of the great blob fest! Feast your eyes on these slow growing blob colonies:
 I suppose casing would have been the best practice here...just waiting for second flush I suppose.

Day 41- Pinning finally took off today with more and more mushrooms starting to appear in lieu of blobs. Honestly, as a first time encountee with penis envy blob I am very curious to scientifically test them. Beyond that it is much more surprising to me that when I used a penis envy ms syringe on PF tek (grow log found HERE) that it acted as normally as any other cube. Admittedly the potency higher than the b+ grown along side it, but the pinsets and shape of fruit bodies was mostly consistent with other cubes than the classic pictures of dick shapes penis envy found widespread across this forum. Based on this evidence I was assuming that a MS spore syringe of Penis Envy from the same supplier would perform similarly when used with WBS and spawned to bulk. To my finding, the Monotub has performed exactly as described by the veteran cultivators on this forum. Blobs are everywhere in this uncased Penis Envy montub grow. Beyond that, the pins that have formed and developed to decent size have indeed broken their veils early and look like the dick shapes penis envy spread across this forum, it is simply astonishing to me the effect the technique has played. Obviously I might be over stretching things as the inoculant in both trials is a ms spore syringe, two different ones at that, but why do my PF TEK penis envy fruits look so much more like regular cubes and why do the blobs only happen in bulk?
I am beyond excited to test blobs for potency, but I ask, at what point are the blobs done growing? When the pins they formed with mature? Please help me understand...more pictures when the abundance of pins amidst countless blobs becomes more evident.

Day 42- Things are simply going crazy!!! More and more pins everytime I check....blob city still, but check this out!

Finally feeling a bit of relief! The anxiety of waiting for this thing to happen was tough...its taken longer to get an edible fruit from the bulk than the PF tek...but I cant worry about that. Thanks so much for all the support shoomerites.

Your observation of pf cake pe and bulk pe got me thinking. Perhaps blobs are the result of an abundance of water avaibility? Bulk substrates are used because of there ability to hold alot of water while pf cakes need to be manually waterd to induce evaporation.. if you're up to it, use 10-15% less water in your next tub and post the results.

Hey first post! I just made an account today cause im doing the same thing I have been a long time lurker and have done penis envy pf tek in the past, now trying my luck with bulk, Im using 3 quarts of wbs with a lil verm and gypsum in them, just noced them up with Golden Teachers to test waters, their incubating at 80 degrees now. If I see any colonization ill noc up the rest (9 jars), I really wanna try rye grain tho, the wbs I had was soaked, simmered and pc', the new wbs I soaked last night was a bit starchy im wondering if thats okay.
Has your tub boomed already? Im planning on spawning to coco coir/verm/compost manure from cows, and mayby put some pickling lime or gypsum, dunno if itll help. Or should I avoid the compost?

Day 43- Things are just super exciting right now....more and more pins every time I look. Many are still hard to see, but many of you will be able to see the vast difference from yesterday to today. Enjoy this picture update of these little dick shaped wonders.
 I really really want to touch the blobs...but I know better than that. They look like little birds eggs.

Thanks so much for the support. There is no doubt in my head that the positive vibes coming from you and the other awesome members of this forum are a huge influence on the performance [success] of this project.

NumeroEno said: That time between when it starts knotting and when the first pins show up is magical. Over the next couple days you start seeing one or two pins, then more every day.
You have indeed proved to be correct. At first I was worried to see just two small pins, but now the first two guys are getting quite massive, and there are just more and more pins all the time. I can easily count 40 small fruits growing. Of course there are blobs everywhere (I want to touch them so bad!!! ) the growing time of these mushrooms seems rather long. My Pf Tek fruits mature in about 6-7 days, these pins are going on 8 and look less than half mature (the two very large ones, but I don't know...its my first time). Still wowing over the difference in behavior and physical traits from of Tek to bulk grow penis envy, but I must admit I'm very very excited to have the dicks here in the flesh. I am over the moon about testing this strange magic...and when that special moment comes when at last I get to touch the blobs! One two pictures today..,tried to get as much of the tub In as possible...this 66qt thing really is quite large.
  Can't help it...I think I'm in love with these two pins....

Day 45- The Monotub is a wonderland of little penis envy mushrooms. It's interesting how some of them have caramel coloring and others are just white. Also it is strange how many of them arch over and point their caps back at the substrate. They are are slow growing but the two biggest ones are getting to be a thick as rolls of quarters. I imagine they will have a good deal of mass when finally they reach time for harvest, but as of yet the area under the cap remains smooth. Lots and lots of pins now, mostly appearing in pairs...some show up solo, and a few patches of three. Thanks for putting up with this real time log! My first tub today:

Day 46- The others dare starting to size up compared to the two super stars. Obviously whenever someone makes a Monotub, they hope for a full canopy of shrooms across their tub. Honestly, I'm very very happy with my first ever Monotubs pinset. I a, happy that the fruits are spread fairly evenly across the substrate's surface, in lieu of just popping up along the edges like I've seen in many picture examples across this forum. I feel like my tub is setting itself up to have a ,on stro's second flush, can't wait to see that.
When can I pick these mushrooms? I know a lot of people say to wait until they look like they have warts under the cap....I'm just anxious....the caps folded up today...take a look in the pics today and let me know how much longer these look like they have to you before time to pick:

Day 47- It's really awesome to see how the tub "fills up" as the pins reach a decent size. ITa gone from a pretty lacking looking flush to being a flush I'm extremely proud of and excited to sample. These will be the first pwnis envy I e tried aside from the PF Tek grow I did that had extremely varying results in the shape of the fruit body....I'm excited to sink into these extremely fat little mushrooms. I know the rumour is they are pretty dense, but obviously it is the potency that drives us to try pwnis envy.
The blobs are not getting larger. Also as the pins started appearing in mass quantity (still more showing up all the time) the blobs stopped popping up. The ones that were already there, they got very slightly larger, but seem pretty stagnant now. I antocate this flush ,auguring by end of day Sunday, but there's really just no telling.
I've been struggling with decoding how I'm going to go about preparing the tub for the second flush. I am leaning towards flabbergasted"s tip of just "misting like hell" and leaving it be. Let me know if there is a better practice...
Now for the porn.....look at all these little dicks....
