First grow - 2nd attempt
    #21744114 - 05/31/15 08:10 AM (8 years, 7 months ago)

First off, let me thank all of you guys for making a fantastic area for knowledge exchange between enthusiasts.

Living in Europe, there was some issues getting Mason jars like the ones you have in the US. I ended up getting Galej glasses from IKEA and using alu-foil as the top. It was also quite hard to find vermiculite, but we found it online eventually. Appreciate what you have in Amazon guys, it just makes stuff like this way easier. Amazon doesnt even ship to where I live. I sterilized using a normal big kettle. No pressure cooker yet.

My "Mason" jars:


First attempt
I made the cakes as normal, 2:1:1 with verm, BRF and water. Followed the instructional videos online. Made sure the verm was not wetter that what it was supposed to be. No issues. Had gotten some prints online, and made the syringes myself. My error though, was that I immediately transferred the spore-water over to the cakes. I did not let the spores sit in the syringes for any more than like 10 minutes. I also used way to much water.

Anyway, nothing happens in my cakes. No mycelium growth after 5-6 weeks. And no contamination either. Temps was in the right area. This tells me to things; 1) I've done something wrong, and 2) The process was clean enough that no contam started growing.

Second attempt
Finished up the 2nd attempt today. The process was basically the same as the last time, but I made the syringes a few days earlier. And made sure there was a lot of spores in the syringe. I let the syringes sit in my refrigerator for a few days. I'm also using a different strain (Thai Pink Buffalo) and print this time, eliminating the last print used as a source for errors.

Verm, BRF and water.


On the 3rd pic you see the small holes in the alu foil. Its secured with a layer of dry verm. In the syringe pic you see how many spores was left in the syringe. I think maybe I overdid it. And finally, on the last pic, you see all of them in their new warm home.

Wish me better luck this time!

When you say in their warm home what temp do you call warm?

I relize your on a different unit of measure there. 21-23 degrees celsius should be optimal IMHO...

And welcome to the Shroomery.

What part of Europe?

I'm aming for around 27-30 degrees in the inoculation period. Around 80-86 farenheit for the first period. Then lowering the temps then they move into the shotgun box. Around 75f for that period (24C). 

Thanks for the welcome! Been luring for a couple of months. The northern parts of Europe.

Most people are incubating closer to 24 degrees now days.. With good results...
You might want to try lowering incubattion temps to increase opproyunity for success,IMO. Just keep trying.

Great, thanks for letting me know. Will update when, and if I see anything happening. Keeping the temps somewhere around 23C (75F).

nice! :hatsoff:

you should get holes in the bottom and top of your chamber tho!
and about 2x the amount of perlite and then elevate the chamber off the floor so air can come up through the bottom.

if you're having problems getting all the stuff you need just PM me or ask here and I'll help :super:

That's a nice big fruit on the last pic, good job!! Make sure to keep misting the cakes, they look a bit dry.

did you elevate your chamber? it seems like the FAE is suffering.
4 jars, one in each corner is all you need!

Thanks for the feedback. The chamber is elevated for fae. The shroomites are not currently in my possession, but I think he is misting as required.

More pics! I am very happy and proud :smile:

Harvest day of 2nd flush for our PF cakes. This flush outperformed the first flush, due to better growing conditions. Needless to say, I am proud.
