Just a few pics of my grow, and a few questions
    #21770715 - 06/06/15 02:32 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

Hey all, second post. So, this is my first try, I did 12 jars Pftek, and had 6 make it, and 2 that became contamed but I cut off the bad part(losing quite a bit of good mycelium, but better safe than sorry) and dunked in H2O2, one of which was the only one that's had finished fruits so far.

I've got 5 more started (all I had enough brown rice for when I decided to make more), 4 jars of LC(Need to test each one for contams, haven't had the chance yet), and 4 grain jars I decided to try my LC on(birdseed)

Yesterday I finally had enough produced from my 4 chunks of the bad cake to be 1.56 grams dry, so I went on my first journey with them. It was fairly good, wished I'd waited for more, but I'm getting off topic.

So, first off, here's one of my good cakes with quite a few little buddies growing on one side, wish I'd have rolled it in verm so it'd pin better, but I'll do it on the next dunk(I wanted to compare rolled vs non-rolled), and rotating the cakes as pins form seems to work fairly well, just not as easy as letting them sit covered in verm.


Second pic is of the chunks from the contamed cake, with (they've been in there a week and a half, no sign of contams returning, and they're currently the only ones I've harvested. I started them off in a separate container for a week first just in case so my other cakes wouldn't be harmed if there was still a problem)
You can see the cake from the first pic up at the top.


Here's one I dunked and rolled a couple days ago, there are some small pins and quite a bit of perlite because it fell over while I was moving the desk they're on.


Here's a pic of the whole lot


And here's a pic of my shotgun FC, sitting on the 4 grain jars I decided to attempt. If these work out I've got pint size jars for next time, but didn't want to waste a large amount of grain if they failed.



And now for my 2 questions:
I read a recommendation on another guide about packing some tighter, and some looser, so you could stagger your crop. Did I pack the jars too tight, and is that why some of my jars got contamed? I don't know if it didn't all get hot enough, or just took too long to finish and something got through, but it seems like the ones I had tight are the ones that didn't make it. 1 is iffy, it seems to have stalled; the rest died except for the 2 I saved. Is it most likely because they were too tight I failed?
Here's the stalled jar


If you look at the first pic, those mushrooms are very thick stemmed and small capped. Is it possible the vendor accidentally sent me PE? It kinda looks like it to me. I got a sampler pack, with: Plantasia Mystery, Treasure coast, Star Gazers, and I can't remember what the other one is or find the plastic baggie that marked it. But it was only used for the 5 new jars, and the LC, so it's one of the other 3.
I should have marked which strain was in each jar... lol.
