Golden Teachers Not Pinning
    #21943138 - 07/14/15 05:51 PM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hey Fellow Trippers,

This is my first time posting on shroomery, despite using it as reference for years.

I have taken to trying to grow my own GT shrooms and need some help as after 2 weeks in the fruiting chamber i only have 1 baby shroom.

I followed the PFTEK for simple minds by fungifun.org and have had no problems so far. I inoculated on 3/6/15 and brought them out to indirect sunlight on the 22/6/15 once fully colonized. The PFTEK i used said to leave them in the jars until pins start to show but if they dont show go straight to fruiting. I removed the cakes from the glasses and placed in fruiting chamber on 2/7/15, i dunked and rolled 3 cakes (i found this technique from other teks) and just placed the rest straight on the wet perlite.

I am off work for a month so im able to keep a close eye on them and have been airing and spraying 6 times a day. I dont have holes in the box as my PFTEK didnt say to do that. It goes down to about 10 Celsius at night so i have the box sitting on water that is kept at 20 Celsius during the night and room temp would be 19-24 during the day.

My problem is only one cake has grown one mushroom, the others look healthy to my untrained eye (cakes have little sweat drops, small mycilium growth around dry verm etc and smells beautiful :grin: ) but nothing happening so any help on this matter or thoughts at all would be appreciated.

:rasta: Peace

Probably lack of fae or moisture. Are there any holes in your fruiting chamber? I can't see me from the picture.

HAHA..na id be worried if you were in the pics :smile:

No to the holes aswell.. the PFTEK i was using just said to put them in a bucket with a clear plastic sheet as a lid. As i have a few cakes i decided to use the bigger box.

What kind of fruiting chamber is that?? It looks like a tun with perlite floating in another tub with water.... ???

Build an SGFC and you'll solve your pinning problem.

yes that setup is fucked, you probably got high and mixed up an incubator with a fruiting chamber.

you need to drill 1/4" size holes 2" apart in a grid pattern on all 6 sides and get it out of the water.

I remember seeing the tek I think you got your FC idea from. Just use a SGFC make sure it's raised off the ground a couple inches also

Thanks for the help..

Yes the set up im using is basically the incubator for growing the mycilium, the reason i decided to use it at night is because it gets so cold and were in a typical ozzy house with no heating. (also partially because i was fucking baked..thanks spacechildo)

Im happy to build an SGFC if thats the problem but will i have troubles with the cold nights 10-17 celcius?

it will be way better in cold temps than without any fresh air and floating in warm water.

Take your time on the SGFC. The sides can crack when drilling the holes.

will do.

Also, it seems having a tall box seems best. Should i go and buy a tall one or can i simply put holes in the one im using?

That size should be fine, as long as it's big enough for the cakes, FAE, and 3" of perlite

Well i have them set up in the SGFC now. Looks much better, also noticed 3 new small mushrooms starting on the bottom of the cakes when changing over :grin:

Ive been thinking about the temperature problem:

If i buy a compact fluorescent light (15 watts) i could give them 12hours of that light during the night so they get a bit of heat off it then keep them dark during the day when its warmer..what do you think? will this work?

....or just get a cheap-o little space heater and an "outlet thermostat switch" to plug the heater into.  Works like a charm.
