My first mono is a go - 3rd Flush Fattie!
#21965161 - 07/19/15 01:58 PM (8 years, 6 months ago) |
|
|
I decided to wait till my WBS colonizes to do the huge mono, so I did a smaller one. 10 PF cakes spawned to 3 qts coir, 1 qt hpoo, 3 quarts Verm, with some gypsum, bat guano, and worm casings (all pasteurized of course).
I used a cheese grater and really liked the results (thanks GreenRabbit for that idea).


And it goes on the shelf! Now the waiting game.

Good luck on the grow man!! The see through lid is a great idea too, no need to open it up and expose it to possible contams.
I've never done a full-size mono tub before, so I was wondering how the GE works with a tub that size. Would the imperfect seal on the lid provide enough GE throughout the spawning phase? I've always covered my mini tubs with foil and poked pin-size holes, then covered with micropore tape. Not sure if it was completely necessary tho, a lot of the older teks I used have outdated info.

Thanks! I'll definitely keep you updated! I really liked the way the cheese greater worked for the cakes and instantly could see and feel how much better it will be for inoculation points than crumbling was.
All the tubs I've seen Pasty do he doesn't put anything in place for GE, and I've read a few posts that suggested the non-airtight seal of the lid is good enough. Which, now looking back I think putting small holes with tight polyfil for my minitrays was probably overkill and I think introduced too much FAE- causing them to fruit early.
I decided to try to follow the pros on this one. Though I was a little drunk and one sides holes are a little larger than the other side's. Hopefully this won't be too much of a problem.

I also birthed a cake to dunk that had 2 invitro pins and tons of knots today. It just looked to pretty to grate up!

Sounds like a cool idea with the cheese grater, what size holes did you use in your tubs? I was thinking of using a small tomato paste can to melt holes in my upcoming monotub.

About Alan inch and a half (mostly, lol). I think I know what kind of can you are talking about and that sounds like about the right size hole to me.

Yeah, it's the smallest can I could find in the supermarket lol. Also, it's a lot easier than messing around with a hole saw to make the right size hole and potentially cracking the bin in the process.

I am debating spawning cakes to a tray with a 50/50 coir mix to directly compare results with normal cakes. I haven't decided if I am going to do 3 cakes normal, 3 cakes spawned to coir in a tray with my Chitwan, or KSSS yet. Have you done it this way before OP? I hope your grow is a massive success!

I haven't. I did spawn some to trays of hpoo/verm. Worked out fairly well but I think I fruited too early. One of my cakes actually has a much better ponset

I may just go ahead and try Pasty's mini mono tek, I will only have 6 cakes to spawn though so we will see how it goes! Agreed, sweet recipe I bet it is a huge nutrition boost!

Looking good man.
I want to fruit a couple cakes successfully then move onto these bulk or mono methods. Looks like you can get some good yields.

Monos can yield 2-3X as much as a normal cake grow. Definitely worth it IMO.

Was that plastic covering over the tub during colonization or did you just have the lid on it?

PC'ing 12 more PF jars to make another tub with. Just got my hands on agar too so I'll be cloning soon. Looks like my tub will be ready to fruit tomorrow (4 days!). Still no sign of growth on my WBS jars but I have a suspicion my PC isn't big enough for quarts (the lid sat wonky). I'll be buying a new PC soon, I'm thinking an AA93. I also picked up oysters and enokis today so I'll try to clone those too.

Thanks you guys! There's still a bunch of tiny pins and knots too- but some of those guys aren't waiting around!
I'm starting to think it could use a bit more FAE- no sign of fuzzy feet but there are a couple of guys searching for more air along the left side and near the top left corner.

I can get isolates off of 4 plates.. Maybe less. Figured he could have used the others for something else. Im not trying to knock anyone though..

Yeah there were a couple of characteristics in this tub I want to work on. Couple clusters, couple fatties- but mainly a strange twin fruit that nobbed upwards a lot then pinned two off of the side- thought it looked cool and different so I'm going to try to isolate it. Plus agar work just seems so cool to me.
Plus I have other cultures goin I want to transfer to determine sterility (oysters enoki)

SPraying my SAB down on the inside with bleach, then letting it sit for about 15 minutes did wonders, 0% contam rate! Good luck.

Yeah I definitely got the homelessness being overcome by addiction thing. There also seemed to be the moment of clarity and an overcoming of it. Definitely these people have done hallucinogens though. The whole time I was captivated by how on target they were with the visuals

Awesome make sure you get them cracker dry before storing. I store mine in a mason jar with a silica gel packet, so the dry fruits can't pull moisture from air in the jar and get re-absorbed into the tissue, this way they stay potent for a loong time. And good luck on the second flush!!

Thanks you guys! And I actually bought a bulk pack of dried seaweed- each container has a desiccant so I'm going to use those!
And I'm in the midst of making my second mono! Thread to come soon.

I may just go ahead and try Pasty's mini mono tek, I will only have 6 cakes to spawn though so we will see how it goes! Agreed, sweet recipe I bet it is a huge nutrition boost!
6 cakes is perfect for a minimono. Make the sub around 3"-4" thick. I've spawned 6 cakes to a 66 qt monotub before but had to spread it pretty thin (1.5") I stopped fruiting cakes because of this method but have recently moved onto grain and agar so I converted all my PF jars into agar jars.

How do you go about agar PF jars? I've still got plenty of brf and since I started agar instead of innoculating directly I'd love to do my first transfer. Plus I need a bigger PC to effectively do grain.
Edit: oh, nvm if you mean you're using the jars as your plates, I misread at first.

Small PC is ideal for agar.
Cover the 4 holes of PF jars with electrical tape. Drill a 1/4" hole in the center instead. Stuff tightly with polyfill for contam barrier. Cut extra poly off top and bottom of lid. Done.
Make Agar. Pour. Sterilize. Good to go after PC cools.

Cool deal. I've got a bunch of agar going now, with cubes, oysters, and enoki (don't expect much from those tiny bastards). I was just wondering if I could do PFTEK with agar transfers. Don't really see how I could. Mine are all PastyPlates. But will do that with the 1/2 pints when I move solely to grain

Thinner subs are prone to losing moisture content more quickly and drying up, so a light casing will solve this issue. The tub I'm spawning now is about 2 inches, and I'll be casing it to ensure the moisture stays at the surface, to allow for good pin formation.

you dont have to do anything, just do the bucket tek and dont use all the cvg, keep it in the bucket and apply before fruiting.
the sub will eat it, but you'll get a nice pinset in before that. you could leave the tub a few days after 100% to get it more in a fruiting than veg. state.
peat colonizes slower and depending on the depth of it you can fruit right away or let colonize to 30%. dont do that with coir.

Excellent work.. I've been contemplating pasty plates myself, but it seems agar is out of my reach right now... I think I'm going with MS to (3) Qt. Jars and g2g from there.. Hopefully, some aggression shows and I can get some good genetics to clone.. I'll still have some solution left so I can dabble in a lil agar work.. Maybe just do a couple transfers, looking for rizo and aggression ...

That's what I would do, or prep more coir/verm when the tub is almost at 100%.
Quote:
RenegadeBlue said: Last question is if I use cvg as a casing what is to stop the colonized sub from just treating this as just more substrate and colonizing through it and taking forever to fruit?
Exactly, that's why cvg is not the ideal casing mix, although you will still get a nice pin set nonetheless.

RenegadeBlue said: And when would I introduce fruiting conditions? Think I read in Frank's casing tek (using verm and peat) that he fruits at 20 - 30% colonization of the casing layer. But if u did this while casing a sub with another sub which is nutritious wouldn't u just be asking for tons of contams?
Peat moss/verm is not nearly as nutritious as coir/verm, that's why it is highly recommended to use as a casing. I would follow Frank's tek and fruit it at 30%.

If you have a CVG casing you need to learn your culture.
CVG is a great casing and will be colonized, like all casings. I've seen cultures destroy Peat Moss PHed 0 nute casings by just being aggressive. If you have a culture that likes to eat the CVG casing fruit it for a day or two, then case.
Otherwise case immediately. Even in Franks' Jiffy Mix casing tek he says to let it colonize to 30%.
All casings can/will get colonized, learn your culture to prevent this.

Are you using a Still Air Box (SAB)? Also, inoculation technique is important. Where did your contams come from? Middle/bottom of the jar or up at the top?

I use SAB... I think my spawn was fine.. I made pt. jars (12) of lc with (2) different strains.. I made (6) well water and 6 with tap water.. As a lil experiment .. Well water around here performed slightly better, for those interested.. I let those go about 14 days in 80f .. Then knocked up 6 grain bags... And spawned to poo/verm using bucket tek, which I think is was killed the merry man...

Just sprinkle the casing mix over the surface evenly, do not try to pack it down, keep it light and airy. No need to break out the ruler!

if your culture is a slow fruiter or aggressive colonizer do them 1/2" or even a tad more, but anywhere between 0,25 - 0,75 would be OK IMO. prob try to just do a thin layer, hard to measure anyway!

Great thanks so much for the responses everyone. Very last thing is if I were to use a CVG casing and fruit my sub a couple days before applying how thick should the casing be? Probably pretty thin right? .25 or .5 inches? And if I ruit for a couple days then apply casing will this damage any existing pins or knots?
Evenly spread, 1/4" to 1/2".
Honestly, I don't really measure. The key to a great pinset is an even thumb. I used to use rulers lol.

Everything will work for everything guys.
There is no better or best way to do this. Cubensis grows itself, 95% of your flush is in the genetics. It's just up to us to keep it happy.
K.I.S.S. And don't over-read. Your fruits will tell you 100x more then any board poster can.
Why do you think we always ask for pics?

Haha awesome ok got it thanks again! And just so I undersand I guess the thought process behind fruiting immediately after applying a cvg casing is to give the substrate as much time to fruit as possible before the contams set in? Because when you are consolidating a bulk cvg sub you are supposed to tape up all the holes and prevent FAE until colonized to prevent contams. So I would imagine casing with cvg is just a race to fruit before contams eventually set in?
Thanks again and sorry for hogging the thread. It's just a wealth of knowledge around here.
Also, (and last question here promise b/c I'm off to bed) do u guys worry about patching the casing layer or do u just throw it down evenly and then let it go?
I really don't mind. As you said- there is a wealth of information and if I can fascilitate that in any way, including on my thread, I'm happy to do so.

mold spores wont germinate on coir, thats the beauty of it. they can however germinate on peat, that's why we lime peat to high ph so they no longer can.

So I would imagine casing with cvg is just a race to fruit before contams eventually set in?
The point of applying the casing in the first place is to create a microclimate at the surface level to encourage strong pin formation. When letting the mycelium colonize the casing, it is mostly to give the mycelium a chance to get a hold on the casing layer before the tub is put into fruiting conditions. But, it's optional IMO. Find what works best for you. And if your bulk sub was 100% colonized before applying the casing, there is really no need to worry about contams.

Patching the casing layer, after you see mycelium starting to poke through the surface already, is done to ensure an even pin set, so your fruits can all mature at the same time.

Final dry weight of first flush: 37 grams. Not bad, but I want to do better!

Nice, I've only done a few of these grows but I much prefer it to fruiting cakes. Way less work, and perlite is annoying.
Why did you make your bottom holes so small?

I guess not. Looks like you followed TranscendingLife's tek. Did you have any fuzzy feet?

Had a little bit on the first flush, took the top poly out of the holes and the last bunch of the flush lost the fuzziness completely

I always nuke the environment if I start seeing fuzzy feet. Note that I have PESA that has fuzzy feet no matter what I do. Sometimes it's just genetic.

By nuke it you mean you drop lots of fresh air?

Yup.
For instance, if I have a lot of fuzzy feet in my monotub I'll take the top off for a few minutes. You can almost watch the fuzzy feet recede. Then I'll close the top and loosen my top polyfill.
If it looks dry after this I'll give it a mist. The key is only a few minutes though, do it for a half hour and you'll come back to blue shrooms.
A less disastrous method is just removing the top polyfill for a while. They'll still turn blue but at a slower rate if you forget to put it back in.
Here are some blue shrooms when my cat pulled out my top polyfill while I was at work:

So if they get blue you mean they are in any way bad?, i used to think they get blue due direct mist/water? I will try my first monotub im reading as much as i can

If they go blue it means they're drying out which means they need less FAE and more humidity

Seems growth is at about 1/4" an hour- which is honestly the slowest growth I've actually clocked. (Fastest was 1/2" in 1/2 an hour- and you bet your ass I sat there staring the entire 30 minutes).

Damn those got ready overnight! I misted the mono fairly heavily yesterday and then left poly in the top holes for an hour, before removing them before going to a party about 12 hours ago. So they got blasted by humidity, then fluctuated with tons of FAE overnight.

Forgot to take final pic and weight of the 2nd flush- got distracted.

Oh well. I'd guess it was around 26 grams- the fruits were more sparse but it produced some honkers.

Uh oh- looks like a small spot of trich before th 4th flush. Segregating... Could this mean my pasteurization was not thorough enough? Or could it just be starting to get spent?

After the third flush mycelium is pretty weak, the onset of contams is not uncommon . Some people don't get past two flushes but it's important to note here that sometimes a culture will put out all it can in the first or first and second flush and just won't support a third. Those are keepers in my book, faster turn around

Thanks Gyo- your insight is always appreciated. Looks like I'll still get a flush out of it, but I'm tossing it after the pins mature (it is only a tiny spot of trich). And I have a lot more going right now so I have no hard feelings (other than the original gasp of dread upon first seeing that green bastard).
