First Time Grow (Golden Teacher, B+ Cubensis)
#22037362 - 08/03/15 12:00 PM (8 years, 5 months ago) |
|
|
So I just received two syringes, one Golden Teacher, the other a B+ Cubensis strain. I plan on using the PF Tek method to cultivate these puppies. I don't have a pressure cooker, but I do have a pot with a tight lid. I plan to start with 5 jars each. I'm new at growing, and want to know if anybody has any advice for my first time. Should I only grow one strain first? Which one? Should I use a different method? Should I store my syringes in the refrigerator? Let me know if any of you have any tips and advice.

Also, I do not have 1/2 pint mason jars, but do have half pint glasses. Would it be worth it to go ahead and buy mason jars, or should i make an aluminum foil lid for the cup?

My advice is to get a large PC and learn to prep some grain jars. Bulk growing is a lot easier IMO. And spore syringes can be kept at room temp. Check out Frank's write-ups, it has all the info you need to get started on the right foot. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/17897163#17897163

1/2 pint wide mouth mason jars. Not the tall ones, the short and fat guys. The pint glasses have a much higher contam ratio.
I agree with bulk being easier, however, I think cakes are a good way to fuck everything up and not regret it as much.

great thing with pf cakes is you dont need a PC and materials are cheap. you can use a half pt glass just fine.
it all comes down to what you want out of this, if you know you're gonna do this "forever" go ahead andby a pc right away, if you wanna see what its all about just make some cakes. can always use those as spawn if you wanna see what monos are all about!

Went ahead and picked up an 8 qt pressure cooker and some mason jars. I want to make 3 cakes for the B+, and 3 for the Golden teacher. Do you recommend growing them at separate times? In separate terrariums? Should I start with more or less jars? I do not want to grow in bulk yet.
Also, I'm not sure if I have enough coarse verm for all the jars, but I have fine verm. Would using that for a couple jars work?

Fine verm is actually preferred.
Do them in the same terrarium, they won't have conflicting issues as they all like the same environment. We say a cube is a cube because they all grow the same (But have different effects IMO).

I've already watched and read many many videos and articles on PF Tek so no more links please! Thank you, though! But I was wondering if anyone had any unique advice to share? Any personal stories using different set-ups?

I would suggest doing a few jars every 2-3 days so you keep yourself busy and yield nice, and don't get that impatient

Will do! I'll sterilize my jars tonight and I'll inoculate them in the morning.

Are you saying 16-24 hours after sterilization? I've always done almost exactly twelve, and never had mycelium not start forming.

I don't even wait 12 sometimes, if I put my jars out and sleep for six or seven hours I can usually inoculate right then 
Does that mean you should tell someone on their first grow to go as minimal as possible? No. Why? 'Cause we want maximum success. Spores die at 122f and mycelium at 106f. I know that, do you think the OP does?
The goal when giving advice is to K.I.S.S. Keep It Stupid Simple. That's why RR's videos are the very basic in cultivation, because it teaches KISS before people get into bulk and gypsum.
Just informing you for future reference, when someone is on their first grow we will most likely try to get them to do things as by-the-book as possible.

MY ADVISE IS KEEP IT SIMPLE, SGFC BUILT TO SPEC , NO HYGROMETER, A GROW LOG WITH EVERY DETAIL INCLUDED!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry for yelling didnt' catch the caps lock lol, put your jars somehwere you are not going to need to touch them that much to check them because you are going to want to check them alot so a shelf is great

Sterilizing in pressure cooker right now! The rocker doesn't seem to be doing anything no matter how hot it gets, but I'm keeping it at a nice simmer and I'll do for 60-90 minutes. I have 6 jars in now.

Did you set on high heat with water just touching the bottoms of the jar? Did you allow the PC to blow steam for a straight minute before putting the rocker on? Did you check if the PC goes to 15psi or just 12?

The PC does not have a gauge I was surprised, myself. I put on high heat with the water barely touching the bottoms of the jars, with lids and aluminum foil separating the jars from the bottom of the pc

You want that rocker to be shaking like crazy to be sure it's up to pressure, before turning it down to medium heat. THEN start your timer.

That's not good. Make sure the vent inside your PC isn't blocked or anything, and read the instruction manual if you still have it.

Sorry about the pics, guys. I'll be sure to put some up next time. But I'm preparing to take the jars out of the pressure cooker. I'm putting 3 more in later, so I will troubleshoot with that PC later. It seemed to work fine besides the rocker not going. You could hear water boiling and coming down to a simmer. Pressure cookers seem a bit unnecessary to me, tbh. Esepcially for PF Tek. Over-complicated. But what do I know

For grains, it's completely necessary, unless you plan on growing some mold for you and your friends to eat . I always PC my WBS jars at 15psi for 90 minutes and have never had an issue.

Alright guys! I inoculated 5 jars of B+ cubensis with between 1/2cc and 1cc for each jar. Some have a tad more in than others, as I have a friend who lives by 1/2cc for 1/2pt jars, but I hear 1cc is perfect, so I decided to experiment a tiny bit. Not great for my first time, but I have a few jars worth to spare, so I figured I'd have some fun. One of the jars got exposed to a little bit of outside air, however. 1/4 of the top was revealed for about a second. Is this a huge deal? Anyway, I took the jars and placed them in the corner of my room in an open box facing opposite the wall. It is by a window but does not recieve direct light from it.

Was the top on? If so, it's cool. The reason for the dry verm layer is to make it irrelevant the quality of air you have coming in as the dry verm will catch any possible contams.
Take the foil off.

1 cc per jar. The less spores the slower the colonization.
Are you inoculating before sterilization?

Btw, for the sterilization, I wait until the water starts boiling, then I turn it down to a simmer for 60-90 minutes. Do you recommend this method?

Don't worry about humidity, temp is perfect, read the cakes 
Make sure your perlite is wet and 4-5" and your holes are 1/4" spaced every 2" apart.

Do it and pin it. It would save a lot of reiteration.

What temperature do you usually use for colonization? I know there are videos explaining what temperature to use but sometimes people have unique advice. I'd like to get as much info as possible )

65-80 is typical, but room temp is the general advise

Room temp for sure. Thoughts on ambient light/dark storage?

Hey everyone. So I checked up on my jars today, and it seems that the only colonization visible is a small spot on the golden teacher. Can someone verify if this is indeed colonization taking place and not something I don't want.
 I'm sorry you can't really tell from the picture. For some reason the dimensions of the picture are kind of warped

Is it just me or does that jar not look like the right mixture? It does look like mycelium but the cake itself looks like it could have been mixed better. What grade vermiculite did you use?

It didn't look too coarse, but it wan't fine. I ground my own BRF, which maybe could've been done a little better

Still no growth in any other jars besides the one. It's about 40-50% colonized. Should I be worried about the others? Could it maybe be poorly prepared substrate? Or am I just being too impatient. If so, why only growth in the one jar?

Give it 14 days and then worry. Sometimes they take that long to start or they're growing inside and will poke out.

Yeah what I'm thinking is that I didn't grind the brown rice enough. I used a bleder and blended the living shit out of it but it couldn't get it to a flour no matter how long I put it in for, but I got it to 75% flour and 25% small rice chunks. I'm thinking about ordering some BRF and gypsum online. I still have one more jars worth of B+ spores and about 4 or 5 more golden teachers.

Well, after a week n a half, I finally have a tiny bit of growth in the rest of the golden teachers The B+ still has shown no signs of colonization, but at this point, fuck em. I'm going to keep them on the shelf for another week and if nothing happens I'll have to toss them so I can reuse their jars. Anyway, I'll take some pics later. Idek if the mycellium will show up on camera. The growth is really minimal in the jars, and fairly sporadic

Yeah most likely. The teachers are growing nicely, though. The first one is at like 95%, and the rest are between 20-60%

I'm reading through this thread as I plan to use the same PF tek. I wonder why the TS stopped updating this thread?
Also, what spores would anyone recommend? GT or B+? How many syringes do I need?
