Grow log: MS KSSS Popcorn to Coir & Verm (Extreme Dryness Recovery)
#22040317 - 08/04/15 12:08 AM (8 years, 5 months ago) |

First grow in some years. So from the top...
Culture Preparation First, using less than sterile procedures, Nine baby food jars were poured and inoculated with Three drops each of spore solution from a syringe. While they were germinating, petri plates arrived. Using better (slightly) sterile procedure, large wedges were cut from Five uncontaminated baby food jars and transfered to Three plates each. The transfers were monitored for the speed in which they took to the new plates and Three were chosen. The remaining fully-colonized agar in the baby food jars chosen was sectioned in to small chunks for the transfers to grain. Agar to Popcorn After a 24hr gypsum wash soak, the popcorn was simmered for approximately 20mins, then strained, shaken, and spread on paper towels. The popcorn was then patted dry and loaded into Six quart jars and One pint jar. The agar chunks were transferred to Two quart jars per baby food jar. The pint jar was inoculated with One and One Quarter cc of the same solution used to start the baby food jars. Unfortunately, Two of the quart jars were lost due to inadequate GE filtration (Bandaid over Postal Tyvek). This left Four available to spawn.
Popcorn To Popcorn The One pint that was inoculated with the spore syringe was transferred today Ten pints on the same day of the first spawn.  I've Got A Lovely Bunch...
 ...Standing In A Row.
 Panorama Less Than Three Days Later


 Recovering From Shake Moving Right Along Bulk Preparation Approximately One and One Third bricks of coco coir was then hydrated in a bucket. Once fully hydrated, Two and One Half quarts of vermiculite and Two additional cups of water were mixed in to reach field capacity. The mixture was loaded in to a contractor bag then place in a pot of water to boil. The bag was boiled until the temperature reached 145F and the heat was shut off. Temperature continued to rise, staying within the target range until the bag was removed. The pasteurized substrate was spread out, while still in the bag, to cool. Spawning to Bulk Once the substrate had cooled to room temperature, a liner was placed in an unmodified tote and half of the substrate was placed in the tote. The Four quarts of spawn were shaken on top and then covered with the remaining substrate. The spawned substrate was then mixed by hand and the top was replaced.  Immediately After Spawn and Three Days Later
 Days 5, 6, 7, 9
 Day 11 and Day 12
Fruiting Once the bulk substrate had reached 100% colonization and consolidated (accidentally) for Two days, Two and Three Eighth inch holes were cut dierctly under the latches on the short sides of the tote. The holes were then lightly stuffed with polyfill that had been fluffed, folded, then rolled to resemble swiss cake rolls. One inch holes were also drilled at approximately 3.5 inches from the bottom and approximately 3 inches from the end on each of the long sides for a total of Four substrate level holes. These holes were stuffed with polyfill that had been rolled tightly in to cigar shaped pieces that were then layed in a cross shape and pushed through the holes. A small fan was facing the wall next to the tub.  Day 1 (Day 14), 3, 5, 7
 Day 8, 9, 11, 12
 Day 13, 15, 16, 18
 Day 19, 20, 21, 23
 Day 24, 25, 26, 27
 Day 30, 31, 32, 33
Updates to come as the grow progresses...

Thank you kindly, Steve. It's amazing how things turn out when you mix a bit of intelligence with a pinch of maturity, don't you think? Documenting the grow might just turn out as satisfying, if not more, than the fruits at the end...
Ok, that's straight B.S. but it should be fun enough.

Alright... 4 days after the g2g and they already need shaking. Things are moving along nicely. At this rate, another tub will be ready to spawn on Monday or Tuesday. If things keep coming together like this, there will be 6 monos going, all staggered about a week apart.

Nice.
There is another way to prepare popcorn. You pour the raw papcorn into a pressure cooker, cook at 15 psi for an hour, immediately--after pressure is down--drain, rinse to get any remaining starch water off the grain,shake in a collander til all loose water is out, load into jars and pressure cook again for an hour at 15 psi. This way the grain is more throughly hydrated.

You need to add water before you PC. But if you do it works. I have done it with popcorn myself and more recently i did it with oats. Water, grain, PC 15-20 min (not an hour) strain and your ready to jar up.

A few reasons actually. I have been doing cased rye grain for 10-ish years. The store that used to carry rye year round closed so I had to find something else to use as spawn. I visited these forums for the first time since I learned my casing mix from here and saw some monotub setups. I had been off doing my own thing for years and come back to see just how outdated my methods were. I was still using an TiT... At any rate, after narrowing it down to wbs or popcorn I weighed the price difference vs. my own laziness and decided on the popcorn. It is easy to uniformly hydrate, and there are no floaters to skim. It will do until the fall/winter when the feed stores have rye grain again.

I have a popcorn grow going right now. It is a readily available grain, and very clean, the moisture content should always be ~14% since much outside of that and it will not pop. Photos of it always look good as its so clean and has good contrast. It shakes very easily and doesn't stick, its like a jar of marbles. The larger and less starchy grain seems to let air circulate around the jar better with no stalling.
In saying that I usually use other grains and only did this as I found an really old bag of popcorn in my cupboard which was left open and had taken on moisture and was not popping. Its more expensive than the other grains I get, but in some places I expect its cheaper, especially if you factor in having to possibly travel to get the other grains.
Some like it for GLC as it shakes so well and myc falls off easier and it does not take on too much moisture like other grains can.

I hadn't considered the ease of making glc with popcorn before. I'll certainly have to remember that for my spawn bags a little later on. It will probably be easier than g2g in my tiny SAB. I'm guessing all I'd have to do is pc a jar of water, squirt some in to the grain jar, shake, then aspirate...

So it is spawn +11 today and I'm starting to wonder if all my peeking has slowed down colonization. There is much less condensation on the walls of the tub than there has been since it was spawned. Anybody think wax paper or bubble wrap might help? Also, I have yet to drill any holes in the tub. Could this be hampering the formation of knots? I'm probably just getting antsy and need to relax, but I would like to check in to make sure...

A faux casing is not going to help at all if you have not introduced fruiting conditions. That section I can see in the pic is fully colonized, I would fruit or case if the whole tub looks like that. I dislike bubble wrap or wax paper. If you want a killer pinset and plan on creating a microclimate to do that then use a proper casing and have an advantage with a good pinning platform as well. Otherwise just dial it in really good and fruit.

I couldn't get a good pic but there are a few spots where you can see primordia pushing up through the top layer of mycelium and the whole thing is knotting up nicely. I've got 5qts ready to spawn another on Thursday. Good times are right around the corner for me.

Yeah... it is a bit dry. Having slight issues getting things dialed in just right. I've been misting pretty heavily the last two days so we'll see.

Add more polyfill to the top holes, not sure how your bottom ones look but they should be pretty tight.

I think pasty was spot on with the tip to kill the fan. Apparently last time I left the room my foot pulled the cord and had the fan pointed directly at one of my top holes. I've been misting heavily to recover. The tub is holding humidity pretty well otherwise...

Ok, so... The fan is off and the misting continues... The substrate seems to yellow every time I mist, but I'm guessing that is just because of the dryness. I hope that the bout of dehydration doesn't slow down the tub too much or ruin it. I have an event in a couple weeks I was hoping to have enough for myself +1 to get down on.

The yellowing of the sub is not a good sign, it's already bacterial. The sub will have a tough time trying to fruit, as it is spending most of its energy fighting off the contaminated area. You'll still get mushies, definitely enough for a few good trips.

The yellowing is not from bacteria, its just stressed from drying out. Yield will be diminished but it should still produce.

That was the hole the fan got pointed straight at... the other side looks fine. It's a good thing I'm not looking for too much volume from this particular mono. I figure I'll grab some tissue to clone from one of these fat mutants and hopefully I'll have a decent cluster come in that I can clone from as well. I have 8 58qt totes in the mail that I want to run experiments on the mutant culture in. See if I can't figure out what triggers the abnormal growth... should be fun.

I've never worked with this variety before but I'm guessing that chunky bastard near the top isn't done yet as the cap hasn't started lifting from it's bulbous stem. Most of the fruits I'm seeing are quite small and I'm guessing that is from the excess drying spell it went through. Should I pick it clean already and dunk it or give it some more time to try to recover?

Did you mist the tub already? The extreme drying of the sub surface has made it impossible for pins to mature. You should have been done harvesting your first flush by day 28.

Extremely dry in there.
I had that same variation of KSSS:

They change color when they're done IME. From that dark brown to a light brown.
I would mist over the course of the next few days to restablish water content and tighten my top polyfill up.

Re-stuffed my top holes 5 days ago,and I have been misting until there are small pools of water 2-3 times a day. The drying was pretty extreme as a few hours after each misting the water is completely absorbed.
The drying seems too extreme for the misting to rectify which is why I was considering plucking all of what is there and dunking it. It seems what it needs is for me to babysit it and add water as soon as it is absorbed, and I don't have time for that. If you think it can be recovered with the heavy misting, I'll keep that going and see. I'm not too worried about it as I spawned another tub yesterday.
And on a semi-related note, it was very satisfying to punt kick the fan responsible for this across the room...

You can dunk or mist , I wouldn't pluck any of those. the reason why I say mist is because the sub is dry but it should still have a fair bit of moisture in there seeing as it pushed out almost nothing. It's just really dry. Covering the surface with a good mist should be enough to rectify the dryness and hopefully stimulate the pins continued growth.

The problem you have OP is you killed the pin surface. There is no where for it to pin, all the myc on top is borderline dead. You might almost benefit from a scratch but its kinda a coin flip. It might really help, or it might push it over the edge. Thats sad cause it looked pretty healthy before it got dried to hell.

Yeah. Sometimes if its just a little and conditions are fixed quickly the colony can take it back. But if it gets really far gone its pretty much trich food.

Well shit... I guess I'll keep misting what hasn't died yet and try scratching that bad corner. If that doesn't help, should I cut that patch of substrate out so what's left has a chance?
It is sad that it happened, but I think I've gotten what I wanted out of it already; a couple of clones and enough for me and my lady to party once. I'm gonna case the one I spawned yesterday with 50/50+ and the fan has been exiled, so this won't happen again.
I'm gonna keep documenting this one though for posterity. Thanks for the info.

Good to stay positive for right now I'd say just leave the sub as is. You might get something, you might not. But its really unimportant.
Seems you have at least learned something from this, that's more than many people get from a bad experience. I guarantee that in a year you will look back on this and think that it was positive. In fact you have discovered important aspects of your fruiting environment and believe me that can take time. I had poor results from a dozen tubs before I found out the fan was messing me up.
So kudos to you, them clones should be a fun time at any rate and will probably be worth more to you in the long run.

I keep waiting for that top right corner to go green, but so far it is still just chilling. I'll be pulling all the fruits on Wednesday and if it hasn't gone green by then I'm gonna dunk it and see what else it might do...

I saw one go from a speck to the largest in the tub in 4 days, so I know what you mean. The problem lies in the fact that the event the tub was for is Wednesday.
As far as I understand it, if I scour it clean, dunk it, and return it to fruiting conditions it will essentially reset the sub minus whatever nutes were spent on putting out what I took.
I hope that the ones that are ready will be enough because I'd really rather not screw up the log, but if not... well, this tub had one purpose from the start so no big loss. I have another tub 8 days in to colonization, 12 quarts of spawn at ~50%, 15 blank dishes, 23 empty quarts, and 4 empty totes. That is to say, I'm really unconcerned with ruining this one to have a good time.
Thanks for the suggestion none the less. Here's to hoping I can follow it...

Not sure why I was worried. I pulled the mature ones this morning for my party and took my clone plates. Gonna have to bring in another head on it too.
 I think that will do it for 2 people
 This fucker was 52g... Cloned!

Well I'm glad I didn't do anything drastic... I just pulled 459.9g wet from the tub, bringing the total to ~755g. I should at least hit the 1oz/qt mark so I am more than pleased...

Those are waaaay over ready brotha, they will most likely be less potent by weight 'cause you're letting them overmature quite a bit when they flare up that much.

I disagree. They ain't looking fuzzy or soft yet. Might be just right. Most of the weight at the end is water and that just dehydrates off. So they don't really lose potency by weight if you dry them. If you eat fresh then that's different.
Given that tubs beginnings its nice to see it still put ouy some food for ya

IME with that form of KSSS mutation when they begin to open up they drop spores and as they keep flaring up like that they start to overmature a bit.
Mine never looked fuzzy or soft, always rock hard except the caps which were flimsy and showed both the same spotting, color changing and rip from rapid growth as his does.
I thought part of the point of harvesting at veil tear/tearing is to restrict water being taken on after. So a 3" mushroom with a veil tearing that finally gets picked with the gills flaring and at 5" would not have 2" of psychedellic components.
Am I correct in that assumption or what am I missing?

What your missing is that extra water weight just dries off anyway. So if a 10 gram wet fruit at the time of the veil tearing dries down to 1 gram dry, then that is not going to change if it was allowed to put on another gram of water weight. It will still weigh a gram when it comes out of the dehydrator. But it will matter if you're eating them fresh because that water weight is still there.

No doubt. And given that my next tub triched out (dirty spawn from my first round of grain ), I'm glad this one didn't keel over on me before my last camping trip of the year.
I am planning on planting the sub with trich in the yard and casing it with jiffy mix so it won't be a total loss but that definitely won't fruit in time...

...and another 622g today puts me at 1377g wet. Not bad for my first bulk. Gonna grab me some more clones from these fatass clusters and call it a day... I love this hobby.

Alright, so older pins are swelling, new pins popping up all over... Looks like a nice second flush is on the way. New pics coming tomorrow.

Still pumping out monsters. I love this variety... although this sub looks about done.

Had a few more pop up over night but everything else is fuzzing back up. Might be time to go in the yard.

Thanks a bunch. After 5 clones and ~6oz dry from 4qts, I would certainly label this one a success.

Well I didn't chuck it like I had planned because none of my spawn was ready yet. I left it for a trip to N.Georgia and came back to another ~80g wet which I immediately picked and munched down on. Then two days later I go in to check on the tubs I have colonizing and find this.
 This poor, whooped-up sub just won't quit... So I'm just gonna let it fruit itself to death. It is starting to get cold here anyway so it would likely die in the ground. This way, I still get yummies from it until it finally buys the farm.

Just finished drying the last bit that came up. It weighed in at 32.4g so that puts this tub at closer to 7.5oz so far. I'm hoping for just a little bit more so I can say this grow clocked in at 2oz/qt...
