Journal to a noob's first (few) culting (yet to fruit)
    #22170496 - 08/31/15 06:32 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

As a noob, I've been writing in the getting started forum and even made the mistake of posting a cultivation related question in the Psychedelic Experience forum. But, as a noob, I would like to share what I have managed to do so far and, obviously, get opinions. Now, I have not photographed the entire process, but only now of day 21 in grain bag and day 1 in BRF cakes (PF Tek).

General procedure for rye berries spawn bag

General procedure

Got the spores.
Sterlized syringe.
Wiped with alcohol (to then be cussed by my teacher)
Massaged self-healing injection port
Inoculated into the middle (I know, I know)
Placed inside a closet... on a top shelf.
Waited for mycelium to show first signs of growth and mashed the bags well.
Waited for mycelium to show signs of growth again and mashed it the second time.
Mycelium at high colonization rates.


1 - Grain bags - What will happen next is still a bit of a mystery. My plans are to use at least two growing methods for this one. The one exemplified to me by the person who introduced me to cultivation, and a monotub. In this case, I would like to succeed to check different yields and how I can increase it if I so wish.





2 - The monotub is a 50 ltr container with a sealed lid. I will have a friend help me with the building, since he is the handyman. I will use ready, pre-pasteurized mushroom substrate at this stage.

3 - 2 grain bags will be distributed with 3lbs of fully colonized grain bags. One will have a smaller myscelia to substrate ratio than the other, also for control.

4 - With the cakes I will use the regular tutorial for the SFGC to learn more about the cycle and growth, and, who knows, get good results.

Now with the cakes it was a 3 part process for 10 jars. Mixtures are pretty much the same, so no difference there.

1st Part - After stelization (that one I got down), I tried the first inoculation (waiting for jars to completely cool off) but I found that two of the holes on the same jar simply would not open. I finally managed, but slammed the syringe. Still, squirted toward the glass on 4 sides.

2nd Part - Much better. Sterilized. Cool off. Inoculation.

3rd - Yeah, I forgot to place the micropore tape on top of the holes at sterilization. Still, same process as above.

I then PUT ANOTHER thin stripe of micropore tape on top of the now perforated holes.





Your input is much appreciated (including if you by chance spot contaminants or any unfavorable conditions).

Also, please let me know how the cakes (not even one day old) look for the start of the colonization stage.

Many thanks in advance!

In Hebrew, the words "wine" and "secret" hold the same numerologic value. When wine comes in, secrets spill out. Do you think the person who said that knew mushrooms? When mushrooms come in... Is there anything beyond a secret?
