So it's been a little while...

After about 10 years i started growing some shrooms again and i have a couple of questions:
-What's new? any particular 'must read' items you guys recommend i check out?
-I have a bunch of 10yo cubensis spore prints. is there any point in trying any of them?
-i am going to try growing some Pan. cyan using PF method with cow manure. how does manure sterilise without a PC? would repeatedly cooking the jars 3 times in 24 hour intervals do it? (i am below sea level, so that helps)

Read this for fruiting cakes.
10 year old prints are probably not viable. You could try em but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Steaming for 90 min will be fine for brf and manure. Its grains that we need to be using pressure. Being below sea level will only be in your favor. Its higher elevations where water boils at a lower temp that will be tricky for steaming.
Welcome back to the hobby

if you get a syringe cap and a thick red rubber band, you can make up a spore syringe and try re hydrating the spores. Just put the cap on the syringe and put the rubber band over the top and onto the plunger so it pushes it down and leave it like that for 24 hours.
Other then that try and trade for a new print, and good luck

thanks 
that's good to hear about the manure, that will save me a lot of time.  i am currently going trough a process of sterilising rye by steaming for 3 hours every 24 hours 3 times to see if i can do it.
i have my fruiting chamber set up already. i think it was once called the 'poor man's pod' :P it's your basic plastic tub + geolite + bubbly pump setup. though later today i should be receiving a thermostat for a heat mat i have for a minor upgrade.

FYI a PMP will perform terrible for pans and only barely adequate for cubes. No one uses them these days because the FAE is so terrible in them.
Also an 8 hour steam is better for rye but if you do tyndalize I believe its far better to steam every 12-18 hours. 24 hours allows too many bacteria to germinate and it becomes harder to kill them all.

I've had 4 year old prints work so give yours a go, you might want to try them. You may be pleasantly surprised.

i never had any problems with the PMP and cubensis myself. what would you recommend for pans?

A SGFC would be good, read the link I gave you. It will make pans really happy. Also perhaps you don't really care either way but for many there is a big difference between getting a flush with cubes, and having healthy happy fruits with a high BE. Cubes have been known to fruit in trash cans and toilets, they can also fruit in a PMP. But its far from optimal.
Like I said its all about what you're happy with. If you feel your PMP is up to the task then have at it. But there are better options. You asked whats new. Well the SGFC is far from new but, it is recommended a lot for good reason.
Anyway good luck and keep us posted

i think i will use the pmp and additionally fan by hand to see if it makes a difference. if it does maybe ill ad a fan or something.
as for the pans, ill have to do some more research.

We do not fan for FAE, you would need to fan several times per hour......
Do not add a fan, build a proper fruiting chamber that provides the needed amount of FAE.

Fanning by hand is not FAE. Cubes require 3-6 air exchanges per hour. Unless you plan to fan that many times around the clock the extra fanning is not providing FAE. It may however dry the cakes out. Passive systems are better than manual or automatic. Hand fanning is meant to remove humide air and encourage evaporation. Too much is detremental.
If you really are dead set on making a PMP work for pans, look up posts by Blue Helix. He used a heavily modified PMP set up for his pan grows and they were indeed excellent. It only took him a few years to get it dialed in properly. But once he got it right it was Impressive.

are the pearlite and holes in the bottom necessary?
i think i remember seeing people grow pans with the substrate right in the bottom of the fruiting chamber itself, instead of a tray. could i do that and just add the holes on the sides and top?

Here is the crux of this whole thread. You asked:
Quote:
DaveyJones6911 said: -What's new? any particular 'must read' items you guys recommend i check out?
Well whats new is that we figured out that good FAE is a lot more important than we had been giving it credit for. Even for more CO2 tolerant species like cubes, good FAE improved pinset and yield. The best pan grows from a decade ago were and still are done in a greenhouse. But the SGFC is a big improvement over the PMP, one that will help your cube cakes shine as well. Its why I suggested it.
Pans have also been done in monotubs, usually modified for extra FAE beyond what you would configure for a cube set up. Monotubs are a bit newer as well as they came into use in 2005. Monotubs are meant for bulk grows tho, which is why I never mentioned it.
I bring it up because the 3 most common fruiting chambers today are monotubs, greenhouses, and SGFC. Very few people use a PMP anymore simply because they do not perform anywhere as well as those aforementioned chambers.
Anyway I can tell you want to use your PMP. Its understandable as you already have it and its what you know. But do me a favor, when your pans don't pin or your cubes end up lanky with fuzzy feet and small caps, don't make a new thread asking why. Just read this one again

meh i'm not married to the pmp, but i want to see what my options are.
so i have some more questions:
with the holes in the bottom, is there not a need for dripping tray?
and isn't it hard to keep the moisture level up? seems like the pearlite would dry out quickly.
is there a way to wick water from another container to the pearlite?
are there any alternatives to pearlite? could geolite work?
and what does this do to the humidity of the room the tub sits in? humidity is generally high here already.
a random THC induced idea: what about a living culture of sphagnum? i guess it would acidify the water too much huh?

Definitley don't mean to threadjack but would you want a bit extra FAE for PS. Mexicana too? I just spawned Ps. Mex to a monotub like litterally ten minutes ago, first time working with them past a plate

no worries, i also would like to know that. while we are at it, what about P. tampanensis? any advances in growing either of these for actual mushrooms instead of sclerotia?

The water will be held by the perlite, no need for a drip.
Depending on the RH the perlite can remain moist for up to six weeks. My area is super dry and my SGFC stays moist for 10 days.
Lots of things can work other than perlite. The hydroton or geolite in your PMP will work. Could use gravel if you had too.
It will not affect the RH of the room its in.

so how do you re-hydrate it when it dries out? mist with a spray bottle?
also how much light do pans really need? and why do they need it? surely they are not photosynthesising? i'm fairly handy with a soldering iron, how about an array of blue LEDs? or maybe even UV LEDs?

they derive energy from the light they have a circadian rhythm much like you and i so 12 on 12 off, blue led's is not what is meant by the blue spectrum, the spectrum is actually more white to our eyes, just a daylight bulb nothing fancy

i have the bright window, but i fear that will make any mushrooms grow sideways unless i darken the sides of the tub.
how much lux/lumen do i need?

ok so then the window light should be fine. i have some spots in my house that will work. failing that, i could use some of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cree-XP-G-XPG-R5-5w-Cool-White-6000-6500k-LED-Emitter-chip-With-20mm-star-Base-/221476572840?hash=item3391084ea8
so without the lamp there is the issue of not having the heat on top to create the drafts n stuff. what happens when the heat source is beneath the tub?

The lamps we use are simple, florcesent. CFLs work fine. They produce virtually no heat.
But what heat source are you talking about? What is your room temp that you need extra heat?
I think you are thinking too complicated man. Simple is good in this hobby~!

well i was looking at this guide: http://www.mushroomvideos.com/Terrarium-Tek
and it mentions that a lamp over the tub causes the air on top the heat up causing a pressure differential that causes upward drafts and sets the whole air circulation principle in motion.
(does that make sense btw? wouldn't the hot air tend to rise?)
the room i have the tub in is currently around 20C and i expect it to drop as low as 18C by day and even lower by night. i read that pans are more sensitive to temp so i am thinking of using an IR heat mat beneath the tub. this would basically reverse the air temperature situation.

No, don't use the heat mat even on the lower end your temps are perfect
SGFC is about as simple as it gets. Mist 3-5 times a day, fan after misting for a few seconds. Keep it elevated up at the corners (I use mason jars). 6500K CFL bulb in regular lamp fixture
If your cakes look dry, mist them.

yeah see that's what i loved about the PMP, i didn't have to do jack 5 times a day.
and isn't the SGFC supposed to not need fanning and misting?
also about the temps, this page: http://www.shroomery.org/8698/Panaeolus-cyanescens-growth-parameters shows much higher fruiting temps then that.
is this info outdated?

A pmp still requires misting and fanning of the cakes for optimal results.....
Quote:

No, they DO require misting/fanning....
We mist the cakes to replace lost moisture from evaporation, which happens to be a main pinning trigger.
We fan out the chamber after misting for a drop in humidity, to make room in the air for the water we just misted to evaporate...
You want constant evaporation at the surface of the substrate....

You will need to mist and fan your cubes. I wouldn't mist pans. If your worried about temps being too low for pans then heat the room not the chamber.

heating the room? lol you must not pay the bill at your house...
as for fruiting temp, i have an old document saying one thing, and a contemporary post saying something significantly different. so what is the correct temp?
and why would i fan cubes when they have a lower FAE requirement then pans, and i don't fan the pans?
and do i understand correctly that the one flaw of the PMP is the lack of FAE?

OMG YOUR WAY OVER THINKING THIS! pans will fruit in the 70's no problem and heating the chamber causes lots of problems, pmp's biggest problems are a lack of fae and a constantly high rh, myc likes some flucuation in rh, that info section is a general info section...it also says ..

Fanning is not FAE. Fanning is to start evaporation, which is why we do it only after misting. I wouldn't mist pans, so I wouldn't fan them either.

If you don't have one built yet they are also more costly to build than a SGFC. Like cron said a constantly saturated RH is not good. Tho the poor FAE alone is reason enough to me to not bother with one. . .
You seem pretty argumentative for someone who needs help. I will stop helping at this point. Cron, PF, he is all yours . . .

don't insult my intelligence by acting like i should do what i'm told without question. i am here to learn not to blindly follow orders.
uknow what, why am i even being nice about this?
i know a couple of trolls then i see them. especially when they are so obvious, and so obviously bad at it.
get lost kids, grown ups are talking.

Now anyone who doesn't put up with your argumentative style of learning is a troll, huh? I've NEVER heard that one before.

you are selling the shrooms for a profit? canada has free heating? i'm not sure what i'm supposed to get, but where i live the idea of heating the room 24/7 and when i am away is ridiculously expensive.

ok, that answers half my question. what exactly is the temperature range for fruiting pans?
Quote:
Fanning is not FAE. Fanning is to start evaporation, which is why we do it only after misting. I wouldn't mist pans, so I wouldn't fan them either.
ok got it, but then if humidity is high enough there is no need to mist and/or fan correct?

don't get all pissy because i don't blindly follow your orders mein fuhrer, i am simply trying to understand the how and why. and there is a difference between helping and telling people what to do. and i am not arguing anything, that's an honest and honestly simple question; is there an advantage of the SGFC besides the improved FAE?

You're only asking this so that you can find a way to cut corners. If you intended to use the SGFC you would just use it, but instead you're trying to find a way to modify the PMP, otherwise you wouldn't be asking that.
Also don't ever talk about selling here or you can see yourself out. Or cron or PF can see you out if you're feeling frisky.

get over yourself dude.
i am trying to understand, and i find it rather insulting and disappointing to find that such help has to come at the price of having to stroke your egos, only to be fed to the trolls when i fail to do so by blindly obeying the commands i am given.
also kind of ironic considering the context of these forums...
you guys need to re-examine your understanding of the words 'help' and 'learning'.

take a bottle or jar of moist anything and close it
the humidity will be high.
humidity is only one factor in mushroom growing, and an important one it is...
but humidity has no relation to c02. u can have high Rh and high co2. u can have high Rh and low co2.
that is the difference btw SGFC and PMP.

there you go again with the premise that i should simply do what i am told. and you think not doing it the 'approved' way is cutting corners?

I honestly don't know but you know what's not wrong with me? I know good advice when I see it and I don't have to ask questions that make it sound like the person advising me is wrong.
Can you really not imagine being tired of arguing the facts with people who just want to bring "elitism" and such into it? It's like trying to explain evolution to a fundie christian who's already set on not believing it.
Heating pads are bad, heating the room is good. PMPs are bad, SGFCs are good.
Things CAN be simple.

10 year old prints are probably not viable. You could try em but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Steaming for 90 min will be fine for brf and manure. Its grains that we need to be using pressure. Being below sea level will only be in your favor. Its higher elevations where water boils at a lower temp that will be tricky for steaming.
Welcome back to the hobby

Pastywhyte said: Fanning by hand is not FAE. Cubes require 3-6 air exchanges per hour. Unless you plan to fan that many times around the clock the extra fanning is not providing FAE. It may however dry the cakes out. Passive systems are better than manual or automatic. Hand fanning is meant to remove humide air and encourage evaporation. Too much is detremental.
If you really are dead set on making a PMP work for pans, look up posts by Blue Helix. He used a heavily modified PMP set up for his pan grows and they were indeed excellent. It only took him a few years to get it dialed in properly. But once he got it right it was Impressive.

DaveyJones6911 said: so hw did people grow pans before the SGFC came along?
Less adequately....
Here is the crux of this whole thread. You asked:
Quote:
DaveyJones6911 said: -What's new? any particular 'must read' items you guys recommend i check out?
Well whats new is that we figured out that good FAE is a lot more important than we had been giving it credit for. Even for more CO2 tolerant species like cubes, good FAE improved pinset and yield. The best pan grows from a decade ago were and still are done in a greenhouse. But the SGFC is a big improvement over the PMP, one that will help your cube cakes shine as well. Its why I suggested it.
Pans have also been done in monotubs, usually modified for extra FAE beyond what you would configure for a cube set up. Monotubs are a bit newer as well as they came into use in 2005. Monotubs are meant for bulk grows tho, which is why I never mentioned it.
I bring it up because the 3 most common fruiting chambers today are monotubs, greenhouses, and SGFC. Very few people use a PMP anymore simply because they do not perform anywhere as well as those aforementioned chambers.
Anyway I can tell you want to use your PMP. Its understandable as you already have it and its what you know. But do me a favor, when your pans don't pin or your cubes end up lanky with fuzzy feet and small caps, don't make a new thread asking why. Just read this one again

DaveyJones6911 said: meh i'm not married to the pmp, but i want to see what my options are.
so i have some more questions:
with the holes in the bottom, is there not a need for dripping tray?
and isn't it hard to keep the moisture level up? seems like the pearlite would dry out quickly.
is there a way to wick water from another container to the pearlite?
are there any alternatives to pearlite? could geolite work?
and what does this do to the humidity of the room the tub sits in? humidity is generally high here already.
a random THC induced idea: what about a living culture of sphagnum? i guess it would acidify the water too much huh?
The water will be held by the perlite, no need for a drip.
Depending on the RH the perlite can remain moist for up to six weeks. My area is super dry and my SGFC stays moist for 10 days.
Lots of things can work other than perlite. The hydroton or geolite in your PMP will work. Could use gravel if you had too.
It will not affect the RH of the room its in.

Pastywhyte said: You will need to mist and fan your cubes. I wouldn't mist pans. If your worried about temps being too low for pans then heat the room not the chamber.
Really? Show me the ego. The demands. The lack of explanation. Read my posts. READ.

MY fragile ego???
i think you homed in on the problem, but you have it ass backwards. you are taking my not following your advice to the letter way to personally.
like i said there are many possible reasons i might try alternative methods. and i don't need a reason to want to understand the method that i am advised to use.
and i already said i wasn't married to the PMP. i believe that's called redactio ad absurdum.
look I AM NOT SAYING YOU ARE WRONG ABOUT ANY OF THIS ok? so relax! i have my own reasons for wanting to experiment and they have nothing to do with you.

what does that have to do with trying to understand how the SGFC works? and how is that any different then saying 'do what your told or screw you'?
is it against the rules to want to experiment? i remember when i was here before such a thing was encouraged...

You said you wanted to get with the times and step up growing, now you're talking about experimenting over and over. We don't like to help with experiments because people who do good experiments already know why they're experimenting, and aren't just trying random stuff and calling it experimenting. I like the results of experiments, but almost nobody here likes to help engineer one for someone else.

It is encouraged. But I doubt you even understand what an experiment is. In fact I doubt you have enough understanding to set up an observation, in order to formulate a hypothesis, in order to run an experiment. Or by experiment do you mean shooting spores in a jar of brf and once colonized sticking it into a PMP? Cause that has been done. By many people. Its not an experiment. The results usually suck.
There is no ego other than yours. My posts in this thread are made with no other intent than to provide you with good information. Show me a single post I made where I demand you do what I say. I really don't care to be honest. At the end of the day you are gonna do what you want, and I am going to grow some nice mushrooms 
Anyway its late, I am gonna crash. Good luck OP, I really mean that

Davey the Shroomery is the Shroomery and no ranting and railing will change that. As cronicr suggested there are other forums which might suit your taste. Not criticizing, just suggesting. After all it's all about the shrooms right?

there cannot possibly be this many people this dumb and/or narcissistic in 1 thread together. statistics simply won't allow it.
seriously, the idea that you can be this oblivious to the fact that you prove every one of my points with every post is quite ridiculous.
clearly the only possibility is that i am being trolled.
i mean we all have seen other forums where adults converse in a mature and pleasant fashion. we all know the sharp contrast between that and what we see here.
obviously i am being trolled.
what, may i ask, are you hoping to achieve that isn't already achieved in every comment section of every youtube video ever uploaded?
and just to be clear: i would prefer to go back to the original topic, but you have made your intentions clear to boycott any attempt at doing so. so don't be blaming me for the drama, i wanted to talk about fruiting chambers.
which btw, nobody ever forced anyone to reply to anything so really there is no reason for anyone to feel rectally victimised.
now can we be done with silly initiation rituals and get back to talking about fruiting chambers?

-I have a bunch of 10yo cubensis spore prints. is there any point in trying any of them?
-i am going to try growing some Pan. cyan using PF method with cow manure. how does manure sterilise without a PC? would repeatedly cooking the jars 3 times in 24 hour intervals do it? (i am below sea level, so that helps)
i would check out pasty's agar tek, then the pf tek but modified to a 1:1:1:1 brf/verm/manure/water and once you have a clean colonized plate squirt your syringe in and suck up some myc and knock your jars up and fruit them in a sgfc, pmp's are not well suited for pans

OP just look at this. It's a simplistic explanation of a sgfc. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/remlinker.php?Cat=&Entry=149248&F_Board=2&Thread=20195542&Main=20195542
Also just search for pmp grows and sgfc grows. Especially from TCs. You'll see the difference in quality.

wow... just... wow...
so i checked out links posted and browsed around a bit and came to the inescapable conclusion that, these questions that perturb some of you so, are ones that no 2 people seem to be able to agree on the answer.
does it really hurt that much to simply admit you don't know?
anyways those of you who managed to respond like a reasonably high functioning mammal have been helpful despite these these crustaceans and their bandwagon.
so thanks.

I think we actually all agreed on everything said. You have like 3 TCs, 2 mods, and a bunch of other people all saying the same thing. I love the conflicted information bit though. That's my favorite one, right next to "I followed this youtube video".

if you mean the point about fanning and misting, yeah i get that. i was talking about the sgfc specifically though. also let's not forget the other half of the people who have yet to say anything on topic.
also i don't know why you guys think i am rejecting your precious SFGC, because i am not.
as it happens my plan is this:
i will use the pmp for some cubes to start with, because that's where i left off when i started and i know it works well enough to get me some shrooms. and since a single 6 cake grow in the pmp provided me with more mushrooms then i consume in a year last time, it should suffice.
to see if i can make it work in my conditions i will also make a SFGC and grow some cubes in that. whether or not i will keep it depends on my experience working with it vs my desire for more cubensis. the main reason i will build it is to see it in action and help me decide how to grow pans. when i decide on a method i think having messed around with both pmp and sgfc will be quite helpful.
once i have a harvest and something growing in the SGFC, just for the fun of it i am going to start fucking with the pmp. if the problem with it is a lack of FAE, and i know it is excessively humid, i don't see why i couldn't sacrifice some of that humidity in favour of fresh air and improve on the basic design. probably not much, but whatever.
just to be complete i guess i should mention i am also growing some P. azurescens spawn. i tried before with the wrong wood chips, buw not i have a shitload of beech chips and it's going quite well  also i have some LC experiments going, and at least the maple syrup i used to make it is turning out to be quite effective at growing 'something'. i should know what the 'something' is in a few days...
if anything here is hopeless it is a bunch of people who have forgotten hobbies are supposed to be fun.

I think what's fun is succeeding. And learning what happy subs/fruits look like. Personally I think a chamber for max fae helps teach us more. Because when you get used to it, and finally work on other chambers/working on their design, you know exactly what to look for. A sgfc makes it so you don't have to work on that, making it the cheapest, best chamber for noobs.
It's hard enough figuring out misting. It's much harder figuring out fae on top of that.

no, but i am running an experiment to see if i can get away with a large pot. i know odds are low, but you never know. i tried to sterilise some rye by steaming it 3 times in 18-24 hour intervals and after a couple of days of not seeing anything green i injected some Ps. cyanescens spores. i am seeing the first white speckles here and there now.
i know, i know... but as i am but 3-4 meters above sea level i felt i had to try. alternatively there is a place that sells pre sterilised bags of rye, but they are 25 euros per bag :S
in the mean time though i still have cow manure to experiment with. if am am going to grow pans i want to grow cubensis on shitcakes first and see what happens. the cow dung they sell here is all branded, and it doesn't say on the packaging if it has any additives so i guess ill have to test it out.

Tyndallization apparently works better if you do it in 12-16 hour intervals instead. An 8 hour straight steam would be even better if you had the time.

is it a problem if there are periodic interruptions as i poor in some more (boiled) water to compensate for evaporation?

No. That is fine. Don't let it run dry

no......8 hours of steaming was enough to call them clean , waiting 7 days is enough to call you paranoid
