Blue Meanie, Maza, Amazon. My First Grow Log *Pics*
    #22211381 - 09/09/15 09:40 AM (8 years, 4 months ago)

So I have decided that I want to start a grow log on here for the mushies that AFOAF happens to be growing. It started off with 2 SGFC's with a separate strain in each of the chambers. But things looked a little cramped.



This had been how it had been growing for a few years now but it began to seem like it could be done a little easier while still doing BRF style tek. AFOAF admits that it was changed partially because it needed to look as good as they felt. The light that was set up was only coming in from the side due to the lack of a clear lid. So they went out and bought a different storage container for cultivation.



The process of making this one took way longer because it is twice the size of the others. After a long time of drilling holes and rehydrating perlite (while cleaning up the mess left behind) the new SGFC was finally complete.



This SGFC will be used with recently inoculated Blue Meanie, Amazon, and Maza strain cubes.



Recently a spore print was attempted for the first time too and a spore syringe was made out of said print.



After taking the spore print of the biggest mushroom that grew this time (Mazatapec) on aluminum foil that had be cleaned well, sterile water was poured into an extra half pint jar laying around and after the print dried it was placed on top of the jar face down inside the jar like you would put the lid on it and the lid was tightened around the foil. Looked like this.



Then it was shaken until all the spores had made their way into the sterile water which had been pre measured out for 50ccs or the equivalent of 5, 10 cc syringes. Wanted them dark or would have made 5 others with the print. Turned out like this..



The three jars inoculated with some of one of the syringes turned out pretty good so far. It has been since the 5th of September..



This is all for now but I will keep up with this thread and keep things posted for those who want to see how things turn out for whoever this is :wink:.  They have been busy with college but since it's their last semester they have an easy schedule that needs more time dedicated to the mushies. Any advice or tips on what all can be done or something that should be looked into would be greatly appreciated. They have thought about getting into agar to see how aggressive they could get the mushies to fruit.

UPDATE


As of September 15th 13 BRF Jars were inoculated with Homemade spore syringe of maza strain. The ones I am mentioning are on the right in the pic below. There are three rows of jars on this shelf. The ones that appear to be more colonized on the left are the blue meanie and amazon (theres a random creeper or two in there as well.) that were inoculated a few days before the Maza shown in the image after this one.



The three maza that were inoculated in the beginning of this log are doing great. A bit slow but the weather is changing here too so the rooms in the houses are getting to be a bit colder than normal. Nothing too bad though. Growth still persists. No contams present as of yet.

Yeah I see those all the time too, but I think it's rather a forum dedicated to help each other out when it comes to problems with cultivation. At least that's how I understood RogerRabbit's posting guidelines

This would be a better place for your log(no pun intended :lol:): Mushroom Grow Logs and Pictures

Ill keep it here unless someone decides it belongs elsewhere. Its more convenient since it's already here anyway. Hopefully things spice up soon. Shouldn't be too much longer. There getting WBS and all the materials for a mono or at least a bulk grow soon too. It's AFOAF though.:wink:

So the last pics I posted for the grow were the 15th. It is now the 23rd and I figured its time to post some more pics for everyone to see how its going. Don't want anyone to think I am teasing. Haha



As you can see things are progressing pretty nicely.All strains are coming along as expected (Blue Meanie, Amazon, Maza, and Creeper) I know it seems like a lot but I only have a few of each of the strains.

No complaints really but I would like to try smaller jars though. I have the taller wide mouth half pint jars and it seems to me that colonization times slow down as it gets toward the bottom of the jar. I always end up still seeing some of the vermiculite that seems a tinnny bit less colonized than the rest.

For example here are jars or maza that were inoculated the 5th of september, the bottoms of the jars seem like the mycelium is slowing down or having a bit of a harder time colonizing it.



To the right of the more colonized ones are the 13 Maza strains that were inoculated on the 15th.

The other three maza that were inoculated on the 5th are doing great too.




*Update 9/24*

I birthed all of the blue meanie because they had developed a decent amount of pins in vitro and were completely consolidated anyway. There are now 8 Blue meanie BRF cakes and one cake pan spawned with 2 blue meanie cakes, horse poo, and vermiculite sitting in the SGFC. All of them appear to be doing great. Pins have developed on the cake pan. It has been in the chamber since the 22nd of September.

I have not misted it at all but I did however mist the cakes that are beside of it which was planned to allow for small amounts of water to get onto the surface of the cake pan. I did not want to spray it directly to prevent stagnant water from becoming bacterial.

Here is a overview of the chamber from the right side.



And here is a view from the front of the chamber itself.



I got down a bit closer to the surface for this picture, not sure how great the quality will be but this is a picture of a few of the pins I see in the cake pan. They are doing pretty good in my opinion. I will place a few pics side by side here for you to see how the chamber is doing as a whole and individually for the cake pan.



I am anticipating some large mushrooms from the cakes I recently dunked because as time has gone by I have noticed that the pins that develop in vitro can be some of the larger ones that your cake grows if you allow them to stay on the cake during the dunking process. Has anyone else noticed this?

Yo can you get coir and gypsum easily at gardening centers or soil lots? And is starting trays or monos pretty easy? Thankyou and I love your grow man, I grew mazatapecs and albinos last year and currently have some Maza jars incubating in the closet!:stoned:

Oh Great Spirit, whose breath gives life to all the world, here me, I am small and weak, I need your strength and your wisdom, let me walk in beauty and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunsets you have painted, make my hands respect the things that you have created and taught my people, make me wise so that I may understand the things you have taught my people, let me learn the lessons you have hidden under every leaf and under every rock...
I seek strength not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy...myself, so that when my life fades, as does the distant horizon, let my spirit come to you, without shame...oh great spirit.

I ordered most of my stuff offline, however I know if you have a petco near you they carry coir. I just ordered mine off amazon for like 7 bucks for 3 bricks. Gypsum was what I was having trouble finding in stores so I had to buy that online as well. I am thinking you could find it at a tractor supply or maybe Lowes.

Thanks for the compliment for the grow! :rockon:  I will say the only thing I had trouble with was pasteurizing the poo I used for the tray. Other than that everything went pretty well. I am still in the process of doing my first mini mono. I have it built and you can check out my other log in my sig if you wanna see how far I am right now. I am going to try a few other methods for the mini mono as well. I have used WBS and would like to get the rye grains instead because from what I have read they are easy to handle.

There are several different ways to go about doing a cake pan or a mini mono, in fact you should really do bird seed or the rye grains if you really want to get good at the monos or smaller bulk grows. If you search for mini mono teks on here and use the recipe discussed there just scale it down or up as much as you want you will likely have success. Be patient and don't give up if you mess up is all I really should say because there's going to be times which mess up and things dont go as intended. Just get back on your feet and try again. If you give up you'll never have them at your disposal!!

For the cake pan that's in the SGFC I used 2 fully consolidated and colonized BRF cakes (strain blue meanie) crushed up and spawned that to 4 half pint jars of pasteurized verm/horse poo (probably 20% verm and 80% horse poo). I lined the cake pan with a plastic trash bag in order to be cleaner and for the brick once fully colonized to be easier to get out of the pan. I first put down 1 of the half pint jars of substrate and evened that out on the bottom of the pan, then poured 1 of the jars of spawn on top and evened that out. Continued the process but the second layer of substrate was 2 of the jars of poo and then another layer of spawn was applied and finally the last jar of poo was placed on top.

After the pan had colonized pretty fully and I began seeing myc being furious in certain parts of the pan I would place dry vermiculite on top of those but only did this once. I was thinking this would allow for a more even pinset since the rest still needed time to colonize. I was right too. Here is a pic of the pan itself this morning when I woke up for class.



(In order so far from left to right 9am september 25th, 3pm september 25th, more to be posted.)

I took that pic this morning at 9am. I will take another upon returning home to show how much growth has occurred in the small amount of time between me leaving for school and coming home (also I plan to show a set of pics side by side showing the growth of the pins over time so this post will be updated over time) I have noticed, not sure if this pic shows it but, there are several pins growing throughout the pan and to be honest so far this is the most successful attempt at bulk that I have ever had. I properly pasteurized it this time I believe. 2 hours at in between 140 degrees and 170. I am hoping these mushies will be much  larger than ones harvested from simple BRF cakes..:mushroom2:

So here is a cake pan I decided on, you can read how I put it together above in my other posts but I thought this would be nice to put pics of separate times throughout it growing for everyone to see it as it grows. Might as well put it on another reply here so here they are and I will continue to post the pics side by side on this post. If anyone has tips or recommendations for me I will gladly listen. I appreciate any comments given!

From left to right 3pm 9/25, 9pm 9/25, 12am 9/26, 9am 9/26, 10pm 9/26, 9am 9/27, 10pm 9/27, 9am 9/28.




So this is the first flush of the cake pan. Its Blue meanie. I got a total of 226 fresh grams. For this size of a cake pan I believe that is very acceptable. Nothing compared to a mono however. Let me know what everyone thinks. If there is a way to improve the yield please tell me...nicely, I'm sensitive. :tongue2:

Excellent my friend thankyou for the reciprocation and great info on the cake pans and advice!!:smile:
If I may ask, is it plausible to obtain any kind of poo online? lol
My first time attempting a mono bulk grow I will utilize the powerful whole OATS! rather than wbs or rye because oats harbor a waxy hull exocasing that allows for any mycorrhizal growth inside to be virtually undamaged and oats are more resilient to G2G transfers and recover easily from shakes. Christ I love mushrooms, the growth processes and mycology.. Very fascinating and exhilarating!:mushroom2:

I am a broke ass 22 yr old so right now I have no way to obtain the required materials for a monotub project unfortunately:(

Yea I wish I started with oats but thankfully I have some signs of success on the WBS that I have used. Its in my other log where im attempting the mini mono tub.

I will try to keep plenty of pics up with my grows lately I am looking for some people to tell me better ways of doing things or maybe just a good job dude ya know. lol

Good luck on your future grows!

Word man, to be sincere I literally just dove into the realm of mushroom cultivation only last year after taking my first large dose of psilocybin the summer before in July. I am no Paul Stamets by any means but I believe with enough passion and curious intent I could get there:)

You are actually a step up ahead of me as I do more reading and research than I do grows and experiments with different cultures and strains. I have used the brown rice flour technique twice already with moderate results and recently I'm attempting a third grow with mazatapecs and planning on making a spore print for homemade syringes just like you!:smile:

This time instead of plain water I used weak coffee with two teaspoons of honey mixed in and perhaps the mycelium will benefit a tad bit from this?
May I ask what is the best and easiest method to go about pasteurizing poo for trays and monos?
Thanks man,
Much love and God bless you and your journey here:):sun::heart::mushroom2:

Here's from a fairly recent grow:

I just updated the pictures with the final appearance for the first flush of the pan.

I also do tons of reading on the topic of mushrooms and psychedelics in general. Just finished "spiritual growth with entheogens" it was a good and very needed read.

I was wondering also if anyone reading this knows any way to dunk this with the least amount of trouble. This is the usual time in which I screw things up and get no more flushes. Some assistance would be greatly appreciated!!

P.S. 1PM 9/29 I dunked the pan for 1 hours and drained the entirety of the water out then placed back in the chamber.
