my firsrt grow
    #22278305 - 09/23/15 11:10 AM (8 years, 4 months ago)

I had experienced cubes on and off due to availability quality and the typical, I decided to start researching the subject a few months ago and decided that I would like to some microscopic study's to further my knowledge and being a first timer, a complete and utter noob I decided to explore the educational value of the pf tek (brf and verm) as a starting point, before I found this forum I was I could say now blindly following one of many pf teks I had found on the web and of course took that teks advice as to where to procure viable spores for my research, so I ordered from a vendor of which I found out later on this forum was essentially providing products that were not viable, so I followed the tek exactly (I am blessed to have equipment acquired from the local college chemistry and biological studies lab after renovations, another mans trash is another ones treasure) proper sterilization of substrates and surrounding environment and ratios I believe to be followed to a T , I am at 7 days on 1 brf/verm jars with no sign of germination or contamination  ( not completely worried yet) at a stable temp of 78*F I processed my own brf, I decided to do an LC in attempt to check for viability same temp I used honey at 4% LC is at day 3 and has whit film on the surface of the water which clings to the side when jar is tilted (very interesting) and white specs float around, I'm assuming germination has occurred but still to early to tell. I am at work and have to stop here I will post up dates with pictures any criticism is welcome.

his is day 3 of  LC. 9-12-15,  there was a white whispy film on the surface of the water and some specs but mostly clear. Still no activity in brf jar same syringe ( golden teachers)



9-13-15 the film on the top of the LC was was gone and it looked like this. turned almost clear. 







9-23-15 this is my brf jar so far,



9-23-15 i now have 4 more brf jars and i leaned up on the water in my ratio, which i suspected was the reason my first jar took so long to show any signs of growth/germinate because the 4 new jars only took 6 days on the same spore syringe and are taking off like damn it. will post pics tonight.



heres an update 10-6-15 100% colonized, been consolidating for 3 days
going to dunk and roll Friday, I have doubts about the jar that you can see the verm I cant tell if its cob web or if dry layer was to deep on that one and the myc got thin and wispy when it got to the dry layer.. any opinions ???????

Inoculating LC with spores is bad news.  You'll have to count on having really good luck for that not to go south.

Untrue. I've never had an issue. Just because you can isolate a mono culture and just because it grows faster/better/what ever does not mean MS innoc will always contam. If done right and with properly made syringes you will not have a problem with MS injections


Only if your sterile procedure sucks will you have issues with contamination.

pressure canner is your best friend. so is 90% iso alcohol and bleach. 100% iso is better but you pretty much gotta order it.

i read a thread that a guy wrote about extracting a piece from the center of a stem with a hypo and then pushing it out into the LC solution that struck my interest. what would you suggest for LC? or is it even worth my time as a noob? or should i abandon LC all together and lean more toward making my own prints? that LC was more to determine if my spores were viable, guess i could have used agar, i also made a stupid mistake and didn't make a proper LC jar and when i stuck my hypo into the jar it was under vacuum and sucked a shit load of spore solution into the jar.

lol newbie mistake. happens. well, was the jar at least cool? i doubt  you will have an issue. i make hone and LME Lc's and innoc with MS all the time and have no issues. as long as you make a test jar first for common sense rather ruin one then a whole batch. as for that hypo tek i'm not familiar with it. i have heard of others using a scalpel to remove chunks and clone via LC but i do not recommend that. if you need to clone i suggest cloning to agar and isolating a mono culture. its not hard. just requires some sterile procedure. you can use pastywhites agar tek or pour your own agar petris, or order some pre poured petries (sterile and sealed) and save some time and eliminate a contamination variable.

How ever since you are new my advice is to make plenty of grain jars, get a few more syringes, a few more lc jars and make as many as possible while practicing different types of sterile procedure until you figure it out. dont worry about cloning and agar until you are able to grow with out an issue.

The more spore solution you injected, the more likely it is that it will have failed.

Thanks for the advice, it is rather hard being a first timer because there are so many routes and paths to take, and choices when it comes to teks and what not. it is a bit overwhelming, but as many have said "read the forums" i agree with what you said, ill master the basics and go from there because what Ive come to under stand from reading the forums is that most all seasoned growers started with simple teks and eventually developed their own style.. so it probably would be wise to test my LC with agar ? my order just arrived from night train ! i got burmas. what is your opinion of grain vs brf ?

( i did let the jars cool over night before :syringe:)

This particular syringe in lc would have been shit. Luckily I used agar, and was able to salvage it. As seen by me cutting it.

Agar is just as easy to make as LC, and it's much safer. If it's clean spores, great! :thumbup: but I like getting success every time.



That's what I have to say about LC's. I'd say about 50% of the syringes I've gotten had some sort of contamination in them. Maybe I'm just weird, but I totally advocate agar to noobs. It's no harder to do than jello or LC's, and is the best way to improve sterile procedures in your still air box.

Agreed with inoc, i don't care what anybody says about there success rate with spores to lc i will tell ya strait up it's not the best route to take, if the syringes are clean you can make well over 20 from a print anyway and have 200 jars colonzed in the same timeit would take to colonize your lc from the start....agar man FTW

Huh? Did you not use a dry verm layer? Disturbing it can cause dirt to fall into your BRF. Unless u skipped it and used a grain lid filter

Coffee filters literally don't do shit compared to the dry verm barrier, if you did in fact make one.  Mold spores can drive an envoy of semi trucks through a coffee filter.  They could lead Mold Air Force One right in there.  They don't have to sneak in one by one, they can fit the whole Moldy Trojan Horse inside.

If you did make one, it's extremely endangered by being upside down.  And your logic is extremely endangered by allowing yourself to use stuff like cofffee filters without any concern for whether they actually work.  These endangered species cannot be allowed to perish.  Like, save the whales, man.

Yeah I did a dry verm layer, the tek I read said to use the filters I was just following what I read, granted that was before I discovered the shroomery. So even handling the jars can fuck em up ? just to check I'm cool without micro pore tape or anything as long as I have the dry layer? But since I already have the filters on there would it be best to just leave them alone now ? I'm probably gonna do that. And I'm debating not birthing until they just start to pin, and is it ok to add cakes to the fc as they become ready to fruit or is that a no no ? Sorry about all of the questions hopefully I'll be able to contribute later on :wink:

The very last question you asked is okay, and you can let them pin first if you really want.  I wouldn't suggest doing anything else.  I don't even know if I would turn them back upright.  The damage could already be done.

Is it gravity that effects the myc or possibly contaminating the jars from turning them up side down?. I turned them upright last night and when I woke up this morning the jar to the far left all the myc has connected all the way around the jar and all other jars already show more progress just after 10 hours, I hope I didn't blindly fuck up my first grow.

This is at odds with what a number of people say. They say 70% is better than 90% iso for sanitizing.

Noobie, you won't be for long. I recommend working with PF-tek, brf cakes and an SGFC until you get really comfortable with growing mushrooms. Almost foolproof and will get you into a lot of the issues of growing, fast. I have found bulk and grain a lot more difficult. More variables. I suspect you'll be having a field day with agar soon, too.

Welcome to this incredily deep hobby. Mad scientists are encouraged here.

Yes it very much is.  Anything much greater than 70% lacks the pronounced ability to penetrate cell walls.  Too anhydrous at that point.  Might as well be using 20% for as effective as 90% or greater is.

True, The reason alcohol disinfects is because it denatures bacteria This is also the reason is works on a wide selection of organisms. the stronger the concentration the quicker the (denaturalization? ) occurs. when this happens to quickly the cells become harder to penetrate.

So i was wrong. I just assumed since there was a quicker denaturization that it would infact disinfect better.

Untrue. I've never had an issue. Just because you can isolate a mono culture and just because it grows faster/better/what ever does not mean MS innoc will always contam. If done right and with properly made syringes you will not have a problem with MS injections


Only if your sterile procedure sucks will you have issues with contamination.




This is really bad advice. Being results oriented with spores > LC is pretty silly. Inocuole isn't saying multi-spore is bad. He's saying multi-spore from a spore syringe to LC is bad because you have no way of knowing if it's clean or not. Because you don't.

Properly made syringes is the key here and syringes often contain dirty spores.

Is it gravity that effects the myc or possibly contaminating the jars from turning them up side down?. I turned them upright last night and when I woke up this morning the jar to the far left all the myc has connected all the way around the jar and all other jars already show more progress just after 10 hours, I hope I didn't blindly fuck up my first grow.




It's you disturbing the dry verm barrier which is protecting your substrate from the falling contaminants. The more you fuck with it, the more you displace it, and the more likely it is that contaminants will fall through. You're probably cutting off the gas exchange as well, which can force your jars to stall out due to high CO2 levels.

Just leave the jars right side up and don't touch them at all.

I can only fan 3 times a day bc of work, I mist once a day I was misting every time I fanned and the tops of my cakes were soggy so I cut back. Cheap petco hydrometer reads high 90's temps a steady 77 degrees F with a 12 on 12 off light cycle. I heard to much mist can cause aborts so I got paranoid. I'll post pics of the whole fc tomorrow 4 cakes and three have pinned so far the 4th is not showing any signs yet but I'm sure it will soon. Could more pins develop or is what I get in the first few days after pinning starts it until the second flush? Hopefully I get enough for a good journey off of first flush lol so fucking awesome though

Except it doesn't and no one's ever been able to prove it does after how many years? Aborts are from other shit happening. I've drenched fruits and they came out fine. Hell people dunk for 24 hours with pins still attached

:whathesaid:try stopping your fanning regimen...and mist the shit out of those cakes one real good time, then only mist when they start to dry up... why is fanning still a thing that you're  "supposed to always do"? Causes more harm than good most of the time.

Fanning is not FAE, nor can it replace it.

A properly constructed SGFC provides ample Fresh Air Exchange...and tap water works just fine.

So here is the difference 6.5 hours after that heavy mist and the cessation of fanning same mush
