Super slow colonization...
    #22285770 - 09/24/15 07:42 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

I started with 11 cakes.  3 got contaminated, 7 are just about done with their 3rd flush and  1 just finished its 24h dunk and has been in the terrarium for the last 12 hours.

What's going on with this lone wolf
Do you think I did something wrong?
Will the fruiting take an extra long time too?

Good chance it slowly paved over some bacteria.  It may fruit less prolifically or contaminate more quickly.  I wouldn't dunk it with the others.


--------------------


I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister.  I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave.  I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent.
Triggered yet?

Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."


No, this does not look right...

It could be that you packed the brf too tightly in the jar and the mycelium took a longer time to colonize it. Or maybe the mix was a bit on the dry side which would slow down mycelial growth. :shrug:

Did you consolidate the cake before doing the dunk?

Not sure what the hell is going on.  It's been in the terrarium for a few days now and only a nub or two has formed.  Not looking good.  I'll give it a few more days and then toss it if it doesn't start taking off.  Luckily the other cakes did just fine!

(purchased the pre packed sub rate mix online)

I just wanted to circle back on this...

within 48 hours of my last message I was plucking stems and caps.  I only did one flush which moved along at regular pace.  Now I'm hungry...
