My First Penis (Grow Log) Updates
#22298048 - 09/27/15 11:28 AM (8 years, 4 months ago) |
|
|
So to start off, I inoculated 1 wbs jar with a Penis Envy wedge in early July. I forgot about the jar for 2 months and found this:

Under the advise of a TC and well respected member, I spawned this one jar to a mini mono rather than g2g it on 9/13. I used only 3 quarts of substrate (c/v/g pasteurized) since I've never spawned only 1 jar before. I wasn't really sure how much I should have used but now I'm thinking I should have added in another quart.
I then cased it with 1 1/2 quarts of Jiffy Mix on 9/24. Here's what it looks like today 9/27

I think I'll give it another day with the casing layer and then fruit it. I was advised to keep the humidity high during pin formation that way I can achieve better pinsets. What I was thinking in order to do this was patch the edges with more casing, then lightly stuff my two top holes with polyfil and leave the bottoms taped up until it looks like I have a good pinset.
Am I on the right track with that mindset or should I do something else for a better pinset?
Update 9/28: Today after I got off of work, I went to check on my mini mono and noticed that this mycelium seems to love this casing layer. The clone I took from my Orissa India never really colonized the casing. Very interesting. It looks like it's ready to fruit 

Update 9/29: This baby is ready and put into fruiting. I went ahead and patched the edges with leftover Jiffy Mix. Not sure if this is necessary. I've seen some people do it, others do without it. However, I'm looking to achieve a decent pinset so hopefully it helps. Tops holes lightly stuffed, bottom holes tightly stuffed with polyfil. 

Update 10/4: This tub is finally starting to show some knotting. I've already prepared myself for the longer fruiting times after reading other threads on PE. I've noticed a tad bit of metabolites as well. First time seeing that. Not sure what's causing it.

Update 10/6: I saw my first pin today However. these metabolites are coming in more and more. I know they are due to some type of stress. Some days I'm gone all day and when I come back, I don't see the surface beads of moisture so I'd give it a spritz (no pooling water). I've tightened the poly. I feel like something is wrong. Anyways here's some pics:

Update 10/10: So more pins have popped up. There is definitely plenty of blobbage. I know PE is known for its sexy blobs but I can't help to think that I had a role in the amount of blobs that are in this tub. Maybe the misting had something to do with it because I feel like since I cased it, there would have been less blobs. Although this is a MS tub. I didn't isolate on agar. I just took spores to agar, then took a wedge to wbs. I will definitely be taking a clone.

Update 10/13: Thanks Psilosoulful for asking I should have done this yesterday. I actually can't help but feel a bit disappointed in this tub lol. I feel like I didn't do enough of the right things. It just looks like shit to me. I am however working on isolating on some agar. Maybe more than 1 jar of healthy spawn will result in a better looking tub. I've only harvested a few so far along with some blobs and aborts but they look nice. More aborts than I'm use to but it's probably due to the misting.

Update 10/15: Total dry weight from the first flush 23.9 grams. Not too shabby for 1 jar of spawn. I'm going to try for a second flush.

You'll want to stuff the bottom holes very tightly with polyfill. Keeping the tape on will only cause excessive humdity buildup and an anaerobic environment will be created at the sub surface. You need to have at least some FAE. The top holes can be dialed in loosely, as described in Frank's tek.
Id let that tub colonize for at least a couple more days until it reaches 30%, then fruit it. Pinsets will come on a lot quicker that way.

The tub looks about 20%. I'd leave it for another half day or so, then fruit it!! Hopefully the pinset comes in strong, I'm rooting for you, PE is next on my list to grow.

Metabolites from misting is normal. But it also means you're misting too much. No pooling water! It has to have a thin film of water/beads. Can't have any pools in the valleys of the surface. You really barely even mist.
Once you mist, it seems you gotta mist once a day at least from then on.

I have noticed that I need to mist it everyday now! You're right, I'm probably misting it too much. I just don't want it to dry out and mat up. This PE is a bit more complex than the other cubes.

I mist it, then it creates metabolites. I cut down on misting and now you say it looks dry. I don't know what the fuck to do with it anymore

You gotta find that happy medium. Judging from the pics, the surface looks completely devoid of any moisture. You need to have at least a few droplets on the surface. The evaporation process will help trigger further pin formations. I'd say give it a light misting now and loosen up the poly on the top holes a bit.

I'll give it a shot. I've never had this issue with my other tubs. Maybe it was because of the variety

Could be a lot of things (genetics, unclean spawn, fruiting conditions, etc.)
Just give the tub what it needs!!

Update 10/13: Thanks Psilosoulful for asking I should have done this yesterday. I actually can't help but feel a bit disappointed in this tub lol. I feel like I didn't do enough of the right things. It just looks like shit to me. I am however working on isolating on some agar. Maybe more than 1 jar of healthy spawn will result in a better looking tub. I've only harvested a few so far along with some blobs and aborts but they look nice. More aborts than I'm use to but it's probably due to the misting.

No need to worry, those aborts are probably super potent, especially since it's the PE variety.
And isolating on agar will definitely result in much better flushes in the future!
