Pin Porn and Mono Dial-in Help
#23188592 - 05/04/16 12:47 PM (8 years, 8 months ago) |

Hey, all. I have a couple of mini-monos. This one is (I think) Malabar Coast (but could also be Equador) from multi-spore. It started pinning a couple of days ago and these boys seem to be progressing, but some seem to be breaking their veils already while still < 1 inch tall.
I have misted once/day for the last couple of days. You can see that I am using Easy Felt on the bottom holes because it is so much cleaner than tufts of poly. I am seeing the dry spots around the holes as expected, so I think the FAE is good.
Stats: 1:1.5 Rye/CVG with JiffyMix Casing.
Critique my setup, please!
Wednesday

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Misting the casing was too much and I water-logged the jiffy mix. I decided to take the top off of the tub to help evaporate some of the extra water.
Thursday

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ New pins have broken through and the older pins continue to grow but some are still opening too early. Will keep the top off again and pick the older fruits that have opened.
Friday

Seems ok but it might be a bit overly wet if you are misting everyday. Monotubs usually don't need to be misted on their first flush, especially if you dunked your grains prior to spawning.

The casing is pretty thick looking. With that much casing you shouldn't need to mist at all. If it gets waterlogged it's going to inhibit pinning.

Helpful. I will ease up on the squirt bottle action. I have pins starting my 2nd mini as well! I have a couple of PR tubs that are taking for ever to pin comparatively. They colonize crazy fast in every medium they are put to though. I am hopeful that they will be worth the wait. In the meantime, they are tying up a tub. I might need to get more tubs...this is getting expensive.

Yes,the extra misting may be causing water logging which can result in stunted growth like that.
With a thick casing layer, you can allow more FAE and that might produce better results as evaporation increases.

Great advice. I took a pinch of the casing and it is pretty soaked--well beyond field capacity. I am going to take the top off for a bit today to let it air out. The pinset is pretty great (at least for one of my early MS experiences). Here is this mornings view.

Nice man - good looking breed, which variety are you growing?

You can certainly do that. Cronicr has a write-up somewhere about doing open air grows. He says he covers them at night, but leaves them open to air during the day.
Doing something similar in a mono might help prevent some of the cracking that can happen in open air fruiting. The high walls of a mono might help reduce some of the evaporation caused by cross drafts. Down inside the tub, near the fruits and casing, you may still be able to maintain a decent RH from the evaporating casing layer.

I am 90% sure that it is Malabar Coast (10% that it could be Ecuador). The uncertainty is from doing too many inoculations at once while being over the age of 40. But, yeah, they are really pretty.

I read that as well. I will do the day/night thing and see how the casing does over the next couple of days. I will post some pics as it progresses. I don't want to make a habit of doing the labor-intensive thing. I really want to get my mono-fu dialed-in to set and forget.

I have already made it a habit to label the jars because my memory is terrible and I'm over a decade off from 40. I really like the look of the Malabar Coast, I will look into getting a syringe.

Hands: "I am on a roll. Should I get the marker now?" Brain: "No problem. I won't forget what that jar is in the next 5 minutes. You keep going, hands." Hands: "You sure, bro?" Brain: "I got this."
20 secs later... Me: "What the fuck was I just thinking? What are these jars here for? Where are my friends?" Brain: "Uhhhhhh... kind of rings a bell. Ask hands."

Haha yeah been there many times  Keep posting pics man - I would love to see some of the larger ones that are going to come off your tub later on.

Here they are this morning. Lots of new pins pushing-up but the older pins are still opening-up stunted. I am going to pick some of the older fruits and keep the top off again today.

Update ~~~~~~~
Checkout the bluing on these little guys! Gotta be potent.

Flush came-in over the weekend and got a little too far for getting prints. The fruits remained somewhat stumpy--tallest was about 2 inches. But the yield was still pretty solid. There were a lot of pins on the sides of the cake hiding under the liner so I must have created too nice a microclimate in the liner by misting so often. Lesson learned.
I picked the side pins and filled a nesco tray with them. See the whole harvest from the weekend. The bigger fruits are from a different mini-mono that was about half-way through the first flush.

Update: Total yield from both tubs was 1.2 oz. just harvested another tray.
