1 week post innoc, 5 day vacation
    #23371322 - 06/22/16 08:47 PM (7 years, 7 months ago)

Hello Shroomery! (((TL;DR, first grow, colonizing stage, 5 DAY vacation, warm apartment. what do I do ?!?)  I'm one week into my first grow! so far I have 6 jars doing really well, some others just getting a foothold in the substrate, and several more not yet germinated.  This does not concern me. I am very happy with the results thus far.  My issue is, on monday, I will be going on a 5 day camping trip.  The temperature where I live at this time of the year can get around 90 degrees.  Suffice to say it can get pretty hot when the A/C is not on, and I don't want to waste money on the A/C when I am not even there. 

I was contemplating several solutions

1. Putting jars in fridge to stall growth (though I would prefer to continue growth while I am gone of course)

2.Putting jars in fridge, then unplugging fridge to retain somewhat cool temp (but no FAE and possible mishaps with temp)

3. Leave the babies in a cool place and hope for the best

4. Leave the A/C on!

Can anyone else think of other solutions?  What do you think would be the best??

I will include pics of my grow

Lead jar, Inoculated with extra solution after I thought my girlfriend cooked the remaining 2 ccs of a syringe with the flame. (spoilers, it wasn't cooked)



jar2

jar3

jar4

jar5


Jars just getting a foothold, same innoc date


questionable growth jar.

questionable growth jar 2 (black spot)


So far, I have thrown out one jar, it grew tiny white dots Alllll over it.  and looked more moist than my other jars. + a sour smell.  Obvious contam.  These other two I am not as sure about

Just let them sit in a cool room until you get back.

The ones destined to grow will be ready when you get back.

Also what is it 5 days or 5 weeks?


You wanna let jars colonize at around 70-75 degrees

Colder won't hurt just slow things down, and hotter will ruin your grow:thumbup:


Damn sombody already posted.... I agree completely though #3

I thought jars should colonize at around 80, with the mycelium generating several degrees while it is growing? that is what I have had it at so far.  Is that too hot? Also, any thoughts on those last two jars?  Thanks

Way too hot.

That's old info your reading.

80 is good for bacteria and bad for cube mycelium.

70-75 is the best temp for colonization and fruiting. Just drop the temperature if you can. :thumbup:



The first pic is fine looking to me.
The second pic,with the black spot, looks suspect to me.

80-90f is far from ideal but it doesn't automatically fuck it up. 68-72f is fine for colonization 65-75 is good range. Colonization should stay below 85 ideally. Fruiting can happen well into the 100f range. They grow in Texas and Florida ya kno

I agree

Cubes definitely aren't picky fruiters

I was just trying to give him the safest guidelines to go by until he has a good idea himself from experience.

I've had bacterial issues growing at any temp above 80, but I use grains.:shrug:

They would probably grow just fine on BRF jars at that temp anyways but you know how it is. Sick of that old info floating around messing up people who are new to this hobby lol

80F isn't bad for mycelium, it's just better for bacteria than 70F, while cube mycelium still enjoys 70F pretty well.

Hey everyone. Going to leave on that vacation today  I have 4 jars here that are 90-95% colonized.  That are on a shelf receiving ambient light at a steady 74-78.  Should these be put into darkness to avoid pinning ? Remain on the shelf ? Chill in the fridge? Thanks guys any advice is greatly appreciated.

Will they pin? Or will they still be consolidating

Might be both but it won't matter much.

You can still spawn to bulk or dunk and roll with pins
