My First Interactive Grow Log!! Advice/Discussion Highly Encouraged/Appreciated (;
#23386807 - 06/27/16 07:17 AM (7 years, 7 months ago) |

Ok so this is the first time i've ever attempted a grow log, but i'm hoping i can do this successfully with all your help. I'm going to outline briefly what id like to attempt over the course of this next grow sequence; how id like to go about it; and what i expect to gain in knowledge by the end of it all.
I'll update with pictures at any steps where its deemed necessary. I truly believe pictures are worth 1000 words and im sure many of you feel the same.
My current strains have changed slightly from my original plan, and currently my jars are as follow.
B+, Golden Coast, Creeper, PE Amazon
I have between 7-10 Quart jars of each strain, totaling 36 quart jars.
Inoculations were done 1-2 days apart for each strain, so growth will be staggered slightly. My current oldest jars are at 8 days as of today(B+ shown in front; rest are all colonizing as well, but are not quite up with the B+.).






NOW, as for my goals with THIS particular grow overall:
1. Produce properly dialed in 66qt mono-tubs(1 for each strain to start) 2. G2G transfer from some master jars to keep culture going(into jars and bags) 3. Try agar for my second time EVER. (grain > agar, agar > LC, agar/LC > grain) 4. Take spore prints of each strain for later use. 5. Do my first BIG grow with 8-10+ mono-tubs! (/w jars/bags transferred from agar hopefully)
So those are my current goals. I may expand on them as ideas come in or others advise me on a better way to go about it, but that's it for now.
I hope to learn from this experience to further my ability in the world of mycology, and perhaps spread the happiness and knowledge i gain from this experience with others in the community!
Cant wait to see how this all pans out!
P.S. ANY and ALL help is appreciated!! and most likely NEEDED in my case haha. i want to do this right, and for that ill need some assistance from those with lots of experience. i want this thread to be a place for people to discuss my grow, and ways to improve upon it. nothing is set in stone!
First on the agenda at this point would be the following in those regards.
How long would YOU wait to shake MY jars for the first time?!(based on currently pictured growth)

Most of them jars could use a shake right now man... Good job thus far..

Any of them that are around 20-30% need a shake and you'll be spawning in no time. Looking good so far..Good luck man!

right on, maybe ill give a few a shake now then and see how they do. i usually wait until its a bit more colonized or past day 10. day 10 will be tomorrow.
they are growing nice and healthy so far though (:
id also like to mention that thanks to mycologist217's recommendation; im going to try grain > agar, agar > LC, agar/LC > Grain Bags/Jars once these are colonized.
probably the best way to isolate a clean mycelium culture and work from there on the rest of my bulk grows to come!

just a suggestion. good clean cultures are better stored on plates/slants than LC btw.

im ALSO doing that. i was just throwing out my plan as far as how i wanted to delve into agar :p im more comfortable with g2g so ill be g2g transferring jars into bags as soon as the first batch is colonized. i will ALSO be doing the agar experiment as soon as my jars are ready.
LC was mostly for shits and giggles, but a slant sounds like fun as well. ill figure it out when the time comes

hahah no... just a dumb loop i made for myself and this particular grow cycle :p but its subject to change at any moment. as is much of what i plan to do if other ideas cycle in. im in experimentation/learning mode; trying to grasp more of what this hobby is capable of >:)
this grow log could very well carry on through for a while if this all works out according to my loose 'plan'

OKAY, so at day 11 ive officially shaken ALL my B+ jars. took a few before and after pics. all the myc broke up super easy by just smacking the jars against my palm from the corners. mixed up nice and evenly as well.
HOWEVER, my grains seemed super dry. hopefully i dont get stalled growth :/ we'll see soon enough. all jars were DEFINITELY 20-30% colonized.
pics below of a few B+ at current day 11 colonization without shake.



anyway, i thought this last jar deserved a high five lol. it looked more like a hand yesterday, it grew out a little more and they look less like fingers now.

this is all my jars lined up after the shake...


and then this. anyone have any comments? ive never seen this personally. while pulling my B+ jars out i noticed one of the treasure coast jars had a little bit of this growth or bruising going on. anyone? the rest are all colonizing without a problem, soon to be shaken.

That looks odd, I would give it like 12-24 hrs to see what it does. not sure what that is maybe someone else has better experience with whatever that is.
Just wanted to throw you some good vibes for your grow man, ill stay tuned

the myc seems oddly un-compelled by it, but i dont like any weird colors in my jars. its isolated now just in case. if it grows at all im done with that jar!
thanks for the good vibes buddy (; and right back at ya eh?

just a quick update, but exactly 24 hours after a shake, ALL the jars are showing signs of recovery. some more than others, but all looking very healthy still (:
i think i might even shake the 11 GC jars. some are only 10% or so colonized, while others are closer to 25-30%, but shaking them all cant hurt.
and then in 2-3 days i think the rest of my jars will be ready for a shake as well! (i wont take pictures of every shake lol, but ill take a picture of all the jars once they are fully colonized before they go into tubs and i do a G2G. speaking of which, i might have a tub or 2 going a lot sooner than i thought )
also getting ready to stock up on supplies for agar. as SOON as i get a jar to full colonization, im putting a few grains on agar and then the rest into a big bag >:) i think im going to try the no pour tek and see how it fares. looks good to me, and its one less step in the SAB which i like very much :p

Agar should be the first thing to learn for someone interested in growing as a hobby IMO.

take a pic of the recolonizing grains if you're unsure, that's when bacteria is easiest to spot IMO. once its all turned white again bacteria can hide pretty well. especially important if you're just shooting spores into a jar, 1 bad jar is all it takes.

Nah bitch. Bacteria doesn't exist if it's white and smells shroomy. That's what I learned from my uncle's friends brothers hippie friend who's done this for 30 years

mushrooms are just tertiary mycel, mold grows mycel so shroomy smell = mold. treat it with h2o2 and sterilize yourself better next time.

very true. ill take some pics of the recovery, but so far its looking AMAZING! the jar that spread colonized grains the best is looking to be done colonizing in a day or two with how its recovering right now! (all 4 sides COVERED in clean myc spots. looking beautiful)
well maybe not THAT quickly but you know haha. either way i think they are all looking clean at the moment. ill take pictures this afternoon of the current recovery so you guys can take a look and let me know if you see anything fishy in there (:
and as usual, thanks for the replies and good vibes

pictures 48 hours after shake. not bad? ok? good? bad? 

sorry about the blurriness.. i couldnt get the macro right. i suck at taking pictures. ill do better i promise lol.
all jars are about equal on all sides. so what you see on the front, is pretty much the same thing youll see on any side of that particular jar (:

thank you boys (: lets hope it stays that way through out the grow haha
i have agar ingredients on the way so i can get to it as soon as a jar is complete. start isolating a B+ strain ill need to buy a lot more in terms of gladware etc. though haha.
and are petri dishes one time use? just in case i go with a pour agar later, as i WOULD like to try petri dishes eventually. but i feel like the price would add up quick if they are only one time use. if they cant be fully sterilized in a PC... how can they be sterilized for re-use?

yeah they are one-time use. not sure about the glass, ones. but the platic ones are one-time.
thats why lots of poeple use Pasty Plates, especially when first starting out.

i think i might buy a few sets of glass petri dishes then. i know they wont work for no pour but no reason why i cant do a pour; i trust my SAB.
i have a feeling once i start on agar work im going to keep myself more and more busy with this hobby :p
basic idea for pour agar is to mix ingredients i.e. 2g GLME and 2g Agar with 1l(?) water. sterilize this mixture in PC and then pour into petri's within SAB?

2g agar per 100ml not per 1l.
Take a look at any pour tek to get all the small details, I've got one in my sig but that one is directed at transperant pp5's. You can still follow it with glass ones, either sterilize them in the oven or in the PC with your agar. Oven takes longer but doesn't get them wet. Wrap stacks of 10 or w/e in foil and sterilize.

yeah sorry i was fairly tired and stoned and didnt feel like looking it up :p decided to try and go by memory. i knew my measurements were a little off though haha.
i actually read your guide a few days ago though and im definitely doing something similar. i plan to sort of experiment and try different things this time around so it should be interesting. a good learning experience at the very least!

well, almost 2 months later.. ive been in and out of the hospital these past 2 months and have been fully reminded that life is fragile. with that in mind, ive got a larger fire under my ass than ive felt in quite a while!
update on the grow.. well, nothing has happened during this time. but i finally got to check on my jars, and theyve been consolidating this WHOLE time. all of them are 100% contam free, with perfect white myc all the way around 
ill take a nice picture of them all lined up before i start building monos and transferring grains for the next batch cycle etc. its quite a beautiful site to see so many nice jars. theyve dried a bit, and shrunk in size.. but that shouldnt be an issue as long as i dunk them a little longer to get them rehydrated(i hope).
im also wondering if these jars will still work for G2G or G2A transfers?

Don't have any solid advice for you about if the jars are still good for transfers but I am happy to read that you are out of the hospital and reunited with your jars! Sending extra good vibes your way now good luck with the future of this grow and hope you stay healthy!

Definitely start pouring your agar. My first attempt resulted in all my dishes being clean. I found that no-pour was too difficult to keep from settling unevenly and in this instance my pressure cooker didn't seal properly so it ran dry and boiled my agar. Ugh, what a headache. I'd recommend picking up a Pyrex media bottle and following this tek.

thanks everyone for the good vibes and good advice 
i ended up having some family problems and was forced to move into a new location etc etc etc. finally im able to get back to this PROPERLY and work towards actually getting mushrooms grown!
i have 4-66qt monotubs set up now. 2 are fully colonized and just now went into fruiting conditions. the other 2 are still colonizing, but should be ready in a week or so. (pictures tomorrow when im more awake) ive also got enough jars left for 2 more 66 qt tubs and some G2A transfers, which will happen this week.
16 no pour agar dishes i made are currently colonizing as well! doesnt seem to be any contams on them yet, and im hoping to transfer into grain bags/jars and more agar dishes as well. my first agar attempt is going well so far. ive got a total of 16 glass petri dishes too; plan is to get a beaker(or similar) to pour with and get those dishes going as well 
so, with that, im hoping to get this grow back up in a BIG WAY! ill be taking more pictures again tomorrow and posting regular updates for those interested. i feel like ill have some nice pron to post, but we'll see soon enough

What ever happened with all of this? I read through it and it seemed awesome. I am new at this as well and was looking to your experiment for some assistance.
