Lucky MS pinset
    #23410486 - 07/04/16 01:59 PM (7 years, 6 months ago)

I'm pretty happy I got my first awesome looking pin set. The method was spores to wbs, spawned to CV (couldn't find gypsum), and fruited at the time of spawning. Many thanks to all the knowledge on here that I've learned. Inocuole, your oven coir tek among many coir teks, Frank's how to get stuff done, docs wbs tek, etc.

I've only done monotubs a couple times, but this is the best pin set I've had. I guess I got lucky with the MS genetics here. If I do any more in the future maybe I'll try out cloning and agar, but honestly I've had great luck with just a drop of spore solution to wbs. I'm not saying it's the best way, but it seems to work at least 90% of the time.

Nice!  :letyourspiritsoar:  Do yourself a favor and take some clones from a bunch of different caps. Maybe you'll be able to isolate a particularly aggressive and prolific fruiting strain.

I might clone some but honestly I don't know if I'm going to do another one right now. This tub will last me a long time. If I took a clone and put it on agar how long can I keep it stored and still be usable? Sorry, I'm new to agar but if I do decide to go that route then I'll be doing a lot of reading first.

If you take a clone it should last a few months on a clean malt-extract agar plate. Better yet, you could take a culture slant; they will last nearly indefinitely refrigerated.

Yea. Make a slant from it. They last for years in the fridge.

Awesome set dude....excellent work!

But I want to talk about spores for a second....when you say 90% of the time, I can assure you that if you use spores to inoculate birdseed it will be closer to 1/7-1/5 jars you lose plus the syringes that are just outright dirty....spores work....they aren't fool proof..the reason we advocate agar so much over spores is for several reasons the first of which might be we know our inoculant is clean 100% of the time....

Past that working with tissue on agar allows you to preserve genetics...you could have Linsey's like this every time guaranteed...I've used spores for bulk grows several times, but I feel safe assuring you you'll never get the speed, comfort, and consistency you get with agar based inoculants from spores....it's a crap shoot from day one tip end....


Amaxing tub! I encourage you to clone one of those fruits.

I'm doing a clone based grow now that was initiated using agar plates I've had in the fridge since January.

If you want to learn more about what it takes to clone..,,click the cloning guide link in my signature for a full pictorial on how to go from a mushroom to a whole new grow!

I only say 90% because I've done about 20 jars and haven't had any fail. All of the tubs and trays I've done recently have given me 4-5 flushes before I threw them out with no contams at all. It's easy to calculate the success rate using binomial probability with an online calculator. 20 successes out of 20 tries means there's an 86% success rate with a 90% confidence interval. OK so it's not more than 90% like I said but it's close. This doesn't take into account dirty syringes or poor sterile technique.

I know there are huge benefits to agar though like knowing for sure that you have a clean culture.

i hate MS, and dont advocate for it at all.. and im moving to agar shortly.. HOWEVER, ive had about 90-95% success rate with MS to WBS over the years. maybe my supplier is just good, but i think sterile technique has a LOT to do with it.

even this current grow. while i wasnt too optimistic to start, at the moment, i have 30+ quart jars with amazing mycelial growth; ALL from MS. EVERY single jar i inoculated is doing good so far. we will see as time passes whether or not it stays that way, fingers crossed. but we will cross that bridge when we get there haha.

now i wont say that MS doesnt have bacteria compared to agar. of course it does. but if you work it properly and get growth going quickly, i think you can overcome any bacteria present, quickly enough that it can become negligible at best. it all comes down to being as sterile as humanly possible, and not introducing any of your own contams into the equation.

I'm worried that the caps might open early and I'm going to end up with a full tub of mini mushrooms. The big shroom in the corner looks like it could start opening the cap already. Any tips or anything I can do to prevent this? Bottom watering? More fae? I just loosened the polyfil.

I don't know why it's not letting me blow up the picture. It says deleted by the op but I didn't delete it. Here it is again.

You can try a bit of bottom watering and taking out the top poly, but a lot of the times those crazy pinsets will just produce a whole lot of smaller mushrooms. second flush may produce fewer but bigger mushrooms.

Try uploading that pic again both say deleted when I try to expand.
Unfortunately I don't think there's much you can do about veils breaking.
I read somewhere that although the mushroom gets bigger from mycelium pumping water in. Too much water can also stunt growth. I think it's just genetics.
I'll try and find that source too if you like it was an interesting read

Likely takes a ton of resources from the mycelium / substrate to mature that many fruits.  Not sure if the typical response is aborts or small mushies.


Curious about: Spawn ratio, grain type, strain.


Have some tests running with supplemented coir and long consolidation periods.
