Chief's First Penis of 2016 2

So, look like this old tub is going to fruit. I guess I'll post a log about it.
This quote from me in the cultuvation picture of day thread explains it:
Quote:
TheChief said: First tub of the year (I know, been slacking), this was from an 8 month old spawn jar out the fridge. I gave the jar a shake, they recolonized the grains within days, it looked dead before the shake. Decided I would spawn it to some old CVG in a tub for experiment. I am also not a fan of wasted materials.
Been colonizing for 4 days so far. The CVG I used also sat for 8 month in a jar with foil on them @ room temp, had some molds living in it I believe. I PC'd the CVG for 90 mins and gave the spawn a good dunking. Spawned overly wet with dunk water for lost moisture over the months.
Seem to be going well. Should throw out a few nasty shlongs by the look of it. I'm going to case it with 8 month old 50/50 peat/verm which you see in the second pic, looks and smells great after 8 months, likley because the pH was buffered. I will mist some more calcium hydroxide water on it when I apply to prevent mold.

Just shows you how strong this organism can be. Cubes are beast.

This is 9 hours later.

I will give two more days, case and fruit.
Keep you posted.

This is 1L spawn to 2L CVG by the way. I believe this is a 16L mini tub.

2 days, 8 hours later.

Casing still look fresh, after sitting 8 months.

Added very thin casing, misted with hydroxide.

Fruiting.

Looking good for an 8 month old tub all around, should be seeing some Penis soon.

This tub is still looking good. Getting primordial formations on the casing, no pins yet though. I didn't give this tub much time to consolidate really, likely is the cause for a long wait to pins (been 5 days since casing and induce fruit condition). It did not completely munch the casing so we are all good, primordia forming where they should, in the micro pockets of it.
You don't want them to form underneath or right on top of the casing (after not munching at all or munching the whole thing), this would some what defeat the purpose. IME you kind of want them pins forming right in the middle of it for best results. Perfect application timing is kind of a must with these casings, it can be hard to know when to do it unless you have some experience.
I try to case right before primordia starts forming, a few days after 100%, usually. This gives you a little window where the substrate has almost got what it needs but is still in colonization mode, it will keep colonizing into the casing a bit, to form pins there. If it has already started forming primordia the pins will likely form underneath the casing, and can get suffocated.
Just thought I would share a few of my thoughts on casing with 50/50 peat/verm at 100% colonization, constructive criticism is encouraged. 50/50 casing late or around 100% is the only methods I've ever used, in many different variations (thickness, moisture levels and timing/method of application etc). I feel like I have it down to a science now though, so 50/50 is the method I stick with. Although, I still want to try casing with just coir at spawning, like everyone been talking about; seem a lot easier and by some of the results I have seen, that method should definitely not be ignored.
Should be seeing pins any day now, I'll get a picture up soon.

Hopfully she puts out one flush, I'm going to toss after that. I don't want to see green. I'm surprised it even made it this far, still looking mint, even after what the materials used had been through. Culture should be quite unhappy after sitting that long in the fridge though, I guess we'll soon find out how unhappy it really is...
Pray to the mushroom gods. 
Stay tuned.

Misted with hydroxide? For a second I thought you were toying with calling water dihydrogen monoxide...
I have never heard of this before.

Calcium Hydroxide CA (OH2)
Basically you just mix some in water and it makes the water a high pH. You mist that on there and it helps prevent any mold from starting. I have not tested it too much but I do think it works. The myc don't seem to mind and will still colonize a casing misted with it just fine.

Sweet thank you! Ya I googled the ph of hydroxide but I didn't know it was calcium hydroxide. I have some calcium hydroxide for buffering casings but lack a way to read the ph so I'm just guessing until I buy strips.
I'll try it.
Anyways may the mushroom gods be with you. Excited to see how this goes.

You just want a tiny amount, mix it up real good before spraying. The pH of the mist can be high up there, that is the point. It won't matter much because you only do it the first time you mist, just one nice dusting. The pH of the casing should be lower so will absorb most and balance it out, as well as protect the myc from being directly hit by the hot (high pH) water. I have tested the water after adding it before and it was above 9 for sure. Don't add too much though, you should get strips. I would say 9 is a good number to shoot for.

Got it. I'll pick up some strips, add small amounts of hydroxide, mix until I hit a ph of 9, shake well and give it a dusting.
I really appreciate the thourough explanation.

Still not seeing any pins in this tub. 
Maybe pissed off/weak culture from sitting so long? Colonized fast so I thought would be fine for some fruits.
Look like lot of primordia on it, give it some more time I guess. Still looking healthy.
I'll be adding something else to this grow as a surprise anyway, just for some shits and gigs, keep an eye out!
