No Rules PF TEK Field Shroom Log-Breaking Barriers-
    #23511008 - 08/04/16 09:09 PM (7 years, 5 months ago)

Hey all,

Just wanted to share my experience with cultivation via PF tek. For current and future growers looking for a grow that is very low tek and borderline sterile. It is said that sterilization is the most important part of a grow and if not 100%, might as well toss the idea. As well as sterilization being a low tek part of this grow I harvested a FIELD SHROOM of great size, printed and made a syringe with the print. THESE ARE THE STEPS I FOLLOWED AND HAD 20% grow rate 1 of 4 with my jars thus far. I believe this to be a good outcome from the half baked method I used. Not because I am lazy, but because of the resources I had readily available and the fact that I wanted to test the limitations of cultivation.

1. Find field bearing fruit.
2. Harvest field.
3. Determine proper specimen for Spore Print.
4. Gently pick specimen. Place in safe containment unit.
5. Once home, Cleanly sever cap from stem with knife (preferably flame sterilized exacto)
6. Place cap on tin foil square veil down, cover with bowl.
7. Let first wave of spores to be dropped approx 4 hours.
8. Dispose of tin foil (or save if ballsy) replace cap on new piece of tinfoil and cover.
9. Let Stand for 5+ Hours, or until print is bold and black. Try out different lengths for more prints after the first clean drop. Just be sure they are very black.
10. Ziplock the tin foil prints individually, as sterile as possible.
11. To store, place in Tupperware container.
12. Acquire syringe. Dollar tree has a large type in cookware
13. Boil syringe needle and suck up boiling water into syringe to sterilize. Repeat as needed.
14. Draw boiling water into syringe and let sit in sterile container until cool to touch.
15. Gather jars for vermiculite/BRF (brown rice flower) mix.
16. Follow steps in PF tek info (search) to understand this technique.
17. Create mixture.
18. Fill Jars with mixture. Again, following the technique already explained on the forum.
19. Boil filled jars for 30-90 minutes.
20. Remove jars and let cool in sterile container. Must be cool to touch before continuing to next step.
20. Retrieve Ziploc spore print.
21. By this point syringe and jars are cool, Impregnate ziploc with water and make sure to be as careful as possible with the opening. Just enough to let the needle in.
22. Draw the spore fluid into syringe.
23. Inoculate jars following any method on the forum. I just used 4 holes in top of jar lid and filled each jar with about 10 +/- ml dividing it between 4 holes.
24. Place jars in container without lid and let sit for 5-10 days.
25. During this period you will either See signs of myc or contams.
26. If anything appears that is not white immediately remove from batch.
27. Mycelium will establish as a small white spec and grow to the size of jar by 4 weeks.
28. At this point birth the jars (search function) and wait for the magical fruits of your patience and labor.

These 28 steps have earned me what looks to be a nice yield from 1 of 4 jars. I added more sterilization processes in these steps to help combat the issues I faced. I didn't use much sterilization i.e. Lysol in containment units. Which I believe would have helped. Also, I didn't place the jars in the cleanest of spaces. Somewhat grungy closet in my apartment. But this just goes to show that it is possible to attain a yielding grown from a field shroom. I was at the bottom of the scale as far as cleanliness and thoroughness and this process still took me 5-6 hours not including shopping of supplies and harvesting at the field. SO DON"T EXPECT TO JUST WAVE YOUR ARMS AND IMMEDIATELY HAVE A GROWING BATCH. This is a documentation of a very low end grow to share with newbies and experts alike for not only experimental research but to share a grow that wouldn't be difficult and essentially all home brewed.

The jar yielding fruit looks very healthy. I'm going to also try a new method of birthing this cake since it isn't a wide neck. Into small round glad containers containing small layer of verm. This way the pins wont be struggling for the top. It's all experimental. Not worried about gathering any fruit. It will just be a plus!







2 jars yielded a of white mold pictured


1 Green mold outbreak




Thanks for sticking with it! Hopefully this will help some people out. I'll update the log when complete :smile:
