Would Low Fruiting Temperatures (68) Affect Height?
    #23565250 - 08/22/16 07:57 AM (7 years, 5 months ago)

So my previous tubs I had were in my upstairs closet, which was the perfect temperature for my mushrooms, hovering at about 77. Both those monotubs (60L) gave me multiple ounces dry per flush. Hooray!

While those two tubs were going, I'd taken a tissue sample of the earliest/biggest shroom from one of them, and then got grain jars going with the mycelium from the clone.

I then prepped two new tubs. Same method as before. Damions Coir/Verm bucket tek. Spawned at the same ratio as my previous tubs.

Here's where it gets different. I had to move my tubs from my closet, to my basement storage area. I fan and mist more or less on the same schedule, and it's still getting tons of 6500k light. The main difference is that the temperature is now at 68 instead of 77. When I saw that was still in the acceptable range, I decided to leave it, instead of getting a space heater.

Once I fruited, it took several days longer than usual to see pins. The pins are much more sparse than my earlier tubs, but they do seem to be more or less the same size(ish). Don't get me wrong, there's still plenty of pins, just nothing like my MS->Agar->TwoTransfer grows.

Now that they are fruiting, I am noticing they are also not growing as tall as I'd expected. Harvest time won't be for another 24 hours, but I don't see them getting tons taller or anything.

Would a lower temp lead to this? I'd heard something somewhere (if I remember correctly) that in colder temps you'll have smaller fruits, but much denser; and at higher temps, bigger and taller, but leaning towards the hollow type?

I'm kind of writing this in a rush, since I will only have smartphone access for the next few days, and wanted to type this out on the keyboard.





Now if you want to compare with what I was able to achieve with the MS->Agar grow which I cloned from....
