Problems with your Penis (envy)

Greetings,
Recently my crow has had some very successful PF runs with Golden Teacher. Each time he has put through a batch of GT he also puts through a jar of Penis Envy. He told me he dose this out of curiosity and an amouage to McKenna.
Without a fail the penis envy would take until the third flush of the GT to hit it's first flush. Another weird note is the fruit from the PE were all very skinny and long. Not resembling the images my crow had showed me of other grows in which the fruits have a robust girth. Anyone else run into problems like this? Could this be because of the genetics of the spores he is using?

Very new to this. Made cakes with vermiculite, brown rice flour, and water in half pint jars. Inj spores and came back in a couple weeks. Looked great. No gray mold all white. Pulled them and put them in a tub and kept it at 80* and 80% humidity. For the last week. Only thing forming is cotton like something growing on them. First timer and I don't know what a bunch of the terms that are being used on the threads. Is this going correctly so far? PE spores

No... Absolutely my crow. You're right but it is fun for me. And you did make me laugh so there is that.
Either way I appreciate the response. This last one my cro... I ... left the cakes to consolidate for a good long time. Seeing as I haven't worked with casing I'll try that next time and get back to you. That is reassuring.
BTW I'm using a LC as well, already tested it for contams before you catch me on it. I know the risks, but it works so well and agar still intimidates me.

That's good shit right there. Good tips on PE. Starting a batch of that tomorrow. The MS syringes seem to be hit and miss.

Penis envy on cakes:

Same spore print used to make grain jars/monotub:

As for the pinning times....I've never noticed a significant increase....my pe tubs always fruit right when the casing layer is fully colonized.

Wow! Look at the difference in both quantity and quality of individual fruits...it seems as if PE in monos is the only way to go!

Very impressive. Exactly what I'm shooting for. What are your steps for achieving clean spawn with a MS syringe?

For MS: I've shot spore solution directly into grain (admittedly risky). Let that colonize. Then, taken one kernel of grain and placed that on agar, then transferred from a clean leading edge onto new agar. Let that grow. Then, a clean agar wedge into grain for a master. Then, G2G.
For a clone: Tissue sample onto agar. Transfer from a clean leading edge onto new agar. Then an agar wedge into grain for a master. Then G2G to expand spawn.
Basic stuff.

What about just skipping the grain and putting a drop or two of spore solution onto the agar? Probably not preferable to swabbing a print (so I've read), but PE prints are pretty much non existent, at least from vendors.

growth from spore solution on agar has been difficult for me. the drop moves all around the agar surface and I have a hard time seeing what, exactly, is happening.
some people make a scalpel incision in the agar to 'capture' the drop and to keep the spores moist.
one kernel of grain is easy to place on the agar and is like placing a small agar wedge on a new agar dish. I like the way the mycelia grows, radiating outward..
I just prefer it over liquid on a dish. You should try it both ways to see what you think.
