First time grow attempt (V-TEK) Burma strain * 1
    #23689284 - 09/29/16 04:54 AM (7 years, 3 months ago)

Hi there, I posted before regarding my setup etc, wasn't quite up to scratch

https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/23539855

I have been able to grow RGS MYC into two monos (one is shown here) and have just put them into fruiting conditions and am seeing some good results, hope nothing goes wrong.

Just as a quick run down here is what I did

MS inoc (Burma strain) from syringe (1x 1pint & 5x half pins) (blew up my glove box first attempt, haha, was great)
These containers took about 15 days to colonise at which point I shook them and let consolidate for a further 4 days.

Two tubs, both 50/50 inocced 11th of september
Both tubs showed pins 2 days ago, both were put into fruiting (one is doing better than the other, possible due to more efficient field capacity in second tub)

I also have a pint of nice WBS with 5cc MS inoc but yet to see growth
I also have two baking trays with 50/50 and RGS 2x half pint RGS and 3x Half pint RGS

Pics below for reference :smile: Happy to answer any questions but I would like to say thank you to people who have posted great information here, it has really been a great help, i've read and read and watched videos and i'm hoping that i've done everything right.





50/50


About 10 days at room temp (about 24-26 c


What I had initially but 10 got contams because of G2G and improper procedure probably


Sexy


2 days ago before fruiting


1st day fruiting

Yea man, I've bought some petri dishes and made some up with agar, gonna grab the healthiest one and snap the stipe, need that perfect genetic strain :laugh:, can't wait!!!

Contams because of G2G, jars went green and greeny grey, was concerned about opening them inside so i just threw them out, I think it was due to over hydration of the RGS and also letting the jars sit there too long before inoc and/or bad sterile procedure. I've learnt a lot for my first grow, can't wait for the second :smile:

Yea man, 6 prints done beautifully and 7 plates done. Also have two more trays with 5 jars split into 50/50, just waiting for colonisation above the fridge hehe.

Also bought an aqua heater to regulate an incubation chamber for jars and trays.

Onward we go into Myc land.

I tried 2.5g the other day too, fucking extremely potent in comparison to my previous ones i've taken, very happy with the result

Pitch the incubation tub, jars colonize well at room temp, in heating them you are inviting contams.

This time of year incubation can work wonders, especially when it's freezing outside. Incubating in mid 70's shouldn't cause extra contamination unless you're doing something wrong. It's higher temps that favor contamination. I love TiTs

Edit: congratulations on your first grow! Looks like your kickin ass!!

If your house is not 68-70 you live in a tent and have bigger problems.
TiTs cause more problems than help, I speak from experience.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience, but that doesn't mean everyone will. Maybe we should ask OP what his incubation temps are before giving advice. If you run the PC cycle right and keep the temps right, you should do alright.

I don't live in a tent but thanks for that. I own my own home and try to keep the bills down in the winter. I run a wood pellet stove during the night when I'm home, but my grow area upstairs is not even close to 70f the majority of the time.

Must be nice to have your house at 70 all the time, but if I didn't use a TiT I'd never grow any tropical species like cubes.

Your upstairs is not 70?
I heat with wood as well, hand cut although about 2.5 cords per year.
Upstairs should be warmer.  Warm air rises, you should look into better insulation as my pal who lives in Alaska keeps his place at around 70 with a potbelly stove.
I don't use a TiT and my home was built in 1938.  And I grow cubes on ground level.
I know cakes very well.  I am simply giving real, solid advice from 5+ years of growing cakes myself.
If you'd like to chat about insulation options I'm always around I had to update this home after I bought it and raised a family in it, kids whine about cold :lol:
70 degrees is not that warm.
Best wishes. 
Dick

It's a back room on the opposite side of the house. I leave the door shut to keep the cats out. It's a newly purchased house so updating the insulation is def something I will be looking into. Before I was living in a very cold apartment that absolutely had shit for insulation. If you got any tips I'm all ears.

Just goes to show you everyone's situation is different, that's why it's best to get all the info before making blanket statements about what works and what doesn't work. When using clean innoculant and keeping the jars between 70-75f I get little if any contamination.

Agreed, we are all different.
Just don't want a noob to grow mold bc they think TiTs are tits lol.
You are best off to heat the room with one of those radiant oil filled heaters man.
That way you can warm your fruiting room as well.
I truly wish you the best, no harm meant brother.

I would find 70F too warm, as would many people I know.

old comments about the issue

For cubes anything below 65 I would say you may want to add a heat source to the room.


And this is why I and many others do add additional heat. I expect many others would have an improved experience growing if they also heated, but many do believe this blanket "if your jars are in a room they are fine" often people add in some condescending shit like "unless you're living in an igloo" or some similar crap. So I expect many peoples jars are on average a fair bit below 65F and wondering what is going on, since so many people said it should be fine to just have them in an area they live in.

Many grow in bedrooms. I know I would be advising the most people I know that they would need an additional heat source.

65F is 18C for reference.

blackout said:
Over the years the recommended colonisation temps used by people have dropped a bit. Of several things being "outdated" or fallen out of use in this hobby I would have liked one of them to have been the vague term "room temperature". For many people the room they incubate in is within range, others still have to heat for best results.

In the RR videos it says to incubate at 75-81F, that is 6 fucking characters to type, it takes longer to type out "room temperature"!

I remember some stupid cunt who rather than admitting that many people do not and/or prefer not to live in rooms in this range -instead he said I need to heat my house.

Colonising jars will generate some heat, I have always felt the amount of heat & subsequent temp rise is vastly overestimated for normal growers with 3-4 jars. Also in colder incubation temps the growth will obviously be a lot slower, and so this generated heat will result in less of a temperature rise. I cannot recall seeing any tests on internal jar vs incubation temp that I would be happy with.

Many incubate in bedrooms. Mine is at 15.5-16C at the moment. This seems the norm where I live. The 75-81F range is 23.9-27.2C

What is an ideal room temperature in a home?
20°C is a very comfortable temperature for living spaces while 16°C is sufficient for bedroom areas.

- See more at: http://www.seai.ie/Power_of_One/FAQ/Energy_Efficiency/What_is_an_ideal_room_temperature_in_a_home_.html#sthash.V5bvOMMh.dpuf


I know in my work people complain about it being to hot if it was in the 75-81F range.

Also room temps may change in coming or previous decades even in the same region & culture.

http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-12606943

Quote:

Comfort cannot be defined absolutely, but the World Health Organization's standard for warmth says 18C (64F) is suitable for healthy people who are appropriately dressed. For those with respiratory problems or allergies, they recommend a minimum of 16C (60.8C); and for the sick, disabled, very old or very young, a minimum of 20C (68F).




Quote:

According to one widely quoted model, initially devised in 1997 by the Building Research Establishment (UK) and used in My 2050, average indoor temperatures have risen from 12C in 1970 to about 17.5C (63.5F) today.




Quote:

The last comprehensive measurement of home indoor temperatures is from 1996, when the English House Condition Survey found although living room temperatures in winter had hovered around the 19C-mark since 1986, hallways had warmed - up from 16.3C to 17.9C.

"And for bedrooms, you'll be far more comfortable while you're asleep if it is about 14 or 15C," says Shipworth.




Quote:

"In 2005, Prime Minister Koizumi (Japan) decreed that no government building should be heated above 20C or cooled below 28C,"







Many here grow in bedrooms. Mine would be about 16C, and would be a good bit colder during the day when the house is totally empty and no heating on, as it would be for most people I know.
