PF TeK...What kind of mush is this ? Hows the grow look? PICS
    #23704853 - 10/03/16 07:51 PM (7 years, 3 months ago)

Hi, Iv had about half these cakes in a SGFC that had holes not big enough ( in my judgement ) which was causing delayed growth.  Also...that fucking Acurite hygrometer, now i know why i see people saying do not trust them.... fucking things had me tripping harder than certain fungi. Anyways... here is a SGFC i built today after finally finding the right drill bit for 1/4" holes - 6 sides - grid pattern spaced 2 in.

This strain is a cube but I would like to hear what you all think before i disclose what it is so as to not influence your guessing.

I touched the fruit on the cake with only 1 tiny half inch cube on it and holy ...fucking...shit.  The thing is so dense I cannot even begin to describe it.  Which leads me to questining some things... any who.  Please share your thoughts, suggestions, critiscisms.  I was misting about 5 times a day and fan maybe 10, 12/12 lighting with 6500k =\.

Now that I moved the cakes into this new SGFC and some newer ones just dunked and rolled I would guess it will get some more pins/fruiting stages going on. Oh and I noticed the cakes were heavy and pretty hard so i re-rolled some of the older ones that i botched when rolling after their initial dunk about 6 days ago, the other ones were finished dunking and i rolled them an hour ago now they r all together. Hope this is clear , my head feels strange.  Thanks you .:tetsuo:

Let's see. Thick stems, dark caps. I'm guessing PE or PE6.

The yield is looking like something to be desired.  A double roll in verm?  Your post doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Why are those cakes double stacked?  Are some of them pint sized?  If some are, are you 100% sure they were 100% colonized?

What exactly makes you certain of your judgement?  You seem like a novice who hasn't exactly earned the right of any judgement in this field.  I can see yo u didnt follow directions and put the right depth of perlite in if those holes are 2" apart like you say.


Delayed growth?  I mean....I am tired man.  Why?  Why have you done this tonight?  I just cant......

You're probably right. I was just guessing. I've only grown 4 different strains, so my visual experience to differences is limited.

Ive only grown 1 strain in 15 years.  I dabbled with pan cyan a little bit and atl7 but had to move soon after and never finished.  If you can guess it in 3 tries I will give you a free print as soon as I am able.  Make this post a little more interesting.  :scumbagman:

HELL YEA. I almost guessed PE, but I remembered they don't drop spores well. Message me when they're ready. I never thought I'd get it on 3 guesses with so many to choose from.

I definitely will. My fucking cat knocked my plates down and tore into the ziplocks I had them in. I have nothing to work with right now.

no bueno.  I know you normally don't have growing mycelium thrown into closed boxes but I always throw my plates in one with no issues.  They raise too many questions when people see them.

I had them in the top of my closet. Only me and the wife ever saw them, so I wasn't worried about that. I tried a box when I first started, but my little white rhizomorphic pet caught a bad case of cobweb that I played hell getting clean again.

Cobweb on agar?  Interesting.  You think it was because of the box?

Yea I think so. In baggies I leave a tiny bit at one end unzipped for a little FAE. I read on here while I was checking out contams that cobweb won't really start unless it has no airflow, so I figured the box was too restrictive. There could've been another cause, but I havent had any problems since and peroxidated plates cleaned it finally after about 8 transfers.

Cobweb will hit non sterile mediums with no airflow in open air conditions (if that makes sense.)  Cobweb or any contam in your agar is a sign of poor sterile technique.  I am having a hard time thinking it was cobweb tho.  Did you bring it up on the boards?

That makes since, my agar was started from a syringe, so it could've been the source. Could've been technique. But, it was really stringy and fuzzy growing all up in the corners of the plate and never really changed color, other than getting a very slight grayish tint. No, I never asked about it on here. I just knew it wasn't right and from the descriptions of contams I was reading, it was the only one that fit the bill.

One thing you have to realize is where agar SHINES is cleaning up contamination.  When you take wild tissue samples from the woods, you will have like 3 to 5 generations of dirty plates IF YOU ARE LUCKY.  That is to be expected.  You keep transferring and transferring and transferring carefully until your plate comes out clean one day.  That is what agar is all about.

Oh I got it clean. Finally. It was pretty bad before I noticed it, I was doing small grows just for the wife and myself. It had gotten grown in with the mycelium so it took a while, like I said, 8 transfers on plates with peroxide.

The ones my cat fucked up, I didn't even try to clean. They were open all over the floor with dog and cat hair and god only knows what else all in them.

Ah... All so wrong.  Keep trying.  I should have held off on making this thread/post till tomorow.  So tired its unbelievable.  Yes they have consolidated ... yes the holes are 2 inches apart.  I made due with the container.  The original cakes didnt get rolled really so when my second batch was ready I rolled them all.  Meatiest fuckers I have ever grown.

  Slow as tits though, probobly because i couldnt find the right drill bit initially after a move and made due.  Humididty was staying high in old chamber but FAE sucked, even with manual fanning like once an hour from waking till sleeping.  This new sgfc fixed it.  I delayed their growth while colonizing via micropore tape and certain conditions in grow room, and limited GE to see if it would change the fruit from first flush.  WHy? because I have to much time on my hands.  Amazon.

Identifying a cube as "amazon" is about as much an accomplishment as identifying a white person as "Caucasian".
