Are these pins healthy? Fuzzy feet?
#23752299 - 10/19/16 03:14 PM (7 years, 3 months ago) |

This is my first grow attempt and I just wanted some insight into the overall health of these pins. Does it look like fuzzy feet at the bottom? If so, why? I constructed my SGFC to specs (1/4" holes spaced 2" apart), I have 4.2" of perlite at the bottom and I mist whenever they appear moist.
SGFC from the side. Moisture is due to misting 30 minutes ago.

The bottom two I dunked and rolled 4 days ago, the top 3 I dunked yesterday and rolled today. However, I only have 1 shroom growing out of the bottom left one.

Is this fuzzy feet?


Thanks in advance for help.

I do not believe you have a large Fresh Air Exchange problem.
If you do have one- it is quite small.
Your grow looks alright to me! 
I don't really see much fuzzy feet at all, if any...
Keep on keeping on, if there are any other changes besides those fatties getting bigger let us know!

Thanks man. I'll definitely do so. How about the cake that only has 1 shroom? Poor BE? Could I perhaps expect a larger second flush?
It's important to note that these were pins that started in-vitro. I wanted to see the difference between picked cakes and cakes dunked with pins on them.

This is fuzzy


I have had fuzzier too growing in jars like that.

Interesting. I assume that the dark color is due to sporulation?
I probably took the pictures like my ass since I'm running on 2 hours of sleep and coffee for the past 48 hours. But there is that definite spiky growth in the middle of that cluster and at the bottom of that one shroom. It seems to be extending up the stipe. Does it affect the potency? (Noob question, I know.) I assume that it wouldn't, but what would the detriment of fuzzy feet be?

Also, just out of curiosities sake, why are the caps brown? I expected a tan since this is a GT strain. Does it change color eventually?

Yeah, thought it looked pretty cool due to the good contrast so took a photo.
Never heard anything about potency differences, which is always a controversial topic.
Also not sure about the negative sides of it. I guess it's simply that people think it is a sign of poor FAE and that if they were not showing fuzziness it would mean there was better FAE which some might reckon means more ideal conditions and therefore a better yield or BE should be likely.
This container also had poor FAE and you can see the velvet like fuzziness on some of them

I see. Yeah, it's not that bad as that container, but it's definitely there. I'll check again tomorrow and maybe upload some new images in the daylight. How does one improve FAE on a SGFC that has been constructed to spec though?

It's also important to note that MS syringes house thousands of different spores with thousands of different sets of genetics.
It could simply be that the cake with one mushroom is a late bloomer.
It might spit out a fruit every 4-5 days until it dies out-or it may spit out one giant fruit as a first flush...
It's hard to understand a multi-spore grow.
Maybe you should hop into agar now?
A good place to start is Pasty's Easy Agar tek and going through and reading the different threads in Bodhisatta's agar portal - both of which are found in my signature.
If you're serious about mushrooms and want to create awesome grows with great yields I strongly suggest you start on the road to agar.
and congratulations on the fruits!

Thanks, Morty.
Well, I started this hobby because I am an avid psychonaut and I love exploring my consciousness. Hence, the reason why I'm getting antsy. Hope I can harvest at least 45 fresh grams from this flush for a level 5 trip.
Needless to say, now that I actually have fruits growing, I admit, I am hooked to growing, haha.
I want to move over to agar but the problem is that getting a 23-quart pressure cooker on this side of the Universe is not only difficult, but extremely expensive. Like, with shipping included, ~$800. I'll get there eventually.
At this moment, I have another 6 350ml jars colonizing, and 4 that aren't showing growth yet. Even though it isn't opportune, I was considering using those 6 jars as spawn to Damion5050's Coir Tek. To be frank, PF Tek is cool, and I believe a crucial first step, but it's not producing the yields that I want.
Any ideas on how I can start agar without a PC? Or, at least, bulk spawn without a PC?

Jesus 800 dollors for crappy pc where do you live the artic circle. Anyway 45 fresh shouldn't equal 5 trips for a explorer like yourself. If you have the time streaming sterility is possible. Even with agar you could stream it two hours to be sure. Grain are 8 hours once the inter temp reaches boiling. For 800 dallors you could build a stream barrel sterilizer like grower or rr has. Put us to shame.

Looks like you could have done another row of holes up towards the lid,
 make sure the lid and bottom has holes to spec as well.

Hahaha, fuck, I wish man. Nah, I live on the arse end of Africa. I can't even find 1/2 pint jars here. I'll have a look at some DIY sterilizers though. Hahaha, nah man, not 5 trips. One level 5 trip. So, I want to eat 45+ grams fresh in one sitting. If you don't completely lose touch with external reality, it's a wasted trip, in my view.
Interesting. That's a fucking long time to sterilize grain, but I think it's worth it. I'll definitely do some more research. Thanks for the suggestion.

Damn, I missed that. Then again, I was drilling that many fucking holes, I was tired. I did do both the bottom and the lid though. Will drill that row when these are done fruiting. Thanks for pointing it out.

Another question though, they developed the veil this morning and I assume they'll be ready for picking by late tonight or tomorrow, but the cap color hasn't lightened. Aren't GT's supposed to be tan?

No. If you grow from spores you get average cubensis.

Meaning there's nothing special about varieties. You have hundreds if not thousands of strains in a single grow if you started with spores. Your appearances, potency, size, etc.. will be all over the place
The spores don't even know they have a name slapped on the outside of their syringe

Meaning GT is your average cube It will look like a cube in most cases
If you cloned a fruit with slightly different genetic characteristics than you would get more fruits that look like that
If you had spores from a stabilized strain of cubensis with different genetic characteristics like PE or AA+ you would expect to get mostly fruits that look like that
In your case you have GT spores and you should expect average cube characteristics

Agar can help with consistency, but the most important use of agar above all is clean spawn. Recognizing and producing clean spawn is of upmost importance.

Meaning, that it should be contaminant free? Sorry about the noob questions, but knowledge is power and asking a foolish question means that I'll only be a fool for that question.

Nothing to worry about, they might not even be "authentic" golden teachers, some spore sellers just sell any old spores under the name you want. The seller I buy from has a cubensis "of their choice" sold at a cheaper rate, that's the one I usually go for as it makes little difference to me if all you want is a standard cubensis.
Quote:
Mooshie_Muncha said: Meaning, that it should be contaminant free?
Yes, "clean" meaning free from contams. Many presume spore syringes will contain contaminants as many of them are produced in non sterile environments, so by using agar with care you should have cleaner growth than using syringes.

Thanks heaps. I see that the caps are busy going a bit lighter around the edges and they'll be ready for picking tomorrow to maintain potency. I actually got these from a friend who grew his own last year. So, I assume that they are GT's, but either way, they are active and that's all that I care about at the moment. Guess it's just my inexperience talking, haha.
I thought so. I have read up quite a bit on how to clone to agar, how to ensure that you take a clean section, etc. However, the only problem is getting the proper equipment. With time, I suppose.
Since I want to grow a mono, what would my success rate be if I spawn about 2 quarts of BRF to Damion's coir tek? Would it be a waste?

Spawning BRF to bulk would most likely be a waste yeah. BRF cakes are so bacterial its better just to let them fruit as cakes rather than waste time letting them colonize bulk sub and potentially allowing for more contamination to take foot. Your yields wont much better even if it is successful

God damn it. So, I finally discover my passion, and now it's marred by a lack of equipment.
Oh well... Guess I'll have to start saving up for a ridiculously priced PC or to build some other sterilizer.

Check out a presto 23 or mirro, best value PC's. Don't forget properly drying and storage of fruits, you need heat and moving air to get fruits cracker dry so they don't loose potency over time. A dehydrator set to max temp until cracker dry is the standard, then stored air tight. If fruits are still bendy when stored the small amount of moisture in them will cause oxidation and degradation of actives.

It's the Presto 23 that costs ~$800 with shipping, haha. I'll have a look at Mirro though and see if I can, by some miracle, source one locally.
Interesting. I never knew that. I knew that they had to be cracker dry, but never knew that slight moisture leads to Psilocybin degradation. I don't have a food dehydrator either. I assume that an oven, on its lowest setting, with the lid cracked, should work?
How about fan drying them? I live in a warm area that has an average day of about 91.4 degrees Fahrenheit.

First, a PC, while the most expensive piece of equipment, isn't awful. $70 gets you a brand new 16 qt presto on amazon, and an extra $10 gets you a 23 qt (holds 10 qt jars instead of 7).
Thanks for the suggestions and I am really into it. However, Amazon doesn't ship to my country. Postal service theft and what not. This limits my options quite a bit and my perusal of the internet, has led me to sites that ask almost 10 times the product price for shipping. Perks of living in a criminal country.
I'll definitely think about the suggestions that you made though and I do have an SAB that seems to be working quite well. One day, a man can dream, of owning a HEPA flow hood.

I just have a really hard time believing that price.
Sorry, found your other post explaining your situation. I'm sort of amazed you were able to source the spores honestly, more so than the PC.
In any event, as earlier posts pointed out, you can make do with steam sterilizing for extended periods and just having higher contam rates as a fact of life.
Haha, that's cool. The spores, was quite a hassle for my friend who ordered them from Germany. Luckily for me, I didn't have to go through that. Teach a man to fish and give him spores type of situation. Also, I read your signature some time ago when I was reading through this forum. Found it really amusing and it inspired me to start agar as well. With time, and yes, prolonged sterilization seems to be the way for now.

Haha, that's cool, bro. And, yes, where there's a will, there's a way and I will definitely find a way. Even if I have to build a god damn sterilizer from the bottom up.

-------------------- The biggest trip of my life was realizing all of the events and actions described in posts made by this account were never real and had never actually happened, but were instead the delusional ramblings of a severely mentally ill human being. I just had to move on for my own good. I love you all.

I definitely have fuzzy feet and they are eating my small pins. 
If you have a look at the bottom left of the cluster, there are two small pins that are completely covered in fuzzy mycelium. You can also see the fuzz extend halfway up the stipes of the shrooms.

Could it be that I am misting too much, causing a humid environment? I mist 3 -4 times a day, or when the vermiculite stops glistening. The I fan for 15 seconds.
Could it be that the air in my room is too still? I have no airflow. Could I switch my roof-mounted fan on its lowest setting?
P.s. Please let me know if you can enlarge the photos, for some reason I can't.

Damn man, it sounds like you have an awesome grow going on that side. Definitely seems like agar is the way to go and thanks for all the tips. There is a medical supply warehouse not too far from where I live, I'll go have a look there. They should have laboratory equipment including PP5 dishes as well as agar. If not, it shouldn't be too difficult to find locally.
Really appreciate all the advice though and, hell, if you have a PC, why not make some jams!

Dude if you have a sgfc it's most likely just genetics.
 Just harvested these Every shroom had crazy fuzzy feet If your conditions are right there's nothing more you can do to fight it

Look around you... Everything you see exists inside the mind. Consciousness, the awareness that is experiencing this mind, is peering in from outside the universe. Our individual experiences are all part of the universe's experience of itself

Balls.
Oh well, I'm grateful that I at least have fruit bodies that will be ready to be picked in the next 12-18 hours. Success for a first time, I suppose. Now I'm just hoping it will be enough for the trip I want. 
P.s. Nice looking flush, btw.
