nice labels

you can PC coco.

after 24-48hrs the grains should be recolonized enough to stick together while you move the jar around. unlike the free moving grains following shake.

hey, man. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Loose leaf and tape gets the job done. A couple dates and symbols to cue me with what I need to remember :cool:

if I need a little more time. Like an extra 24 to 36 hours after the amount of time you said, will I be okay? Or do I need to fridge them?

1/22 - first monotub
So the plan changed...again. Not sure why, but after I shook my 7 B+ jars, only 4 were fully colonized this morning. So I went out and got a smaller bin, 30 quarts.

Yesterday I pasteurized, which it turns out is a more delicate process than I had previously thought. I shut the heat off at 140 degrees and it kept rising to 175 before finally going back down. I really hope I didn't ruin everything by messing that up. But I figured I'd take the chance and went for it. I ended up doing a 1:2 spawn ratio - 4 B+ spawn jars and 8 coir, Verm, coffee, gypsum substrate jars

I also think I placed the holes too low on the bin. Put them around 4 inches above the bottom of the bin thinking I'd have 3" of substrate below it. But it turns out I had almost 4. Live and learn. Final product:







So I have 2 questions. Anyone wanna help out:
1: is it a problem if the substrate / liner are too close to the bottom of the holes?
2: in the picture below, you'll see that I accidentally spilled some substrate between the liner and the tub. Is that a problem? Will that bite me in the ass if it contaminates?



Anyway, hopefully the rest of those jars will be ready in a couple days and I'll get a second tub going
Also, I'm FINALLY going to shake up all of the Amazonian jars later tonight so there should be at least two more tubs coming there.

More to come
Stay tuned

My liner and sub typically are at the holes. I haven't had issues except poly file working into fruits. The substrate outside liner should not  cause you problems. If it were straw or grain maybe. But with cvg it would be very unlikely. Looking good so far man.:vibin:

That sub looks a little bit on the deep side, it might take longer than usual to colonize completely. I'd definitely consider consolidating it for awhile before fruiting it

definitely a little deeper than I planned. I'm looking at about 3.5 to 3.75 inches I'd say. But I know 4 inches is a normal depth for many. But yeah, I had consolidation in the plan for a couple days after colonization. Thanks for the suggestion!

1/26 - little brother mono
Two days worth of updates. This entry is for two days ago, Wednesday night. I took the last 3 quarts of B+ and made a smaller mono. 27 quarts. 3:4 ratio of cvg- left out the coffee on this one

1/28 - little brother is growing up so fast
About 48 hours later, here's what the second b+ mono looks like:


And the new little mono stacked on top of his big brother:


And and update of the original b+ mono that was spawned on 1/22:



A few more days and this guy will be placed in to fruiting conditions

In other news, 4 of the quart jars of PF Classics (aka amazonian) are fully colonized. Refrigerated them until I get my tubs next week. Hopefully by then the last three jars will have finished as well and I'll have two more monos going for those guys. Obviously a lot of updates and pictures coming your way

More to come
Stay tuned

1/30 - Fruiting conditions for the little tub

The little tub that had a 3:4 ratio hit 100% yesterday. Sent it into fruiting. Here's a picture:


The big tub still needs another day or two before it's at 100%
Amazonian quart jars are all almost done too so I'll be setting up some more tubs in a few days

2/4 - Big brother to fruiting and Amazonian monos

Big day today. I introduced the original larger B+ mono to fruiting along with the mini b+ that has already been in fruiting conditions for a few days. I also made two 33 quart monos for the Amazonia she which finally finished. All monos are from MS grains. Used a 1:2 spawn ratio for the two Amazonians of cvg. Here is what the current setup looks like (the grey bin is just for supplies):



Next batch of pictures will be pin porn (if all goes well, fingers crossed)
Next step for me will agar work to get some strong genetics for my next monotub project after this one is all spent

More to come
Stay tuned

2/10 - Here come the pins

So the smallest monotub just started showing some pins a few days ago. 2 pins about 2 days ago. About 15 pins today with what looks like more to come. Here are today's pictures:









I'll keep you guys updated as this progresses
As for my original B+ tub, still no pins. But it looks like it'll be ready any day now. And my other two Amazonian tubs are well on their way to full colonization! Going to do some agar prep this weekend so it's ready for the first flush!

More to come
Stay tuned

2/13 - Pin Porn and agar

Here are the updates on the pins from my mini mono:







And a closeup of my favorite cluster that I'll transfer to agar once matured:



And the agar plates I poured yesterday:



The big B+ mono STILL hasn't shown any fruits. Not sure if something went wrong. I'll update with pics over the next couple days if nothing progresses

And finally, the two Amazonian monos are pretty much fully colonized. But they were only spawned 9 days ago so I'm going to let them sit until 14 days and then I'll move them to fruiting

*If anyone has any feedback, i would love to hear it!*

More to come
Stay tuned

PIN PORN PIC UPDATE - My comeback tale: Bulk grow after an 8 year hiatus [PICS along the way] [Re: onethroughthree]
    #24096210 - 02/16/17 06:48 PM (6 years, 11 months ago)

2/16 - First harvest

Just 3 days later, this is what the B+ mini tub (little brother) looked like:







I noticed some of the mushrooms were matured - veils broken.  However, many are still maturing. I think it's probably because this is an MS mono and the genetics vary so much from mushy to mushy.  Hopefully when I clone / isolate, I'll get more consistent timing in my flush. I decided to pick the ones that were ready and I'll finish picking the first flush when the rest are ready before dunking and initiating flush 2.  Here is today's wet harvest (all of which are currently drying in the dehydrator. I'll update with a dry weight tomorrow):



When I was done picking the ones that were ready, this is what was left in the tub:



So there's obviously still plenty more to pick in this flush.  I'll add up the wet weight of all harvests from this flush and the dry weight of all harvests and let you guys know what the total is when the first flush is TOTALLY spent.

Here are two of the biggest boomers from today's harvest:





***AND I HAD A GNARLY MUTANT (I posted about it in a separate thread because I felt like it needed it's own spotlight - i thought it was so cool)***

Finally, I took my first stab (no pun intended) at transferring my favorites to agar.  I beat this guy up pretty bad in the process and he bruised like a mother fucker. I'll let you know how my transfers go in the next few days:



And FINALLY, my B+ 33qt mono (big brother) started showing pins yesterday.  Very little guys, but lots of clusters that I'll hopefully get a chance to clone. As you can see, there's a lot in the works and I'll keep you guys updated

More to come
Stay tuned

2/20 - Final totals for B+ "Little Brother" and update on other tubs

So here are all of the totals for the first flush of my B+ mini monotub, nicknamed "Little Brother"

Recap on the details of this tub:
- 27 quart bin
- 3 quarts of MS B+ Spawn, rye berries
- 4 quarts of CVG substrate
- Spawned on 1/26
- Harvest of first flush occurred every day between 2/16 and 2/20

After MANY dehydrating sessions that looked like this:



HERE ARE THE TOTALS:
Wet - 594.4 grams
Dry - 57.75 grams


For an MS grow, I am very satisfied with these numbers.  I'm working on cloning / isolating as we speak, so hopefully when I start a new batch of monotubs, I'll be able to hit my goal of 1 dry oz per 1 quart of spawn. The pinset was more compact towards the center of the tub away from the lower polyfill holes - I dunked and we're waiting for the 2nd flush to start up

However, the pinset on my original MS B+ "Big Brother" 33 quart tub is VERY full - pics to come as they develop more.  There are clusters EVERYWHERE so I have a feeling that the weight per quart in Big Brother should be even more impressive than it was in Little Brother.  Not sure why this tub is doing so well, maybe genetics of the MS, maybe because I used coffee in the substrate  :shrug:

I also introduced my Amazonian tubs to fruiting on 2/17 - They are well on their way

Finally, I made my first transfers in my agar work - 3 dishes for a cluster that I found impressive, 3 dishes for a big fruit that I really liked, and I made 2 dishes from 2 different pins in clusters from Big Brother that looked promising.  Will be making more transfers until I have nice ropey rhizomorphic growth
