{UPDATE 1/31/17}Third Flush -First APE mono 1
#23983525 - 01/05/17 10:19 AM (7 years, 25 days ago) |
|

I have attempted my first APE monotub. I have heard these can be difficult to do. So far everything looks like it's going along fine. I did have some pooling on the surface which caused some yellowing. I used a paper towel to blot it up. If any of you pros have any tips, feel free to drop some knowledge.
This tub was 4qts WBS spawned to Damions5050 bucket tek, put into fruiting right away on 12/21

Have you ever allowed for the condensation to evaporate completely? Even the lid has dropplets falling. Water suffocates oxygen and that promotes bacteria. Get some air in there. The healthiest mycelium ive found in nature was cool and dry.

Are you saying leave the lid off and let it dry out a bit?

havent run any monos but it is ok to have it in the corner/up against a wall like that? SGFCs are supposed to have a min of 6 inches of space on every side

Im saying if your misting then stop. And if thats truly condensation buildup on the lid then your substrate is saturated from the bottom up. Either romove the humidity by unstuffing one of those poly holes for a couple hours a day or take a hit to yeild because your supporting a more bacterial environment. Good Luck. Looks like you got alot going on.
And monos are not efficient in there humidity keeping. They tend to get too wet. If doing a monotub id recommend styrofoam... Like a cooler

Hey OP, so far, you've received some questionable advice. The poster above (pblcenmy1) doesn't know what the fuck they're talking about. Some vets or other members with monotub skills should be in shortly to offer some sound advice. You might sop up that yellow pool of water with a paper towel.

looks like you are on your way my man, for small little spots like that i usually just tilt the tub and let the moisture run across the surface, metabs are not harmfut in fact they are the opposite

Yea sop that excess moisture up with a towel. Fresh air could have done that for you too. Good luck with the more sound information coming soon

I could have sworn there was a post in here from Cronicer saying to roll the moisture around the surface but now I can't see it any more. What's up with that?
Anyways I have soaked up the yellow spots with paper towels and will just leave it be for now.
Thanks for the advice all. Will report back soon, hopefully with some pin porn

Got some APE culture on agar right now thanks to Mycolorado. I'll be  Looking good so far! Out of curiosity, how thick is the casing layer?

Yea I don't want to jinx it. Read how difficult these can be. Honestly I didn't think it would make it this far hoping I'm passed the point of no return though, i see quite a few knots forming.
Kenetic you have been a big help. If I can get fruits and swab I got one with your name on it

Is that a ton of knotting I see? Idk... I've not looked into APE, but looks like ur casing is littered in spun hyphae. Somebody correct me I if wrong please.
I believe the condensation on this tub's inner wall could be heavier. I always shot for a good 1"-2" ring around each plug hole too. You could try loosening some of the poly to encourage sub surface evaporation.... Which facilitates nutrient transfer. Si there a fan ir a vent in that room Stirring up The Air?
I think your colony looks very strong though. Metabs are proof of that.
Hope the first flush is beautiful.

Be careful. The surface already looks dry and APE demands water. Personally I would tighten the lower holes and hit it with a light mist. Raise the FAE later when you have a pinset.

Ok scratch that. Just gave it a light mist and tightened poly

I'm out of SS and would like to make an APE culture. Is that first pin the one I want? Cut and clone or is it to early?

I'd say wait for a few more and take multiple clones and test each for potency. The hard work will pay off in the end. APE are generally crazy potent but I still wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket.
My first clone was off the first pin in a PF jar. I didn't bother taking any other samples and grew two tubs of the weakest culture of all time. I had to eat double the amount to get desired effects.
Don't make the same mistake I did

Ok, will do. So much running through my head right now. Which attribute do I want first; speed, size, potency. I will test a little of everything.
But honestly, what a fucking rabbit hole. How about crossing APE for potency And Orissa for size?
Anyway, I'm getting ahead of myself but this is the type of shit I think of. Just more time to spend down the rabbit hole

APEs gunna APE weather you clone for speed or not. May as well clone for potency.

Crossing APE with anything is kinda a bad idea. It's albino traits will be either lost of overpower other secondary traits, and while the extreme potency is probably a lock, there are so many problems.
Muda has probably the best combo with his PE/KSSS for performance and potency.

Good or bad idea I would not be able to pull it off even if I knew how. Not just yet anyways.

Ok well here is the latest update...
I do not have a ton of new growth. Looks like pin city and really expected it to explode like my malabar tub but nothing really going on
My first pin has grown to a decent size but again I feel like the growth over all is slow compared to malabar. Maybe that's normal but I don't know.
Took Pasty's advice on sub being dry and have been misting 2/3 times daily. It definitely apprecoates the water
Maybe it is an uneven sub but middle looks dry and some spots on the edges pool and turn yellowish. Pretty positive it's not a contam. I have seen yellow spots come and go with the pooling.
Anyways, here's the latest pics. I'm hoping this sucker pops soon!

Closer look at some pins/knots

Think they will all fruit? If so this should be a good one

APE tends to abort a lot as well. But there is plenty there to get your face melted. . .

are these guys ready when the stipe starts to bulge at the top, just like PE?
also when do i start to try and swab them? Same time, just before harvest?
Pasty, I read an old post and you asked about coloring your qtips with a sharpie or something similar. Did you ever get around to giving this a try?
Just looking for pointers on when to harvest and swab for spores since this is my first time.

No I never tried the colored Q tip. I doubt it would work anyways, when I tried swabbing APE the bruising came off on the qtip and turned it super dark blue anyways.

Harvest when the cap is dark blue or when the fruit starts to soften. You don't want them to get squishy.

Ok so this bigger one at the bottom of the photo is starting to get a dark blue spot and is just a little bit softer than the rest of the cap in that dark blue area.
Time to pick? Cut it and any clusters with it? Pluck it by itself? I don't want to harvest any I don't have to but if they need to be removed in clusters so be it

While I appreciate the accolades I totally got lucky. I just got new lids with SHIPs in and was anxious to try them out so I knocked up some WBS jars with An APE spore syringe. In October! After they colonized in several weeks to a month they sat in my basement for a few weeks after full colonization at below normal temps. Not sure what I was trying to accomplish. Finally I put them to a tub thinking it would fail and a this grow is the result. Pure luck. Now I know better

I'm pretty sure tmethyl mentioned that he doesn't fuck with agar very often and still gets decent yields. Vendor syringes can have a suprisingly low amount of contams and if you use a very little amount of solution you have a higher chance of decent spawn afterward. I nocked up 5 plates with a single drop from a vendor syringe and only 1 showed signs of contamination after germination.

That's a really nice tub!! Killer job!
I think APE may be the best looking cube..
Has anyone figured out how to get APE to preform consistently? I don't think I've ever seen a solid canopy tub of APE. I know pasty has posted some killer tubs but I've read him say how inconsistent they can be..
Is it better to go MS or clone a bunch of quality fruits and test?

Ok here's what it's looking like this morning. I'm thinking its time to harvest?
 The problem I'm having is it is so tightly clustered that I will need to take most of the fruits, even ones that don't look ready. Oh well

2nd flush results are in
989 wet, dried to 60g

3rd flush attempt underway. I flipped my substrate to see if it would make a difference. I read some info(old) that said fruits grow larger on later flushes because they don't have as many spots to pin from. Not entirely due to that reason but it is a factor.
