Penis Envy Grow Log
    #23993067 - 01/08/17 05:09 PM (7 years, 22 days ago)

A few months back I had my first successful truffle grow and now I think its time to try my hand at some mushies again. This time I'm going Penis Envy, and I've got 4 jars of an isolate Ive been working on for a bit now and 4 jars of the ms agar that I started from. Wish me luck, and happy growing!

The iso jars, gonna use them for G2G later when I have more jars ready.


The 4 MS jars

All loaded up and ready to go :laugh:

The rest of my dried truffles from last grow

After a couple set backs, im back with a few more pics. Some of my jars contamed, so now im left with 4 usable jars (i really need to work on my sterile technique) . I also used one of the jars to try out violets pod-tek. So far so good, the mycelium is eating up the rye, will post later when I have pics of them fruiting.

I know im not supposed to use rye for cakes, but this one started getting a yellowish contam (or what appeared to be a contam) and also invitro pins. I fruited it like a brf cake in a sgfc. Today is day 3 and the cake is looking great :laugh:

Couldn't find a concrete answer, but the mycelium seems to have overtaken it. It was a small spot so nothing terrible

edit: the other jars were bacteria of some sort. Yellow/slimy crap.

2/26 the cake i put in the fruiting chamber has only made a bit above 7 grams dry. A lot of the pins aborted :/  Now I've got 2 trays in the fruting chamber and i can see pins forming. Seems like this is going to work better than the cake, but im getting hella side pins.




side pins :frown:

Your trays dont look good brotha, definitely bacterial...i say that because and of course i could be wrong bit it looks like the sub isnt completely colonized and its pinning already, thats usually no bueno mi amigo...

The truffles look fantastic! I hope i can do sometging like that with my Tamp jars!

If you don't want sidepins, you've got to use liner .)  Nice job, I've read that it takes longer for PE to pin than other varieties of cubensis, how was your experience, how long did it take?

I'm also doing a minitub of PEUs right now, waiting for it to pin.

Those truffles look really good too.

Thanks for the input! would i be able to spot the bacteria or is it in the sub? should i just continue fruiting this and toss it later? Thanks as well. truffles are a bit easier to do than shroomies in my experience.

I should have asked this first, but, did you case the tray?

Even if it is bacterial, your still gonna get fruits, at this point all you can do is ride it out, and work on your sterile technique on the next round!

Yeah if there is no casing it is most likely contaminated.

Are you using a SAB?

I do. Clean it before/after every use with iso. Ive even went as far as adding gloves to it so its completely sealed. May it have been the sub itself? This stuff was god knows how old. I'm actually afraid to admit how long ago I bought it haha. It was kept in a filter patch bag, inside a plastic bag sealed with a twist tie in my closet.

I would remove the gloves,  completely sealing the box creates a vacuum every time you move the air inside of it, it's best to have a little room around your forearms.

That's definitely gonna be an issue regardless, but if your positive that your spawn was clean, then that's certainly the likely vector.

This is what the trays look like now. Im actually going to a music festival tomorrow for 4 days, would they be ok to stay in the fc over that period of time without fae? or should i just harvest tomorrow?

I'd wait for someone more experienced than me for a more precise answer, but my .02 is to leave them. they are getting some, (very limited) but some FAE since they are in a SGFC. I would make sure my perlite was damp AF and put a small fan in the room as to mix up the air and hopefully push enough fresh air through your 1/4" holes to add fresh air and raise humidity, and hopefully come home to some very mature, but beautiful mushies :toast:

im not sure that's the best advice but I sure do think its better then harvesting now. also keep in mind that cubes are one of the most temperate mushies to grow, and more then likely will turn out just fine.

I couldn't tell from your pics how deep your perlite is but id make sure theres a lot in there, maybe even add some to try and keep the RH as high as possible during those 4 days.

have fun at your festival :dancer:, I am a bit jealous

Where are you getting low fae from? An sgfc provides excellent fae you don't need to fan or any shit.  OP sit them in some water feed those puppies look up bottom water you should be good. Adding a fan will dry everything out so forget that too.

I had my brother come over and do it while i was at the festival. shrooms dropped their spores as well so i washed them off, threw em in the dehydrator. managed to get 19 grams but the only thing is my sub is covered in spores and a bit ripped up from taking the shrooms off. is it worth trying to get a second flush? ive already dunked them for 8 hours and put them back in the sgfc.
