How to get a good pinset with PF Tek?
    #24255800 - 04/18/17 11:17 PM (7 years, 8 months ago)

I'm planning my second grow and want a better yield. How can I get a pinset like these?

   

This is from my first grow, second flush
edit: they're P. Cubensis B+ strain. I've used a 150ml (1/3 pint) jar

if you want to up your yield spawn your cakes to coco/verm trays.

Did you dunk the cakes for close to 24 hours?

Here are some of mine from past fall.



I say you need a solid dunk, between 20 and 24 hours. A really really good roll in vermiculite. Like you should not be able to see mycelium.
3rd is a GOOD light source, ambient light from a window is best. Otherwise a bulb between 5000 and 6500k, it says on the packaging, and make sure it is bright. These seem to be big issues for a pin set.

Also what mushboy said will work lol.

That's the best looking cakes I've seen. Wow. Olympic level shit there.
Most people don't get that level, at least not without work.
And for all that, you could just make a tub or tray like mush sed , and get 5x That yield I imagine.

O yea, also I use wide mouth pint jars. I had 12 pint cakes this past fall, final avg for 1st flush was 6.2 or 6.3 grams each. The ones in the pic were over 8g each, some les yielding ones lowered my avg. I got just under 3oz of 12 cake on 1st flush alone.

For the first flush I've dunked them for 14 hours and for the second only 6 hours, maybe that's the reason I'm getting such low yields?
I did use a bright 6500k lightbulb though

Honestly when I did my 1st flush they were still sitting in a spot where they got light through the curtains. That end was the best yielding cakes, the other end that only got light from a bulb had a lower yield. I think the intensity could be part of it. These things grow in fields of grass, not the forest, so cubes would naturally get more light than a mushroom that grows in the forest under trees that filter the light. This is leading me to believe that more intense light really may help them pin more. There are many factors that go into it. I would say it was more likely the lack of a good casing layer.

Yea, that's why the tek says 24 hrs.
The people before us did the leg work.

NOW this does NOT mean I am saying to put a 400W grow light right over your tub. That would be bad, would dry it the fuck out.

Make sure you don't go much past 24 hours. I remember reading something about that being bad for them. I think it chokes out the mycelium, hey they got to breath a little to.
