First grow using Pf tek with some questions.
    #25620464 - 11/17/18 08:38 AM (6 years, 2 months ago)

Hey all! Hope everyone is happy and doing well!
So after 25 years of consuming these wonderful fungi I have decided to dip my feet into the water using the pf tek to get an understanding of how these wonderful creatures grow.
I let my jars colonize 100% and gave them a week to consolidate before I dunked them. That was last Friday. I rolled them in verm on Saturday night and am off to the races!
After four days I noticed my first pin. Since then I haven't seen anything else on any of the other cakes. They have been in fruiting conditions for a week now. My temps are a pretty steady 75 degrees in my SCFC.
My question is, generally how long does it take for brf cakes to take off and start fruiting?
Here are some pics of my setup...

My SGFC. I'm really proud of this thing!







My pin...



Thanks in advance for any info!!!

Hm. I would think you should see more pins any day now. what strain are they? some strains take a little longer to pin.

They are PES Hawaiian from a very reputable source.
I am seriously happy to have one mushroom. I am a very patient person. The cakes are still looking great so I still have faith that they will give me something! The one that is growing is getting big! I have been inspired by this grow so far!

I think I see metabolites. Are you sure they were all clean cakes?

I had to ditch one of them. But I didnt dunk it with the others because it was questionable. I even kept it on the other side of the house. It Eventually turned pink/red and it went into the outside pile.

My cakes are a little blue, but they still smell like cubensis. I think I'm having a hard time keeping my humidity up. I saw some pretty blue cakes that had a ton of fruit on them. I'm not worried yet.
Unless I should be???

As long as it is blue and not green, though that maybe be it drying out. That's why cakes typically benefit from humidity chambers

I really need to look into one. I really thought the SGFC was the way to go. Now that I have my feet wet, I think it's time to try a bulk grow. This has been a great learning experience so far!
Thank yiu!
