First time, PF Tek, 5 cakes, Results + questions
    #25155404 - 04/21/18 01:19 PM (5 years, 9 months ago)

Ok inoculated 12 cakes, 6 from one syringe 6 from another. 6 from 1 syringe were all contaminated, and 1 from the good syringe was contaminated. The attached photo is cake #5 from the good syringe that had a nickel sized greenish/blue spot on the top of cake when I put it in the grow container. The bottom/side growth looks good but the top looks bad. Should I throw this cake out ASAP?

Dunk after harvest, keep it glistening from misting

Cake looks little scary, is it more bluish,purple, or more greenish? Hard to tell from pic.
Im not one who can tell you what to do... just curious.

Misted thanks. I thought it was best to spray perlite and not mist/spray cakes directly.. thoughts?

Thanks! Excited for this first yield but thinking about quickly switching to something other than PF tek, what's the next transition in my journey to massive mushroom growth? Lol

It's definitely more blue now, but what has me worried is it was more green and nickel sized at the end of incubation.

Btw, buckethead the guitarist is amazing

Mist cakes direcrly, overspray keeps perlite damp

The blue, cracked caps, and visible picture... that cake is way dry. Mushrooms dont grow on the perlite, that is only used to keep enviroment humid. Glistening surface of cake will give better pin set for a better yield.

Wow that yield looks great. Nice job. Is that PF Tek? Can you give me the down and dirty on what you did? Number of syringes: number of cakes, type of spores, inoculation technique, incubation time? Dunk n roll? Any help for a newbie would be greatly appreciated!

If you are looking for a bulk yield, like 1/2 pound dry? Look into agar, grain spawns, and move to a monotub

1/4+ pound dry would be great for a bulk. Thanks for the advice I'll do my research

I use 1 syringe for 12 jars, about 4 weeks of colonizing. Once consolidated and solid birth, dunk 24 hours, roll in fine course vermiculite, and place in shotgun fruiting chamber. Room temperature and damp perlite. After 5 hours start the misting. Mist directly to a glisten and allow time to evaporate, i mist about 2 times a day. May take 2 weeks but once pinsets are in you can easy on the misting so fruits dont saturate, or bottom water. Your surface conditions are most important to get the best yield. A still air box and sterile techniques will keep contaminations away. Syringe is luck of the draw with genetics. Will get all kinds of sizes and shapes of fruits. Read up on teks and follow very precisely. You got fruits and results, you did great for a first grow. Focus more on aurface conditions and dont over think and complicate things

This ia my first grow. Whole setup and fruiting chamber was all wrong. No roll after dunk. You did better than i did, so great job!! Keep practicing and you will be drying ounces in no time
