Mega PE Grow * 1
    #25850133 - 03/03/19 04:55 PM (5 years, 26 days ago)

So here we have three 105qt tubs. Trying to grow some mega PE dongers here. Hopefully i'll get a decent clone.



All subs are verm/coir 1:1 bucket tek. All casing is peat/verm 1:1 with one tsp hyd lime per cup of peat and gypsum @ 5-10% dry weight. The casing and general handling instructions are from LotKid's PE Tips, cept i fruit at casing and i didnt soak any of my spawn b4 hand. When i started asking questions about this everyone jst ignored me, so im basically jst reading a recipe outta some txt.




So the top tub was spawned Feb 15th with 7qts spawn, then cased after full colonization. When i spawned i used a pseudo casing and had to wait till that was fully colonized before casing it for real. I'm thnking i may have to make more casing and patch them spots. I dnt knw why, i jst heard of people doing that. Saw it in some txt.



Second tub was spawned with 7qts on Feb 22nd and cased this morning.



Third tub was spawned on Feb 28th with about 10qts and has yet to be cased. This one is gonna be interesting. I didnt have enough clean jars left over to do another 7qts, so i used my five good ones and with the other 7 or 8 jars i jst removed the colonized bits. Some where jst not yet fully colonized spawn, and some were suspect of bacterial contam due to stalled/slowed recovery after shaking, or there jst being giant uncolonized spots.

Thnx. Im glad there are some homies out there along for the ride. I was getting pretty lonely.

Johnny Dnt - I saw that. Super awesome set up. The last PE tub i did gave me one stubby angry little 2 gram shroom. All kinda knots but nothing else so we'll see. I jacked that tub up though. Surprised it gave me any.

I've got some PE jars colonizing right now. I've grown a bunch of other strains, but this is my first time messing with PE. So far I've had great success using straight coir, with some verm added as needed. I was planning on doing the same thing with PE. I know its a somewhat unique strain, and I'm prepared for it to take a bit longer pinning and shit.. But is all the extra additives and the casing necessary for PE? I was under the impression a cubes a cube, and they all basically grow the same.

I dnt knw of another cube that blobs, though there may be more varieties that do.
Most of the responses to the write up were unanamously positive towards casing.
I shud really do some research into casings in general.
Anyone got a link to some basic casing info?

Lol i hope we get some big ass dongers in here. I've never wanted to see a tub full of phallus shaped anything before now.

If some mega dongers pop outta this then i guess i cud try and get prints from it to give to you. Dnt see how that wud be any different than any other PE prints though.
It wud be rad if cud snd some petris out with cloned myc from a mega donger on it. Be good for a couple grows i guess.

I dnt thnk i want anything other than to get down how to grow these bastards hehe. Maybe Melmac or some kinda pan cyan when im ready.

Jst cased #3. #1 and #2 got patched.
Gettin' a boner. Might be pinning pretty here in a few days. Saw some serious white knots on #1 while patching.

My buddy was looking at my grow and guessed a combined dry weight of one pound. I actually thnk that might be a pretty good guess. What chall thnk? Whoever gets the closest wins a...idk, a shoe to the gift bag.

Hard to make a guess when I didn't see your spawn.  If you had really good spawn and you isolated genetics at least somewhat I would guess you should see around 1.7 pounds dry first flush.

Yeah Vital Idol! Hes still rockin a six pack and dropping panties at like 56. :hairmetal:

So i been fucking with the lids trying to get maximum fae without having to mist more than twice a day. Misting only if the casing is drying. Im home a lot so i'll remove the lid when the lighs come on, give it a decent mist, leave it open till the sub starts drying out, decent mist again then put the lid back on, upside down or course.



Got some good pinnage going on.


For some reason im worried about the actual sub getting too dry. Everything was mixed to field capacity, so im thnking i shudnt be concerned about it till after the first flush. Prolly cuz i been removing the lid its making me thnk that the sub will be too dry to give a mega first flush. Idk.

Im super concerned that these are all gonna turn out short and stubby and like 1/4 grown before they jst stop growing, like my last try at PE. At this point it wud be genetics. And that's really gonna piss me off if thats all the genetics i pull from all these MS tubs imma loose my shit.:beetlejuice:

Well if that be the case then i'd wanna know. I figure the sub is a decent thickness. Plenty of spawn. That casing gives a rad pinset. Idk.?

Just throwing it out there.  After running a few tubs, seems like when the sub is too wet, that is the ultimate pinset killer.  Along with bacterial or questionable spawn jars.  Also makes for small shrooms.

I don't know if it applies to yours or not.

What are the other 2 tubs doing?

Those are not done quite yet but are pretty small given such a sparse pinset. I suspect the substrate is overcapacity.

Well, i hydrated the subs to field capacity. I side watered #1 when the pins really started coming in. It drank it all. Side watered #2 at the same time jst to get an idea of what was going on and it didnt drink any. Sucked it back out with turkey baster. There must be something i dnt understand yet. I figure if you water a sub and it drinks it then it needed water, ya? How cud that push me over field capacity. Will it drink more that it needs and fuck up my grow?

#2 and #3 are jst doing there thing. Gotta make more casing cuz #2 peaking tru and to patch what gets removed from #1.

I don't think you had enough pins to warrant any extra watering.

Im not really sure if it will soak up more than field capacity.  If you just put coir in a tub it will take in more water than field capacity.  Its just more wet, but absorbed  But it seems that when the sub is fully colonized its much more resistant to absorption.

You have shrooms :mushroom2:  So everything is good!

Im not really a PE expert.  Don't know if too thick of a casing could be hurting your pinning, or too damp of a case. 

For what little cubes I've cased, just keep the casing damp, but not too wet, and gave it FAE.

These are unmodified 100qt tubs?  Have to had a success in them before?  could be an air exchange issue.

Are the other 2 tubs not pinning?

#2 shud start pinning this friday, and #3 about four days after that.

My casings are about 1/2" thick.

Unmodded yes. Well i grew a tub of B+ that turned out all short shrooms as well. That sub was dry. Last PE grow i got one short fat bastard, but i put that sud thru hell.

Fae...well, over the last week i been removing the lid and leaving it off for hours. So prolly good on fae.

But i really need to know what the fuck is going on here. Something is causing my shit to be all stunted and i dnt like it at all. I have a hard time believing that it's just because the sub is too wet. My B+ did same thing and it was way dry, so idk bout that.

I wouldn’t bottom water any bulk unless it had a crazy pinset and the fruits were at least an inch tall. Bottoms watering early will mess everything up. Good news is that the second flush will probably make up for it.

Bottom water something like this



To get this




Don’t bottom water this



As there is plenty of water in the sub already to support those fruits. Bottom watering at that point will hurt your yield not help it.

Ahh...gotcha. Well ass and balls, i already fucked it up. Guess i jst gotta let it dry a bit and hopefully she'll pump out some 2nd flush dongers. Kinda sounds like tub #2 is gonna do the same thing for the first flush.

I’m still waiting on my second flush it’s taking forever  to pin. I’m worried I might have burnt the mycelium using too much lime in the casing, I had no way to check the ph. I just used lot kids PE tips casing but maybe my lime was different than what he uses.

Why are some of my caps turing blue? Im guessing this will happen if you leave the lid off most of the day and only mist when the casing starts drying on the top. The caps drying a bit or something?

I actually jst misted b4 the pic. The fruits were all kinda white ashy looking. Never seen that before.

:whathesaid:

I don't bottom water during the first flush. It'll get too wet. And yes casing being too thick or too wet will hurt and not help you as well. Trust me.

As far as them getting kinda white and ashy... that's them getting dry and telling you they could use a drink. (i.e misting)

I would've cut some holes in that tub for fae but that's just me. I would've used a few more holes than I would've for classic cubes as well.

You should learn a lot from this. :super:


Oh yeah! And... :popcorn:

God fucking damnit!! I cant help but be really pissed about this. Now i basically have one fucking ounce from this first flush on this first tub, and im basically jst waiting for the other two tubs to do the same fucking thing. I have a shit feeling that im not getting a second flush outta tub #1 either.

Fuck...all that time and shit down the drain. All because my sub needed to be mixed a drop or two dryer? That must be what it is cuz my b+ came out all shrimp dick too. It really pisses me off to have to throw 2 months of preperation away. I cant express how much i really didnt need this right now. Weak, jst fucking weak.

Hang in there buddy.  If you have a less than optimal first flush, the 2nd can be way better.  Throw some pics up of the tubs, maybe someone can give some pointers.

Growing things is part science, part experience, and  a smaller part art(green thumb).  Takes time to learn and get the experience to do it well.  Keep after improving the results and you'll get what you are looking for.

Start up some more spores or jars to get the process rolling.

Yeah...
Had to bury #1 & #2. When i started ripping up sub, i grabbed a piece, squeezed it in my hand and it pissed everywhere.

I never watered #3 to fuck it up, and it's got about 10qts of spawn in it. Shud start pinning soon.
Yeah, actually 2mrrw makes week 3. I dnt see any hyphl knots or opake white dots though. Normally i'd be seeing them by now. We'll see.

PE are difficult.  I mean not if your pasty, but if you're a novice grower, they take awhile to get used to.  I tried and failed with them a bunch of times before I ever saw any success. 

I know stubby fruits aren't as aesthetically pleasing as big 'ol floppy dongs, but if the potency is there, that's what matters.  Hopefully your #3 will work out better for you.  If you get a nice cluster, make sure to take a clone.  It took me a couple clone transfers to get something I was happy with.

Yeah ur right. I first need to get this B+ i got down pat. I need to make sure i can consistantly get full size flushes. None of this short stubby shite.

Bin #3 shud be fine unless i originally mixed the sub too wet, which i dnt thnk i did. So we'll see what happens. The other bins pinned at exactly 3wks even though i fucked them up, but this bin is different. I dnt even see hyphal knots yet. It's odd, the top of the casing doesnt dry in the rear right corner like the bins in my spot normally do.

Tossed 1 & 2. #1 only gave me one flush of stubby fruits and #2 crapped out a single stub that basically aborted. I suppose i didnt have to toss them but i was fucking pissed and didnt want it around any longer.

#3 is doing ok. It is slower moving than the others. As fucked up as they were, #1&2 pinned @ 3wks on the dot. 3wks for #3 was Friday. Im jst now starting to see formation of groups of hyphal knots on the side of the sub. It's generally a healthy tub though. Smells super clean and earthy. Gives me something to mess with while my B+ plates are colonizing.

Maybe 1&2 had a hidden contam and had been stress fruiting and that’s why the 3rd is taking a bit longer to show fruits, cause it’s healthy and going about things correctly. That may also explain why they didn’t flush real good.

This tub is justa fucking off haha. Was spawned on the 28th, bout a month ago. Jst barely little knots on the side. I patched it a few times but the surface is getting uneven, and i dnt want the casing to be too thick.

True.  I just never used a casing layer before trying PE.  Plus the gotdamn blobs that I get every time I start from scratch.  Also took me a few tries to realize that PE are water hogs.

Still no top pins. Jst one or two small side pins.
At this point i almost feel that since i jst went from syringe to agar but didnt clean, only to make a large enough volume of myc to get grain going and crap it in a tub, that who fucking knows wats gonna happen with this monstrousity.

I jst realized that the route i keep taking poses a greater risk of contamination than syinge directly to grain.

I made these tubs on 3/23. These pictures were actually taken after I'd already harvested all the largest fruits, I didn't take any pictures before. I've gotten about 4oz dry between the 3 of them so far. But damn, I did end up getting lot of blobs and huge fat balls with caps on them. Seems like the newer pins that are coming in look more normal. I've got more PE tubs colonizing now, which I plan on mostly casing to see if that makes an improvement.

Even with all the blobs and shit, the fruits have been so dense and dry so heavy. First time messing with PE and I'm intrigued at the possibility.
