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.

Get some classic cube grows under your belt and PE is a cake walk.

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.

So, how's it going? Did tub 2 and 3 turn out better?

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.

Yeah exactly.

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.

Not if you take the time and transfers to do it right and get a clean culture.

 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.
