Invitro fruiting - when to harvest?
    #26503920 - 02/25/20 07:44 PM (3 years, 10 months ago)

Hi,

I'm growing pf Tek in 1/2 pint jars. One of my jars started fruiting before fully colonized and I read on the forum that it's best to leave them fruit in the jar until fully colonized. In the meantime the mushies are getting bigger, and some of them are getting brown, and a couple seem to be dying) drying out ( photos attached).
How do I know when I need to intervene? When should it be birthed? After it finishes colonizing ? What should I do about the fruits that are aborting?

Thanks so much to all the experts out there.

hi ecothrone,

something similar happened to me. you have a two options (at least):

1) birth the cakes now, removing the salvageable fruits and eat them / do your best to preserve them. if you do this you may have to remove the remaining uncolonized splotches to avoid bacterial infection in your FC, though this is far from ideal.

2) wait for 100% colonization + week of consolidation and likely dump the existing fruits in favor of future pinning.

how many other jars do you have? it may be worthwhile to execute the first option if you have others to spare, else if this is your only jar then the latter option might be most viable.

Thanks sighmun!
I have some 20 more jars at various stages of colonization. It's my first grow and things haven't been so smooth so far 😁
So I'm more concerned about getting this cake contaminated and having it contam the others somehow. Which is why I left it in the jar, but now I'm wondering if I'm going to lose that cake if I leave in the jar, given that the fruits might start rotting? If it's safe to leave it in the jar until 100% I think I'd rather do that.

Will the fruits start rotting and ruin the cake if I leave it? My guess is that it's got at least 4-5 days until full colonization.

Thanks again

hi eco, I can't really offer too much insight here since I really rather new to the Tek. I haven't read that the fruits could rot in the given timeframe but I'd argue it's certainly plausible. of your other jars, do you have many problem children? or any that are looking textbook perfect? it's definitely a learn-by-experience hobby so personally if I were you I would wait to birth this jar until a week after it's finished colonizing. if it's truly rot we see in the jar (and not sporulation) then birthing now would probably contaminate your other cakes. waiting until it's ready may instead prove better since by then you'll be sure if it's rot / innocuous. also there's no real need to keep the foil lids on--those are really for the sterilization process to prevent water from falling into the verm barrier layer on top

Cool, thanks .

Yeah, some look good, but I haven't birthed them yet, I only birthed the ones that started pinning and we're fully colonized. I lost many to mold, next time I'll definitely do a glove box.
