Equador grow so I have more mushrooms during The Apocalypse 2
#26845134 - 07/25/20 08:14 PM (3 years, 6 months ago) |
|

Just in case the second half of 2020 includes WW3 or some shit, I decided to start another run. I'm just beginning this so it's gonna start slowly...
I made 4 pasty plates with Equador spore solution I have had for a few years.
7/22

7/25

This is the most rapid plate so I will turn this into 6 or so plates Monday and start 6 masters by tiger dropping those 6 transferred plates next. Plan is to run a bunch of shoe boxes, grow too much, get paranoid etc.

Looks good to me. Will put it to grain this week. I wish I had the space for a flow hood, tired of these pastys but... they work so

Lots of cultivators on here, including myself, have great success pouring plates in a SAB. If you havent already, you should give it a try! I rarely get contams and it's always when I'm in a rush and trying to do too much at once.

Staying on schedule. Made 8 masters and 3 new transfers to keep the culture moving along. Used Bod's easy as fuck oat tek this is my first time ever not using rye berries so I switched it up.

Same jars as above, I lost jar #8 to some contam, I looked closely in the jar and could see one of my arm hairs on top of the grains lol

Tomorrow I will make 6 shoe boxes and grain to grain jar 7 and just keep cranking stuff out. Thanks for following along with this anyone who has read it so far. I have had a very bad couple of weeks and the shroomery and cultivation has given me something to look forward to. Can't wait to see how these go.

Yea man you have some good looking cultures. They’re much easier to clean/isolate/work with than no pours IME.
Plus they show off the sexiness:
15 cultures ready for oat jar inoculation tonight - while I’m at it I’m going to take two transfers each of these and turn it into 30 more culture plates

Yea These pastys are a pain in the ass, I know most people use them to segway into pouring plates, I kinda just got stunted and kept using them lol.
I grow like once every other year, sometimes even less. This run has been very enjoyable though, maybe I will move on finally and pour plates. I thought, for whatever reason, that you needed a flow hood but I was wrong. Makes sense too, I have 15 years experience getting away with just a SAB, why wouldn't pouring in one work... just never thought into it lol

Yeah I poured in an SAB for 2 years. I honestly cant remember ever losing a plate to a bad pour. I use a combination of pour agar and pastys. Pastys are definitely nice for inoculating grain, LI's, etc.

Pouring is easy, I just use a quart jar to do it and it always works out.

I love using real plates for cleaning and isolation, but tiger dropping is superior to fiddling with wedges from a plate. so i switch back and forth

That’s a good point and if I didn’t use D3’s tek for transfers then I’d be way more into no pours. I’m sure it just takes practice but working with that scalpel wasn’t as clean as I’d wanted it to be. As it is I hate doing wedges to inoculate. I’d rather just cut a circle and go a puck per jar lol

Munch am I supposed to be misting these shoeboxes as they are colonizing? I opened it and there's no beads of water so I gave it a nice misting, I don't remember what I was doing a few years ago. Pretty much looks 100% colonized now too and it's been 6 days since spawning so I am guessing I will see pins in the next 10 days or so.

if the shoeboxes are just sitting out in your room, they may need a slight misting. what I do to get beads of moisture on my shoeboxes is to let them colonize with the lids on in a monotub with a layer of micropore over the holes. I fit 4 to a monotub while colonizing, then remove the lids and fruit 2 to a mono. keeps the FAE to a minimum optimal levels in the shoeboxes, so they don't dry out.

Yea I noticed the other night I had my window open with a fan in and was like Yea that can't have been good for the tubs all night, took a peak and seen no water beads so I'll just mist them every morning and be careful.
Gonna feel like Christmas when I see the first pins again

Only 24 hours later. Every time I open these things I have to most them, the surface stays lookin dry but whatever, maybe it's because it's just 1 jar spawn to 1 jar sub

I don't know what climate you are in but don't mist too much. As long as water beads are building up on the walls and roof of the tub you should be ok. I usually only need to mist heavily once I spawn to get the first flush.
My temps in my grow space are around 70-75 at the highest.
Either way looking good!

Fuck yeah Ecuadors! Only strain I have grown so far. I usually don't get them that tall, even in a mono at least the first flush. 2nd and 3rd I have had fruits that long and big too. There seems to be two phenotypes going on in my MS variety, or some other reason. They are usually short and grow in bunches.

A sterile arm hair or ten isn't an issue.
Unless you mean it was introduced at inoculation- in which case, nevermind- that's definitely an issue, heh.
