A Pantastic Growlog! 1
#27023734 - 11/05/20 05:55 PM (3 years, 3 months ago) |

I tried my luck with pans in the past but without success. I have a fairly good idea what I did wrong and I'll do my best not to make the same mistakes again. For this growlog I'm going to be trying different strategies and I'm not going to quit until I see results.
Very recently jcm4620 very generously gifted me some Panaeolus prints. I inoculated 2 PF-tek pucks on 30 October and already have some growth on both pucks.
I'm excited to be doing this. 
6 November.

10 November.

Both plates are looking something like this today.
I poked the less puffy looking sectors and I made a couple LC's. Each got 250ml H2O, 1% LME and 0.1% agar. Went a lot heavier on the LME this time than my usual 0.2%. Threw a couple stir bars in both jars, too.
I expect the LC's to be ready very soon, like 5-6 days, so I'm getting the bulk material tomorrow and will start preparing it asap. Sourced some almost fresh poo that's probably going to need some leaching.
18 November.
 
Some thick agar LC and syringe jam packed full of myc.

Inoculated 17 jars. It is a mix of brown rice and millet. There was some minor clumping in some jars caused by the rice so it's not something I would recommend.

Excellent! I was planning on panning, but didn't realize I can only buy manure during the spring, and asking ranchers for some at this time of year would seem weird I'd think.
I'll definitely be watching this

Also, you said you had mistakes on the first grow. Can you list those mistakes?

Yes. The mistakes were many, looking back I have to admit it was really a half-assed attempt.
- I used some questionable cheap grain that made the spawn a little bacterial and pans do seem to be very sensitive to bacteria.
- I used a high spawn ratio.
- I used some composted store-bought hpoo that also contained stuff that wasn't poo.
- The final bulk substrate felt too heavy and muddy, not airy at all. I should have used some straw too.
- I couldn't find peat to make the casings so I bought something similar to Jiffy mix but it also contained coir and I made the casings too thick. Myc overlaid the hell out of the casings in all cases.
- The fruiting chambers I used were subpar to put it nicely.

It's something I started doing fairly recently but I'm loving it so far. It speeds up the colonization of the broth and myc colonizes the broth very thoroughly too, no visible uncolonized parts of the broth to be seen like with regular LC's. The recovery on grain is also faster and it doesn't pool as much at the bottom after inoculation.

Yea man I abandoned it for the time being, have some jars that are colonizing invitro though, so when they finish colonizing I may update this.
The original project failed anyway and I just didn't feel like updating anything because I got completely sidetracked with other projects.
Got some bad quality dusty poo, mixed with verm and straw, pasteurized and left the jars on a shelf for a few days before spawning. When I opened the jars they gave off a bad smelled but I spawned them anyway and the trays simply stalled out on me. These are the trays 10 days after spawning.

Thanks for asking, will get back to it as soon as I can. Thanks to jmc for the awesome prints.

He needs good quality shit lol. How are there not sheep or some shit in Spain. What's the benefit of the EU if you can't even get jars, manure or tubs? Have you written to your leaders?

Yeah lol it's quite the situation. I'm sure there must be good shit round these parts I just don't know where to look, it's proven very difficult so far. Drove half an hour to get that shitty shit

Probably the only benefit is that it's not a felony here  Other than that it sucks big time growing where I am.

Broke up 3 cakes per tray, made 2 trays, they smelled nice (straw, shitty poo, verm and hydrated with rice broth). Zero game plan for fruiting when they're ready. Maybe I'll build a chamber like jcm's.

Yea I been wanting to do a small chamber like his as well. Don’t really want to go the whole mini greenhouse route. Just something big enough to do a pan or two.

Ok so here they are 10 days later. They recolonized very quickly but I let them consolidate for a week or so.
Just now I applied a very thin casing on both and closed the lids again. My plan is to let the trays consolidate for a couple days after I see some colonization of the casing and then introduce them to fruiting conditions.
Appreciate any opinions or critique (especially from jcm). How do they look? It's my plan sound at all? Please be ruthless if you have to.
