Partially colonized WBS question
#27078047 - 12/08/20 12:39 AM (3 years, 1 month ago) |
|
|
I have three WBS quart jars colonizing at the moment, which are supposed to be my spawn for an upcoming grow. Two of them started colonizing right away at about the same rate, the other one took a little longer to get started and continued to colonize slower. I shook all three at the same time because I was going out of town for a few days and didn't want the two faster jars to colonize too much before the shake. The two jars were about 30-40% colonized when I shook them, the slower one was probably less than 10% (I was hoping some of the middle was colonized where I couldn't see). When I came back a few days later, all three seemed to be colonizing healthily, but the one was still not nearly as far along as the others. I gave the slower one a second shake today, seeing if I might be able to get it to speed up and catch up to the others (now almost fully colonized).
So my question is, should I spawn the partially colonized one with the others when they hit 100%, or wait until the last one finishes and lose some of the vigor of the myc in the other two? I realize neither are ideal, just wondering if anyone can lend insight into which course of action would be preferable over the other and why.
Worst case scenario, I'll just scale down this upcoming grow and have a master leftover for some G2G transfers or something.

DO not spawn anything uncolonized. Available nutrition (mold food) will be eaten and consumed by the most active and aggressive life form around. Imperfect fungi will take hold, reproduce and completely fuck off everything you've got going.
Either spawn jars that are ready in smaller totes (shoeboxes) or wait for the last one. You aren't going to lose vigor over a couple of days.
PS. posting pics really helps people know what's going on. As it stands I have no idea how far behind or ahead one jar is from another.

Thank you! I only thought to take a pic after shaking the one, which just looks totally uncolonized now because of the shake. I'll try to remember to document things better in the future.
I'm gonna let them do their thing, if the one takes too long to finish up I will do a smaller shoe box or something, thanks again for the advice!

Here's an update now that the myc has recovered a bit, with one of the other jars for comparison. Think I'm gonna try to just let this last one finish colonizing

Your 3rd jar may be a bit bacterial. I would spawn the 2 together and it by itself or just run 3 shoeboxes which is the safest route. If that one is bacterial it will cause the rest to teeter ouy prematurely. Sometimes I will spawn jars like that and usually get 1 or 2 flushes before the green comes. Doesn't happen very often anymore though. Good luck with your grow

It may be but jars can look that way if you shake late. Unless you're talking about something else. What exactly makes you think it's bacterial?

Yes I waited and used them all at once, spawned early this morning. The last jar looked like the others by then. I gave them all a good sniff before adding them to my sub and nothing funky, so fingers crossed. I'll post pics soon, but I'll probably start a new thread and just do a whole grow log. Thanks for all the input!

I didn't see anything that made me think of bacteria. Looked like it was just catching up from a late shake.
Why not just carry on with this post and do the grow log here?

When you shook the jar a second time before letting everything reknit you can slow it down. Once I shake I do not touch again most of the time. This reduced contam for me. Some take more time than others. If I’m desperate for that other jar I have just brushed off the uncolonized parts, if that is not possible then DONT SPAWN. Well at least when I spawned uncolonized I got contam. If the jar looked like the others though then it was just a slow starter. Glad to hear the last jar caught up. Don’t introduce to fruiting too early now!

Just thought posting the whole grow on here might be getting a little off the original topic, but hey if y'all are still here and don't mind why not. I spawned those jars (about 2qt total) to 1 brick of coir with 2qt verm and 1 1/2 cups gypsum. Here's my little 46qt mono

I cut circles out of these polyester filter sheets and put them in those vents

That way I can easily pop the whole vents out when I mist so I don't get the filters all wet, and I figured it's neat and clean and easy to replace, and to make adjustments by adding or taking away layers. I did 1 layer in the top vents and 2 in the bottom for now.
For this grow, I just put it directly into fruiting conditions. I'll definitely try letting some tubs colonize first with future grows, but my tub has one of those weathertight lids and I didn't wanna worry about fussing with dialing in the right amount of GE for colonization. BOD and many others seem to have good luck going directly to fruting, so I'm hoping I'll be okay.

I realize I'm probably experimenting a little too much for my lack of experience, but alas. I'll be back with updates soon

Oh, and this was from a MS syringe. Or part of one anyway.
And I realize that spawn ratio is pretty low, that was from 5 dry cups of WBS which I expected to expand a lot more (I pretty much followed Frank's WBS Prep, which says it should expand 3-4x, mine only expanded like 1 1/2x). I'm sure I did something wrong, still not sure what but it seems to have still worked okay. I am a little worried about having used that little spawn though

The spawn ratio will be fine if the spawn was clean. You just won't pull as much product out as you would have with more spawn and it'll take a little longer to colonize.
You don't have to dial in conditions if you're just sealing her up to colonized. Anything will work as long as it's not airtight or letting in so much air that it dries out.
Yes, you are experimenting a bit much for a beginner. Just be sure that you aren't drying out too much and watch and learn.

I really appreciate all the advice and feedback! I've been checking it daily and misted it a couple times to make sure it's not drying out too much. Here's where it's at now

Thank you! and no, just a cheap petco terrarium thermometer. There was a hygrometer too but I was told I probably wouldn't get very accurate readings from it so I gave it away, I wanna be able to eyeball good moisture/humidity anyway

Lol you put actual vents in your tub? Are they adjustable or full throttle 100% of the time? Keep an eye on your sub to make sure it doesn't dry out from all that FAE

The vents have polyester discs I cut from these filter sheets in them! Might add more layers as I dial it in

So as far as sealing it up during colonization for future grows, basically my lid comes with this removable weatherseal gasket thing, if I leave it in and latch on the lid it's totally airtight, and if I take it out it leaves a kinda large gap (a little bigger than the gap between the tub and lid on a standard tub) to the point where I'm worried taking the seal out would dry out the substrate too much. Do you think leaving it in but not latching the lid down would work for colonization? With tape over all the vent holes
Or would just throwing the whole thing in a bag be better?

These were taken about 15 hrs after that last one
 I've never had the myc grow all spiky like that before, that's aerial mycelium right?

Looks good. Nothing bad to report. Can't comment on FAE from those pics though. I'd just let her keep chugging along and report back upon full colonization.

Knots indeed. It's looking a tad dry in there. At this point in colonization you should see little water sparkles all over the surface. How's the airflow around the FAE holes lookin?

I've been misting daily most days, I did go a couple days without because I was worried I was overdoing it. Just gave it another good misting after taking that pic
FAE is looking good from what I can tell, got lines running down from the top holes. I'll snap a pic when I get home tonight

If it's drying out that fast you've got more FAE than the standard mono. That's fine. They actually love it, so long as you don't wait too long between misting sessions.
The pic looks good. I don't know how people get such rhizo growth out of their surfaces. I have never seen that in one of my grows.

These are from last night



Made a bit of a concerning discovery this morning, my dumbass left a bunch of BRF jars that never germinated in the corner of the room, I totally forgot about them and just found them all full of mold. My tub itself is shut in the closet but I've been opening it to mist and take pics in the room, so I'm a little worried about having introduced contams

Even if you hadn't opened the mono spores would be getting in if they were floating around in the air (AKA are getting in because they are in the air). Even so, your tub will be fine if it doesn't already have contams growing in it.

If i'm not mistaken, you're gonna get crazy side/bottom pinning in there though since you didn't put in a black liner, but this looks fantastic dude. I havent moved to bulk yet but i've been looking at a LOT of grows on here and yours looks great for an experienced grower, let alone a noob like you or me

Your opinion is wrong (in my opinion). If he gets crazy bottom and side pinning it will be a result of improper surface conditions couple with genetic preference. Liners can absolutely make it easier to avoid side pins though.
Looking pretty sexy, OP. Can you see much primordia in the middle? May have just gotten a smidge thicker top layer and be a tad behind. That'll happen sometimes.

I will definitely try some grows with liners so I can compare, but I really wanted to be able to see everything going on this first attempt at bulk. There do seem to be a small amount of side pins forming that perhaps a liner could have prevented

Mostly just knots in the middle at this point, some primordia though. I think you're right that I made the top layer too thick in the middle, I also think I just made it a little too thick in general

Those are squished stems, I was trying to show some of the side pins I'm getting. I realize that isn't very clear in the picture

I probably will go with a liner next time, and make sure I do a thinner, more even top layer. Everything seems good other than those side pins and the uneven pinset. Are some of these looking ready to harvest?

Yes, all the ones with the veils torn can be taken. It depends on how much you care about bag appeal. If you don't care then you can let them go longer. They'll drop spores all over if you let them go much longer, though.
Evenness in a top layer is very important, if you want the entire surface to pin at the same time.

Yeah I was hoping they'd get a little bigger but the veils all seem to be breaking while they're still tiny. Don't think any (of this flush, at least) are gonna get too much bigger based on how skinny the stems are

Good job.
Tiny fruits happen. Sometimes it's this and other times that. I'd have to had been around and really watched close to say what I think in this case. Sometimes it's just the genetics. I completely quit growing one of my cultures after it gave me tub after tub of tiny fruits.

Thank you! My last grow gave me pretty tiny fruits on the first flush too, but then they got quite a bit bigger
 
but that was in a pretty drastically different FC with different sub and spawn, so not really expecting a similar pattern this time around. But here's to hoping. Small fruits or not, still happy and grateful for a successful grow. Thanks again for all the help!
Here's before and after tonight's harvest:

A little bonus to tiny fruits is you can fit a lot more in small spaces (like those quart jars).
They're also nice if you like microdosing.

I got this water starting to pool around the bottom, I tried to siphon it out but there's so little water and so little space I couldn't really get any
 (sorry for the shitty pic, but that bottom line is the water). I've read that it's fine to have some pooling, but I'm concerned because the surface of the sub is looking pretty dry. I don't wanna let that dry out but I don't wanna make the pooling worse, what should I do? Will it just soak it up if I leave it? Should I leave the lid off or run a fan or something, or will that just dry out the substrate more?

Tub in tub!
If there's no fruits place an identical tub inside your tub with the sub and tip upside down into the drain.
Suspect though, a healthy sub should suck that water up.

Ooh clever! I was planning on buying an identical tub anyway so I can run multiple monos at once, there are a good few fruits coming along on there but if it doesn't soak up soon I'll probably cut my losses, harvest them a little early and give that a try
Thanks!

You can tilt the tub and use your hand to keep the sub from falling over. May take some strategic finger placement depending on flush density and fruit location but it's entirely doable. Just slowly tip and be sure to spread fingers wide and offer support to as big an area as possible. Then pour the water off.
Or, just leave it there until harvest. I've never seen contams come.from it but the sub will get slimey as fuck I'm that spot.

2nd flush coming along! Fruits are a little bigger but still on the small side
  
 I harvested a few this morning before work and started dehydrating them before I realised no one was gonna be around to turn off the dehydrator. I didn't wanna run it all day so I threw them in a ziploc after about 5-10min in the dehydrator, and put them in the fridge until I got home. Came home to finish the job tonight and they'd gone super dark, almost black. Oxidation I guess? Was surprised to see that only 8 hours did that much but upon further reading I'm seeing plastic bags are not recommended for fresh fruits, guess that's why. I finished drying them any way, but I don't know if they're still any good

Hmmm after only a few hours idk let others chime in interested though. next time use a paper bag or napkin in the plastic bag with it slightly open so they don’t bruise up and get all wet.

Possibly something to do with the fact that he had them in the dehydrator for a sec first. I imagine they shrunk a bit, stressing some tissues to allow for quicker oxidation once he changed his mind and threw them in the fridge. Should've just stuck with one or the other IMO

I was thinking it probably was something like that, I'm guessing it's no good so I'm keeping it separate for now. I'm just glad it wasn't too many

Next time just throw them in the dehydrator. I regularly leave loads for 48 hours with 0 issues or degradation. That heat kills magic crap is an old myth.

 I dunked it after harvesting the last of the second flush and that's what happened when I tried to dump the water out, guess I shouldn't have tilted it so far. Oh well, got two solid flushes out of it first

Heh a sub jigsaw puzzle
Hope it recovers for you - for my first tub I followed Bod's unmodified tub tek - harvesting made easy by filling tub with water to raise it to the top, snippedy snip the shrooms then syphon the water out with a short length of garden hose and you have dunked and harvested at the same time!
Maybe something to try with a future tub? I liked the efficiency/simplicity of it.

I actually used bod's harvesting tek on the first flush! It worked great, but with this tub I had to tape up the holes which made it kind of a pain, and there were so few fruits left to harvest of this flush at the end that it wasn't worth the effort this time, so I just filled it with enough water to submerge it and let it soak for 24 hours. Might try some unmodded tubs soon though!

They can flush fine after breaking but generally don't break unless they are over hydrated and or harboring contams.

Gotcha, yeah I'm guessing this shallow of a sub/this saturated probably caused it. I thought it might be contams because it was moving pretty slow for a second there, but seems to be back in business no funky smell or nothin
