PF TEK SUCCESS - First Harvest! * 4
    #27467824 - 09/14/21 09:28 AM (3 years, 4 months ago)

Hey guys/ gals,

I'm so excited I just had to share with you!
I just harvested my first mushrooms today!

I started a PF Tek about 5 weeks ago (following RR's videos and also reading everything I could find online here).

It was a multi spore inoculation, colonization took about 2-3weeks + 1 week to let them consolidate.

They have been fruiting in a SGFC built to TEK. A bit of trail and error was necessary to dial in my misting, in order to achieve correct humidity.

Once my cakes were in SGFC, I had a bit of a scare with two of the cakes displaying signs of cobweb mold....
I know cobweb mold is commonly misidentified, but I am almost certain that that's what it was, it was noticeably different to any myc I have seen and way darker. Definitely grey!
Not a nice thing to find, got quite worried about having a contam so close to end goal.
I started to imagine all my cakes getting it and losing everything (I know, I know.... it's my first time, I'm anxious!)

Luckily, thanks to the information available here, I have been dealing with it.

I have been treating those 2 cakes with peroxyde 2 times a day and it looks like I've managed to kill the mold! YAY!

I'm keeping a close eye on them though!

I am assuming the contams either happened during colonization or was a result of poor technique during MS inoculation, maybe my cakes were not well sterilized? Any thoughts on that would be helpful so as to improve for the next run.

Other than that they seem to like the SGFC it's pin city in there since yesterday!

I had two early growers that grew incredibly fast! (I know where I'm gonna be cloning from!)

Today I came home to partially cracked veils and decided to harvest the 2 that were ready now.



I am so incredibly happy! It's been such an incredible process and I feel honoured to have been granted success on my first attempt! It's taught me so much already.
A real rollercoaster!

I am super grateful for all of you and this forum. Without the information available here, I would never have succeeded on my first try!

It's not over yet though, I've got pasty plates in my cupboard with some isolates I've been keeping myself busy with. (I used remaining MS syringe to inoculate some agar).

I'm going to clone my best fruiters to agar. Next step will be attempting to make a LI syringe to inoc my next batch of PF cakes from the clones.

Please let me know If any of what I'm saying seems wrong or if you have any tips you can think of! I'm eager to improve!

And here are some photos of my babies :wink:







One love, take care!

Nice job!! Feels so satisfying completing the 1st grow!! Contam issue you mentioned how do you cover you gas exchange holes? Tyvek worked for shit for me I use 1x piece of durapore and 1x piece of micropore, in that order it’s good for 2-3 pc runs, No mods pp5s are great also, check out this tek for cloning… https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/27078116…..
  i personally don’t like lc/li I run a modified tv causality slurry in a hurry, 3 day colonization times! I run dry slurries with amazing results!  I like to see and know what is clean and what is not. Lc can be a gamble, I prefer master spawn jars and my blades are siliconed to small mouth jar ring with no ge holes, I’ve had one of these sitting for 3 months so I’d assume they still get ge not much bc hasn’t fruited looks like it’s gonna and it’s not dead lol
