Hey, guys!  First-time grower, spending untold hours reading all your stuff, like a proper rookie.

I’ve noc-ed up a few jars of several different strains, and my first APE jar has pins!  It’s only been fully colonized for about 3 days, and I was going to wait 1-2 weeks and let the rest catch up. I’ve heard that APE can be finicky, so I don’t want to mess it up. Is it okay to leave it for a little longer?

Thanks in advance!

That jar is ready best to spawn it. Waiting isn't doing anything now its ready to go

Thank you both!  Turns out there are pins in three other APE jars too!  Looks like I’m giving birth tonight. :smile:

They’ll just be a little lonely in my SGFC for a couple days until everybody else is ready.

Appreciate your input!

LotKid, I just read your PE tips. I hope I know enough to use them someday!

You can sing to them if you want. Just dont expect it to help growth at all. :lol:

You probably know enough now. Those tips are just a basic guidline if youre having blob troubles. Nothing difficult about it. And can vary a bit from culture to culture.

Ha!

I’ll take whatever can apply to PF tek, and thanks!  You don’t think three days is too little time to consolidate?

I prolly shouldn’t have started with APE, but my (so far) only up-close experience with mushrooms was APE. It was hands-down the most extraordinary thing I’ve ever experienced - so I’m partial to it. :smile:

Yep - three days. I just didn’t want them to go too long, but the pins are really small.

I misted thoroughly every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours, per RR’s video. Now I’m worried maybe I overdid it, but my Perlite feels kinda dry, even though I rinsed the heck out of it. My crappy gauge says it’s at 89% humidity.

Is there such a thing as draining your Perlite too well?  I actually added a bit of water to it in the terrarium. I figure any extra will drain out the bottom holes anyway.

I guess I’m going to try misting/fanning 3-ish times per day, and maybe some extra on the Perlite?

the SGFC only works if its packed with cakes. you should put those guys in something smaller. even ziploc bags would be ok. small containers with one little breathing hole and some wet perlite or verm

and dont fan. ever

I have more cakes to put in there in 2-3 days.  Is that too long for them to hang out in there?

I’ve seen conflicting info about the fanning. Why not ever?

Thanks for the response!

I have around 20 cakes (two might be contaminated). So…fairly. And I’m inoculating more tonight.

I pushed the four closer together - not sure if that helps at all.

Doubt you will ever see anyone here suggest fanning. That's an old tek and pretty much everyone uses FAE now.

Here’s how it looks now. I have more cakes coming, but they won’t be ready for a few weeks. Do y’all think I should space the ones in the SGFC out or leave them how they are?

(I just closed the window for the pic.)

oh idk im just saying the holes are typically left uncovered for gas exchange so maybe the closed tub is defeating that purpose. i always leave mine out. good to see so many cakes! i hate when ppl only knock up 3 or 4 like cmon just dive in

The quantity is the part I liked.  I keep mine in a cardboard box with the flaps open so it stacks well. 

If I were to do more pf tek more often I would have to come up with a better way to store them.  Probably just stacked on top of each other on a shelf.

:popcorn:
and now try not to open the tote 27 times a day to check or handle them for no particular reason but curiosity;)
its not easy but the more you just leave them alone and keep them in a steady environment with high humidity  the better.

i would not have put all the eggs in one basket but as you are going for this kind of fruiting chamber it is really looking good what you have done there.
keep us posted!

Tape 1/2 the holes and mist, if I were you.

I’ve read on here that taping up holes will make my SGFC not work right. But I’ll add some water to the vermiculite on top and bottom.

I am right behind you with my cakes in the box.  I went with a water method, but filled the bottom with perlite to serve as a floor (I had a bunch in the shed) and adjust the lid to just not have condensation by mid day.  They get a morning misting, and I close the lid at night up up the humidity.  I see it as simulating the day cycle and gives me enough interaction to mitigate my impatience.

Lots of methods don't modify the tub.  I like the unmodified tubs because I like to be lazy.  I don't know if that will bite me or not.  Time will tell. 

Also I think something to keep in mind is the season.  Your tub tuning will be different season to season as your heater kicks on and the air dries you will want less holes than the spring/summer when humidity might be higher.

Awesome!  Good luck with those babies!

This time around, I’m following the RR pf tek. He seems to do all right! 😆

And I’m in SE Florida, so it’s still mid-80s here!

So far I’ve gotten about 6 grams dry. There are tons of pins - we’ll see how they do!

Super excited about trying a shoebox next!

This is so much fun!!!

These APEs aren’t very APE-y. I have some from one of the sponsored vendors colonizing that might look better.

Looking good :goodwork:
Your ape looks ape-y to me I wouldnt worry about the look doesn't matter they'll still knock your socks off.

Your regular cubensis is looking nice too

Cool! APEs have variation in appearance, just like all cubes. Looking good. Adding more wet perlite also helps with preventing SGFC dry-out.

Thank you both! 

If this is even close to as wonderful as the APE I had in my first experience, it’ll be perfect!  :smile:  I also have KSS, Purple Mystic, TAT, and Treasure Coast in here and more APE, Costa Rica, and B+ colonizing. Go big or….haha.

And great idea - I’ve got tons more perlite.

They look amazing!  Mine are still colonising, but getting close.  I reckon another week or so before I get to birth them - with any luck it's going to be a magical Xmas :crazy2:

Nice Shrooms!

And I wouldn't call it a failure. Even if it is not what you wanted, it's a good learning experience ;-) You are doing great work! Keep it up and soon it will reward you with a shitload of shrooms :laugh:

Thanks!  That’s the way I see it!  I wasn’t even enamored with this mushroom- just wanted to give cloning a try. The other one looks better, so far…

LC - I was trying to clone using a piece scraped from the inside of the stem. Apparently, my sterilization practices need some work!  :smile:
