My first tubs! Look OK after 7 days? * 1
    #27992945 - 10/10/22 10:20 PM (2 years, 3 months ago)

After attempting a spore syringe straight to grain jars (which ended horribly in contamination) I took everyone's advice and started working with agar and LC.

These are my first two 33qt tubs, 7 days in.
How do they look to you?

Granted I only used 2 qts of nocc'd grain in each tub, instead of 4 because I didn't want to mix WBS with Rye so that I could compare how each does, side-by-side. I'll prep more jars next round.

They've been given indirect light 12/24. I figure another 10-14 days before I turn a 6500k bulb on them and go to fruit?

Thanks Cozmyc.
Yeah, I need to figure out this whacky image-posting on the forum. :nut:

Because of the lower grain-to-substrate ratio I figured I would give it more time to colonize before fruiting. I'm not sure if that helps, but I'm learning.

At first I was concerned about all the white fluff showing on top, but it smells great so I'm just going to let it ride and see where this goes...

Welcome!

Looking good.
Turn them loose, go to fruiting conditions.
Keep them moist.

:goodluck:

:whathesaid: Itโ€™s currently common practice to spawn directly to fruiting conditions.

------ 14-DAY UPDATE ------
The community advice helped, and all is going well a week later.

My side-by-side test of spawning on Rye vs WBS has me leaning toward Rye. Both show some side-pins, but the WBS tub looks pretty sparse at this stage.
(the coir/gypsum substrate was prepared together and then divided into two tubs prior to adding 2 Qt grain jars in each)

QUESTION - What are your thoughts - does spawning on larger grains produce bigger fruits?  Or are there other factors that may explain the disparity? All 4 jars were inoculated with the same Golden Teacher LC syringe.

WBS

Congrats!!
Size and speed are mostly genetics. Compression and even surface layer will curb side pinning :mushroom2:

Thanks Cozmyc. Until I saw my tubs on a shelf from the side I hadn't realized that the surface was a little bit uneven.

And I was afraid to compact the substrate so I only tamped it down with the back of my fingers. I won't be so gentle next time.

Well, 2 days later, THIS happened. :mushroom2:
Holy shit, I need a lawnmower!

RYE:



That's only about 2/3 of the tub.

I'll be diligent about getting at the rest of them before the caps open!

nice. but those should be in a dehydrator and not on paper towels. paper towels reduce potency, and slow drying reduces potency

Understood. My dehydrator delivers tomorrow. Until then, I have a fan on them, with a heater in the closet.

I'm curious about the paper towels. Do you know of any link or resource that details paper towels draining psilocybin out of the mushrooms? Thanks!

It's not that they drain, its that they don't dry fast enough. I'm pretty sure Baked meant that the method causes potency loss.
