2 Monotubs of Amazon (second time's the charm?)
    #28477517 - 09/21/23 10:15 AM (1 year, 3 months ago)

I have spawned 10 grain jars (5 each) of Amazon to two separate monotubs using a mixture of coir, verm, and a small amount of gypsum as bulk substrate. Field capacity was carefully considered. Much less water was used compared to my first (failed) attempt.

The grain jars were inoculated with (poorly isolated) agar samples. It is likely that there are more than 1 strain in each monotub. The monotubs have been labeled A and B, after the agar lineages they were spawned with. Both monotubs use the same bulk substrate recipe. They are identical in almost every way.

Monotub A has a substrate thickness of 3 inches.

Monotub B has a substrate thickness of 3.5 inches.

No contamination was seen upon spawning the grain. The lids of the monotubs will be kept upside-down to allow for air exchange throughout the grow. I will not bother misting unless I notice the tubs getting excessively dry.

I am praying to the shroom gods every night to bless this second attempt :crazy: :mushroom2:

The tubs are progressing admirably. beneath the pseudocasing layer the coir has been almos fully colonized. It is possible that I did not mix the tub enough when spawning because there were a few pockets of coir that id not contain grain spawn. These areas are steadily shrinking. I have not noticed any contams yet.

Tub A's growth appears to be more rhizomorphic and agressive. A larger portion of the surface of the pseudocasing layer has been colonized.

Tub B's growth displays much more fluffy, and slow-growing mycelium. The top of the tub seems to be much less colonized, but there are large areas of very light, difficult to see growth.

Tub A began pinning a couple days ago, now the pins have light brown heads, I see pinning all over the tub, but most aggressively favoring one corner of the Tub. No contams have been noted.

Tub B has not begun pinning yet. The mycelium looks much different than tub A, being more whispy, with less rhizomorphic growth. I do not see any contams, but I am concerned that the tub will fail to produce. I am confused about why the growth is so different, and why the pins have not begun.

Overall I am excited about the progress of tub A, this is my first time seeing pins, I am feeling really good about finally finding some success with my grows. Tub A seems to have alot of potential.

Congrats! Can't wait to see the pics of the pins.

Sorry I’m away from home and this is the only pic I have right now. This was taken 28 hours ago. I will provide more pics when I get home tomorrow. This is the area of the tub with the most aggressive pinning, but there are more pins popping up all over the place :laugh:



If you dont mind me asking, how long should I expect to wait for harvest at this stage, from what I have read it should just be a few more days?

Congrats! Looking forward to seeing the rest! If those were the biggest pins 28 hours ago you'll probably be harvesting in 4-5 days

LMAO just in time for me to dive back into 7 12-hour night shifts. :rolleyes: Oh well I will find time to harvest these dudes between shifts.  Too bad I will have to wait to sample them.

:mushroom2: :heart: MORE PICTURES!!!! :heart: :mushroom2:

Tub A:


The third picture above showcases the same group of mushrooms that I circled in red earlier in the thread.

Tub B:


I am worried about tub B. I still dont see any pinning. Again, both tubs were prepared in the exact same way, just using different agar plate isolations for inoculating the grain spawn. The mycelium continues to colonize the surface, but the tub is progressing much slower than tub A overall. So far, I plan to clone a tub A shroom to agar to propagate to further grain spawn etc.

Here is the progress of tub A:


I do see a couple broken veils, but I am inclined to let these keep developing for another day or two, if anybody has an opinion, let me know.

I'm very happy with how A is turning out, given this is my first successful grow. However, B has not done anything at all. I'm going to let it keep sitting there on the off chance it does decide to finally fruit, but I dont expect much.

Just completed my first ever harvest! here are some more pics.

Tub before and after harvest: (I decided to leave stumps instead of pulling them out, let me know your opinion)


Porn:


Final Wet weight: 893 grams (is this a good yield for a 38qt monotub?)

The shrooms are in the dehydrator now. 160F for 26 hours. I'm honestly shocked that my first ever flush looks this good. There were a couple speedbumps along the way but overall the help of the good people on this site made it simple.

Yeah don't do this.

You should rather mist it, surface conditions looks too dry to me.

Don't worry mate, what you're gonna feel is a slight burning in your heart, your lungs, your brain, your kidneys, your liver, bottom of your feet, your eyeballs, then you start bleeding from your nose and ears, then you start tripping out and seeing everything in the form of an anime cartoon which is really fucking cool.

I dont think the surface conditions are too dry. I think the picture you were looking at was just out of focus (sorry, my bad)

let me know if this is too wet though, thanks.

Ahh yeah it looked dry on that photo b4.
I'd maybe swing the lid a bit to exchange the air and flip it.
Looks good.

The shrooms dried out great. 76 gram dry weight.



I wont have a chance to try them out for a couple days.
