First grow - McKennaii and Yeti 1
#28523120 - 10/30/23 07:49 AM (2 months, 28 days ago) |

Hi everyone, i decided to show and create my first real grow log. Few years ago i tried with PF cakes, ended with few mushrooms. Last time i ordered 2 growboxes, McKenaii and B+ strain. Its almost the same price if you order syringe culture or growbox and isolate on agar. McKenaii strain was once more stronger than B+, so i decided to grow it and ordered also syringe of Yeti LC culture. Im reading shroomery all the time, i realy like mycology and everything that is connected with psychoactive substances.
McKennaii culture was first syringe cloned in LC, than transferred to agar to check if there is any contamination, it was clean. I did same with ordered syringes of Yeti LC, there is no trace of any contamination. Im working in SAB box, i think it should be little bigger and opened side is covered with foil, with holes for hands. its lame but it works.
Early stage of Yeti on agar:

For preparing WBS i followed Franks WBS tek I got that bird food, it contains cracked corn, but in big pieces, i didnt have any problems with sticking together.




Jars were dry after few shakes while cooling.

Lids are with selfhealing ports, filter discs covered with micropore until some growth, maybe until 20-30% of growth.

Day 0 (29.10.2023) - inoculated 
Sorry for not perfect english, i hope i will show you some shrooms

Think the micropore on top of the filter discs is pointless at best and possibly counterproductive if it blocks airflow.
What tek did you get that from? Haven’t seen it before. Either the MP tape or filter should be fine on its own. Combining the two might slow down colonizing by blocking any airflow imo..

I did this to protect filterdiscs while PCing against excess moisture, also was covered with foil and because i didnt know if glue will withstand temperature and pressure. I didnt find this in any tek, i did it on my own. Dont worry i will remove MP tape when growth starts.

If the tape is restricting airflow, the mycelium will not be able to start growing because it needs oxygen.
Jar lids can be covered entirely with squares of foil to protect the discs from moisture while cooking.
Good luck with your grow

Day 2 - first signs of mycelium

Ok, i will remove tape sooner.
Im thinking of some experiment. I have some agar plates 100 % colonized, but infected with bacteria and cant get rid of it with transfers. I know that i can try with sandwich agar tek or taking swab with syringe and inoculate in small BRF/verm jar to get a bact. free pin.
I was thinking if i put a soil/coir casing layer on agar plate to induce pinning. I will try and report

Jars shaken today. I forgot to take picture. Colonized 20-40%.

Someone in another thread had a possible solution to clean this up. They suggested that you could transfer a slice of the agar into a water-agar (no nutrition) plate. The mycelium will spread out looking for food, but the bacteria won't spread.

I will try, but first i need to make no pour agar without condensation, water drops spread bacteria like fire (i tried a few technics, but there is always condensation, that normally isnt problem, but with bacteria it is. I have prepared bottle of agar for pouring, maybe i should try pour tek.
I covered 2 agar "plates" with thin layer of coir/verm, but there is no growth or very slow, low nutrients.. I will wait a little more.

If your containers were PC correctly the water in there would be sterile, why water is bad in there is if it has any bacteria in there it will propagate very rapidly and overcome the mycelium. From what I read is you want to leave them in the PC overnight to help with condensation on the no pours. Are you venting your PC for 10min minimum before you bring it to pressure? I made that mistake when I first started in cult. You can also get WBS that only contains mostly millet also.

I left over night in PC - condensation I used pan with hot water on trays to prevent condensation and put isolation around - still condensation. 10min venting PC with steam for no pour agar or for jars? Im venting jars for few minutes, but not 10min.
Update: Few more days and time for the most excitement part 

Im thinking to try Yeti with p9 pseudo casing method around 1:5 ratio in shoebox and McKenaii with ziplock tek 1:2 ratio. Mycelium looking healthy there shouldnt be problem with higher ratio. Im not sure cause im beginer.

Yeah the jars are looking really nice right now. All depends on how they look when fully colonized though.
Venting the PC should be done for everything. 15 or 20 minutes ideally. Don't skimp on the important parts.

Noted.
Just few grains in some jars and time to send. 
Cloudcelium 


LC of Yeti made with honey and cane sugar combined for future jars, waiting for agar to show if its clean.

Day 19 - spawn to bulk
Smell of grain was earthy, mushy..amazing
I made CVG, because i have everything at home. Used calculation for watering dry coir in grams x 4.6 ml and volume vermiculite:water 2:1. Field capacity was perfect.
McKennai went in ziplock 1:2 ratio, no casing.
Yeti went in shoebox around 1:6 ratio, pseudocasing.


Any idea of rechargable light with timer or wifi control? Someone at home isnt happy with shrooms Boxes could be somewhere, but there is dark and no electricity.

So why are you putting someone else in danger of a felony if you know they don't want you growing them? Not Cool at all

Don't matter if you're grown up or not. She gets a felony same as you if you get caught. Not cool to grow if anyone you live with not ok with this.

Ikea ziplock 6qt bags are not hard enough, when water accumulates on sides its to heavy and bag drops over substrate. When pinning occurs, i will cut uper part of bag away and put it in tube.

Preparing WBS for next batch and after 5 hours soaking lentil already sprouting.

I dont know, after 12,15 hours everything will be green 😅 Should i raise temperature really fast to kill seeds and left it soaking?

I cut uper part of ziplock bag and put everything in tube, pins visible - McKennai

Yeti pseudocasing tube. I dont know what to do with FAE. Lid is originally really loose, so i dont know should i flip it or make holes or leave it like it is.

I dont know what is happening with tubes, McKennai should be ready soon.
I got new equipment for fine work
 So i put Yellow Umbo x Great Monster spores on agar and one Yeti pin from old plate. Also all the time(approx. 5min) when i was working in SAB i have one agar plate opened back on the bottom of SAB, to check quality of air. It is possible that some spores from swab dropped in it, because i was cutting it from wooden straw.

Blob-like or mycelium on top of WBS Yeti jar, smell is beautiful earthyshroomy. Today i put 4 quarts in 1:2 CVG shoeboxes.
Boxes that i gave to my friend are not moving anywhere, because low temps, 59F (15C). There are small pins that grow really slow, there is no contamination. If they ever grow up, should be crazy potent. Or we move them in warmer place?

Yetis took ages, that is same mushroom, few pins and blobs.

Tube that was at 15 degrees celsius whole month is full of blobs, like snowball paradise  Tube was put in warmer environment.

After "blobs" were peeled off substrate, in few days started pinning and now we have Yetis

And McKennaii tub
