Return to PF Tek - Coming Home * 10
    #28560130 - 11/28/23 09:24 PM (1 month, 29 days ago)

My life has taken a wildly different direction than I thought it would.

I got sober in 2020. It was an easy decision.  Long story short, I was too hung over to go on a second date with a cutie that I couldn't wait to jump. She texted me one word "Unbelievable..." and I never heard from her again.

I quit everything. But always wanted to grow mushrooms again. Microdosing has always been something I've wanted to try and I was able to get ahold of some psychedelics to experiment with and the results were positive. But I always ALWAYS wanted to grow cubensis mushrooms again.

It's like an itch I can't scratch.

I got married, started a family, but the urge to grow was always there.

I finally confessed my sins to my wife. Told her my mushroom story. She was disinterested and didn't get it but she asked if I'd grow gourmets for her. I said I would... but it's just not the same. You guys all know. You know what it's like. The thrill of growing something that is genuinely magical.

So I asked her if I could grow some magic mushrooms for microdosing. To my surprise she reluctantly accepted. After explaining the growing process to her she said I could grow two cakes.

And here I am, back to basics. How I missed the smell of the vermiculite mixed with brown rice, the steady bubbling of the water steaming my cakes. The fun of drilling the holes in the lids. The satisfaction of creating the perfectly level cake, not packed in, just lightly tamped on top. My hands shook as I wrapped the foil over my jars for sterilization, remembering to run my fingers over the rim to ensure the most tightest seal I could achieve. 

Today, I am happy. Today, I am home. It's been a long journey, and I never thought I would be so grateful to come back to the place I began.

Do not covet the monotub of thy neighbor, lest you miss the beauty of simplicity, it is in cultivation for yourself and your soul where you will discover the delight of the fruits of the Gods.



12.28 status: PE Fully colonized for 3 weeks. GT with only one inoculation point just finished wrapping around the outside of the jar.



1/10/24

It has begun:



3 days later I am really impressed with the water tub tek. I kept the lid on for the night then cracked it the next morning. The vermiculite on the outside looks well hydrated. Usually in an sgfc you'd see everything drying out by now. The myc recovered nicely.



In the bigger tub the one on the left is cubensis and the right two are king oysters.

I wasn't able to find a 6500k cfl in a store so I had to settle for a 5000k LED bulb. Not happy about that as I used to just replace my room light with a 6500k cfl and that did wonders for all my grows before.

1.16 Bought a 6500k LED bulb and set it up. Also first pins award goes to Penis Envy.


1.18 PE taking off. Loving water tub tek.



1.20
Coming along nicely. I thought the fruits might get a little bigger but honestly this cake came out fantastic in my opinion.


1.22 I let them go too long. I harvested this morning and they were a little bit soggy. I may have over misted a bit but also I think the cake just didn't have enough water to support all the growth as the back side where my mister couldn't reach easily was a bit dryer and bruised and some pins were beginning to abort.

Dunked for a hopeful second flush and cleaned the cake.



Gt pins are on the way.

Thank you Way. I feel like there's a lot more that can go wrong with PF grows and with only two jars, one being PE, then the odds are a little bit against me on this one. But I've always wanted to grow PE on a cake so this will be a good opportunity to give it a shot and if successful I may be able to better help guide the newcomers who attempt PE grows on cakes.

So awesome a story! Plus an understanding wife is all you could ask for.  My first PF grow was a PE, so I'm definitely routing for and watching this.

Growing a couple of cakes every few weeks is my hobby and certainly keeps the Wife happier. No hurry, no worry, no rush.
Enjoy yourself and the process.

Welcome back Tiger. It is great to have a supportive partner. I love doing cultivation together, prepping grains, harvesting tubs and experiencing the fruits of your labor together brings a couple closer. I hope your partner becomes even more accepting of your hobby, I wish everyone could experience that together.

Welcome back!  I took a 13 year hiatus myself so I know that itch well. 

One thing I’ll say for PE and any cake is wait til you see knots/primordia start on the cakes before birthing.  PE is really important to wait because if you don’t, you could be looking at 2+ weeks in the fruiting chamber before they pin and that’s where ppl get bad PE cakes… they’re too dry before fruiting because of the long wait time and poor results follow. 

I’ve grown lots of PE on cakes successfully (early 2000’s PE).


Most recent “modern” PE


Trick with PE besides when to birth is making sure they have plenty of water reserve for when they do start to fruit.  I use thick double end casings that I can water directly if needed.  Much like bottom watering

What are your plans for fruiting the cakes?  Not sure if you’ve been keeping track of new methods but the Water tub is pretty much the new standard. 

For two cakes I make a lil “water bag” out of a large ziplock and riser of sorts.  Syringe holes poked every 2” through the bag at and above cake level.  Usually double up the holes at cake level. 


You can also just throw a single cake in a sandwich bag with wet double end casing… I like to use CV and poke ~6 needle holes evenly spaced and forget about them til harvest.

Thank you for the advice fahtster, I honestly saw a really cool looking dry goods pantry container and fell in love with it. For sure I'll use it for the GTs but the PE I was unsure of. It's getting late and I need to turn in but I'll follow up tomorrow.

The container itself is about 12 inches high and has a really nice transparent look to it and the cake would probably have about a half inch of clearance on each side. I was hoping to have an artistic terrarium look.

My PE Cake has been full colonized and consolidating for 3 weeks now.

The GT Cake (right) only had one inoculation point take off. It just finished fully wrapping around the outside of the jar today but I will consider it fully colonized new years day incase there are parts of the interior still left to go.



I also have 8 cakes of king oyster that have been fully colonized for almost 4 weeks now.



Still not 100% sure what I want to do with them. I thought I'd be able to fruit them as cakes originally because I was planning to do blue oysters but my wife changed the request to king oyster trumpet at the last minute and I didn't bother to search on how they would do on brf cakes.

Very happy to have a contam free PF run going.

Also wanted to note that the king oyster mycelium started out more light and grey colored but as they have consolidated they have turned snow white.

Finally birthed my cakes tonight. The PE has basically been consolidating for a month and the GT 1 week.

God damn I missed the smell of fresh myc in a jar. Even after you pop the cake out and your done cleaning everything off and then you put the empty jar up to your nose and take a big whiff before you rinse it out.

:boobsmell:

Fucking heavenly.

3 days later I am really impressed with the water tub tek. I kept the lid on for the night then cracked it the next morning. The vermiculite on the outside looks well hydrated. Usually in an sgfc you'd see everything drying out by now. The myc recovered nicely and is fluffing up a bit.



In the bigger tub the one on the left is cubensis and the right two are king oysters.

I wasn't able to find a 6500k cfl in a store so I had to settle for a 5000k LED bulb. Not happy about that as I used to just replace my room light with a 6500k cfl and that did wonders for all my grows before.

I am a bit concerned about temperatures as it's very difficult to get heat pver there. I'm half considering putting a heating pad inside the cabinet (off to the side and to the back just to generate some more heat in there) when i temped the water in the bigger tub it was 66.6 (nice) and the air inside was 70 (probably from the sub in there) however after the cabinet was open for just a minute taking pictures the temp dropped to 61. It's honestly just lower than what i'm used to growing at.

1.18 PE taking off. Loving water tub tek.



Fahster was dead on correct with the allowing PE to consolidate for 2 weeks (mine went for basically a month). We see people struggling to get their PE to fruit and I'm going to make a seperate post when this is finished that just calls out allowing the consolidation for PE on cakes. (Repeating PE on cakes again for search results.) Penis Envy's unique genetics really seem to require that time to munch and think about how it's going to make those fat fruits.

Not sure what I can do about the king oyster cakes. I don't know if its the lack of wood chips or the slightly higher temperature or maybe a combination of both but they don't seem to want to fruit. I'm considering turning the jars right side up for those and popping them in the jars because I know they like to fruit from bag slits.

Coming along nicely. I thought the fruits might get a little bigger but honestly this cake came out fantastic in my opinion.

Oh I know they will, but what I meant was I can kind of judge roughly where they're going to end up at. I may not even harvest tomorrow. Kind of feeling like its going to be either sunday night at midnight or monday morning before work.

1.22 I let them go too long. I harvested this morning and they were a little bit soggy. I may have over misted a bit but also I think the cake just didn't have enough water to support all the growth as the back side where my mister couldn't reach easily was a bit dryer and bruised and some pins were beginning to abort.

Dunked for a hopeful second flush and cleaned the cake.

Nice cake mate, I just love watching all those nice pics. Before I started cultivating, I was a snob, I didn't even want to try the PF Tek, but now...I am probably going to tattoo "PF Tek" somewhere 🤣

edit. May I ask, are you fruiting in an sgfc or a water tub?

I am stealthily dehydrating them in my room, but I haven't noticed any smell. I do however spray perfumes to hide the weed smell when I vape, have to hide everything from my son. Is there really a smell when drying them?

Depends how many you dry at once, there's a faint smell.

I use an air purifier with a carbon filter for weed but I smoke it so it's a different story, but it helps nicely with dust and moving air around the place too.

I personally love the smell of dehydrating mushrooms. I'm actually going to be using the dehydrate setting (135 f) on my costco air fryer. I've heard a couple of people have cooked their mushrooms a little too much but i ran tests on pinapple and strawberries and they came out really good so I think i'll be safe.

I’d suggest not misting fruits directly.  The mushrooms are the end of the water cycle and need to be able to evaporate off the water that is supplied to them from the substrate.  When you mist them, you plug up the water cycle and stop evaporation but the sub doesn’t stop supplying the fruits with water.  That’s why they get soggy.  Fruits out in the wild can be rained on because they’re in constant open air and the water is quickly evaporated.  If you want to supply the grow with water, do it at the start of the water cycle which is the mycelium.  Bottom watering will be more effective or even just water that top verm casing you have on the top of the cakes at point blank range.

The PE that tiger is growing smells like, what is it? cat piss and feet?, when drying.
Luckily I already had the dehydrator going in the basement the first time I dried PE. I walked down there after a few hours and I was like whaoooo.

Thanks pal.  It’s something that really comes in handy for PE.  PE is great because you can let it go so long due to it not dropping spores everywhere and really get the most out a flush.  But if you don’t match the FAE with the amount of water that the sub has pushed into its mature fruits, early rot will start.  More abortions.  Anyone that’s grown a full canopy of PE will probably note just how empty of water the substrate is.. they usually crumble apart. 

When we talk about balanced passive FAE, that balance is hugely shifted in the late stages of a flush.  Where most of the water in a substrate is stored in the substrate block, therefore, only subjected to the evaporation off the fruiting surface (which is only 1 of 6 sides), once the sub pushes all that water into the fruits to expand them for spore release, all that water is now subjected to evaporating off every area of those fruits surfaces.  Now if you don’t match that with FAE (what happens in nature when the fruits are expanded past the humid ground cover), rot starts immediately.

With PE, you can slow that rotting process down significantly by increasing the FAE to match.  I’ve got pics I can show ya (imagine that :lol:)

This is how I put my lids for my PE/PE vars for the last 12-24 hours


Here’s a clone culture before I started giving extra FAE when they needed it (notice the condensation on the tub walls)


Same culture but after I started giving extra FAE


The color is better.. the fruits that matured first aren’t starting to rot before the stragglers catch up.  The mature fruits in the first pic are starting to bend over and have a pale gray look to them.. that’s a sign rot has started

The reason is so nice besides the overall health of the fruits, the window for harvest is extend A LOT.  I can go to work for 8 hours and come back knowing that if I hadn’t given them that FAE, I’d probably come home to a mooshy mess of a tub because it happens very quickly with restricted FAE at the end

Other examples increased FAE with PE.  You can really see it in the color of the fruits… mature fruits that are still vibrant like their younger siblings



More examples of when I didn’t give more FAE



Notice how gray and wilted those look ^^^

You can do this with any cubensis but keep in mind it also quickens the spore release lol

Sorry for threadjacking, Tiger :lol:  but i figure you might benefit too

hey man, your post was a good read and really cool and inspiring, you and i have some things in common it seems. I got sober in 2020 as well and recently returned to growing mushrooms in earnest after a 15 year hiatus (2008) and rediscovered the magic and how rewarding and delicious this craft can be for those who really have the patience and aspiration, the willingness and perserverance, and the humility and drive to fail and fail again and continue, without falter until the end goal is achieved. In that moment I feel myself and my purpose more deeply than any other moment, because I know I have created something truly beautiful with this grey matter and opposable thumbs nature gave me. thanks for sharing and i hope to run into you again soon!
