Thanks, guys. That's pretty much what I did this time. I like the idea of shaking down the verm/coir in a bag. I'll give that a try.

Yupp it was faht.  Here ya go gil. here's his qick write up on it.


Clean ounces of fruits in less than 5 minutes




I use a nice pair of scissors and just snip the butts of each stipe right after I twist and pull them. get rid of the dirt completely. Everything is nice and clean and comes out of the dehydrator perfectly clean.

It's nice to not have anything on them when it comes time for testing potency with q-tests. As any other materials can alter results.

I saw that shoebox you grew recently. Good job man! that's really badass. that tub was a beauty


But yeah when you're growing mushrooms the way you are and you've got more than you know what to do with. Cutting off those little ends won't matter at all to you.


However I do save those little stumps that I cut off and end up shaking them in the bag to clean them.lol

I consider those to be like trim with weed. I use it to make my gummies and chocolates.

I’m probably weird but I find cleaning off sub from fruit to be almost meditative.

Just to be sure, when sterilizing agar / empty jars, is 16/17psi ok instead of 15 ?

I was using the twist and pull method for my cakes (which are still going over a month later) but that left too much sub on the feets. I used a large carving knife to saw the shoebox harvests these past two days. Some of the sub pulled up on several. Those dusted the rest of the bowl. I probably should have two bowls. One for clean cut and the other for dirty foots.

Thanks for the compliment, Hippie! That's high praise on this end of town! I had three boxes that reached harvest all within 24hrs. Here they are again since I'm proud like a baby daddy!



I have a couple other things coming down the pike soon! Can't wait to share! I have the cult bug bad!

Sterilizing empty jars is unnecessary, but yeah, everything you can do at 15 PSI can also be done at 17-18. Also, I always throw my agar in with a grain run, doesn't seem to affect quality

Cheers Choozle, i meant brf jars :blush:

Ty for the naked tip, thought my heavy chesr hairs could bring more contams than anything, happy to know i can do it naked :grin:

Currently finishing my first agar bottle pc, can t wait to pour it and inoculate :wink:

Living in a hot and humid country, should I pc longer than 20min or it s the same for every place ? I guess i have way more molds / bacteria than a dry place for exemple.

Ty everyone for the help loving you.

Haha! Thank you! I'm just emulating what you all are doing. Like a recipe, I'm just following instructions at this point. Between what you sent me and what some of the other generous members have sent me, I have my work cut out. Looking forward to posting positive results! This stuff is so much fun! :nerd:

To add an vermiculite casing layer; are there negatives to sprinkle the dry material over the substrate, and then mist it (to make the verm wet)?

I did it yesterday and have the feeling I might have mistreated the mycelium a bit with the water...

Just make sure you're really clean. I always work without gloves and as long as my arms and hands are really clean, my fail percentage stays under 5%.

And yeah, your ambient spore load is probably pretty high. Just make sure you use your SAB properly

edit: sure cybork, you can do that, but it's difficult to determine moisture content of the casing that way.

I always clean my fruits right after harvest. I make sure the dirty ends are all on the same side and just peel and cut the bottom ends with a potato peeling knife before dehydration. It's not even  that much work. Who wants to eat verm.

I have steel lids, he advises 2 small holes. But how small ?

thank you !


1/8 inch holes. Rev mentions it further on in the thread. He also mention lids with one or two holes. He’s putting filters over the holes and removing the lids to inoculate the BRF pucks. There is no dry vermiculite layer.

Yeah, I trim pans.  Premium fruits, premium treatment.  Plus, I also find it quite relaxing as Astro pointed out :smile:

sloug said:
is anyone else worried that the increase and continued practice of crossing varieties may result in the loss of more "classic" varieties?


Huskies has been working on this with cubes.  And nature is also still pushing out classics for now.  But climate change will likely change that, especially for rare species confined to small habitats.

Less of an issue for cubes, but they have some close relatives I've never seen cultivated.

morning!

i harvested my first mature fruit ever today (woohoo!!).

i pulled off the mature one as well as a few stalled pins that were starting to go black. hopefully this helps reroute some nutrients/water to the other healthy pins in the boxes.

curious about the process from here. just let the remaining ones grow out, then pick those & aborts, dunk and go for flush 2?

do the boxes look like they need anything right now? the corner of one was drying out so i gave them a good misting this morning after harvest.

Grats on the first fruit!

I think it's looking good but I'm not an expert on cubes.  I probably would have done the same.  Pulled aborts and misted dry spots.

But we don't really need to harvest aborts, I usually do because they look unsightly to my ape eyes.

But the turning black is auto digestion, the colony rerouting the nutrients.  Even the ones trapped in the aborts.
