The jars are each a half pint. I checked the capacity using a measuring jug.
I'm not sure the capacity of the pc but it fits four jars easily.
I am going to construct a poor man's pod for a terrarium. I put a link somewhere in this thread.

How long will I have to wait to see if the spores have been innoculated properly? I'm anxious to see if I've messed it up or not. I've decided not to build a terrarium until I have some evidence that this is going to work.

If at all possible, you should try to not look at them until a week has passed. By then the growth should be substantial and you will have concurred the worst part of shroom growing, waiting.

Good luck with your grow.

Today I just got back from a week at my girlfriend's house and looked at my babies for the first time in about a week. There has been quite a lot of growth since I last looked. A couple of the jars are coming on nicely but I think I have lost 2 to contaminations. These jars had way too much water in because they were the first ones I did and I didn't judge it very well.

My Jars:


These are the ones that I think have contams:


This is probably the most developed jar:



Some more pics:




And here is my incubator (?):


Oh, and by the way, when do I take the foil off?

i say go ahead and take it off, you may see a slight increase in growth because once you remove the foil the jars get better air exchange. the dry verm layer on top will filter out any in-coming contams through the inocc. holes on the lids.

BTW looking good man time to build a PmP!

Today I went to B&Q and got some more stuff. I have started collecting resources for my fruiting chamber. I got a big plastic container with a semi transparent lid from B&Q and I got an air pump, tubing and air curtain from the pet shop.

I am hoping to get a second pump from my girlfriend as she used to have a fish tank.

I cannot find geolite/expanded clay pebbles, but I can easily get perlite. Is it ok to use prelite instead of the clay pebble things?



Also, my best jar is coming along quite nicely. Here are some pictures:

Yes, perlite will work just fine, but the clay pebbles are so much cleaner and easier to work with (not to mention they look much better if you're into looks like I am).

Contaminations? [Re: ihatejacknjills]
    #2985271 - 08/10/04 09:23 AM (19 years, 5 months ago)

I need some advice now. I'm not sure whether these jars have contaminations or not. They look odd, but it might just be because I put a little too much water in them. I don't know whether to
A) throw them away
B) birth them with the rest of my cakes
C) birth them somewhere else to prevent further contamination
D) Stop being paranoid

I would really appreciate it if someone could look and see whethewr they think they are contaminated.

Thank you.

Geo Lite! [Re: ihatejacknjills]
    #2986007 - 08/10/04 01:08 PM (19 years, 5 months ago)

Today I brought some geolite from the garden centre. I came in a packet saying hydroluca. When I got back I drilled 2 holes in the side of my pod. Although I only have one air input at the moment I plan on adding a second one, hence the second hole. I fed the tube off the air pump through the hole and connected it to an airstone. I then poured the geolite over the top of it. The pod is nearly finnished.
Next I ned to get more airstones, another pump and a humidity gauge.

This has got to be my favorite grow log I have read on this site. I absolutely love how you go into great detail. I finally understand the process of growing mushrooms better.

Oh and what's "B&Q"?

ok!



>>Oh and what's "B&Q"?

B&Q is a diy shop.  It sells wood and light fittings and tools ect.  It also has a gardening section with plants and vermiculite and soil and stuff like that.

:sperm:

I've decided that I'm going to get the pod up and running today and put the wet cakes in it to see what happens.  I'm hoping they will dry out a bit and fruit many mushrooms, but I doubt it somehow.  Do I need to bake the geolite first?  And do I need to rinse off the dust?

yeah, wash it and sterilise it if possible.
boiling water or a microwave are better than nothing.

so how many cakes do you have like the good ones, and how many like the suet pudding?
