Thems some phatty donks dudes, good work to both of you! i'm in the same boat with my PEs, they seem to be slowing up and the cap is starting to darken a bit and the base where it would normally open up but no opening. But they are relatively short compared to the other PEs i've seen, thick but short so im wondering if they are still growing or not.

Was like 7 days till break and shake and this is a couple days after, but the clone i used was a fucking monster so it prolly had good genetics. So what do i do with this guy when he finishes colonizing? Only one of his kind so itll be hard to s2b unless I g2g first? This was the cloner boner

I'd send that jar to a shoebox, and also plate a couple grains and try to clean it up. Does look a little bacterial so this will help you better your chances at preserving the genetics :mushroom2:

Maybe a bit of both, looks like it's unhealthy / fighting something off. Normal agar recipe? Maybe worth a cabin.

Gonna grow them in your honor.

On another note, powdered mushrooms in chocolates hold well for a long time right? better fridge or freezer?

I only use the freezer because if i put my chocolates in the fridge they melt too fast and it gets all over my fingers

Sounds like you need to focus a little bit more on the tempering process. If you temper your chocolate appropriately you should be able to just leave them out on the Shelf without any Refrigerationor freezing. at all.

If tempered correctly they won't melt or get on your fingers or any of that. They'll be like a nice candy bar from the store that's super shiny and has a good snap.

Thx, I will look into this :takingnotes:

:takingnotes:

I will say it doesnt melt completely, just on my fingertips, but I only use dark chocolate and the last time I ate chocolate bars was in the hot summer so it could've been circumstantial

There seemed to be so much discourse on the cabin thread.... why not just BRF?

And so the cabin tech would result in clean mycelium growing threw the "roof" if i understand right??

Hey Langten, since you're the PE guy would you havest this guy? I noticed the darkening at the base of his cap and I dont think its growing any more. Either that or extremely slow.

I figured the health color of a cap is that of a goomba :goomba:

:goomba:

and any darkening is probably more along the lines on an abort.

Whatchu think?

Around 11 o'clock on the second plate those tiny white dots I'm pretty sure are mycelium :mushroom2:

:mushroom2:

the rest is mold, you can tell because the mold is very wispy and uniform, also likely growing very quickly

Correct, if you transfer those dots asap you may be able to do without a cabin. Though a cabin never hurts to do

We might have different kinds of PC, mine doesn’t do the constant whistle, it builds up pressure and then releases it every now and then blasting steam of at quite high pressure, it’s only these moments that it becomes quite loud. I can compare it to some super strong irrigation system. The sound resembles some powerful garden sprinklers, for the record, I have a Hawkins Big Boy 22lt PC.

Holy Shit 0_Tonin this seems aggressive, I'd be scared to stand next to it lol. Once my PC reaches 15PSI I turn the burner to 50% and then it tickles 15psi for the remainder of the cycle. You dont need to keep the Burning on high to maintain pressure. Crank the heat to get it to 15psi then back off to maintain it. I have the basic presto but i'm sure this concept applies to most PCs. Pasty is on point.

cool, thanks man. I will do another cycle soon and will make sure to turn the heat all the way down once it vents, and keep an eye on the weight to make sure its wiggling, this should mean its maintaining the 15 PSI. The least it vents, the better. Because this puppy vents pretty loudly and I hate being that noisy guy.

Thanks for confirming what Pasty said.

Actually if you want that thing to be quieter.. what we do is add more to our jiggler.

Tape a couple quarters on top or use a few magnets.

It'll make it wiggle a lot less. sometimes even barely to none. But it's still releasing a little bit. just enough every once in awhile to be okay.

This will also raise the PSI usually up to about 18 is still very safe to run on our PCS.

Now I've never used a hawk big boy. I'm speaking about my Presto
.
but I imagine it's the same concept.

Anyways adding weight and actually stopping the jiggle can make your PC almost completely silent after the vent.

Only down side I see is you don't have a gauge to monitor how high your PSI is climbing.

funny cuz it's if you don't add extra weight. the gauge doesn't matter. They can be inaccurate anyways.

The wiggle of the weight does show that you're at 15 psi.

So I'm not sure how you monitor your rising pressure after adding weight without a gauge. And that'll just depends on how accurate or calibrated the gauge is depending on how many times it's been used.

However I would say that from the experience of everybody else I've seen and myself. if you just go with two quarters you should be fine and shouldn't be getting above 18 psi.

But thats just what i imagine. Please take it with a grain of salt.

Oh but definitely crank the heat as low as you can while still maintaining pressure. After event.

Oh shit. I just read someone else's response and realized you don't have a rocker weight on top, or do you? I guess please ignore my response above. If not. My bad..

Different strokes I suppose. I'd rather work on and store a plate than a BRF jar, it's easier to see what's going on, and BRF feels like more of a crapshoot, especially on nastier contams.

But I'm biased towards agar, especially if something's already on a plate. Nothin wrong with BRF.
