Redboy popcorn to hpoo (update 6/28)
    #5683796 - 05/28/06 04:32 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

This is what I hope will be my first grow done reasonably correctly. Everything thus far has been pretty much a flop. This is the last time I'm using corn as a substrate; almost every jar I've ever done has gotten wet spot. One in five times it doesn't kill the grow, but it usually does. My attempt to use hay in lieu of straw was a stupid idea as well. The hay is too slimy to be colonized. I have a tray of hay lying around 20 percent colonized after two months...

So... Redboy LC


+

Two four pound trays of Tenn Stud




It's been a week since spawning to the poo. It should be done by next sunday. I'll keep you guys posted.

Thanks Roadkill and RR for the print

That's some seriously nice growth ya got there friend. You did your homework. You might want to get some black tape and wrap the bottom and sides of those tubs.

Nah, they're tucked away in my dresser. I just took them out for photograping. When they go in the FC I'll put them in another tray with a black plastic bag stuck in between, like HC does.

I'm getting away with a lot with this grow-- some slight wet spot that was in the jars, and spawning them when only 90% colonized. I didn't mix the grains with the poo, but made layers, so that any single uncolonized grain would be promptly colonized by adjacent grains. It seems to have worked so far...

Ugh, I just checked the casings and when I opened one of them, I saw like four fungus gnats come out. I promptly killed them with tweezers, but I'm concerned about them possibly having laid eggs. I sure as hell don't plan on losing a potential two ounces to some maggots.... =/

Crazy rhizo


The tops


Cased both of them today at 90%. The rest of the myc should catch up within two days. Here's both of them double trayed and black bagged.

Great looking stuff. I love the fan shaped rhizos. That casing looks really heavy though. What is it?

It's jungle mix. It's reptile bedding I got at the pet store. The bag says it's a little bit of peat, little of organic soil, little bit of verm, and little bit of manure. Whatever it is, I never had any problem with not adding any oyster shell or anything like that. Seems to work fine. Doesn't overlay like coir either. Took a month for it to succumb to green.

Balls. I check on the two casings today and what do I see all over the sides? Lots and lots of tiny spots of trich. They haven't turned green yet, but they will soon... Fuck it, I'm gonna fruit them regardless. I have lots of jars that will be ready in two weeks anyway...

Bummer. You're not going to get much air exchange in that drawer. If it has trich, I'd take it outside and put it in the shade under a tree or something. Don't let it go green and puke all those trich spores out in your grow room. How do you know it's trich?

Well, I frequently opened the drawer, and the top of the lids have a hole covered with micropore. I know it's trich because the dense white spots of myc just came out of nowhere, and they're in clusters of two or three, and they are all over the place. I'm hoping that maybe it's stroma, but I don't know why it would do that practically over night. I'm just waiting for those spots to turn green =/. They're not headless pins, either.

Phew, it turns out those white spots really were pins, and the thing's got developing pins all over the sides now. Hopefully soon I'll get pins on the top too. As soon as I do, I'll post pics.

Bad pinset, but more should form on top in the coming week.

It looks like they dislike your casing layer for some reason. I'd suggest peat/verm for the next grow. That stuff actually looks like it's wood based, which is not the best choice for straw and dung loving species. Glad they fruited for ya though. Now to see if they look more like PE or TX.

The reason I see for them to dislike the casing layer is that it is too chunky with wood debris. Them slivers of wood wont hold near as much moisture as a peat/verm mix.

Better luck next time man.

I'm not so sure they dislike the casing layer... I've done grows very successfully with the same stuff before, with even, prolific pinsets. I think I may just have initiated fruiting too early, combined with tons of side pinning from overexposure during incubation. Granted, I'll try something else next time just to see.

I agree, that case looked very aggressive when it was colonizing,

With the lack of pins in the center of the case, it would seem that casing layer was the problem, we all learn as we go.

I would think that you have should 5-10 times as many pins as you do, but there are a few biggies, and that last pic, that cluster is neat.

I harvested over half of the shrooms just now. This is what it looked like just before I did.



I left around ten shrooms untouched so they could mature more. Several of them seem to resemble penis envy at this point. The caps aren't really opening up; their veils haven't torn and they're small relative to the size of the stem. *shrug*

I don't mean to be petty, but I seriously think there's nothing wrong with my casing layer. Some pins are sticking up from the top already, there are lots of hyphal knots visible, and there are two large clusters of like 25+ pins. I think the side pinning shrooms simply overshadowed the top shrooms, making it appear as if they didn't like my casing. The top shrooms are only beginning to form now, which makes sense, since the side shrooms incidentally formed a day before birthing, whereas the top shrooms/pins are emerging nine days after birthing, which is just in time.

boom

Looks like a nice harvest. Nothing to be ashamed of there at all. If the casing surface had been totally covered with pins, they wouldn't have grown that large, so it all works out in the end. I don't even see any aborts. Good job.
