Let me introduce myself...
    #5776280 - 06/21/06 12:09 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

Hello,
My name if Fahtster... you can fall me faht or fahtster.  pronounce it FAT or FATster.  I was born and raised in mycotopia.  I moderated there for a year and a half.  although i'm from 'topia... i'm not into the site wars that go on.. i'm here for one thing only, MUSHROOMS.  If you ask me a question... i'll answer it.  period.  i don't appreciate being flamed and will not flame, myself.  been growing for 5 + years now.  i specialize in pf tek and popcorn casings and popcorn tubs.  RodgerRabbit asked me over to share some pics with yall.  I've been meaning to register and get over here and hopefully meet some new friends and add to my knowledge of growing so rodger's nudge finally pushed me to do it. :smile:  my favorite strains are Tex and Maz.  both of which i have in the pics i'm going to post.  I do tubs of pf cakes where i double stack them.  24 cakes per tub.  I've heard all i need to hear of "you should totally stop doing cakes and go to bulk" cuz in my head, it's all the same work... still have to pasteurize... still have to spawn and run, etc.  I've tried it all.  and as fars as the "but you have to wash all those jars!"  well... i don't wash my jars anyhow.. they get sterilized in the pc just fine.  the only thing that i do do is wipe off the top 2/3 in. of the jar where the verm. rez. sits.  same with whole grains jars... no need to wash.  but i also wipe off the very top 'ring' of the quart jars.  anyhow, i'm comfortable with how i do things.. i will be posting some teks i have over at 'topia as soon as i get the time including... strain isolation straight from a multispore syringe using corn and a 1/2 pint.... cloning tek using an oven bag that is virtually contam free... all can be done without agar or glovebox.  etc.. also a nice tasty chocolate recipe. :smile: 

ok, here are some double stacked pf jars of the mazapatec var.








Next are some Tex cakes done much the same way. :smile:











Next are some plain popcorn casings, cased with plain verm. :smile:





These ones are popcorn with a plain verm. Rez effect about 1 wet handful of verm. to 1 quart of corn.  they were done in tubs with NO casing.  :smile:





this last pic is what you get after using that yummy choc. recipe i'm going to post. :smile: 



if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask.  i'll answer them the best that i can.  hope you like the pics. :smile:  i'll be seeing ya around!

thanks yo, :smile:  you should have seen my old GH's.. i modified them so that two GH's became one.. just cut the verticle bars in half and stuck another shelf in between the two existing. :smile:  was a pain to keep enough air running to all the shelves tho.  that was quite awhile ago.. now it's just the tubs for me. :smile:

I'm enjoying my greenhouse setup, it's a lot like HippieChick's-from the Shroomery here..

I'll probably start up a special tub in a few weeksish just to play around with them :laugh:

She is by far one of the most accomplished in the greenhouse field, if not in mushrooms in general..look at her yields and then her figures for BE...

i've been watching faht's work over at mycotopia... good stuff

faht, i've always wondered, what's your potency like on straight popcorn casings? in my experience, they have been lacking. are you hydrating with that "ecojuice" stuff you guys use over at the mycotopia?

Nice to meet you...

I am growing Texans myself right now, and funny you should mention it... but i have a chocolate recipe in my signature also. Kinda like a twin from Mytopia!

Great work, those popcorn casings look great!  gonna go home and do a batch of popcorn... you made a believer out of me!

Ps.) check out my choc recipe, i think you'll enjoy it!  :cool:

    #5776542 - 06/21/06 01:25 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

thanks everyone for the warm welcome. :smile:

tweex- I really haven't had much problems with the corn mushy.  i mix all my dried mushrooms together and powder em with a coffee grinder to put into choc's so they then become one average potency.  all my friends i give to at shows and just if they want to get high, lol, never complain... of course they are free, so they probably wouldn't complain.  but my personal opinion is that they aren't as dense but just as potent.  and no, i don't use the ecojuice... never heard of the stuff actually. lol

Oatman- nice to meet you to. :wink:  popcorn may be harder to 'nail' down then most whole grains.. but it's been my experience that if you do get it down, it's one of the fastest colonizers there is.  I like your recipe. :smile: pretty much the same as mine actually... except i'm a little more exact on the math than yours.  basically i take which ever mold i'm using and fill it with just plain melted choc... let harden and weigh it.  lets say it's 12 gm.  then i take how ever much mushrooms i want to put into each one... say.. 1.3 gm.  which is actually how much i put into each one (it's not going to be exact when i make em, but to find out how much mushrooms to grind up it's "right on").  then subtract 1.3 from 12(the weight of the plain choc.) and thats how much choc. per candy i use... the densities are of course off.. but it gives a nice estimate.  multiply 1.3 x however many choc.s and thats how much mushroom matter you need... multiply 10.7 x however many choc.s and thats how much choc. you need to melt. I'm not going to post mine cuz, well, you pretty much got that cornered. :smile:  but i will suggest that you switch to a coffee grinder... you can get em for like 10 bucks at a walmart.  it turns em to powder in like 10 seconds.. i used to use a food processor too... trust me on this one. :wink:

thanks again,
fahtster

Welcome!! Very nice to meet you! And welcome to our community.
I'm a new grower. I hope to learn alot from you, since you like doing PF-Tek. And that what i got going on for now. I got a grow log in the Mush.Cult forums, if you care to look. Its all basic stuff tho. See you around!! -SickShroomer

Good to see ya again fahts....Glad you made it over.

Guys and gals, this dude is the KING of the pf tek and he loves to teach how he does it, so if you're having trouble with cakes, here's the gentleman to ask. I needed some pictures of cakes for the DVD I'm making because I suck at pf cakes, but I knew exactly who to ask for pictures and he was gracious enough to send me some to use. He even makes popcorn look good and everybody knows how much I hate popcorn... :laugh:

As for the tub vs greenhouse comments above, it's been my experience that cakes require a higher humidity than a greenhouse can readily supply, but a tub is perfect.  A greenhouse is more suited to cased substrates that shine in the 80% to 90% range.

Welcome to the shroomery fahts!
