Fist try with shroomz now - some whoppers
    #6779445 - 04/12/07 03:44 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

Well the first 7 days were tense and it took exactly 9 to actually see pins but now they're popping. I guess things were a little dry the first few days because I was too lazy to get a $5 hygrometer. doh.

Since I've never done this before I was begining to think that pins and actual mushrooms were just a dream, but nope, it's real.

They're cute! I like them.

Oh sorry - shoulda mentioned that. It's Alacabenzi from 101spores grown on rye then layered top and bottom with ready-mixed bed a beast coir/verm/sand and another 33% vermiculite.

5 days to colonize jars, 3 days incubation after casing and 9 days to pins. Now that I have control of the humidity I think it might only take 7 days next time.

"ommmmmm, the pinning is beginning...... ommmmmm, the pinning is beginning":p

progress - we got shroomzzzzZ! [Re: BarakaZulu]
    #6791869 - 04/15/07 07:09 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

...almost. These little guys are maybe 2" tall. I ate three of the biggest about an hour ago and I feel a little fluffy.



For the record this is day 21 from inoculation with alacabenzis from spores101. This is my very first try and I have to say I'm impressed with the strain and the success in general. I'f I'd used peat instead of coir to case and gotten a hygrometer sooner, I'd probably be enjoying full blown monsters already ;P

Nice job man. I have done the PF tek a couple times and never cased until recently, my first casing did'nt do the best. But now they are doing better. Definitly a nice job for the first try I must say. Keep it up, and keep us updated.

thanks guys.  Somebody ought to point out that my casing are no where near deep enough and that will probably make for some shrimpy shrooms :frown:  Not to worry, though, I've got horse poo on deck and some bigger tubs.

awww shucks, you don't want to wait that long...  I don't want to wait that long.  Maybe try those benzis?  I'm an engineer, though, so like that could be  an unfair advantage, lol.:cool:

Congratulations, so those casings looked dry a week ago-did you mist them 3-4 times daily or dunk them? Good work! enjoy. One more thing-there is no way it took only five days to get your jars colonized, it is not possible.

I put an entire 10cc into a jar once, and it was pretty much done within 5-6 days or so. I think it could be even faster using an LC.

Great grow, much better than my first casing heh.

I have a quart-sized mason jar that I inoculated 9 days ago from a LC and it is 80-90% colonized. The others are a little slower but trying to catch up.

5 days to colonize jars, 3 days incubation after casing and 9 days to pins. Now that I have control of the humidity I think it might only take 7 days next time.

He never cased. What happened here is beginners luck. To the newby's checking this out-this is not a good way to consistantly achieve decent results. That is all that I am saying.

yeah I was led a little bit astray by the tek I used where the 'casing' stop is actally colonizing coir/verm. The tricky detail is that I guess you aren't supposed to really incubate them afterwords *contrary to the tek*. I patched a little bit in the FC and was too lazy to get a hygrometer for a few days so the lack of humidity dried everything out :\

as for the colonization, I inoculated on a Saturday and by thursday night they all looked pretty much done. On friday I was scooping them out into the coir, so that's technically 5-7 although most of them were definitely done within 5.

Again this is the Alacabenzi Alabama/Mexican hybrid strain from spores101. They mention on the site that it's fast, reliable and resistant to contams, so I though it would be good for a n00b.

One thing I did was make absolutely sure the temp in the incubator was exactly 83 degrees in the center. I used 1.5cc of spores and shook each jar for a solid minute.

I just let the ultrasonic run waaay longer and shut off the cool mist for a few hours every day. Up here in the mountains, the cool mist actually drys out the FC in less than 30 minutes.

here are the first few little buddies whos veils started to tear. Little smaller than I expected but I skimped on the coir mixture so I could do all the pans without cooking more. That was dumb :\ but onward and upward!
