DAY 6 Casing - 3rd Day after Patching


And another great morning to all.
I have some new photos of the casings a day later after clearing off the nasty Cobweb.

These are great comparison shots for one days growth.

More Photos From Today







Current casing is Very Simple 50/50 Non-Modified.
  • Jiffy-Mix (Peat with Lime already added for PH Balance)
  • Medium-Coarseness Horticulture Grade Vermiculite 
  • Tap Water
  • Pasteurized (Not Long Enough)for 20 minutes @ 200 degrees
  • Pasteurization needed as stated above by: "Agar" Pasteurize: 1 hour @ 170 degrees.


A quick question for more experienced cultivators:
  • During Fruiting, are temperature fluctuations throughout the day (Never exceeding the LOW and HIGH Thresholds) more beneficial and natural to the fruit. It seems in nature the temps dip down at night giving off pinning triggers like crazy (Wind, Light on - Light Off, and a Drop in Temperature)


Mentioning this because my FC stays at about 74-78 degrees during the day, and a little less like 72 at night some times.

Are the cooler nights:
  • "Not a Likely Variable"
  • "More Natural and Beneficial for Pinning"

Any Estimates On

?? WHEN PINNING WILL BEGIN ??

Well this link: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/6695834/an/0/page/0
to RR's "What Conditions Trigger Pinning" post answers my question.

Quote:

RR: I have seen no correlation with temperature drop whatsoever. In the summer, my growing chambers are 10 or more degrees warmer than the open shelves I incubate on due to the heating effects of the lights. Even with a temperature increase, I still get wall to wall pinsets, so I don't consider temp drop relevant at all to tropical species. Other growers disagree of course, but that's just my observation after many years.




After reading this I agree that a fluctuation of the temperature dropping lower than normal does not benefit pinning.
Possibly slowing down growth?

True, there are certainly optimal temps for both vegetative growth as well as generative (fruiting) growth in which growth is fastest but it's all relative "growth vs. temp" so it not a big deal overall. There are other more important factors in getting a prolific pinset consistantly. I've seen pinset so tight that fruits were smaller than one would like due to nutrient demand placed upon the substrate and I've also seen prolific pinsets bolt all at once thus aborting the whole pinset/crop, so there can certainly be a too prolific pinset that results in less than desirable cropping. Bottom line try for optimal if you can, if you can't don't sweat it unless your parameters are too far out of range of course.

-This will be my final progressive posting on this particular thread (Except for Questions, Answers, and Comments).-


After 5 days I've had great success reading, thinking, and being patient with my first ever casing and experimenting all together.
Soon I'll start another thread off where this one ends so you can see the experiment as it progress further.
I'll post a Link to the new thread when available.

Gulf Coast Strain
  • Started from a spore syringe.
  • Experimental WBS, BRF, Verm Substrate
  • Cased with Jiffy-Mix and Verm
  • Temps 72-76 degrees
  • RH 80%-90%


Day 1 of Pinning

Day 2 of Pinning


Any thoughts or comments are greatly appreciated and very beneficial.
Thanks Everybody
