attempt two begins

This will be my grow log
my first attempt grow bag had to be aborted it didn't grow in 8 weeks not a bit and my holiday was fast approaching,,after a great holiday I'm back and got it on the go again I'm following the pf tek pretty much to the word with brf and verm, my PC is crap with no valve but i have managed anyway using a dish cloth to sit on the pot the steam was good and managed 90 Min's with no top up,my first 4 glasses was done yesterday inoculated and incubated at around 76 c I'm using amazonian spore solution which was sent instead of Cambodian but never mind, i feel that though following the tek when making my mix that it was a little dry and seemed to come out of the PC dry but checked it just now and it looks as though there is a little moisture in them so thats a weight off my mind also i used slightly more solution than i wanted to but Ive enough to manage 3 more which are cooling as i speak , something annoys me is people talk cc but my syringes come ml must look into that conversion. hopefully my PC will be cool and the jars to inoculate last thing tonight then I'm back to the waiting game 
well ive just found out that a ml and a cc are almost the same so that clears that up, my other 3 glasses im going to inoculate in twenty mins,just learnt about cold shocking as ive read that with amazonian it works well i think ive got that cleared up and sorted simple enough not sure bout dunkin them though do you do this after or before ?? or is it not needed ? something ive not come accross

They look pretty clumpy and wet to me.
What exactly was your recepie?
I always do 2 part verm, then add 1 part water, THEN add 1 part flour. In that order. It allows the verm to soak up the water, then the flour coats the verm nicely and uniform.
You should move this to the Grow Log section also.

I measured out a glass that im using a quarter and 3/4 quarters on the glass put 3 times 3/4 glasses of verm then wet the verm down til it was moist then added 3 quarter glasses of brf mixed thoughly and added to 4 glasses which it measured out to but the second batch i done the same except after mixing the brf i added more water to get the consistency i had before i added flour and dryed the mix out so ill see either way what grows best

as it happens i didn mention that i sprayed the boxes with detol anyway but sat on a box or not its not important i have a sready temp of 78 f not c lol on a slightly different note im finding it all very confusing and the more i read the worse its getting after someone said pf tek aint whats it cracked up to be but can be made easier using lc can i ask anyone reading if using grain is a stronger better substrate than brf ???

So my jars have been incubating at just under 80 f now for 3 and 4 days now im trying not too look at the jars only keeping check on the thermometer that said i looked today and the first batch looks dry and floury and the second a little wet so it could work out anyway i made them both a little different cos the first batch looked dry so added slightly more water on the second lot also i had to interupt the pc for a top up on the first but got the full 90 mins on the second due to a adjustment so both lots of glasses has been done differently im just going to order some more spores to make a lc
a question for anyone who knows is, is it neccesary to used distilled water for the lc or can i use boiled tap water or even just mineral water ???? appreciate any answers

90 minutes!!! at 15 psi an hour should be plenty for brf. sure everything will be fine, check back on ur jars in another 3 days and u should see some growth by then 
while u wait , why not start an lc culture. Then knock up some jars with that, and u will be amazed at how fast they grow from an lc. My first lc colinised fully in about just over a week !!!!

After reading about lc and a mycelium syringe im thinking can i put the two teks together and on birthing a cake taking a sample of mycelium and using it make a lc it seems a lot simpler than making the myc syringe and not needing a multi spore syringe unless you want to grow another strain
has anyone got a reason this would not work as ive convinced myself it will ?

It will work... but you might consider growing those cakes out and taking a tissue sample of the best few shrooms you get, and then make the according number of LC's.

Well my glasses are doing fine one from the second batch the one i refer to as the wet one is just taking over you can almost watch it grow which is great its real thick myc the dryer jars are more strand like which kinda fits the rhyzomorphic grow but having never seen this before i am yet too learn. ive just ordered some sphagnum peat moss which im assured will be fine for casing a couple of my cakes 50/50 style with verm, and some baby bottles for making the lc tek its all getting pretty cool think ive accidently found a hobby which will last me years im hooked

Heres an update of my grow same as before the one wetter glass with the very strong mycelium is going well and the other 3 dryer mixes are moving but the mycelium is wispy and not as thick as the wet one infact looks nothing like the same ive got some pics below but note the glasses that looks 100% colonised are not even 20% but is the dry floury mix i done first so anyway heres some pics
 This is 1st batch dryer mix but strong bit of myc
 This one is dry mix to but wispy and hard to see in this pic
 this is the wet mix and as you can see good strong myc
i did think at 1st the dryer mix due to looking so different was a nasty but after looking through the gallery ive seen otherwise but the contrast between the wet and dry mix myc is amazing the wet is real thick not sure why , but im guissing the spores in all the mixes werent distributed evenly as i only shook the syringe once during each ennoculation ?! Any feed back comments anything at all are welcome and appreciated !!

O.k my glasses are doing well same as normal bit more growth though ive ordered some spores from 101 being cambodian brazilian and hawaii mushroom spores and am currantly awaiting delivery they are great value as with special delivery they still only work out £10 each and ive been paying £19.95 for one here in england, the only difference is next day delivery. ive just found out im gonna go work in ireland for four weeks soon:( so my lc may have to wait but ill give that more thought later.

ARg, the green meanies, have had a few of them, now that i have a glovebox i should hopefully only see greenies everyonce in a while.
Its all looking good, once the jars look 100% leave them for about 5 days, then dunk for 24 hours, roll in some verm then into your fruiting chamber, with lots of humidity, give plenty of air exchang.

even with a glovebox u can still get baddies, a glovebox doesnt guareentee a completly sterile enviroment, it just provides an enclosed atmosphere where contams are less likely to land on anything (still air)

So two of my glasses are pretty much 100% colonised and have just set up my fc to make sure i can get every thing perfect and so far i have a temp at 72f and humidity at 90% so am gonna work on the temp a little and i think by the time i spray the fc a little over the next couple of hours ill get the humidity spot on
ive just pc the 3 glasses that are dead and will empty and bleach them tommorow
still waiting on my spores from 101 hopefully they will arrive soon am going to try the myc syringe tek to keep the amazonian going but will also try spore printing
so far so good only wish i had the incubater at 86 f the whole time cos they have really grown since i raised the temp I have a question if any one can help the wet glass that i have mentioned in this tek and started real strong and has real thick myc has slowed since i upped the temp where the others have spead up any ideas to why ??

so the story goes out of the four remaining glasses ive ive still two incubating the one that stalled i have opened in a glove box and done the syringe tek got a massive amount of myc and have ennoculated four more brf cakes just to see if i acn get that down the half of cake ive put into the fc and am waiting to see if it grows on 
In the mean time one of my colonises cakes is being dunked after a four day waiting period that ill roll and put into fc tommorow im just waiting on two more glasses thats in the incubater almost colonised so its all go  just need my spores to turn up now and ill be  peace and good fortune

I'm not sure why ur jars seemed to speed up after raising the temps.
myc growth will usually slow after 83. 86 is too high and generally favours growth of contams.
80 is just fine. stalled growtgh could be down to co2 build up or . I'm thinking more along the lines of too much moisture.

Should be fine, as long as all the uncolinised bits are cut of, if done probably you should get a few shrooms.
I have 3 cakes of lipa yia waiting to pin (2 days in FC) i probably could have got another flush of my old cakes, but spores everywhere (left me shrooms a day too late for picking) and decided to harvest what was there and clean everything out and give me a wee break from the shrooms.

i have now birthed another cake and is in the fc still no signs of pins but the myc has got relly thick and fluffy so maybe it will be soon hopefully. still no signs of my spores but should be soon. i have enoculated four more brf cakes but i extracted some myc by sqiurting some distilled water into the cake that stalled and sucking it back up and injected four glasses of substrate which is showing no signs of growth after three or so days so that might not work.
