Costa Rica Strain log
    #7494768 - 10/07/07 03:00 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

Everyone, i had a hunch that Costa Rica strain would be a good non-contamination-prone strain for my first time grow. Ive been very curious as to what to expect from my grows but i notice there are very few logs or information on this strain. Therefore, i thought that i would attempt to make my own log.

So far, i am 24 days into colonization and my two jars are at 95% and 85% colonized. I have been taking pix of mycelial growth every other/few days when noticable growth has occurred. One observation about this strain is that rhizomorphic growth only happens at the start. From 6-9 days until now, mycelium growth is characterized by a semi-solid, migrating mass of white; exhibiting no features of rhizomorphism but no features of contams either. This may have something to do with using the heating pad method but who knows.

PIX:
day6

day9

day11

day14

day19

day23


Once they are completely colonized (maybe 4 days from now) i will dunk them both for 12-18 hours, slice one into 4 peices and crumble the other, place in an aluminum tray (6x10x3) over 1/4 in. of damp verm, and case with a 1/4-1/2 inch of 60/40 coco coir/verm casing material with added crushed oyster shell (about 10-15% by volume).

I will then set it in the fruiting chamber with a base of damp perlite (90% humidity-droplets on side of chamber but not dripping). Hopefully, pins will form within a week but i have heard of it taking longer than normal to initiate pinning.

Someone plz tell me if theyve had success/unsuccess with this strain and if any of my methods sound risky or incorrect. This will be updated once again once i get pix of the fruits and more information from my experiences with this mysterious strain. The major purpose of this is to give info to growers wanting to try costa rica strain.
