My first grow - Golden Teacher variety.
    #7693985 - 11/29/07 08:30 AM (16 years, 2 months ago)

[edit - I've posted a new message as of 2010 at the bottom]

Hi guys n girls!!.

Okay, I started this grow on 26th October, 2007 - last pics taken today (Nov 29th). I have followed the "PF-Tek For Simple Minds" tek, but only mods being I put sellotape on the jars to stop any air contams getting in (you could use cotton thread though or anything like that), anyway, these first 2 cakes you see fruiting started fruiting 3-4 days back. I am going to do the dunk tek to the other 4 jars that have not yet started fruiting but I birthed 4 days ago. And I have another 12 jars besides those 6 at 100% colonization now. The pics that are like, misty, I took from outside the chamber. It is like a plastic box with an inch of perlite and cakes on foil(the foil that was originally with it as a lid, sterile..).

So there you have it!. I will be posting updates as new things happen and the cakes I will be dunking today start the fruiting process. I hope you like the pictures, any comments/constructive criticism welcome!. :-).

Cheers,
Skunk.

Congrats! What was your incubator temps? Also, when you dunk and roll the other cakes, if you want, birth them right side up (instead of upside down like most people) and see if they grow from the bottom or top.. Most people just turn the jar upside down, birth on lid and place in FC without turning the cake over. RR recently said the reason for shrooms growing from the bottom is because that part of myc is closer to perlite but I'm not so sure.. So I'll experiment with this but my cakes are at 95% colonization so I still have around 72 hours before I'll be birthing them. Let me know what you think about this..

yo skunk man its me :P they good gfood man, but are you fanny those enough? they look a bit thin man i grew the same as you and used a clear plastic box and what not, same strain as well, and mine were alot fatter and that was the undunked cake, try fanny an extra couple of times a day.

im doing a cambodian grow atm, just inoced jars, ill trya nd bring over ya present before xmas :laugh:

my theory:

why do we have tolerance? because mother nature created us and shrooms, and she decides when we can see into other realms! and by the sounds of it that one every 2 weeks!

Nice looking grow. Enjoy the fruits.

c0_hushS aren't you supposed to wait a week after fully colonization before birthing a cake to allow the mycelium to get a good "grip" on the substrate?

I don't think I'll wait another week, maybe couple of days extra.. I don't see the logic of waiting until the core of the cake is colonized, not to mention after you birth them, it continues to colonize buth internally and externally, over teh verm layer after a dunk + roll.

I believe When the myc is growing externally, it's not only going across the outer layer, but also towards the middle of the cake anyway. Maybe I'm wrong but seems only logical.

That could have been from a number of different factors? I don't see a 100% cause and effect with that. Maybe this is my inexperience talking..

Hello again, thanks for the great comments! :laugh:.

Incubator temps were constant 27c all the way along. Also on my next grow I will turn some over, but I don't want to be turning any over halfway into the grow, maybe the shrooms would grow the wrong way?(I mean, try growing inwards etc). Anyway the veils opened on most of the big ones today on those 2 cakes so I picked them all, enough for a few trips... I am very happy! Another 16 to fruit too! And these first 2 I am sure will bless me with more fruits.

Anyway guys I'll be posting an update tomorrow with pics of the picked shrooms, and the 6 dunked cakes :laugh:

Cheers,
Ben.

PS: hey Andy yeah I've been misting daily, humidity was like 95-100% all the way... we gotta get together sometime soon I'll be on MSN tonight ok.

Okay ppls. I dunked 10 cakes 3 days ago, put them back in FC after 12 hours of dunking in the fridge (I didnt roll after, though.. I forgot). It seems the dunking made a lot of the cakes begin to pin, like now all of them bar a couple are fruiting nicely and the one that started first has the same as the first flush from the first 2 cakes on it already!. I figure the dunking gave them a cold shock which is what they needed. Pics to come when mum finds her mobile phone :frown:. I think someone stole it so if thats the case, no pics to come only updates :frown:. wish you guys could see these dunked cakes!!!

Ben.
