First Grow - Hawaiian *new mycoporn*
    #7745993 - 12/11/07 05:12 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

*updates on last page*


Hey everyone. I just thought I'd post a couple pics and share the excitement of my first grow.

I bought two syringes, one Creeper and the other Hawaiian, and knocked up several jars about four weeks ago. It took about two weeks (and lots of impatience) to see the first signs of growth. I also attempted to make some LCs using a mixture of agar-agar and dextrose.

Growth of the Hawaiian has exploded, with tons of nice rhizo spreading around super fast. Strangely, the Creeper never showed any growth, neither in the jars nor the LC. They were actually made a week before the Hawaiians, so it's been about 5 weeks for them with nada. Bad syringe? Who knows, but the jars are still contam free so I'm pondering using some LC to get them going too. Lost one jar to cobweb already, it's sitting in a cupboard so I can kinda watch the two duke it out and see what happens. as i type this i am also PCing two quart jars of WBS to experiment with. here are the pics:

a couple jars showing my hawaiian myc


my agar-dex LCs, both Hawaiian. Took 10 days to grow and throw in the fridge.


strong rhizo growth



and a new jar that I knocked up with LC less than forty hours ago




cheers!

Yeah man, looks good. I'm starting my own first grow very soon and I couldn't be more pumped. Doing the PF Tek method first, but after that I want to move on to something more large-scale. Anybody have any good ideas as to what that should be?

Just look up Bulk Growing under Mushroom Cultivation.

Day 3 on my jars and I'm still not seeing any mycelium, but I used spores too, and not an LC.

Is it my imagination or do I see whole grains of rice in those jars? :cool:

In any case those jars look pretty good. 

I never had much luck getting pint jars to colonize in a timely manner, but I only tried a couple times.  Maybe I should give it another go now that I've got a good bit more experience with the half pints. 

Keep us posted bro.
:goodluck:

That's some healthy looking myc.. It'll grow faster still and should fully colonize within a week or so i'd say.. Keep us in the loop with more pics until fruiting.

My first grow was a pf tek into a two liter pop bottle.

My next one will be a monotub with hpoo sub and wbs spawn, with 50/50+ casing layer. I'm really worried about it though. I don't want to dick it up because if I do then I'm letting down myself and my friends...important it is to me.
Good luck with yours though, and if you wanna be grow friends/partners, I'm down with that.

Make a few cakes as a backup. if everything turns out ok you will have a few extra shrooms, and if it doesn't you'll still have enough for a dozen people

yeah you do haha, i was originally going to use BRF, but could only find whole brown rice and rye flour and bought both.  I tried chopping up the rice in an old food processor (i mean OLDDD, 25+ years) and ended up burning the motor out after about 45 min.  so i used a mixture of rye flour with some of my chopped up rice, some of which wasn't chopped at all.

Sterility is KEY for agar. If it exists in the air it's going to be growing on your plate when you inoculate it :smile:. Good luck with it anyways. Tell us how it goes.

hey all, little update here

original hawaiian multispore jars are finishing up.  they just have to colonize the bottoms, but i'm worried that the substrate is too dry.  these are jars that i screwed up the water content on, adding half of what should normally be in there.  for fun, i tried making up a couple honey LCs which went beautifully and are now in the fridge.  i knocked up five pint jars with one of the honey LCs on the 12th, so 11 days ago now, and some of them are almost done.  very fast.  my two original bird seed jars both contamed with trich, i didn't have proper lids.  threw it all out, PCed the jars twice, and started over with three new quarts of WBS to see if i can get it to work this time around.  i also thought it would be fun to experiment with some of my favorite whole grain pasta a couple days ago :laugh:

one of the honey LCs


three original jars, same as in the other two posts, these are going slowly now due to lack of water


five new honey LC pint jars innoced on 12/12, 11 days old and almost finished


a fun little experiment :smile:


3 days after innoc, we'll see how it goes

ya i've been eating it for years because i love it so much, and it's so much better than plain pasta. it has a crap ton of protein, fiber, and its enriched with omega-3s. i had a little epiphany the other day when simmering my wbs and thinking about lunch haha. i looked at the ingredient list on the box: semolina, grain and legume flour blend (lentils, chickpeas, egg whites, spelt, barley, flaxseed, oat fiber, oats) durum flour, and then some vitamins, niacin, riboflavin etc etc. so i figured it might be a perfect substrate and thought i'd try it out. there are no preservatives so i figure no fungicides.

pic of the FC and four cakes that have been in there a few days, one a couple longer than the others. are these knots what turn into pins? i'm curious as this is my first time. what causes these formations versus the other fuzzy growth that is overtaking the rolled verm?

remember that if you dont see any pins its always safe to lightly mist with a little water/h2o2 mix to make sure nothing takes hold of your cakes.

Don't mist with water and peroxide -_-. It needlessly stresses your mycelium which can result in longer pinning times. Straight water is fine.

update

lots of growth, tons of pins, lots of pics for you guys

first, the FC as of 10 min ago:


here are two mutants i had to pluck just now, they both have two caps.  they were starting to overturn a cake and also release spores so i got them out of there


some good lookers






some advice on this one?  looks like myc on top of the caps.  hope it doesn't eat them ha.


with the success of the pasta jar (see previous posts) i knocked up nine more with the honey LC 6 days ago that are coming along nicely




and a little experiment i started 2 days ago :smile:  have three of these going in the inc at the moment



cheers!

Mycelium on the caps is sign of low humidity.

It's just a sign, could've been a dry area while the pin was poking it's head, if the rest are fine you're cool. But it won't eat the mushroom, don't worry.

could be a dry area, they are on the backside of the cake compared to where i stand to mist, so that seems a perfect explanation. another mutant seems likely too, there seem to bee plenty popping up. there are tons of bubble-like things that grow to the size of marbles but never develop caps.

they're growing quick so i'm sure they'll be fine, i just remember a post where RR mentioned he had seen myc overtake and "reconsume" pins that had slowed down in growth.

I remember that too, I believe (don't quote me on this) those were under developed substrate cakes that would continue to grow outward...

Good thing about mutants, as compared to any other mutants is they are just as good as the original... bwhahaha, if only humans could be so carefree.

Lookin' good bud.
I've got one jar done. My LC didn't take, and thus the jars I knocked up with my false-LC didn't work (except in two pints). Suck, for sure.
I hit them up w/ some good LC last night and in about ten days I'll be set for some more work.
But again, good work

What strain are you using, if I may inquire?

Nice, pick the verm. off the stem before you eat them, not nice on the stomach. But regardless, nice flush buddy.

I'm really curious to see how that pasta works out. Are you gonna case the pasta straight or spawn it to something? Either way I'd love to see what springs out!

i actually just birthed the pasta cakes out into the FC PF-style. Interestingly, it has continued to grow rhizos out in all directions during the last couple weeks. Hopefully it will begin knotting up soon. The nine other 1/2 pint pasta jars are almost finished and I will likely need to find room for them by next weekend.

On your casing that you have from where it was when you posted i would wait another 2-3 days. Usually i case when the top is almost completely covered, and also what would help is put a piece of tin foil over the whole entire casing with no space over the substrate, it keeps moisture in really well. Grats on those cakes those look awesome! Hawaiians are not the easiest strain and you did very well :thumbup:

thanks for the replies everyone

i wouldn't have guessed that hawaiians aren't the easiest to grow, i can't seem to do anything wrong with them. they eat everything.

here is the pasta cake i was talking about. don't know when it's going to kick into gear


here are the others, almost done. hopefully they will fruit more easily. the pasta is just so cheap and easy i couldn't resist trying it out.


the tub again, another day you think? i have no experience here.

right...

well anyways, i had a great time after eating some of a fresh flush yesterday.  All in all, probably around 13-14g fresh.  Saw some awesome OEVs.  Can't wait to have some more next weekend.

This almost sounds cliche, but thank you to everyone on this site for all the help that lead me to my success.  All the information here is 1000000000x better than simple trial and error (although everyone can always use a bit of this too! :grin:)
