Ecuador on cased grain bags -- 100s of pins -- New pics updated 12/30
    #7801698 - 12/26/07 06:57 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

Here are two trays of Ecuador cubes grown from two grain bags. They were inoculated on Nov. 5 and were put into the fruiting chamber on around Dec. 15 (approx. 10-11 days ago). I decided to do the grain bags because I did not have a pressure cooker at the time. I used RR's verm/peat/lime/gypsum casing recipe and hyphae's pinning strategy.

So far, things have gone so excellently that I'm really excited!

That this is my first grow is not quite true; six and seven years ago I tried twice in college to grow via the PF Tek, but failed both times due to contaminants and too-wet substrate, despite using a pressure cooker on the second attempt.

I counted over 200 pins on one of these trays, so we'll see how many of them are brought to maturity.

Enjoy.


















Here are a couple pics of the Penis Envy trays in progress and about a week behind the Ecuadors:

How did you sterilize the grain bags if you didn't have a PC? or did you buy them ready made?

Yes, they were ready-made spawn bags.

Nice work, alot of them might abort, but im sure you will get a pretty decent flush out of that.

Avoid misting when there are primorida/knotting

http://www.shroomery.org/5178/What-do-primordia-pins-look-like

Once they devolop to pins it should be ok to mist, give a good fan after misting, this should help evaporate moisture that has landing on them.

RR have you created another user account?? or is that someone in ur team??

Even if alot do abort, that is a damn good pinset, multispore ??

Thanks. I know it is generally OK to mist/supply water at all stages of fruiting and that it's generally a good idea to supply a fine mist for careful delivery, especially during pinning -- is it recommended to begin that extra-cautious watering from the point that, say, the PE pictured above is at now, all the way until the current pinning state of, say, the Ecuador above?

The PE is *just* starting to pin. You can spot one in the photo. Should the Ecuadors be treated like they are still at the stage where they should be watered with extra care, or is that kind of caution only really necessary primarily while hyphae are still forming and pins haven't set yet?

The "bleach sprayer" pump up sprayer I bought does not provide a fine mist at all. I've settled on a small hand-held mister from the supermarket, the type that a hairstylist might use.

Thanks. So at this stage, it should be OK to be misting. I followed hyphae's strategy as closely as I could understand it and did not water during the knotting phase, which ended several days ago. I didn't even see any knotting on the casing surface. I woke up on Friday morning (5 days ago) to a bunch of little pins. I was expecting to see a lot of growth on the surface first, like a tray of Cambodians I had already had in the fruiting chamber a few days.

Yes, on the multi-spore --- these are syringes from Ryche Hawk.

you should go and try and find a good sprayer. i used a hair spray bottle one like yours. and it sucked. sure it was a fine mist. but i cant believe how good the spray bottle is i got for a buck from my local garden center!

Here are some pictures showing the progress in 24 hours:










And here is the other tray of Ecuadors, a couple days behind the other:

Here's a picture of some of the fruits.



Before I introduce new trays to my fruiting chamber, I'm hoping that all this new white growth in the photos below is new mycelium/hyphae and not some sort of contam?



That's the tray that hasn't had its first harvest yet. The one below is the tray that was harvested within the last 24 hours.



The pins (aborts?) look awful blue, which I suppose would be normal, but the white stuff worries me for some reason.....

collect some white 'stuff' roll it in your fingers and observe if it bruises or not.

If some cobweb try a 8:1 sol. of water:hydrogen peroxide

This is excellent advice which goes for cakes too.. I've misted aggressively only to cause aborts and since learned my lesson.
