Noob Grow Log. (new pic of first shrooms 8/29)
    #14776607 - 07/16/11 09:17 AM (12 years, 6 months ago)

Hey guys. I just started my first grow. Mixed up my substrate for pf tek for 24 half pint jars. Pressure cooked at 15psi for 45 mins. Let it cool and inoculated this morning.
I do have a few concerns. My jars seemed darker than most pictures I see on this site. It seems like pressure cooking made it darker. Maybe it burned or there is too much water content now. Anyway, here is a pic of a couple of my jars. Let me know what you think.

Shoot for 60-90min.

The jars appear ok.

Not everyone uses the exact same flour, or grade of verm, so they can all look different. Good Luck! :thumbup:

Thanks guys. I thought 45 mins is enough at 121C since its only pf tek and not grains.

Should be ok :shrug: I've sometimes only steamed my jars for 45 Min... and came out ok. But I would NEVER advise anyone to do it less then 90.

Built my pmp today. Just Add Water! Used Lava rocks, TopFin 8000 pump, 4 airstones, silicone tubing, and 105 qt sterlite. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for your comments guys. Mixed 24 more jars today. I think I got the water content right this time. They are pressure cooking now. Will compare results tomorrow and inoculate.

I started to see the first signs of growth on most of my original jars. Still waiting on the others. only one of the new ones is showing signs. I also did 20 qt jars of popcorn. Waiting on them as well. I added less water to the new ones. I followed the 2:1:1 ratio exactly on those. The originals i just guessed at the water. The new ones seem to look dryer. Should I be worried?

The jars in the pics looked a little wet to me.  I would think drier would b better.  You should follow the tek's in the beginning. The recipes are written to give you cakes at the right moisture.

Popcorn can be a bitch to get the right moisture. How do those jars look?

I think the popcorn came out pretty well. I did the towel drying method and added some verm to soak up the rest. I hope the growth on the original brf cakes is not mold. They do seem to be starting at the innoc points tho. I'll post pics when I get home from work.

Good idea. I just started using popcorn again.  I had to do it like you said when I first tried it.  Now it seems ive gotten it down to a science:shrug:

Its really not a good spawn choice
