Rye flour/verm PF jars

Tahoe58 · 10-19-06, 11:44

this is my first grow, and these are my first pics of colonizing rye flour and verm PF TEK cakes. The same jar, the same location....this is the most advanced jar, 5 others are variously lesser colonized. looks like I am having good growth?? any comments welcomed.

Looking good. Keep us posted.

Keep the pic's rolling in as they progress.

tbonus · 10-19-06, 14:34

looks real normal so far!gluk

Tahoe58 · 10-30-06, 10:06

hello everyone...just thought I would post my progression since preparing the jars, their inoculation, and their full colonization. I will now wait a day or two for the centers to colonize, and then dunk them for 12-18 hours, and place in the fruting chamber. I have been toying with the idea of possibly crumbling and casing a couple of them, just to see, but I haven't made that decision as yet. But in the meantime, have been blessed with some good luck and a lot of helpful advice!

off to the races.....yeehhaaawwww!

thaks everyone for your comments...aprreciate the positive feedback.

Re: Rez Tek, not familiar with that but will certainly look into it.

Re; DE casing....I had thought that I would do the dunk and roll, assuming that is a similar approach?

Thanks again, and I'll keep posting pics as there is sumthin interesting to show

Hippie3 · 10-30-06, 11:15

dunk and roll are not substitutes for a double end casing
think of them as 'extra'
and do all three

Tahoe58 · 10-30-06, 11:50

thanks Hippie3. Luv ur posts and advice....I will do that. I am also considering a variety of approaches, and would sincerely appreciate ur feedback. I have been thinking that I might birth, dunk, roll, DC and place in fruiting chamber 2 cakes, and crumble/case 2, and crumble/spawn 2. For case I was going to use verm/coir, and for spawn, verm/coir/worm castings?

A lot of my thoughts for this come from the fact that I think I under-measured the amount of rye flour....and I am worred about sufficient nuts for the flushes. If this is the case, then I should see an imporvment in yield from the spawning approach?

Again, thanks, and your continued advice is most appreciated.

Hippie3 · 10-30-06, 13:04

nutes are almost never 'insufficient',
water is a more relevant concern.

Tahoe58 · 10-30-06, 13:25

thanks man....appreciate your advice....will keep truckin forward!

Tahoe58 · 10-31-06, 01:04

I took the plunge....so to speak....

.....will put into FC tomorrow afternoon, 4 as cakes, 1 as a crumble/case, and another 1 as a spawn.....when I opened the jars, that oh so talked about sweet fresh mushroom smell, oh so awesome.....we'll see how things go from here.....I'll post again when it's ok to take some pics again....

shroom_seeker · 10-31-06, 01:09

Good wishes to you and your cakes Tahoe. Keep us posted.

Tahoe58 · 11-01-06, 00:47

rye flour/verm cakes, dunked 24hrs, rolled and double end cased in dry verm, and into the PMP with perlite, two airstones, and aquarium heater. Temp 67F and rising (set for 70F), and RH 94% and rising. Guess we'll see where it goes from here.

Have to mention it again, that sweet frresh mushroom smell from those cakes is soooo tantilizing, I am soooo stoked!

Tahoe58 · 11-05-06, 18:17

well....things are moving along. rye flour/verm cakes dunked and rolled, and DC'd and in the FC for 4 days....first pins!!!! They said ur first pins would be exciting, and guess what? THEY ARE! I'll keep praying and crossing my fingers, but so far so good I think. I'll take more in the coming days....this is way too cool.

jrogers311 · 11-05-06, 18:20

Congratulations

Tahoe58 · 11-05-06, 19:47

SharkieJones · 11-05-06, 20:11

srgtm1a · 11-05-06, 20:29

I will post four more pin photos....I luv this stuff.

I also post a pic that looks an awful lot like possible contami????please say no...

Also a pic of myc that seems to be more than (too) wet....

Your feedback most appreciated.

waylitjim · 11-06-06, 12:04

I don't see any contams.
Condensation on the mycelium in normal.
Just make sure you're providing enough fresh air.
Congrats!

Tahoe58 · 11-07-06, 09:08

looking pretty I think......any thoughts regarding the timing of finishing this flush? I expect that there will also be aborts....but I was just thinking what my expectation would be for these pins to fruit and mature?

Tahoe58 · 11-07-06, 09:41

I thought I'd take some more pics.....just thought I would share....!

Mortandello · 11-07-06, 12:12
