my casings

tobynutz · 04-04-05, 17:44

heres a couple of my casings and a single cake. both casings are amazon, and the cake is tex. i hope to get some bigguns off these. the round one is 2 pints of wbs and the ice box is 3 pints. the subs are very deep, so i hope to get some bigguns. i have a shatload of mex-pal pints 90-100% done, but i have to wait for my "window" to actually put them to use. i will post pics as they grow. stay tuned for more

kam · 04-04-05, 18:20

I have 3 straight-vermiculite casings of WBS right now which are fruiting, and they're the first casings I've made. With about 2-3" of substrate, the fruits are pretty small (3-5" with thin stems). I think it's good that you've used quite a bit more. I have heard that WBS tends to produce small fruits when cased instead of spawned, and I also had problems because it took me a while to figure out how much to water them. Make sure to keep those bad boys well nourished!

LOoks good Toby,straight verm casing I'm assuming from the pic?

Keep us posted.

tobynutz · 04-05-05, 00:06

yeah cutty, i woulda done peat/verm but that damn "window" can be one tricky bitch. eventually, i will not have to deal with it, but for now im stuck

tobynutz · 04-05-05, 15:14

the cake had cobweb, so i sprayed it with h2o2 and segregated it. then i got bored, so i crumbled it up and buried it in a flower pot. i will plant grass on top of that now.

tobynutz · 04-07-05, 10:03

ok, i built a little log thingy with a rediculous amount of spawn. there are two full pints packed into this little log, and its all layered and mixed for quick colonization.....hopefully. the myc is already recovering and growing out, so i think it will do fine. the pic sucks, cuz there is a lot of moisture on the bag and there is glare, sorry

tobynutz · 04-08-05, 12:24

still no pins on the casings, but the log is really taking off. i think the huge amount of spawn will really cut down on the colonization time. it has shown a shatload of growth since i made it. it is mex-pal from a dark ass karo syringe. the grain colonization speed was phenomenal. less than a week for the rye pints, and a lil longer on the pcorn. i will get some more pics up when they actually start pinning

tobynutz · 04-21-05, 00:58

it has been a long ass time since i have been on lol. these damn casings still havent pinned yet. im starting to get pissed. im about to bury em in a flower pot and start over.

Alkady Mycomania · 04-21-05, 10:54

Tobynutz, is that a straw log? Looks like it's coming along beautifully! Does the casing have any overlay? All I did for pins was just wait, not much advice coming from me

Post some pictures if you can!

sandman · 04-21-05, 11:48

it will pin!

~Hippie3 · 04-21-05, 12:54

dunk it

python · 04-21-05, 17:33

yup, you could try a dunk, but light is goingh to be the biggest factor in getting it to pin......

i've never had great results with straight verm casings myself.......

tobynutz · 04-24-05, 01:47

yeah, the verm sucks lol. i scraped and misted and the strawlog is now pinning

. here are some pics of a mycro cake a buried in a lil flower pot and covered in peat/verm

tobynutz · 04-24-05, 02:03

holy resize batman!

destroy_erase_improve · 04-24-05, 07:24

i love the last picture with the cap with the veil just starting to tear away. great closeup , shows all the moisture and fluffyness.
very nice !

~Hippie3 · 04-24-05, 07:28

nice
this should join the grow logs in the new vaults

tom-e · 04-24-05, 10:30

I have the same casing with second flush Z strain dunked with verm only. My casing looks similiar to that.
This is day 4 after dunking and day 3 after casing.
Are these cowebs?

sry im still new to da mushies

dgtlcraze · 04-24-05, 11:56

Those are very possibly the best pictures i have ever seen!
What kind of camera is that your using?

tom-e · 04-24-05, 12:00

LOL kodak DX3500 its da shittiest camera ever, i think its like 150 Cnd$

tobynutz · 04-24-05, 13:38

i just got a nikon for my birthday. the closeups are nice as hell on a couple of em. im happy with it

.

Lazlo · 04-24-05, 13:46

Man that camera is nice! Someone else here has a Nikon that takes awesome pics. I need to invest in one of them. Nice pics!

tobynutz · 04-25-05, 21:34

my little loggy has loads of pins on it

hopefully they will mature into big heathy specimens. i will get some pics up later tonight

cheeseball · 04-25-05, 22:17

where is a good site to compare digital camera's sorry if it's off track.

uisce beatha · 04-25-05, 23:37

Cub in the third pick has spores dripping off it's veil, looks like it got excited before it stripped. Seriously though, amazing close-ups, I can see the individual fibers through your photos better than if it were in front of me. That must be a happy Xbox.

tobynutz · 04-28-05, 12:16

still no pins on either of the verm casings. im thinking about crushing em up and spawning em to poo/coir or something similar. i think i'll do a couple bins like dd.
