Hi everyone. I saw that sporeworks restocked their supply of spppores for the albino penis envy.
I'm really excited to grow this one out.
I will use this place as my grow log.
Cannabis grows are out of the question.
wish me luck!!!!

Thanks for stopping by guys! I hope you enjoy the grow log.
I haven't even started this project and it's already been a ton of hassle.
It's been a few years since I have grown mushies. I am having to relearn things.
I think I have almost all the stuff I need to get this project underway.
I'm going to be using coir as the spawn medium and will be spawning with organic rye berries.
I kept my gigantic All American pressure cooker (AA930). I love that thing.
The thing that's given me the most hassle thus far is my new glove box.
I'm not a very good grower of mushrooms but have had some success in the past. I really hope I don't let you guys (and myself!) down here.
I've got something very very special planned for the fruits of my labor though.
Pictures to come in the next week or so.
I'm going to have visitors Monday so I will have to wait until after that to do the pressure cooking of the rye.
Then the spores should get here late next week as well.

Holy crap, thanks for the rating Dr. Siekadellyk!
I was to start the project tonight but I just realized I don't have any more gypsum. Which I want to use in the soak I do. So I measured out a little less than a cup of dry organic rye berries per quart jar. There are 14 quart jars. It works out to be about 8.5 lbs of rye berries. Here's a couple of pictures. Much more to come.



Tomorrow I will get the gypsum and start the soak. Then I think in the evening I will do the simmering and drying. Then later tomorrow actually do the pressure cooking and let them cool overnight. Then sunday will be Inoculation Day 2011! I don't take pictures while im doing glovebox work though. I can't wait to see the pinset on these bad boys. I was thinking about doing a g2g also. Just so i can have more in the fridge for when im ready to rock and roll with more. I just need to preserve this one better than the last. I want to do an isolate of my best specimen too. but i dont want to get ahead of myself here. I could rant about this all night. Instead i'll ask a question.
This being a site that's all about pot I was wondering if anyone else here grows mushrooms, or has grown mushrooms before???

Hi double, thanks for stopping by.
I am going with a bulk sub, yes. If i had my way I would be using horse shit, but since that isn't really an option for me (apt living ftl).
So I am going to use coir. Hopefully it all works out.
I just did about 8 rinsings of the rye. then added a tbsp of gypsum to the mix. I'll allow the rye to soak for about 10 hours. then boil them for a bit and load them into the jars and get them into the pressure cooker. more to come...

Thanks! Well, i encountered my first little hicup. I think i was too aggressive in stirring up the rye when it was setting out. I've got too many busted kernels im afraid. I stirred them around once ever 3 hours or so. the rye soaked in the water for 10 hours today. then i drained the water out and rinsed off the kernels but this time using strainers to rinse with clean water. Then refilled the container with rye and water and 1 tbsp of gypsum. now it's on the burner simmering for a bit - absorbing more water. next i will dry them off, load them up in the jars that i've been preparing and pc them bastards. I find this to be the biggest pain in the ass of all this. Sterilization and inoculation. I hope to god i have no contaminates. I can't deal with any more of that bullshit. blah! yadda yaddda
 That's a pic of them after a 10 hour soak.

now im more concerned about how dry the kernels actually are on the surface. moisture content internally looks good. I just spent a lot of time putting the jars together. My pressure cooker holds 14 quart jars. ive got it just starting to cook now. Pictures!
^boiling
After boiling
 all of the rye
after i let the kernels dry for a while after boiling them
all bagged up!
 ready for the PC

I'm probably getting close to the limit of uploads here. not too sure though. So i bought a sponsorship to the site. this place is pretty cool. im hoping for those mycelium shots in one week.

Thanks dude! I just inoculated the 14 jars. Damn i forgot how ridiculous this whole process really is. I was up till 4 am with that pressure cooker last night. Now im done for the night and the jars were just left in the glovebox for the night. In fact, i think I will probably keep them incubating inside the glove box. Should be ineresting to see what happens. The needle was thicker than i thought and left some giant holes. Anyway, here's a few more pics.

these are both pictures from just prior to inoculation about an hour ago. I actually think the grains are pretty much near perfect. So far so good. Pray for no contaminates.

Four days into colonization and they are showing no sign of mycelium. They are at 78-79 degrees. I kept them in my glovebox to colonize. Hopefully I see something by sunday. I kind of expected these things to take a while to get fully colonized. I'm probably going to sterilize more grain and do a g2g transfer so i have more myc to spawn with. will be using the following tek...
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=30&Number=9289857&fpart=&PHPSESSID=
and this will be my sound track...

here's what i hope the finished product will look like.
 that is without a casing layer.

that could be. thanks for the advice! I'm going to place some micropore tape on the top of them, where the injection holes are. then i can take them out of this glovebox and feel a bit safer about contams not entering in the jars. I did notice some new myce growth in one jar last night. But also bear in mind that i haven't given these jars a thorough, 360 degree, examination yet. I will do that after i put the tape on later today. so there is something brewing!

I went ahead and reapplied that micropore tape over the inoculation holes and moved all 14 jars to a different location. They are in the cabinet above my fridge. It's hovering around 80 degrees up there. They should get more air exchange up there. I noticed a lot of mycelium starting to form in some of the jars. not so much in others. I'll post pics when there's something to look at.

Since placing the jars in a different place and putting the tape on the top of the jars I have noticed that the mycelium is starting to grow much faster now. Still at 80 degrees outside the jars. I wonder what the difference is between the outside and inside temperature is. You have to imagine that it's warmer in the jar than out.

ya know I got to admit at first I was a little weirded out to see a shroom grow here rather than at the shroomery, but I'm enjoying this, takes me back 
Best of luck! Quite an interested strain you've chosen to work with, I'm excited to see how they fruit.

Thank you Mr. Ba11sach! Awesome avatar!!!!! It seems weird to me that a person with the name ballsach would be weirded out by a shroom grow in the 'other growables' section. hehe, I signed up for the shroomery (someone already had my name over there, argh!) but can't see the flippin grow journals section over there, so here it stays! I smoke a fair amount of pot too, so I will probably have some cannabis grow logs in the future for everyone to enjoy. Thanks for stopping by! I will try not to fuck up.

Thanks man!!!! I worked damn hard to get them that way.
i think the grain is just about perfect as far as water content is concerned. The jars aren't full of moisture either. So im thinking that at 80 degrees it may take another couple weeks. I'm not rushing this one too much. I'm actually going to be gone in early april so I may wait until after then to do my spawn run. I reread the mushroom cult bible the other day. So I refreshed my knowledge a bit. Slow going here. Thanks to everyone who's taken a look thus far! I really appreciate the encouragement.

It's been 13 days since inoculation. There was quite a bit of real growth going on in some of the jars. They've been colonizing at 80 degrees. All jars are contamination free at this point. I shook the jars for the first time today. So hopefully in the next few days we'll see more evenly distributed mycelium growth rather than just where the spore solution was sprayed. This process should be done before the next two weeks are over with. Here are some pictures.

The mycelium isn't as rhizomorphic as I would like, but that can be worked out through some strain isolations later on.

Did you take em? How did it turn out? Thanks man, i appreciate that! I've got a new update. Growth has been faster than expected since the last shake. I am going to do one more with most of these and then it should be done. a few of them aren't going very quickly as you can see in the pictures.

Thanks dude! It's too late, already shook em. I like when i shake them at this point. The white just disappears and the jars look almost like they did before i started colonization. I think that's neat. The jars are still colonizing. AND, i have decided to restart this entire process this weekend. I think I am going to do 14 more jars and will probably use two jars to do the g2g transfers. I just want to make sure i keep this strain alive. It's wonderful and potent as fuck. But back to your comment, I was considering not shaking them too. Some of them were really dense with mycelium. But oh well. I hate to make the mycelium regenerate so many times as I have to speculate that that can't be beneficial. but idk.

Pictures from last night:

Pictures from just now:
 
that last one isn't very clear but you get the idea. white out! These are going into the refrigerator for now. I am going to be out of town in a few weeks, so I am hoping to have all my jars colonized before then. The new jars I have made are like 3/4 of the way full. i put in too much. There are 14 of them as well. I may dump some of them out when i do the G2g, which may be tonight or tomorrow. Probably tomorrow night.
There's not too much action going on other than that. This part of the process is ridiculous. not too exciting. Thanks for stopping by!

thanks fellas! I did a grain to grain transfer tonight. I had to dump out some of the grain from some of the jars. They were simply too full. It was a pain to break up the mycelium of the jars i used. They are definitely all fully colonized. I used two colonized jars to colonize the other, new, 14 jars. So now there are 26 jars total. Let's hope there are no contams in this new group. I get real nervous about doing these g2g transfers.

Last night I agitated most of the jars. They were probably 30% done. Today there's new growth already. All jars are contamination free!!!! I'm a happy camper! the next thing I have to worry about is keeping the heat up for the tubs. I'll do four tubs at a time i think. got some stack n view's for this project.

Thanks for the comments gents! I've had the jars in the fridge. I took out a few that had not yet fully colonized the other night and put them in the cabinet to incubate a bit more. I'm probably going to let them colonize all week then see where we are friday. The earliest I think I will do the spawn run will be middle of next week. But there will be pictures! i'm free of contaminants up to this point too!

So how did this grow end up turning out? I would think you would have harvested the first flush by now?

I used to spawn to h/poo then I tried coir and I like it better. It works well and is cleaner to work with. Great job so far keep it up..

https://files.growery.org/files/g11-12/093245951-DSC_0004.jpg I don't think they made it. This mycelium is all wrong I go from spore to fruit in 1 month using bulk, this took way too long.

His mycelium looks like there could be a possible bacterial contam but its hard to tell from the pics, the mycelium is starting to look wet, which isn't usually a good sign inside the jars, and as the guy above me said, its deffinitely going kinda slow
Also when you spawn let the bulk sub sit for at least 14 days ( assuming you havent failed or given up, or finished yet), PE of all varieties needs more time to consolidate, if you fruit too early after spawning to bulk ( which is easy to do from excitement) you will get a terrible first flush almost every time ( mostly mutants & balls)
just a little pointer, I have experience with PE.

Also if those spores were from sporeworks I know they are clean, so the bacteria must have come from you, Ill review your procedure quick to see if anything sticks out

you sealed those holes with micropore right?
2 layers?
I sure hope so that will give you bacteria for sure

Greetings! I put the jars in my fridge when I went on a trip a few months ago. I decided that I liked the place so much i would move there. So that's exactly what i god damned did. AND I made sure to take the jars of mycelium with me! SOOOO i have 25 jars ready to rock and roll. And now is the motha fuckin time. The reason this took so long to colonize the rye is due to temperature i think. The mycelium looks great and there are absolutely no signs of contams in any of the jars.
SO here's the deal on the spawning....
I will be using four stack and view tubs. Each will have different combinations of additives to the spawn/casing layer. Each are numbered 1-4 and will be listed periodically throughout the rest of this grow. Today I am preparing the spawn for tub 1.
TUB 1 I am basically following this guide for this one, pretty simple. but i am making some adjustments to the process.
One brick coir placed in 1 gallon of 170 degree water to expand. I mixed in a consistent mix of 1 quart of verm and 1 quart of (free) spent coffee grinds from starbucks. I am going to let that shit sit overnight. In the morning I will pasteurize them. Then prepare spawn for tub two. Pics later....
p.s. sorry for the several month delay. I REALLY hope to make up for that with some massive fruits in a few more weeks.

yes, I sealed them all with micropore tape after I injected them.

sweeeeet....glad you got all settled in, bro. I'm looking forward to watching this grow. I hung up my Myco gloves for a while and moved onto the herb. I have a much deeper passion for the ganja! Plus, mycology was really starting to aggravate me. I was having massive contam issues. That fucking cobweb would not leave me alone. i hope your fruits are ready in time for Red Rocks! look forward to seeing you, brother! Sadly, my harvest time will be pretty much right when we return from Colorado...of course, right? oh well, at least I wont be sad to go home!

Thanks!!!!!
I did a spawn run just now on tub 1. It's as described above. I used 8 jars of coir/verm/coffee grinds to 4 jars of colonized rye. I beat the shit out of the rye jars to get them separated and in a couple jars it looked like i broke every single grain so I decided to discard those jars for the time being. I don't want to fuck with any contams. I'm working on pasteurizing the coir/verm/coffee for tub 2 next. That one has some added calcium carbonate. I was being stoned/retarded and used that instead of gypsum. Hopefully that doesn't fuck them up too bad. Tub 3 will have the same kind of substrate mix as tub 1.

Thank you sir! 
Got an update! I spawned all the stuff. I only used a different recipe with tub two as mentioned above. I actually decided to use a simple method for all the tubs. I would have added gypsum but couldn't find my stash. So they are all 1 brick coir, 1 quart verm, 1 quart spent coffee grinds, but tub 2 has some calcium carbonate added in it. It is actually the tub that appears to be furthest along. Here's some pictures of what they look like now...
All four tubs

They were spawned in order from 1 to 4.
Tub 1 spawned on 7/7/11
 
Tub 2 Spawned on or around 7/8/11

Tub 3 Spawned on or around 7/9/11

Tub 4 Spawned on 7/11/11

you know what he's right, you obviously have this under controlz
keep opening those tubs up! Let out the CO2 , get a terrible uneven pinset, and some contamination, what do I know?

this is the only time you should take pics

and because he's done a few grows doesnt change the fact that the advice I gave him is good, even professional growers will get contaminations if they open their tub up every day for pics

*more than a few. Im always appreciative of advice to help avoid contaminates. Still looking good thus far. Tub two may be ready for a casing layer in the next couple days too. All four tubs are still looking good with mycelium progression. they are colonizing at room temp so the growth isn't as fast as I would like.

It seems weird to me that a person with the name ballsach would be weirded out by a shroom grow in the 'other growables' section. hehe, I signed up for the shroomery (someone already had my name over there, argh!) but can't see the flippin grow journals section over there, so here it stays! I smoke a fair amount of pot too, so I will probably have some cannabis grow logs in the future for everyone to enjoy. Thanks for stopping by! I will try not to fuck up.
