Cultivation / Moldy? cakes
January 30, 2009, 05:49:50 PM
I can't tell what the problem is, I have 7 Golden Teacher and 6 Quesa Phillipines in the fruiting chamber. I had some B+ that did the same thing but they have like a green mold on the tops of the cakes. One of the GT's has one big shroom on it and that is all. Where the green mold looking stuff is the cakes are real mushy. R these cakes contaminated R is there a way to make them come out of it?? They don't stink, but they don't smell good and mushroomy either, kinda smell moldy? I was going to send pictures but they did not want to download. I'm sure some of you experts have had this before, what is it and how or can I get rid of it?? thanks a bunch

PF - Tek / no pinns again
January 11, 2009, 05:37:14 AM
I have some Golden Teacher that have been setting on a bed of peralite for 3 weeks now with no pinns. Boo Hoo! they are at 95% - 100% RH 75 - 80deg.F with 12 hours of cool white light. They are in a clear tote with (no holes drilled) but I take the lid off for the 12 hour lighting time. I had the same problem with my B+ but once I put the light on them they turned out beautiful. I am on my 3rd flush for them. Do Teachers take a long time to Pinn or do you think Im fucking something up again? Any help and suggestions are greatly appreciated U guys R great. This is a difficult hobby, but I guess we all learn from our mistakes, Aye?!

I have read that in ancient times the great philosophers would fast for several days and then eat shrooms. this is where they came up with their great philosophies!!! I personally eat them on an empty stomach followed by some citrus juice and or fresh pineapple. The pineapple not only helps the trip but makes the eating of the shroomys a little easier to swallow!!! The longer you chew the better the trip also!!! Any of you guys live in Southern Illlinois? Get ahold of me we need to talk!!

I am also a first well maybe 2nd timer I don't use a pressure cooker but I use like a double broiler (steamer) type pot. it is a large pot with a strainer type pot in it and a glass lid that way you can set your jars on the strainer pot put the right amount of water in and away you go. when the time is up just remove the strainer pot and set on the side till cool. It works great for me and I have had maybe 1 out of 10 jars get contaminated.

 - I have the cakes set on aluminum foil on top of perilite. temp is right at 75 - 78 deg. F. Humidity is 100%. I have the cakes in a clear tote with holes drilled which is set on a cookie sheet about 1/2 inch deep that I keep filled with warm water so the perilite stays moist. the perilite is nice and moist not floating in water. For light they get the natural light that comes in 2 small windows in my basement. I have been reading about a rye seed and water method that I might be trying if this don't work. Thanks for everyones suggestions keep em coming I appreciate all the advice I can get.

 If you don't use cakes what do you use and how do you use it? Like I said this is my first attempt. I have syringes with 4 more different strains that I'm going to try in the near future. Any suggestions? I've watched videos, read up, and everything else. Still no fruit!!! I'm desperate..... Want to come over for dinner & show me how its done? ha ha  I am open for all suggestions. and Thanks

PF - Tek / No Pinns

This is my second attempt and no pinns. After full colonization of B+ in 1/2 pint jars I let them set for about 5 days. I dunk and rolled put on aluminum foil and set in a tote with perilite and holes drilled. Fan twice a day and make sure the perilite is moist. It has been about 11 or 12 days now and absolutely no pinning. My first attemp never did pinn. My source went out of business so I am attempting to produce my self. I don't know what to do. I need some help. I have almost given up hope.
