Psilocybe cubensis Growth Parameters
Spawn Run:
Relative Humidity: 90%.
Substrate Temperature: 84 - 86°F / 28.8 - 30°C. Thermal death limits have been established at 106°F / 41.1°C.
Duration: 10-14 days.
CO2: 5000 - 10,000 ppm.
Fresh Air Exchanges: 0 per hour.
Type of Casing: After fully run, cover with the standard casing whose preparations described in Chapter VIII. Layer to a depth of 1-2 inches. The casing should be balanced to an initial pH of 6.8 - 7.2.
Post Casing/Prepinning:
Relative Humidity: 90 %.
Substrate Temperature: 84 - 86°F / 28.8 - 30°C.
Duration of Case Run: 5-10 days.
CO2: 5000-10,000 ppm.
Fresh Air Exchanges: 0 per hour.
Light: Incubation in total darkness.
Primordia Formation:
Relative Humidity: 95-100%.
Air Temperature: 74 - 78°F / 23.3 - 25.5°C.
Duration: 6-10 days.
CO2: less than 5000 ppm.
Fresh Air Exchanges: 1 -3 per hour. (For practical purposes, fanning a terrarium 2-3 times a day is sufficient)
Light: Diffuse natural or exposure for 12-16 hours/day of grow-lux type fluorescent light high in blue spectra at the 480 nanometer wavelength. (See Chapters IV and IX).
Cropping:
Relative Humidity: 85-92%. (For cakes: 95-100% )
Air Temperature: 74-78°F / 23.3 - 25.5°C.
CO2:less than 5000 ppm.
Fresh Air Exchanges: 1 -3 per hour. (For practical purposes, fanning a terrarium 2-3 times a day is sufficient)
Flushing Pattern: Every 5-8 days.
Harvest Stage: When the cap becomes convex and soon after the partial veil ruptures.
Light: Indirect natural or same as above.
Moisture Content of Mushrooms: 92% water; 8% dry matter.

LOL, then just ask; we're on here just about every day
Quote from: darksyde on September 11, 2012, 10:05:37 AMBoo your PM's i was looking for info on going brf - WBS (well grain) and the post got cut short. oh the humanity
Did you lysol your lab/workspace?
I dont even bother with a glovebox.. Never used a flowhood. I have a spare bedroom converted to a clean lab.. HEPA filter runs 24/7 and I spray the room heavily with lysol and wait about 5 mins, then its time to work
I always flame sterilize and cool with alcohol soaked cotton balls.
Sounds like your noc procedure is fine.. Troubles arose during/after the dunk.
Ive heard of people injecting a cc or 2 of distilled water into pf jars with some success.. They could just be drying out.
I sent you a PM with the info so let me know what you think and we can go from there
QuoteIm not sure what part of the country you live in .. or what the 3 strains you got are. let me know. but if you keep your house at 69 - 80 dont use the tit incubator (the 2 tubs and the heater) while they will colonize slightly faster at 80+ the warmer you keep your jars the higher the risk of contams taking over. I colonized thoes 20 jars at 70F - 75F i got 100% contam free jars. Alot of info on incubating cubes says its an outdated method and does more harm then good for new growers.
QuoteI can't tell if it is white fuzz or just what the condensation looks like.
Quote from: darksyde on November 24, 2012, 12:53:10 PMI havent read all you've posted, but I just wanted to make sure you realized that using WBS or any other grains, will require a PC. A steam bath wont provide the pressure and heat to kill off any contams that could be at the core of the grain.

For your SGFC are you using a fan, or manually removing the lid for FAE?
