Cultivation / harvest time
July 06, 2009, 05:08:35 AM
i have noticed that the veils on a couple of my shrooms have broken. is it time to pic them? how long can i leave them grow after the veils break? will leaving them grow have any effects on potency? this is my 1st time~~~don't want to mess up. i want to pick them all at once.

FROZEN CORN. no, i never tried that. i have 4 jars of popcorn knocked-up and they are coming along just fine~~~a little slow, but slow and steady wins the race. keep us posted if you try the frozen corn.

i preped the pearlite like the pf-tek showed. saturated, then drained, then put into the fc. i sprayed the walls down when i put the cakes in. should i not of done that? i'm about to get two more containers and start from scratch. i thought by wetting the walls, the proper evap from the pearlite never ocurred--thus the rh cannot get over 85%.

PF - Tek / fc low rh
July 02, 2009, 04:42:12 AM
i set up two fc's about a week ago. i think i had way too many holes drilled to start off. so i taped up most of them, leaving a couple just above the pearlite and at the top. got rid of crappy hygrom. and bought a digital. still can't get rh above 85%. the lids are not "airtight". does that matter? i just put suran wrap over the top and placed the lid back on. temp is fairly steady at 76 degrees. any advice for a newbie. got 10 cakes colonized already in the fc's.

do you just squeeze the grains, like you would verm/rice flour, until a couple of drops come out? i"m just trying to get it right the 1st time. i have 10 cakes almost fully colonized. just gonna let the cakes do what they do, but casing produces much better results. i want to start up the next batch asap using the casing method. just gathering up as much info as possible before then.

o.k. so grain and seed r different. does the amount change that u would put in each jar? i'm gonna innoculate a couple of quart jars. once they start to colonize, i'm gonna shake them to keep them broken up. my goal is to use the 2 jars to innoculate many others. you get the picture.
