Cultivation / pasteurization f**k up
June 04, 2010, 02:41:23 PM
so i was pasteurizing some poo/straw and got focused on something else, but i let the temp get up past 180 for a bit to long i think and went more into sterilization. i know with poo/straw its better to pasteurize rather the sterilize but is this mix still usable? the tek that i was specifically reading said not to let it get that high, so should i scrap and start over or can it be salvaged with just a lesser result?

you say its not an issue with cakes, so dose this mean it can be an issue when casing? cause i will be moving to casing once these cakes have run there course

Cultivation / rh control?
May 30, 2010, 09:57:27 AM
okay so i have around twenty pins on my first cake ......... 64 quart tub , 40 watt air pump going to two air stones and about 3-4 inches of perlite( just enough to cover the air stone.............. my hygrometer is reading 99% right now and i reading that that is good for pinning but one pinning is intiated i need to drop it to 90-95%. anyways my question is how can i lower the rh level ive tried leaving the lid cracked to c if maybe an extra hole or few would work out but got no difference, i have tested the calibration of my meter with salt in a shot glass deal and its seems to work so where do i go from here?

so i am still working on my first grow ever (pf tek lets grow mushroom way) and once i felt comfortable with it i was going to move on to casing with some some fast blast and im just trying to where it fits in. the fasblast/poo is used as the top layer of substrate for the casing , right?..............................shit, i had more questions but i cant remember them now. anyways the mix is not what the the spore initially use to colonize in the jar is it?

Cultivation / strain isolation?
May 10, 2010, 04:24:08 PM
when isolating a strain is done only by creating LC or taking the myc. and replicating it or can i just wait for fruiting and harvest spores from the biggest fastest growing caps?

well im not sure about indirect heat like from and oven but i know when u try to smoke em the fire kills all hallucinogenic chems in the mushie so u might just wanna take that into consideration if u try and come up with a recipe

no, no im just trying the pf cake thats why i asked if that tek could work for non cube. strains

Cultivation / rh for icubation?
May 06, 2010, 12:46:11 PM
ive done some searching and havent really found a definitive answer, but i was wondering if a certain Rh level is crucial for incubation? although my common sense( or lack of....... either one) tells me it is not due to the fact that being in the jar creates the environment needed to colonize if someone could just tell me either yes i am correct or no and gimme the correct level i need to be looking for that would be great

yeah i checked out the link that K123 posted right after i left that last reply and found all that out, sortta bummed me out about em. but i am working on shitakes and have some black morel spores

i really have no interest in eating any mushroom with any side effects...... i sortta burned my self out on that when i was a teenager and now a days really cant handle the effects all to well. i just thing they're really bad ass looking and growing mushrooms period is what i want to do not just psil. strains. plus i thought it would be really bad ass if i could train a caterpillar to chief on  a bong and sit on top of one. jk
