I started some lc about 11 days ago. It appears as though it worked. I used honey. How long can my jar survive in the fridge??

Cultivation / mushrooms opening early
November 20, 2010, 09:26:56 AM
some of my mushrooms are growing and opening under the casing surface. anybody have a clue as to why this is occurring??? they are in the same environment as the other shrooms that are growing just fine. i think that after i cased them, i left them in the incubator too long.

is the fresh air exchange necessary before the mushrooms appear? i am talking about the time you put them in the fruiting chamber but before you see the actual mushies. just trying to avoid contams.

Cultivation / aborts

i had a real nice pin set with popcorn cased with peat/verm. most of the pins turned into aborts. is there one cause for this, or can it be various reasons. i have brf cakes in the same fc that are doing very well. so conditions in the fc are good.

PF - Tek / pearlite

how often should i change my pearlite? can i simply rinse and drain it?? i know it is not expensive, but if i can use it again, i would like to. waste not, want not!!!

Cultivation / cakes vs. casing
July 26, 2009, 08:02:54 AM
ok, here is a thought. it seems that casing produces better yields. i have some cakes that i have just pulled the 1st flush. can i dunk them, then crumble and case at this point? this is my last batch of cakes. i have moved on to the wonderful world of popcorn. but i was just hoping to squeeze a little more out of my cakes. any thoughts??? :huh:

Cultivation / peat/verm
July 15, 2009, 06:15:54 AM
i just crossed over to the wonderful world of popcorn. the 1st attempt is cased (peat/verm 50/50). it should be ready for the fc by friday--hopefully. my question is this~~~~when pressure cooking, should i have a whole-with polyfill- in my jar lids?

Cultivation / casing ?'s
July 11, 2009, 05:20:54 AM

PF - Tek / dunking cakes
July 10, 2009, 05:46:16 AM
i just picked all the shrooms off my cakes. i know they are going to sit for a while and do nothing. should i dunk them again? if so, how long?? and should i roll them in dry verm again?

Cultivation / black and blue
July 09, 2009, 04:19:14 AM
the caps and some of the stems turned dark purple, almost black, while drying. they don't have a funny smell. is this normal? i think i waited too long to harvest because my fc looks like a purple bomb went off inside it. i am assuming that this is the result off spores dropping. are the shrooms ok to eat??
#19
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.
