If i were to introduce the pf jars to light after incubation before taking the cakes out of the jars, would it help start the pins?
As i see in your explanation, the mushrooms started pinning even before taking the cakes out of the jars.
I am just starting out but have done a good amount of research, i am contemplating on which cubensis strain i should order for large fruiting towards the PF style tek.
I have gathered a few strains and am looking for one with a decent colonization time, average to high potency, resistant to contaminations, and pulls out with high yields/big fruits.
Which out of these few cubensis would you recommend a begginer to start out on the PF Tek with...
-Malabar
-Cambodian
-Burma
-Ecuador
-Thai Lipa Yai
-Texas
-SouthAmerican
I am not assuming you have worked with every one, but if you do have suggestions and your own personal recommendations for a starting strain i would deffinately take note into what you'd have to say.
Thank you, PopoeOne.
another question.
-Does the cambodian/brazillian strain fruit at below 80 Degree's?
Thanks for the site anno!
You should introduce them to light while still in jars when they are visibly fully colonized, or a few days before. Then within 7-14 days the pins will emerge, providing you have a strain that easily pins in the jar.
As for which strain, it is difficult to give a recommendation, because even the same strains differ in their characterisitics a bit so it is hard to give deffiniteve recommendations.
Why not make a syringe with every of those strains and inoculate 2-3 jars with each? Then you will see how the strains preforms, and keep the good, fast, easy fruiters, and abandon the not so good ones, or use those with other methods(case them, transfer them to bulk substrates, outdoors....)
As for the temperature, I have fruited P. cubensis as low as 65?F, but they definitely perform better at temperatures around 75?F.
Thank you Anno.
Do you prefer using white fluorescent light or natural indirect sunlight?
do you recommend dunking after each flush, or do you go by getting your 2nd flush differently?
questions seem to come to me all the time, but it's good we have somebody to come to for these questions...
thanks for the help Super Rocket Mr. Magic Mushroom Man!!

I prefer natural light, where available.

Dunking between flushes can be beneficial, yes.
