I am using: Wild Bird Seed Creeper strain mushrooms - spore syringe "Rez-Effect" casing with 1:1 vermiculite:colonized WBS 04/16/09 - 01:00 ... I just finished rinsing my WBS and put it into a pot to soak. Tomorrow I will PC and prepare my jars. Pictures will come in later steps. 04/16/09 - 15:00 ... Rinsed and simmered WBS, prepared jars. Unfortunately I can't PC today - the cooker won't fit on my fucking stove. I'll find someone to let me use their stove tomorrow hopefully. EDIT: I am gonna go buy an electric stove, tomorrow I will PC and smoke some doobies 04/17/09 - 14:30 ... Started pressure cooker on an electric burner I bought from Sears (fucking 30 bucks!) I'll be returning it tomorrow. Goin out tonight - will inocculate later tonight once the jars have cooled. EDIT: Forget that, my pressure cooker is taking FOREVER to build pressure. I'm gonna start this later tonight when I have more time. Looks like it'll be a pretty long night :S ---04/19/09--- Hardcore hiatus...lol this hotplate is small, takes forever to build enough heat...I got super stoned Friday and Saturday and forgot about cooking my jars. Might be Wednesday before I have enough time to do this...man I am so dysfunctional. 'til then, i suppose 04/21/09 - 17:30 ... Began pressure cooking - 18:20 ... Gaining pressure just fine, it's taking a little while, though...still - 19:22 ... STILL gaining pressure...ugh...almost at 10 - 19:30 ... At 10 PSI, gonna start counting down, still gaining pressure. - 20:20 ... Had hit 15, was there for ~20 min, total PC time ~60 min. Cooled, innoc tonight? Maybe...Oh and there is barely ANY water in there...I'm never letting it go that close again. I'm thanking god nothing happened. PICS - 01 is my PC I copped for 20 bucks 02 are the jars right out of PC 04/22/09 - 18:50 ... Just finished innocculation. Hopefully I'll have some myc growth and some pictures on the way for that. 04/25/09 ... Day 3 on incubation, no action in the jars. Here's a couple pics (013 and 014)
Good luck man. Let me know if there is anything you need. I've got spares of alot of cultivation related gear. Anything I can do to help you just let me know. Peace Brotha
No offense, but a grow log without pics is almost useless. And don't try to PC your jars at someone else's house then transport them. That's asking for contams. My suggestion: finish your grow and take pics along the way. Post them when you're done.
I'm gonna try. So busy with work and my little project. This is a pretty good forum though. Has an underground feel to it. I like it. Moves kinda slow sometimes so I loose interest. But now that I have someone who may need a little advise I should be around a little more.
uhh I said that it is pretty useless to take pics at this point. I'm not transporting my jars, either. I'm not an idiot. By stove I meant an electric hotplate BTW
First I was afraid the PC was too small, I get it and I'm freakin cause I can't fit it on my fucking stove! I'm buying a hotplate and then returning it once I'm done...I'm so fuckin cheap...
Good luck with the grow man, sounds like you're off to a good start and have read some shit at least. Why not keep that plate for future use if you'll run into the exact same problem next time? just a thought, wish you some big flushes!
thanks, but i'm not gonna be able to grow after this summer. I'm going off to college and wouldn't have any use for it
ive never seen a growlog... this is cool though, better once they start growing though if you take some pics. thats be sweet
Pics will come once it starts getting interesting. I'll take pictures after I PC and then once every couple days or so for mycelium growth.
I just finished. I used polyfil + tyvek. Once I injected I covered with two coffee filters tied down with a rubber band.
