Kushcrossers Mushroom Grow (2 strains)

I havnt trayed them up yet, I was out of verm... I found some at Lowe's and am goin to tray in a few hrs.

Well, I take that back...they said when I called they has some in stock...went there 2day and nothing! I went to Home Depot, and Menards..nobody has any! So it looks like I am using coir, I will post some pics when I get done.

Ya let us know how it goes. I am geting ready to pick my first shrooms, and take some prints. I have a bunch of pics up,and will post some once I'm done with the prints.

Well, just trayed em up, and the trays barely fit in my incubator..lol They are 12x17...I had to fold the corners up to get em to fit.

Is that the JAs?

hey kushcrosser, im trying something similar in these rye bags. never done this before. they are like 3 weeks old. there is 3 bags. 2 of them are showing white fuzziness and the third is also doing something, its just brownish stuff instead of white. if you have any info on this it would be greatly appreciated. im also wondering if i should shake the bags now that there is something going on in there. reall hope to hear from you man, i need help.

PE......the JA I had to do some McGuiver adjustments...it was too big...lol I cut about 5in off the end and folded it up

brown doesnt sound good! Keep an eye on it and if it gets worse...pitch em. Alot of times ppl buy rye bags ready to inject, and they were contaminated from the supplier. Thats why I make my own.

should i shake them up?

can you take a pic? You dont wanna shake if there isnt much myc...it will just make it longer to colonize

hey kush i dont see any weird growth but a few of my jars have like this sweet smell do you know what it is?

I have just reviewed this journal and find it very informative. i have a couple of questions regarding the steps. I understand that the jars are kept in an incubator after inoculation and the trays are also kept there.

How is the incubator constructed and what are the ideal light, temp and humidity requirements. Is there a link where I can get this method and items needed step by step?

Thanks

Well kush's thread has just about everything you need to know, but if you stop over to my thread, I think I have everything else, lol. The incubator is made from 2 rubber made totes, one inside the other. The bottom one has several inchs of water in it, and has a fish tank heater on the bottom. The heater warms the water, which warms te incubator. Ideally, you want it to be about 84 degrees in the incubator, and totally dark. The humidity is kinda irrelevant in the incubator as far as I know.

Damn TC...you sound like a pro now..hehe But yes, what TC said.

I am gonna case the trays tonight...my bro has a bag of verm..but its been sittin outside and is full of leaves and sticks. I am just gonna load it up in jars and PC to steralize it. I could use coir, but the top layer tends to dry out pretty quick. I will take some pics and post em when I get back home.

Hehe thanks Kush, you taught me well I guess, or at least I can follow basic instructions lol!

Well, I didnt make it home lastnight...had a 30pack too many..lol I was gonna use the verm my bro had, but it was frozen solid..so I will be casing with coir. I will post some pics here in a few.

I think the PE is done for...I got home today and there was a spot of green. I spooned it out and cased anyway, but more than likely its done for. The JA looks fine!

I've been fighting mold on my burma tray. I've been spooning it out, and trying to clean the spots with h202. It keeps coming back, but its been slow, and hasn't taken over yet.

Here is the PE tray...its solid rhizo!!
