Tok's First Mushroom Diary - Medical First/Recreation

Pan's are a humbling mushroom to try to cultivate and is difficult to say the least. You will experience loss with them, believe me I know first-hand. I've grown many edible/med strains, Ps Cyans, Tamps, you name it, and these fuggers are finicky AF. I have grown them once in a Mono Tub, and it can be done, but Air is so important with these. I added extra holes to the Mono and 4-6 exchanges once pins are set. A controlled environment is really needed if you want a decent yield, otherwise, you probably won't get what you are looking for. Also, they need higher temps, and do great in the 77F range. Stagnet air is a killer as well, along with running the humidifier to long and trays get to wet it's trich city. Not enough moisture and they don't pin and stall and it's a wrap too. I'm not trying to discourage anyone, just a fair warning, I have lost more projects to Pans than any of my Edible/Medicinal/Psychoactive adventures.

Wild Coast pins above, conked out with Trich after the first flush. It's a balancing act (like a highwire routine) of Air and Water, too much water, it's raining and it's beyond humidity needs and its mold (black or green) city or trich, too much Air and it's like a dry dessert and no bueno for Pin conditions. Be Safe with Pan Cyans, they are one of the strongest mushrooms you can cultivate. All the best.... OF Luck!!
 
Thank you, for the insight and warning on the Pan Cyans @JohnnieJC3

All I can do is try and hopefully learn something in the process.
Sooner or late, I will get growing mushroom down, but it can be challenging controlling temps and humidity in a mono tube. I may look into a tent next year, it's hard to get organized in a mono tub.

Will you be starting a grow dairy?

Be safe and grow well my friend,
Tok..
 
Sorry, I spoke too soon.

Thank you for your kind words @Ramblinrose1965 and @Scottay

I am hoping I can enjoy them during the New Years Weekend and I am not sure if I did Pan Cyan back in the 70's or not. Hopefully, I will enjoy and find out soon. I am going to wait a few more days before I check them again and it would be nice if they where ready for the break and shake. I can hope. :rofl:

Several years ago I was a large guy. Like 350 lbs 5'8" and drank a lot. The guy who gave them to me said they were Copelandia Hawaiian mushrooms. They looked like blackish toothpicks!!!! I hadn't drank that day at all. I munched a palm full. Drinking orange juice with it and laughing..... Less than a week later I stopped drinking alcohol and soon after that I stopped smoking cigarettes. It was wayyyy overwhelming but completely life changing for sure.

Scottay That is fantastic! Good for YOU! Back in the mid 80's I quit smoking cigarettes after doing lots of shrooms and getting my mind set on it. Those mushrooms are strong medicine.

Between cannabis and mushrooms I can honestly say that they saved my life. For sure!! 😎✌️

Maybe 🤔 when I get some growing I’ll quit smoking 🚬 too. I really need to cause I’ve been smoking too many years. Why is it that the 💩 you enjoy is always so bad for you? I quit alcohol 🍺 about 20 years ago and now it tastes horrible but I still drink a Guinness and a shot of Jameson every St.Pats day n New Year’s Eve. CL🍀

That's what I am talking about, being put back on track.

Yaa, @CaptainLucky as you probably already know, shrooms can be life changer.

No images, but I told a peek and the Mycelium is still spreading in the AIO bag with the Nameless spores. I will check the bags of UB Brown Rice this weekend.

Be safe and grow well my friends,

Good Afternoon everyone

I was down checking on my mushrooms progress today. As I mention yesterday it is slow progress of the mycelium in the AIO bag inoculated with the Nameless spores. Thinking about breaking up the mycelium growth I have in hopes it will spread faster. What do you think?

Sad to report it has been 30 days and I have all but given give on the AIO bag inoculated with the Amazonian spores. I use the last of those spores on the second inoculation of the same AIO bag. Oh well. I will wait a little long and contemplate my next move.

This makes me temped to try one of the 32 oz. Rye jars I recently bought. We will see.

Pan Cyan in the UB Brown Rice bags are moving right along in the mycelium growth phase. I will check them again after the Christmas holiday.

Today's images.

I decided to break up the mycelium growth in the AIO bag with the Nameless spore; in hopes that it will help spread the mycelium deep inside of the grains. Aside from that I will check them again early next week.

I can tell you from experience with regular brown rice (never tried the UB bags, they are kind of frowned upon with intermediate to advanced cultivators) that it colonizes CRAYzee fast, but it doesn't respond well to shaking to inoculate. It stalls out a bit, so it's hit or miss, Real talk... it's pretty much Fail. With cubes, I would go with Cakes if you don't want to invest in a PC, but personally, I went straight to a PC and bird seed back in the day and never looked back. I went in with the mindset of, you have 40lbs of WBS and you might lose some being green to the game. I got lucky really, used to be able to get good clean spore syringes that were quality work, but once you lose a whole round of WBS to a bad syringe, it STINGS (Agar drops at times, but mainly my own LC's currently). That being said, I went back-to-back Mono's when I was a rookie and had fruits coming out of my ears. I went all 7 quarts of spawn (high ratio) for faster colonization and nervous AH being new and all my eggs in one basket. Anyway, Mono's are old school and I rock 12-quart boot boxes and have for quite awhile. I prefer one-quart projects to a 12 since I'm always trying new varieties, part of the fun guy stuff for me. I have a Yeti tub coming up that's been cased for about 4 days now, it's a clone from a friend. Yawl be safe for the holidays. :peace:

I am not a fan of the UB Brown rice bags, I just wanted to give them a try.
I recently got some quart jars of 5 grain and Rye grain. Thinking about starting one of those and when the time comes transfer to a shoebox.
I recently brought a 9-quart pressure cooker for canning make my own jars.
A lot to learn when starting out.

Be safe and grow well my friend,

Take it from someone who thinks they are a scientist at times, experiments are cool and all, if you set yourself up mentally knowing this is an experiment and may not pan out. I tell people from time to time that if you are the type that can bounce back from a failure, you have what it takes to do this (it's easy to get in your own head and want to quit, it crosses all of our minds). And once you get it, and follow the basic rules of sterilization and sanitation, you will be able to lather, rinse, AND... Repeat whenever you like. The good news these days, is you don't have to gamble on a possible dirty spore syringe if you don't have the capability to do Agar, clean LC's are available from reputable folks, even if you are in CA. Tougher scenario if you're residing in GA or ID but where there is a will, they say... IS a way. FFFL

I may inoculate a Rye Grain Jar today with something, not sure yet, but I have a varied.

I am looking forward to the Pan Cyan even if it is only a few from the UB brown rice bags.

Let see I have some Tidal Wave, I may make I will go with that. I understand It is a easy one to grow.
1-32 oz Jar with Rye Grain inoculated with TW.

What do you think?

Have a Happy Holiday season.
 
Merry Christmas everyone and a Happy New Years.
 
Thank you for the well wishes and I hope you have a rememberable New years @CaptainLucky
I spend Christmas at daughter's house with son and grandsons. It was a nice and peaceful day.

I was down today checking on my UB Brown Rice bags with the Pan Cyan and they look like they are ready for a shake and break. Which I will probably do a little later today.

The AIO bag is doing okay. Ever time I get enough Mycelium growth I break it up in the bag. It seems to be spreading fasting that way, just leaving it be, is not working. I just hope the grain doesn't go bad while I am waiting.
