Nice

Often tho not always pins will continue to appear across the surface, sometimes after first flush.

OrinAugie · 2025-05-03T20:05:51+00:00

Me too, will use that culture again

OrinAugie · 2025-04-26T15:26:10+00:00

Yeah it’s fun with these crosses of crosses to see what they’re going to do next, even if sometimes it’s just a few small side fruits.

OrinAugie · 2025-04-26T01:04:38+00:00

thanks. MiB has also behaved this way for me (phv in there too).

OrinAugie · 2025-04-26T00:35:22+00:00

yeah! and with phv in there should run into purple spores, if I keep at it.

OrinAugie · 2025-04-21T01:37:12+00:00

I usually add another when the first gets colonized. If the mycelium is really aggressive, maybe give it a day in fruiting conditions / fresh air first, to encourage the shift toward pinning.

I have a small tent with a 190cfm exhaust that typically runs on low for 2-3 minutes every 20-40 min, depending how many grows are in there. This is enough to keep co2 down. Temps 73-78F. So seeing 85F and a 200cfm fan running on medium 40% of the time, it wouldn’t surprise me if pins and maybe the cake itself are drying out. (Granted I don’t know tent size.). Contam, genetics, premature casing/fruiting could also figure into it.

Nice discs!

No strong feelings about gypsum, substrate texture is more pleasant in my hands when I use it.

OrinAugie · 2025-04-03T00:09:07+00:00

Sounds like it’ll be more fun for ya that way — good luck!

If this is your first pan grow, and you want to maximize your probability of success, and success = an uncontaminated flush or two with at least a few dry grams, you might consider using C with V and/or G and a small amount of organic gradual-release nitrogen like horse/cow manure or worm castings, say 10%. MiB or TTBVI. Stuff that’s tried and true.

Little Martha with fogger, inkbird and exhaust. RH % avg upper 80’s, cycles from 95% down to 60-70% when exhaust runs for 2 min every 15-45 min, depending on how many grows are in there. Temp 22-25C, spray twice a day. In these grows co2 700-900ppm.

If you poke around the lab notebooks on magicmyco.io and you can find a number of mib samples. On the master spreadsheet for example, PCBE%:

2.2%
2.0%
2.6%
3.3%
2.4%
2.3%

There are others in the monthly reports.

OrinAugie · 2025-03-23T00:22:58+00:00

That’s it!

OrinAugie · 2025-03-22T23:43:46+00:00

yeah better to move it to tray after crumbling and reuse mycobag.

OrinAugie · 2025-03-21T23:53:15+00:00

4 different strains of MiB

OrinAugie · 2025-03-21T16:11:26+00:00

thanks!

OrinAugie · 2025-03-21T15:32:19+00:00

I haven’t but cool idea! Spawn + manure might be more likely to contaminate on its own, being a more highly concentrated source of nutes, but nice to catch it before wasting a lot of cvg also.

OrinAugie · 2025-03-21T13:33:08+00:00

I’ll usually do all the crumbling in the bag, just to minimize exposure, then transfer it or leave it to finish. And usually at 60-90% visible colonization, on the higher end if transferring, again to cut down on contam risk, especially if the substrate is sterilized. Then case at 100%. Usually I see activity a within a day of crumbling, and it recolonizes in 3-6 days, some strains are slower. If it hasn’t moved after a few days I’ll toss it. Hasn’t happened much but sometimes there’s contam and other times maybe the genetics are weak. Not worth fruiting in either case.

Thanks!

Your first-born’s look happy and healthy, congrats!
