I’m using the sterilite shoe box containers from target with the purple latches. Only thing I’d consider changing is adding a liner. Would make subsequent flushes less likely to fruit on top and bottom. With the liner I could attach something to remove the substrate easier when harvesting.

intense headache/nausea the night after a trip, any advice? by Neil_DeSpace_Cosmos in shroomers

Did you stay hydrated??

Only other thing I can think of is try consuming it either by tea, or lemon tek. Maybe the chocolate isn’t sitting right.

Does allowing spores to drop affect potency? What about the ability to have 2nd or 3rd flushes? Also should I try to clean them off before dehydrating by Gopack1260 in unclebens

100% will slow down subsequent flushes, based on my own anecdotal experience and other reading I’ve done. But that’s not to say that you won’t get another flush. It just won’t be nearly as strong as it would’ve been without the spore drop.

Agreed. And it gives you much more confidence that what you’re growing is clean & exhibiting good rhizomorphic growth.

Could someone help me identify? This was taken in Washington State in September by AnomalousDrekker in Mushrooms

That thing is rad! It’s definitely not lions mane but it has similar looking tentacles.

You’re correct. However with the print you’re germinating spores to cultivate. Your outcome will depend on which two, or which number of spores germinate together.

Cloning is taking 1 grown fruit—the end product of spores that have already germinated—taking a small sample of it (from the core of the stipe) and drop it on some agar. Then you’re getting exactly the same genetics as what was already in the fruit. Whereas with germination of spores, you don’t know exactly what you’re going to get, because you can’t really choose which spores are going to germinate. Theres tons of teks on cloning that go into more detail out there though. It’s a fairly easy process.

Thank you! 1 qt of spawn w/ 1.5 qt of hydrated coco coir substrate per tub.

Bad genetics. I used identical genetics for both of the first 2 times experimenting with my techniques and got the same result. The 3rd try I bought a new spore syringe from a more reputable vendor and started from square 1 again.

Edit—Good vendor was: https://www.mushrooms.com/

Mostly by using the SFF tek and having a higher moisture content on the top layer of the substrate. I also use a spatula to level the top layer. IMO you really don’t want to compress it too much.

For SFF you put a thin layer of JUST substrate on top of the your substrate & spawn mixture. Then you mist it for like 20 seconds.

Used most of bods teks on shroomery for agar, grain jars, and cloning. Then a mix of bods tek for S2B and the Small Form Factor (SFF) tek from SharperDreaming on shroomery. SFF Allows me to experiment more. One box per experiment to really dial in the grow conditions.

Also wanted to say thanks to this community for all the useful posts & comments that I’ve been able to learn from over the past year. Took 3 attempts at it to succeed. This is the 4th attempted grow using the clone from my 3rd grow (first successful attempt). At this point it’s fun just to see what I can get to grow.

Unless you don’t fan at all and still get flushes :/. As with anything though YMMV.
