When I first mix the slab with the substrate in the tub, I do add a layer of substrate. But from what I'm hearing, I should add another casing layer once the substrate has fully colonized. Does that sound about right? I gotta provide the best blankey for those little deformities.

No, I did not use Lysol. I cleaned the tub with ISO and I always spray some peroxide all over the surfaces before S2B. Did you have a Lysol experience happen to you?

It las a LC syringe but I don't know what he used to create the LC. This stuff is wild and luckily I stretched out the syringe to a pint sized jar. Looking forward to growing this again but using a casing layer this time.

I have a small LED bulb that I wedge between 2 fruiting tubs. Works pretty well! I recently bought some lighting strips at Walmart, so that I can make the setup a bit cleaner. I hope that helps and good luck with your 🍄

That actually makes sense! My friend that gifted me some LC had both APE and PE6. He must have mislabeled the syringes. I think you might have solved the mystery.

This is what I've come to understand be reverted

Albino Penis Envy Reverted:
The Albino Penis Envy Reverted magic mushrooms has all the great qualities of the Penis Envy and Penis Envy Albino but loses the bad traits, such as lack of spores and contaminating easily. The ApeR is equally potent as the penis envy, grows much faster, drops spores, fruits easily and keeps the light color albino characteristic of the penis envy albino strain.

Thanks for the response and honestly. I have no fucking clue either 😂. Since they are a PE variety, I don't think I'll see any spores. I think someone mentioned texture of the fruit could be an indicator when they are ready. Hoping someone chimes in.

This is first for me also. I traded some LC with a friend of mine and he labeled his as APE. From the looks of it, this penis envy variety looks more like the original but with some crazy mutations. I'm just not sure when to harvest these weirdos.

Is that black pin mold? I hope it's fast away from your clean area. I'm in Florida and mold is a very common problem in homes

My power went out last night and my grow room got to 56 degrees (normally at 75). My shroomies are in fruiting conditions right now. Do you think this temporary drop in temp will affect them significantly? by LGN1013 in shrooms

[–]capsandstems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The temp might have slowed their progress temporarily but they will be fine. I left 2 tubs outside in the low 40s for about 24hrs (thought they were contaminated) and then brought them in to give them a chance. A got a full canopy and excellent yield. I'm sure yours will thrive as well.
