Anyone think a light organic fertlizer would be helpful between flushes? Seems like so many nutrients were sucked up from the huge first flush, maybe a second flush would be more productive with some nutrient replacement. Thought of using Alfalfa meal.... think it 2-3-2. Thoughts anyone?

Alright folks.....final first flush yield comes in a day early due to the excellece of the Excalibur food dehydrator. Liked the rear mounted fan for really even, low temp drying......hell of a machine. Much to my amazement 1lb.& 10 oz's of cracker dry fruits went into mason jars this evening including some occassional muching along the way. Thrilled! Not really sure what to do.....but be thankful! This project has exceded my expectations as you can see just a wee bit! With a wicked looking second flush already poking its head up from the back jungle......its gonna be a nice fall season....

As an opinion, I do not think adding nutes will make a noticable difference. Manure is a very rich substrate, I would say that the ligneous material would be more of the limiting factor.

you should write a detailed instruction book... success like that should be sold! (but not for much...)

Why not try making a manure+water solution and water it with that if you are concerned about nutrient depletion? Then again, I have yet to grow... just throwing it out there as a suggestion.

What part of the substrate would be the ligneous material?

I hope this hurricane isn't close enough to you to hurt your next flush. Good luck.

Hell yea, can't wait to see those pics.
I don't think the hurrican is going to be too bad for him. Looks like it heading towards Cajun Country now. Hope all of you guys are alright.

Deva1 I may have missed it, but did you pasteurize the substrate? How did you mix in the grain spawn? I've always read that grain spawn isn't goo for outdoor spawning, to use a sawdust, or compost spawn so bugs or birds don't get to the grains before they colonize the substrate. I'm trying to grown A. Blazei outdoors, and I'm not sure whether to try grain or spawned compost...
Thanks!

Second Flush Update: The bed is again exploding aproximately 8 days after the first run. Groupings are more spread out this time, and a little smaller, but are forming in very dense clusters. Counted 23 fruits in one colony last night. The first picture is after we removed 2 huge groupings from the bed. Couldn't shrink the pictures down small enough, so sorry for lack of other good shots. A note to Jeremy Davis.......no pasturazation was used for the medium. Some spawn was carefully distributed in each layer of medium. I went heavy on the vermiculite/straw on top so no birdseed was showing. Haven't had any squirrel or animal problems so far......best of luck to ya!

The hurricane rains have just spurred growth even more, the raised bed has good drainage so the downpour isn't an issue.....everythings just getting super saturated It doensn't really get cold here till november so I'm hoping for an extended ride!
