I'm HOT for Teacher
    #4563577 - 08/21/05 05:13 PM (3 years, 4 months ago)

I have to say first off I am in complete awe of this backyard bed! After much reading here in the forums I decided to go bulk outside. A raised bed was constructed with bricks, and into the mix went 2 40lb bags of worm castings, 2 small bales of straw from Michaels, a tarp full of local horse manure/wood shavings, and 2 bags of vermiculite. The mix was layered on top of a soaker hose (thanks Joshua) along with 6 quarts of colonized WBS - Golden Teacher. Colinization was quick, and right at the 3 week mark pins were surfacing throughout. In no way was I prepared for what happened next......the following three days I picked huge flushes both in the morning and night. Everytime I cleared a colony there was another group ripening right behind it. The fruits were extremely healty looking, beefy as hell..... many being in the 40 to 70 gram range. 3 5 foot screens were layered with fruits for fan drying while the excalibur food dehydrator comes in the mail......so no word of yield yet...but it sure looks plentiful. Thanks to all the Moderators, and incredibly knowledgable people on this site.....you encourage us all to be cultivators of the devine! I'll try and update with 2nd flush results-

He has to be somwhere in the south for that, One of the only regions cubensis grows like that, Ive been all around No Cal Oregon Washington ANd found many Liberty and Wavy Caps, Im not saying you cant grow them anywhere else but for yields like that you need to be in the south.

Right on djsage420, its been feeling pretty tropical in the sticky south. Temps were in the 80's to 90's most days with a lot of rain. Humid as all, I almost thought it would be to warm to fruit....but as you can see... I thought the fern would give all the colonies good company.....and yes the stout fruits started rearanging the bricks without my consent. Potency is definitely up there too! Thanks for all the comments and ratings........go outdoors!

While everything was colonizing I ran the soaker hose a couple times for about 20 min and hand watered a few times. It was raining every few days so the bed stayed pretty moist on its own. Mother nature was kind and rained everyday of the fruiting week - I just sat back and watched things get out of control. Definitly go for innoculating larger area's if you can - well worth it!

Nice grow dude.


So, you had the soaker hose on the bottom of everything? How deep down was it?

Soaker hose was on the bottom of the 6" deep bed. Bed felt like a nice absorbent sponge.....yields at the end of the week!

That is the nicest outdoor Ive seen. Fruits grow shorter and squater outdoors by me. Those are beautiful, I CANT WAIT to find out the yield. I think one yearly outdoor might be better than a bunch of indoor all year long.

Well... as fairly new shroomerite myself... the only word I have is.... WOW!!! I haven't seen very many colonize so well outdoors, it usually seems to be a larger area with small splotches of growth. I like the smaller more dense grows. For the water hose, did you just use a regular garden hose with holes drilled in it?

Happy the grow was so inspiring for all! Can't wait till the second flush....and who knows how many will come after that? The soaker hose is perforated with thousands of tiny holes so water slowly seeps out, I use these all the time for gardening. Get 'em at home depot or lowes.
