Bulk surface question + a little porn
    #14119481 - 03/14/11 01:39 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

Maybe a stupid question.  What are the exact advantages for a flat surface for your bulk tubs?  Wouldn't a rocky, hilly, crator filled surface produce more mushrooms because of the increase in surface area?  I've heard that flat surfaces will make for a better timed pinset but is that all?


A little porn now.  Still have a TON of knots on this bad boy, MSG style.  Plus some mutants because I thought it was ready for fruiting.  Didn't really have much of a consolidation period.  Lesson learned.




Here's a mono that was just thrown into fruiting.  Knots just starting to pop up here and there.



--------------------
The mushrooms, which grow only during the season of torrential rains, awaken the forces of creation and produce an experience of spiritual abundance, of an astonishing, inexhaustible constitution of forms that identifies them with fertility and makes them a mediation, a means of communion, of communication between man and the natural world of which they are the metaphysical flesh.

After reading so many stories about no potency and random genetics I was a bit curious of my own mushrooms, which I hadn't tested yet....Ate an 1/8th like 7 hours ago.  Jesus fucking Christ, unreal.....Also yacked like an hour into it....Well Ide say success.....

Anyone out there have a reply for my first posted question...

Definitely pat it down and make it level.

I've done it both ways and the results speak for themselves.

It was all from MS, too. :yesnod:

I've had contams with all 5 attempts at bulk as I didn't pat or level anything out... From now on I'll be making sure everything is level...

We think we have freedom, but we're all just mice in a maze....

                   

FYI: I stole all my pix off google! F+ PORN! Here is a shit-ton of porn by yours truly!

I have FINALLY written up a couple teks as to how SHP has done things in the past. DISCLAIMER: This is not for the newbie to mycology, and not going to work for everyone! This is simply what works for one person when other teks and methods have failed miserably!
~~~~~How SHP does their unconventional WBS Prep!! (NO DRY METHOD)~~~~
~~~~~SHP's highly disputed method of doing ALL their work outside of a flow hood or a Still air box!~~~~~
~~~~~Troubles harvesting the side and bottom pins in your mono? Learn how!! Dunking included ;-)~~~~~

Well, the whole level thing is for a more uniform and full pinset.

Your contams are either from grain prep, bulk sub prep, syringes, or your environment IMO.

Be sure to use lysol and air sanitizer.
These two things will greatly help you out,
especially if you do open air inoculations, etc.

I know I should have used a bag, not happy with the way its pulling off the sides although I know its natural.  I left the bottom untaped so I can see it colonizing when I did check ups after 8 days etc etc....What should I do about the mushrooms growing on the bottom after harvesting the first flush?  I know they are myc and all....

once you harvest the top, put your hand on the sub, and flip upside down, the block will slide right out and allow you to harvest the bottom.

sounds good.  BTW, thought about you before I did the "test round" and the amount I took....3.5g was still a little much....Don't know how some guys do like 7g+.....

Gorgeous grow and awesome mutants.  I love crazy mutants.  Those mutants look a lot like the ones I had in my first monotub grow.

Of course, then there's the problem of eating vermiculite. On the bright side, it makes your poop and teeth glitter.  Just pretend it's christmas.

Yeah, homegrown are not a joke.  Have you ever tried a tea?  I highly recommend it.  Did you take 35 grams fresh or did you dry them out first?

contams come from the substrate prep

if bacteria pops up its either your spawn , or your suffocating your substrate well its colonizing

trich, cobweb and others are from the substrate not being done right or your sterile technique

i dont use bleach or lysol or anything, when i clean stuff i use 70% iso with some water added,
i havent had any issues since i got my routine down

the key is to a good pasteurization method
get a wagner 705 and a big tub, thats what i did, and its the best 100$ ive ever spent of my life
i can fit 4 bags with 40 quarts of hydrated substrate,so about 160 quarts
and it heats up within 40 minutes,

I had a bunch already dried from a couple BRF flushes.  3.5 dried.  Never tried tea. I like a smooth gradual ride....although this hit me like a train...

The onset of a shroom tea is very quick.  There is also virtually no nausea, at least for me anyways.  I also like the come up on teas more than eating them.  I think I trip harder with teas.

Yeah I hear you, I will do that next time.  I normally just munch on them and chase with a beer or something.  But my buddy had this idea that turned into a fucking disaster....Blender, orange juice.....blender didn't chop shit up...Im sorry I listened to a noob but long story short I drank 2 beers on an empty stomach and followed it up with a shitload of orange juice with chunks of mushrooms in it....No wonder I yacked LMAO.
