Colonization %
    #21340147 - 02/27/15 08:20 PM (9 years, 2 months ago)

I just had a few questions on this jar.

Namely, how colonized does it look?

How much longer should I give it?

Aside from soaking and throwing in the SGFC, are there any other things I should do to it?

A) Why'd you open it if you didn't think it was fully colonized?

B) What am I looking at? Grains?

It looks bacterial but a little bacteria never hurt nobody.

It is Ps. Cyanescens on a blend of BRF/Verm and a potting soil mix.
Plus I'm an idiot and prone to poking things before they are ready.
I'm not patient enough sometimes for this hobby.

:lol:

That's ready to fruit. In the future though cut out the soil mix. Doesn't help. We use soil mixes for casing layers which are supposed to be non-nutritious.

I figured the wood lover would benefit from it.

Potting soil? Did it have wood in it?

No wood but it is a blend of peat moss, vermiculite, coir pith and lime. And some dirt I guess. I've been trying to experiment with different mixes for the ps. cyans in addition to wood chips.
I at least have cubes going in addition to my doomed wood lover projects. I realize the soil is not needed but hey, science right?

Peat moss and lime are casing material and are known for not having nutrients so I don't think that helped :/.

I'm not 100% sure but I've never seen a cyan grow going like this.

Are you thinking Pan cyans? I haven't seen anybody doing what I'm doing with Psilocybe Cyanescens and believe me, I've hunted this and other sites. I don't have much to compare it to.

No,

I know what species you're talking about :lol:. Peat and lime are still casing material. The Cyan grows I've seen have been on straight grain to a wood substrate.

Like so:

Yup I agree that they have. I've been watching that thread and a few others. The wood chips I colonized were put into pots with a casing layer and have been outside for about a week.

I'm just trying to see what's possible, I've gotten them to colonize a basic PF tek mix more than once now. Wood chips are easy, I still have more myc on agar than I know what to do with so I just keep trying different things.

Agar has allowed me to just keep playing. I like seeing what happens and I don't mind not seeing fruits if it means I learned something. Soon enough I'll have a few normal grows done (Treasure Coast and GT)and my agar work has gotten to a stable point.

I still totally accept that what I'm doing might not work for the cyans but nobody got anywhere by not trying.

Thanks for confirming for me. I was pretty sure it was done last weekend but to be safe gave it the extra week. We'll see what happens I guess.

*fingers crossed*
