My hippie friend has seen this done before here at the shroomery (Anno or Joshua?) So here it is, my friend has been debating on leaving it in the incubator or birthing it now...... what do you shroomates think my friend should do?

I've seen that pic in the growlog forum, but I don't remember who it was. I would let that sheet colonize a bit more before fruiting it.

WBS was spawned to poo, when the poo was fully clonized he mixed the poo with a 60/40 mix then stuffed the hole of the thread with it! Pal..

I don't follow 100% .. you spawned the poo 60/40 with what?
Small versions of these would be cool tree ornaments if you could time the flush!

The poo was then mixed with a 60/40 (coir/verm) casing mix. My friend has noticed a lot more growth on the ball. He's worried the mylicum will start to pin before the hole thing is fully colnized. He said he's going to leave it in the incubator a while longer to see what happens.

here it is yesterday, still rapidly growing. Any more sugestions, will this hole thing colonize and fruit from all over or will it fruit only from around the holes? Will the hemp provide enough nutrents?

very nice!!!
sounds like a bunch of fun!! I would let the whole hemp ball colinize.. less risk of contamns. plus bigger fruits. the nutrients is one thing I don't know for sure about.. I am thinking if one was to soak the ball of hemp in nutrients before hand would that help out.. I think so.

wow, that is pretty cool.
how are you planning on fruiting that ball?
seems to me that the hemp wouldn't have near enough nutrients to support much fruiting.

Hemp would have the same nutrients as straw.

Yeah, that is one frosty lookin ball.
Stuffed with wbs & poo I thought it would have plenty of reproductive power. How does hemp stack up against straw nutrition wise?

I would also like to know the nutritonal value of hemp vs the straw, but i really hope the hemp ball will support the fruiting! Its been three days, and i just had to take a peak.......

I bet if you cut the hemp in 1-3 inch peices it would colonize much faster!

i don't know where you heard/read that but it is an exageration. while the seeds are a very nutritious grain, ther are others taht are just as healthy [not to mention far more prolific].
