I buy verm coir and worm castings from the hydro shop. Way cheaper and they know not to ask questions.

bale of peat moss = $9.99 @ home depot/lowes
that would make AT LEAST 20 bags of jiffy (probably double that, but just to be conservative), WAY more if you don't sift the sticks out.
20 bags of jiffy = ~$200 @ $10/bag

4:1 peat:verm
verm is expensive, so i use sparingly.
limestone added to buffer. sometimes i throw in hydrated lime, but i usually forget until its too late. i sift the peat though, so i don't have mold problems.
a lot of people think peat causes mold, but its actually the sticks and under decomposed shit left in the peat from harvest/processing. peat itself won't mold, i've left it out for really long while wet and still used it 2 months later.
maybe I'm lucky though, but seems like peat gets a bad rap

Pasteurization doesn't stop that issue?
Are the sticks very thick or something?

I haven't been picking out wood sticks, but I'll certainly start, that's for sure. Haven't had an issue with my casing layers molding yet, luckily.

Oh, .... you sick, sick, boy !
That's what I'm talk'n about.
Looks good. better than I do wid it
Thank you Rico, couldn't do it without you, literally. Everyone, rico is the one who hooked me up with this clone culture when I was having severe blob issues and wondered if it was my genetics causing it. Turns out what was causing it was my lack of consolidation and casing layer. He told me this culture was old and tired, I think he's modest. It tore the oats and coir up with vigor and I'll be growing it out again, that's for sure. I already have it slanted in 3 culture tubes and refrigerated. Azur also hooked me up with some pe, which should be ready to post here soon. I'm excited for that, PE is my favorite strain.
Damn way to go Eagles gift another clone! Looks great. For shits and giggs you should try n fruit a penis envy tray in a proper Sgfc.Only just to see how the fruits develop, because my theory is penis envy reauires a lot FAE and humidity so they grow straight up. Idk I'm not knocking anything at all. Just try PE clone sgfc just to see the difference between mono tub in the way the fruits grow. If that makes sense
The PE grow this weird way not because of FAE but just because it's what they do. I've seen grows like this here that still have nodding fruits. You can't get more fae than an outdoor grow. PE looks differently outside, as all cubes seem to, but it's clear the nodding trait is caused by genetics and not environmental factors.
Anyways, thanks for the kind words everyone. All my grows don't look like this, I have my fair share of shitty pin sets. I do like sharing the better looking grows, not to brag, but just because this organism is fucking awesome in my eyes and even after doing mycology for quite a few years, I still get excited over a full monotub. My excitement is still very much fresh feeling, so I just want to share the love, I know you all love seeing shit like this too.
For anyone who would like some PE swabs, shoot me a msg. I'm giving some away. I got some trading done in the marketplace and I've amassed quite a few stamps, and taken quite a few swabs from this grow and this PE grow. I'd like to spread the love, you just have to know how to clean up spores on agar. Don't waste my time and money, or your own time, taking these spores to syringe and using them that way. You're going to grow bacteria and/or mold. I'll send these spores out willingly, I just stress to please clean them up on agar.

Nah I don't mind. I like sending out swabs/prints to folks. For my Albino A+ MS monotub grow I ultimately ended up sending out over 25 prints. I sent out of a ton from my Mazatapec monotub as well.
