First shroom grow in awhile

Growing Cambodian Cubensis. Haven't grown in about 3 years. inoculated 6 jars that were filled with a vermiculite and brown rice flour.Filled top with half an inch of just vermiculite. Only got 3 jars to colonise. Birthed first fully colonised jar, and found the mycelia had grown right through the half inch of plain vermiculite totally colonising it. Never had that happened before. It's soaking in distilled water now for 12 to 24 hours till I roll it in vermiculite and pop it in the fruiting chamber.
I hope it works out. I'm growing them to use to hopefully help my PTSD and depression.
Peace

Tap water bud, never distilled....the only thing distilled water is used for is to make spore syringes....distilled water is a solvent.

What about reverse osmosis water?
I wouldn't expect a benefit over tap water, but do you think it would be detrimental like distilled?

I use tap water. I see no point in experimenting....but this has been discussed before, you can run a search.

lol. Most people have no idea what reverse osmosis water is ( I only use it to try to get my fishies to fuck). There is one thread about it which contains no useful information.
It doesn't matter though, it was just a curiosity.

I thought the chlorine in tap water would be damaging to the fungi.

Guess the distilled water was ok but I'll use tapwater next time. I have at least 5 shrooms growing on that cake. Two more cakes going into tapwater soon.
Peace

I know what ro water is. I have a system under sink. I'm a reef keeper myself and to me it makes my agar more clear as well as distilled. No chunks Like I get with tap. But never used for anything else. Just agar and lc. my Personal preference is ro.. But its not nessasary
