Cyans 1

I've been doing Cyan powder for a little while now but have always wanted to grow full caps and show off those sexy wavy caps to my friends...
I plan on growing them around next spring when the weather is decent. I live in Maryland and from what I understood about the cultivation of Cyanescens is they need to be grown outside and that wood chips need to be used as the substrate instead of vermiculite or the other shit people use as substrate and that they need to be grown outside in warm weather.
Is this true? Or is growing Psilocybe Cyans similar to growing Cubes where I can just do it inside and do it rather easily.
Growing mushrooms outside with wood chips sounds tricky.

I believe pan cyans can be grown indoors with manure and straw. Its azures that are grown outside.

Yeah I heard Copelandias or Pan Cyans can be grown indoors. They are the long black spored ones that are really potent. I'm talking about Psilocybe Cyans though. The wavy caps one that grows in the Pacific Coast

yeah i think it bears pointing out that there are 2 'cyans'. Panaeolus cyanescens is a tropical dung loving species and Psilocybe cyanescens is a temperate wood loving species. the former is best grown indoors, the latter outdoors.
from your description of sexy wavy caps you are talking about Psilocybe cyanescens.

Yup....
Pan Cyans/Copelandias are really cool but id just rather grow Psilocybe Cyanescens right now because of aesthetic reasons

Ps. Cyan indoors I don't think is gunna happen man.
If you are new to cultivation the very first thing you will need to learn is how to do culture work on agar, and prepare clean grain spawn... pretty much regardless of species.
So if you really have your heart set on ps. Cyan than start reading up !

doing wood lovers outside is actually really easy it just takes a whole bunch of patience e.g. 6 months to a years worth of patience , inoculated grain spawn+ moist wood chips bury it in the ground preferably around a pine tree and let nature take its course , doing it inside is extremely difficult as they require cold temperatures light and fresh air exchange

there is one complication in that outdoor species rarely provide a (relatively) clean spore print so it's kind of a gamble with low odds to try to germinate spores without using agar to clean things up.
depending on the legal situation where you are there is a chance you might be able to acquire spawn. if so i highly recommend getting some. the growing process is quite easy from spawn to fruits unless you live in a particularly warm climate.

This tek is fantastic. Portable bucket patches are boss, imo. Outside cyans are pretty easy to do. And once started, just re-mulch in march to keep it going. But if you want indoors...

This may be a viable technique for SOME woodlovers. Probably a better chance for success than Eric's Tek.

I suspect that outdoor woodlover cultivation is not a good place to start. Getting excellent results out of cubensis is enough work.
There is a cubensis strain called Menace that produces some weird wavy caps. Not as cool as Psilocybe Cyan, but might give your shrooms some bling. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/10560039/fpart/1/vc/1

I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister. I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave. I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent. Triggered yet? Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."
No, this does not look right...

These bad boys were started from spores on aspen pet bedding cakes, made in the style of pf tek. Even went so far as to mix a small amount of brf with the aspen shavings and a thin vermiculite layer was spread on top to prevent contamination. Afterwards, these cakes (one, half-pint) were spawned to flower pots filled with alder chips soaked in water for 24 hours. Soil was then spread 1 inch deep over the chips. This was in march.

So when should I start growing them? Winter is coming right now in Maryland so I assume it will be impossible to start growing them until around March right if I choose to do it outdoors? I don't mind waiting a few months because I doubt I'll trip until around next summer but id like go have these ready for around June or July maybe if possible. Someone mentioned it takes long time for them to grow

exactly what i was going to say. Put some ps cyan spores on fresh prepped grain, let colonized, then put on some aged/old/moist wood chips (alder, cherry, pine, or mix of all), put outside around late summer/early-fall. Water patch once in a while.
I am currently on my first ps cyan project. I did it guerilla style in a forested park, with a bunch of small patches of alder chips that i poured ps cyan spore water on them.
I only had fresh alder chips, but i put them on the ground back in dec 2015. Hopefully its aged by now and ready to grow cyans

Wait so will the temp matter?
It's getting really cold now and doesn't it take a while for them to grow?

Im not totally sure on the life cyclee of cyans, but i believe the mycelium eats during late summer/early fall then fruits in mid to late fall when its colder.
Theres no way you can get fruits this year. Its too late already.
But you can start now for next year thou

I would try growing ps alleni. It's as strong if not stronger than ps cyan. And it's more adaptive to different climates.
-------------------- Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

Si! I would have made a more detailed procedure thread if I wasn't basically ripping off the keeno tek.
It is too late for outdoor cyans. Try to get some Ps. Ovoideocytidiata or Ps. Caerulipes spores. I'm not 100%, but I'm pretty sure if you prepared them now a la the above methods, they will fruit in spring rains. I think its the temperature CHANGE that is important.
