Totaled out at about 35 grams dry for its first year. Not too bad I don't think. Wish it was the Azzies but they will pop next year I'm confident. Mulching with oak and more nature scapes or similar.

Don't give up on azures. They endure COLD more than cyans They may suprize you. I pick half frozen azures every yr. They also like a healthy layer of leaves ontop beds to create perfect climate to hide. And on your cyans / those are beastly thick:)

Ok I'll have to remember the leaves for the two patches. I feel like one may be over exposed but will see next year. I also still have an Azzy patch in a laundry basket outside to be planted in the spring. The seasons changed so fast up here, we didn't get much fall at all. It's still relatively dry here too. So I'm not sure if I'll see more mature fruit. Still haven't found libs yet either. I really wanted to add those to my list this year but like I said I didn't have two months of fall.

Leaves and sticks on top, + rocks to create air pockets are the KEY. transplant thick patches of moss on top too. A 3d bed creates hard to reach fruits, but SEAS of them  Make their home rugged and beautiful. Flower pots clustered up also create pockets for leaves and fall debris while helping keep frost off exposed patches. Go 3d brotha. And water those azzies. Water water water. Bet you can coax mutants if you water enough and cover with canopy of leaves/debris.

Thanks, it's the best result I've gotten from any cult. of mine so far. I noticed the fat ones were all in the back side. A couple .7+g boomers there. I didn't transfer to isolate just to clean so there is a mix of genetics there. Probably better for an outdoor grow that way, I would think. I'll be starting more this winter so hopefully I'll get an azzy pot that fruits eventually.. We just moved so now I have carpet everywhere and will have to relearn how to use my sab.

Well this one, the cyan is in a great place the alder nearby cover it with leaves native plants have grown up around through it. I even noticed it fruiting directly from the surrounding soil so it's happy. The azure patch is exposed on a slope under a small bare ass vine maple. So I'm thinking of either moving it to a less exposed area or giving it more chips and waiting till next year. This is the first year for that azzy patch so it might just need two. Especially after that dry summer we had. I water my laundry basket like crazy when it's not freezing. I have some black fingers growing out of it but the heart of that basket is some nasty bluing azure spawn. That stuff is almost two years old now but it's had a rough life.

So, do I have to worry about how deep the patch gets or just spread mulch over? I've already covered it with a decent layer of presoaked alder chips about an inch maybe more and then spread another bag of nature scape this time black over that. I would say what I put over the established area is 3-4" thick. So the patch maybe 6-7" deep in areas maybe a bit deeper but then again I would think a good amount of the original substrate would be depleted from fruiting this year? Is this too deep? I can always rake some of the nature scape off and around some more. I poked around in a spot the other day and I see great growth on the chips I just don't want to reduce its potential by overfeeding.

Hoq would one inoculate ones patch? How does one handle mycelium and transport it without damaging or killing it?
