Lightning makes mushroom yields multiply!
    #23397654 - 06/30/16 01:52 PM (7 years, 6 months ago)

I came across this article today and I think this might be pretty useful in cultivation? 

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2010/04/100409-lightning-mushrooms-japan-harvest/

You could make a Tesla Coil (mini), which is fed with 120 volts and can generate 50k volts, or some kind of other transformer and give it a quick shock to increase yields! 

How to make a transformer:



Seems like it isn't something anyone could just jump into though, 50kv is really dangerous. Even at a low current that much potential could hurt you if you don't know what you're doing. 

This subject has more than likely been talked about but the article is cool!

As somebody who has messed around with tesla coils before, i have no comment on the topic of increasing yields but do know a properly made tesla coil is quite safe. smaller ones you can have run throught a metal rod in your hand and be fine, but i feel like this is more than its worth for small scale shrooming. Super cool though!

leave it to japan.. interesting though lol. i wonder how much this could actually help on a bulk grow. if the set up was cheap enough, i mean 80% increased yields is no small thing to bark at!

Make your own thread.  No idea what made you post this here but it's not about lightning so it's decidedly off topic.  Also yes you will have trouble, get a real jar.

One thing's for sure, they're having a super patriotic time in the background there.

Yea... We don't pour jars...


OP, I googled this and found an article eerily similar.
Lol, somebody stole from somebody.

Couldn't tell any difference. It's not so much the electricity that promotes pinning but the trauma experienced.

Ask Cron about throwing liberty's at a wall.
When I have a sub that doesn't want to fruit I "dry shock" it and or smack it around a bit.

Same principal as when subs fruit early because they run into a contam. Somehow mushroom mycelium has a mechanism that once they sense mortal danger and unfavorable conditions they attempt to fruit.

Like being out numbered and running into an enemy group with a grenade in both hands, death throes.



So yeah. Kinda useless. Substrates fruit when ready. Stressing substrates on purpose seems detrimental to me. They perform the best when in the best environment (great air exchange and constantly glistening)
