This hobby has shown me that you can have strings of bad luck that last for months. Get comfortable with the growing process and move onto exotics if you want sure-fire potency.

Honestly I cant believe I haven't run exotics yet. I have some ATL7 ready for grain now, excited for that.

Couple weeks time I'll be putting pan cyans and subtropicalis to agar. I have a small grow tent and a mist maker, need to see if I can put some use to it.

I have other prints like Bisporus, Alennii, Hispanica, Rancho Agosto and Cambos. Just need to look more into them first.

Do you know if I could run all exotics mentioned in one tent under the same conditions?

Guys, where are y’all buying bulk vermiculite at?

Nothing available at my lowes and Home Depot. Ace hardware has but the quality sucks, too fine.

Amazon charging $19 for 8 quarts :blush:

Honestly I’ve never had anything perform poorly in a pan type fruiting chamber. I know a few people that have had good luck running a bunch of different exotics in a jcm chamber. I know crack had a mono of tamps that went pretty well. I also fruited semps running them exactly like cubes. 100% coir, no casing and in a shoebox

tamps can grow pretty well on straight coir in monos/shoeboxes too



reverendmyc also had a pretty killer mono grow of tamps in the stone producers thread. i just soaked mine with the mister after they started to colonize the top & the tub went wild


@shewey: i reused the mp tape on my pasty plates for multiple runs, you should be fine until the tape looks visibly shitty

yeah of course! sometimes i would double up on the tape if i wasn’t sure of the original, but i didn’t fully replace it that often. & thank you!! it was my first time growing them, it honestly felt easier than cubes lol im shocked at how heavy these things can fruit

I get 8qts from Walmart for $6, but it's only fine grade, so I also grab a bag of medium from a hydroponics store.. sometimes they have to special order it.. and then I mix them in a big tub.

Why use verm? Just use more coir.

I don’t measure anything before adding water to the coir and ime it’s easier to add a scoop of loose verm to reach fc than it is to break off the right size chunk of coir
