Sporeplosion: is it worth trying to wipe down the black caps with a damp cloth or should I just leave it as is




I dont see sporeplosion anywhere in that pic :shrug:

If there was one, I would just rinse the fruits with water after harvest.
All the spores will come off easily with just a swipe with your finger when rinsing.

Mateah- Not that pic, he's talking about another tub

Huskies- I've never gone to the trouble of wiping them off but you can if you want. I've heard of ppl misting heavily and wiping them off after. Too much trouble imo.

ManifoldPrime- I don't wash them and I haven't heard anyone mention that they do either. Maybe the guys that grow on shit do. I've done it with wild harvested and really dirty grocery store booms but never my own

Oh that is just a pretty picture of IMo my most photogenic tubs, they look like soft lil fairy shrooms.

But yeah, my PESH tub was pure black slimy caps. They are drying though, I got fed up after washing a 1/4 of them

No, just a thick layer of spores on the caps, they have curved inwards a bit, creating lil cups

I agree with you, germs.  It's best for the mycelium to be able to source their nutrition from varying sources, but as far as supplements, and additives go I think it's best for the cultivator to get the basic methods down first, then divulge in the realm of adds, and supps.

You sound very inexperienced if you're calling gypsum "goofy" dude.  :smirk:

Gypsum is simple to use, beneficial in all stages of growth, and doesn't cause contamination.

I see two types of recipes, both have pro and cons.

A: 10/90 or 25/75 dry spawn to enriched, cold substrate.
B: 50/50 or 60/40 dry spawn to normal, cold substrate.


A: Contains more cellulose (and if wood lignin-other), can be made to be carbon controlled (no starch-sugar).
    If starch or sugar is added, the media is no longer open air safe, aseptic working is required.

B: I'ts far less likely to contaminate when "clean" spawn is used, as no starch-sugar is added.


As mentioned scenario A can be made to be carbon controlled to just cellulose + spawn.
Adding coffee to scenario B will produce scenario A, as it contains starch-sugar.

Adding gypsum (for the better part), will not produce scenario A.

Gypsum is goofy if you don't need to add it but spend money on it and it doesn't add as much to your grow as it costs. Do some with some without. If you see no difference ask yourself why you are doing it.

No one said its not beneficial. But it's super far from necessary. If you have it use it. If you don't there's no reason to go get some or wait until you have it.

People are very dogmatic about gypsum because RR said. He also never posted any proof that he saw a difference. He just said he did.

It can help but prep will help more.
Grain prep correctly should shake easily gypsum or not

I've done both with and with out over the last ten years multiple times, and I subscribe to gypsum.  So many more than you it's not even funny.  Seeing as how you've had very very limited experiance and are very willing to say there is no difference that you are the one being dogmatic.  Cut the crap dude.  Let's an isolate demonstration on your part with consecutive success.  Not just one ms grow with and with out before you go and demonize gypsum.

40kg of soft building sand is £2.40. Gritty compost is very good for some substrates.

You could try compost and grain, but compost contains various nutrients.
I've never tried it, but it may increase the contamination risk.

Sulfur is used for certain amino acids and unit binding.
Calcium is used for oxalate's and unit binding.

Use depends on the recipe and media.

for the record my point was, and you can apply this to almost anything,.. is that mastering and
perfecting the basics will give you far better results then not and using add ons.

focus on your driving before you buy that fancy ass car. make sure you can comprehend english before you pick up 'brief history of time'.

i was agreeing with ham, and making a point of fundamentals being more important than that handfull of crush drywall.
