The clone came from this MS shoebox. ALL pics are of the same shoebox. I took 4 clones from here. I ended up not liking how one was looking on agar after many transfers, so I tossed it. This one was the 1st that I felt comfortable to use. It was designated LGT-b. I still have LGT-a & LGT-d to try out from this shoebox. LGT-a just hit some grains with some more plates to go in a few days probably. LGT-d should also go to grains soon to be tested.

Then off of the last of some MS grows I manage to pull 6 other clones from nice clusters. Giving me LGT-e to LGT-j, that I will get to test hopefully on 4-6 weeks.

I am going to have to attempt to germ some ape spores soon. I am trying to wait a couple weeks so I can order a case of 500 petri for my "to grain" plates. 50-60 mini rounds a week gets old. I want to just use the mini rounds for germination and the 1st couple transfers. To damn much tinfoil work, lol.

At what point would you guys take a clone tissue sample? I’ve got a shoebox that has a couple beautiful clusters, but they’re still only very small. About an inch tall. Probably have at least three or four more days to go. Would it be better to slice off one of the fruits and clone, or wait to see which one gets largest? I meant to take a clone from another box and I was thinking “I’ll wait till this one opens up so I can clone AND print.” Then it opened and I was like shit...I don’t think you’re supposed to clone a mushroom if it’s sporulating...right?
I do have a clone sample on agar from a previous grow that looks good, but it was just taken off a single fruit that wasn’t a cluster, or even very large. Would you guys even mess with trying to fruit something like that? I only cloned it to have a healthy culture on hand as I had run everything out at that point.

cloning is like dating/fishing.
cast a wide net and dont discriminate.
 i cloned a single stand alone midi monster that grew a tub that was basically a dry 73g cluster.

So I can still take a tissue sample from a mature/sporulating mushroom?

sure. why not?
the technical reasons for 'why' are RARELY going to be an issue for anyone. so clone from where ever. by the time you are taking really good quality clones your cultivation skills will expand and those technical reasons become clearer. (senescence and shit)
but in the meantime? fuck it bro. clone from whereever. if its a real, truly bad ass culture? youll figure out a way to keep it going. thats just my advice for now. and that clone culture i took wasnt worth keeping anyway so fudge it. or im a huge noob and i dont know shit.

Awesome. I’ll clone away then. Don’t have room to fruit a dozen cultures so I’ll probably just take two or three to start. Really gotta get a nice canopy under my belt. Couple tubs looking promising right now.

Id say in this entire thread, maybe 2 or 3 grows used hpoop. Straight coir is all i use.
But i will be updating with hpoo as well. Just gotta go get some.
@4life - those trays might be good for one off 'disposable' grows. Might check one out. Thanks
Wooo!!! Mushboy's gonna run some hpoo!!!   
Haha!!!

Nice haul! And yes, dunk it for a little while then put it back in the tub. Or just mist it heavily. Expect some more shrooms in another week or two

Why would you leave the lid on and lock them in place??? You probably could of ended up with way nicer fruits if you dubbed.

That is the dubbed tub youre looking at its touching the top of it, you're looking at the bottom of the dubbed tub held together with elastics.

I am loving this thread! I can't wait to get my shoeboxes running! Hopefully within a couple of days I will be there, for one or two boxes.
Great information exchange and pictures here!

There are basically 150 pages of great info and growlogs in this thread... i remember first being unsure about how well shoeboxes would work for me and they ended up being my predominant method of cult
