Black kow experiment * 9
    #25300352 - 06/30/18 07:55 AM (5 years, 9 months ago)

So got this black kow idea from bluelou's shit pyle style grow. Its in outdoor cultivation, somewhere. Black kow is supposedly pre-pasturized. He said you could spawn to black kow without any prep,pasterization,etc. And he was right, just grab it out of the bag, and mix it up with your spawn, clean spawn works better,lol. Seroiusly, I dont do shit to it, maybe break it up a bit, but thats it. Thanks to bluelou for his thread!

There's been much discussion on how BK can vary in consistency, and or quality, wich can affect its performance. The cultivator needs to be familiar with substrate quality and or feel. If its too wet, adding verm can help. And if BK isn't available at a box store, then coir is a much more viable option. IMO, BK is great cause it eliminates having to match or measure spawn to substrate, and the no prep. However much, or however little, you have substrate "on-tap". But if you can't find, I would just use coir.


Heres some results from using black kow, straight outta the bag!


Heres a side by side, coir vs bk.

This was kept inside and the lid was on? Post dry weight?

Yes, indoors, lid on till 50-70% colonized, then lid flipped, check twice a day. Last two days of growth it was neglected, except lights, timers. I basically used the bk as substrate, cased it with moist verm. Dry weight i dont have, i normally dont care.

Updated bk shoebox. Got a couple of boxes going with bk as a substrate. This one is wbs/ms spawned to roughly 1:1 sub/spawn ratio.
Looks like a good pinset!!!

Even if it works reliably (IDK about that) Black Kow is way more expensive than coir, verm,  straw, horse manure or just about anything else you could use.

Because if it is...WALMART sells 50 lbs it for less than $10.

5$ for 50lbs...It is the cheapest, by far. Im not trying to prove anything here, just sharing something im doing. Seems to be working pretty well so far... heres two more trays,

It doesn't work very well though. None of those yields look ideal.

Under $10 for 50# isn't bad. Cheaper than most coir if you add the water weight into it.
3pack of 650g bricks + water is like 25-26 pounds for me.

It is super cheap! Have you read the bluelou thread?  Im anticipating some sort of limitation or downfall,lol. It seems too easy, and too good to be true. Im gonna mess with it for a while, I have a bag and a half, and no time. I had to bring 3 shoeboxes out of town with me just I could keep an eye on them. I know its retarded, but i couldnt just leave em! Wish i had an apprentice, lol.

So a little update:

Lost my shoebox to the nasty's. thinking it could have been a combo of neglect for last 3 days, and the stump,abort forest i left. Or, not wanting to admit, but very well could've been the spawn. Either way, try,try again.

This guy was 1/2pt to bk in a little tray

With the bovung, it's about the same wetness as peat unless the bag gets rained on a lot. So pretty dry, but has a little dampness feel to it. I've just experimented with it a couple times, but I just add small amounts of water till its at field cap. I do it a little under field cap actually. I'm playing around with prep, sterilized it once and pasteurized it once. Gonna go for unsterile technique like u next time.

Just to add, my bag of it sits outside and the weather has gotten it to perfect field capacity. And even being closed up in the bag wet, it doesn't have any trace of mold anywhere I can see. So seems pretty contain resistant on its own.

And the DEHYDRATED Is the manure. So it's dehydrated manure mixed with humus. Not composted which is probly why it had double the nutes. Idk if that's a good or bad thing yet.

So far i havent added any water to it during prep, but i have yet to get it to flush more than once. Wich i believe is directly related to the lack of moisture. I have a couple little trays that are going for flush two, they dry out daily. I might have to try adding water during prep/spawn. Next week Im going to spawn some more shoeboxes, and hopefully enough spawn to do a 32qt unmodified, I got some 14qt totes the other day i might try as well.

Maybe try making a thicker sub. 4" depth won't dry out like 2" will. Maybe add a handful of MG moisture control. It's basically coco and peat mixed together.

Thats what its called? Mg moisture control? I suppose one could use verm as well. I like the lazy shit tho, but one flush is a waste of spawn imo.

Miracle grow is MG and moisture control is the specific type of "soil". Or u can just use coir verm or peat.

Do u pasteurize? Maybe u should test the ph, maybe it needs lime to make it multiple flushes.

Depends on the flush. When I was growing at scale I never let shit go for more than one. The real estate became more valuable than the sub.

Yea if u can push out a huge first flush and have more stuff ready to go. Who cares. Especially with such cheap ingredients that don't take much work.

Miracle grow is MG and moisture control is the specific type of "soil". Or u can just use coir verm or peat.

Do u pasteurize? Maybe u should test the ph, maybe it needs lime to make it multiple flushes.




I dont pasturize the bk. I do bucket tek coir,cvg. Im still pretty green with bulk substrates. Im going to read about ph. Its something ive read, but have no understanding of its effect. The whole point of using the bk was cause its cheap and no prep. Imo, anything I have to do besides grabbing it and mixing with spawn defeats the whole purpose. I really want to work on its own. But some tweeks might make it worthwile, I have noticed that theres seems to be more rhyzo growth during colonizing compared to my coir, or cvg subs. If that means anything. Im sure its too early to make judgements.

Depends on the flush. When I was growing at scale I never let shit go for more than one. The real estate became more valuable than the sub.




Thats kind of how I feel too, It just seems like I waste a lot of stuff also. Lol. What do you mean by at scale?

Wanted to add, if its a good flush then it wouldnt bother me i guess. But if it sucked then it would feel like a waste. But i cant help but thinking.. your overthinking!

At larger scale. One flush monos put out more if u have an assembly line set up.

And subs with a higher ph contaminate easier because it makes it more favorable for contaminants than the mycelium. If u lower the ph to 5 it should do better, that's assuming the ph is high and that's why it's done after 1 flush.

And pasturizing is usually essential to indoor growing. If u wanna skip being sterile and pasty rising stuff ur best bet would probly be wood lovers and outdoor cultivation.

What contaminants are you referring to?  Everything I can find states that fungi prefer an acidic environment in the the pH range of 5-6.  This is why casing materials are pH adjusted up, to make them less favorable to both the fungus one is cultivating as well as airborne fungal contaminants.

I'm not that educated. Ok I just mean if the ph is off. The problem is more likely that u didn't pasteurize it.

It was a larger tub than I thought. It's a 72 qt but has less surface area than my 62qt.? Well I spawned 4 fresh clean wbs qts of f+ to roughly 4 qts bovung. I just dropped agar in those last Friday so they were fast and look pretty clean to me.

Was that the jars that colonized in a week as well? That seems crazy fast to me. Is it an isolate or clone? If it is, you might have something special there! Good for you!

Yes same jars. It's just MS after 2 transfers from spore. The plate was like a month and a half old sitting in the attic thru that heat wave. Pulled it out and put 1/4 of the pasty plate in each of 4 jars. Shook at 30% which was like 4 days and it finished 3 days after the shake.

Every time I germinated new spores from this f+ print I got I've seen the same growth. It's in fruiting now.

We'll see how this goes :rockon:


Last Monday, 3 days after inoculation.


This past Friday.

This morning.

I like the wbs, but i switched brands and my prep was all over the place as far as moisture went. So i did a bunch of brf so i can keep the ball rollin. Hopefully the wbs works out. Found one contaminated this morning. Probably gonna try a g2g today, havent tried that yet. I just have a ton of cultures left that i want to use.

Easiest wbs prep IMO, no soak no simmer. I wash the seeds, boil a big pot of water. When it's boiling good I turn off the heat and dump the seed in. Slowly so u don't burn urself. Then I let sit for 30-40 minutes. Strain and allow to dry. Maybe an hour.

I've never fucked them up this way and they have plenty of moisture. Some burst grains but :shrug:

Yep, just right out of the bag, no pasturization,or prep. I did one of my first tubs with a moist verm casing. Didnt seem to make a difference. Im sure if you kept an eye on them, misted,bottom-watered, they would do better. Im kind of going the lazy, hands off approach right now. My current trays I did the lid loose for two days, then bagged them, and not touching them till their ready for harvest. Just testing the parameters.

Update on mine: 13 days after spawning, 10 fruiting. 1 lonely side pin because it shrunk a little.

Im amazed how colonized peoples surface are. I dont know if I havent paid enough attention to mine, but I swear mine never white out like that before it starts pinning. Seems like there is always some uncolonized substrate in mine. Is that a pe variety? Im gonna try some pe soon. Just gotta get the balls to order em! Lol, that part scares the shit outta me. You gonna try the bk all day nube? My new slogan,lol, bkad!

It's actually f+. Usually that's from uneven sub, or low spawn ratio, or too dry/wet. Urs look fine tho. Maybe low spawn ratio? In that tub is 4qts wbs and 4 qts manure.

I spawned one yesterday with no prep, (well I added water to it) and it's going good so far.

The shoebox on the right is a bk box. The biggun is from burying subs. PSA: bury your spent subs,lol, cover them with bk, then dirt, top it off with some dead grass or leaves.

they look so nice! To me at least,lol. Definitely have to keep an eye on them and mist when needed. I left wed, and they all were doing well, some have pins. But most shrank and needed a mist. Maybe I like things on the moist side though. I hate the word moist! Anyway, casing might be must to keep moisture good. But Im learning as I go, who knows they might be fine as they are. So far spawning to bk right out of the bag has not contaminated once through colonize,and first flush. Went threw a 50lb bag so far. Ive had two tam out after first flush so far. Most likely spawn, but cant say for sure though. Id say this shit rocks!....er, fer now,lol.
Peace all have a great weekend!

Not yet, i bought two, finished first one with no issues. Ill probably bust into the new one today. Ive been keeping it in the bag in my garage. It seems to hold moisture better when its in the bag.

Moving right along!


My clones are out preforming random isolates.
I had done 14 plates from original vendor mss, and I have been using up some of my transfer plates. The top row of trays is the random isolates. The last few pics are my clones.

Harvested two clone trays, one ms this morning.
moo!

I tried it without pasturizing, and using bacterial spawn. Here's my early results. 1:1.  6 qts of each.


And everyone SHOULD try this. It was kinda funny cuz I tried it a few days before I saw this thread. The only thing is it does lose moisture easily, maybe adding a 1/4 brick of coir would help tremendously. That's my next trial run. 1:2 coir:manure.

I use black kow in my outdoor grows. It works well especially mixed with dry grass or straw, it's too dense on its own, like mud.

I've never tried to use it inside though I imagine it'd be best pasteurized as there's all sorts of random shit in it. To me it's more like soil than it is manure. If you've ever grown cubes in flower pots you'll know what I mean.

I flipped it at spawn, last two days i had lid cocked so corners were open. I have had high rh lately. Daily misting morning and night.

But then you have to prep coir,lol. Im just lazy. And getting lazier.
I mist morning and night and that seems to keep up well. But even with coir as sub i still had to mist at least once a day. Looking forward to see how the bacterial box goes!

Well, coir doesn't take much prep? Just throw it in a bucket, or a cooler or whatever with some hot water. Once it absorbs the water it's ready.

I was only saying coir to add some better water retention. I guess verm could be added too which takes no prep. But u would have to add water. I don't really call that prep tho. As long as I can avoid pasturizing for hours on end I'm good.

So bigsurmoon, u don't even add water to the bk? I'm surprised it works that well without adding water. Every time I get bk or bovung it's pretty dry.

Haha coir is labor intensive! (Sarcasm)
No water, i just mist twice a day. This bag im on now seems drier. I just love being lazy and still have decent results. Im not picky, and I really dont have high standards, I learned pretty quick that I dont have the attention to detail, and the patience it takes to be a great cultivator. I just have fun growing. Im gonna go get a few more bags and stock up for the cold season, lol. I have time during the winter months, so Im sure I will do some experimenting. Good to see ya here still nube

I'm using potting soil & my myc seems to love it. I bought this big bag of organic stuff from the depot for like $6 and it's full of composted nutrients the myc may be able to use. I prep it via Violet's casing prep tek: First I sift out the sticks & chucks through a fine mesh strainer & it comes out like espresso ground coffee.



I hydrate it past field capacity & microwave out the extra moisture. This is done 2x, 18-24 hours apart & the result is fluffy & well hydrated & any gnat eggs & mold spores which may have been riding along in the mix are dead.

This is 72 hours from spawning, 1:1, RGS & the prepped potting soil, pseudocased at spawning:


Then at eight days (last night):


IMO, potting soil is probably not the right choice for most, but it definitely works well.

Not the one I was thinking of but natures care is good stuff. Says its yucca and coir. So I can see why it works good. When I hear potting soil I think of the old stuff, that cheap brown shit full of perlite.

Miracle grow moisture control is similar. I've used that with good results too.. The thing I like about the black kow is manure. It makes using poo easier and more accessible for us city folk. And like stated above, could be an easy way to do pans.

I just spawn 4qts of pan jams to some yesterday. I was going to throw them out anyway, so
figured I would just experiment.

I love it, im excited to see what other people think. Especially from experienced growers, I kind thought i was being a lazy noob by using bk, but it starting to look like it has a place in cultivation. Who knows maybe some months down the road it might deserve a tek. From a noobs pov, it cant get easier.

Hello all, just wanted to go over my process with some pics, I spawned 4 shoeboxes each with 2pts shady wbs. Got a little wet during sterilizing but wtf, ill spawn em. So I throw in spawn and put in roughly 4 scoopsof black kow, straight out of the bag, adding nothing. Ratio looks like thisThen I mix it up good by hand and level it off niceThen I usually put one more scoop of bk to cover the grainsThis time Im doing two with the "casing scoop", and two without. Heres how they look all done. And thats it! Easy like sunday morning.

And heres some shitty second frushes on the trays.

Update on the black kow, straight outta the bag with 6 qts of BACTERIAL spawn. Not bad for store bought manure and not very healthy spawn.

I don't weigh my harvests wet, but it's 2.6 oz dry.

Thats awesome, its cool stuff, did notice one of my tubs has got little flies, and some grass growing in it. But it works awesome, just have to mist mine at least once a day. I should have something worth showing soon.

Yea the flies definitely hitched a ride cuz it wasn't pasteurized. Not many tho. I've only seen 1 in this tub. Which I don't think is too bad for not cooking it at all. Maybe there's an insecticide that could come in handy for unpasteurized bulk?...

They suck, I got tons of em in my 30qt unmod tub, and now i got a spot that looks suspect. Havent lost a tub before first flush yet, so we will see. Ill get pics up soon, but i got a rgs box starting to pin, looks nice. I might try more rgs, ive read it doesnt do well in bulk, but ive also read that bk doesnt work, lol

Have u ever researched fermented substrates? It's a way to sterilize/pasteurize grains or bulk. Takes time, but no work or heat.

Sounds interesting, i will def look that up. Im bummed, I got to wally world to late, all the bk is gone for the season. I hate how they move next seasons shit in so early. I grabbed some other organic compost/manure that specs same .5-.5-.5. If this stuff works out of the bag i will be amazed. I got, pe,purple mystic,brazil,maz,and cambodia, streaked some plates, and did some brf. Cant wait to try some pe, everybody says its pretty potent, we shall see

Your contamed tub sure looked nice, i forgot to ask if that is a 60 something qt tub

My contaminated tub? The one I posted yesterday isn't contaminated. It was a "small" Home Depot cardboard box lined with plastic. 6 quarts of bacterial spawn and about 6 qts of black kow. And if they moved it from Walmart, I'll bet the depot or lowes has it.

And yea basically fermented substrates is exactly like it sounds. Letting it ferment to kill off bad bacteria while keeping the the good bacteria. It was very interesting stuff to read.

I meant spawn, I spawned some shitty stuff, and a couple that werent even fully colonized, too wet, and all of them seem to be doing fine. Im baffled cause everything ive read stresses how clean your spawn must be, and must do proper pasterization on sub, and all these posts about failures due to spawn or sub. I must be really lucky i guess. Seriously, I would get laughed off this site if everyone could see me work, and my work areas.

Hahaha I hear u man. i feel the same as u, they're mushrooms, they will grow. People just push the right information to help better everyone. Less contamination means more mushrooms. So people try to spread info that helps everyone instead of just letting people do things the "wrong" way and having more of a chance of failure.

Another thing ive heard tc's say is that myc cant overtake contams, wich i swear isnt true either, ive had bunches of pf jars start out with contams before any myc grew, wait em out and they fully colonize. Only exception ive had to that is pint jars with brf. My homemade syringes sucked for a while, now im better. Had to chuck like twenty some jars a month ago orso. I dont read threads too much anymore, always same twelve people stroking eachothers egos,lol.

Violet, so cool your posting here! Big fan here, enjoyed your teks and threads, my last box was rgs wich was inspired by your rgs tek. But your question, I dont microwave anything, and as far as casing, I have tried some verm on top thinking it would help keep moisture. But it doesnt seem to work. I have everyrhing for a real casing but havent tried it yet.
Thanks for stopping Violet!

My apologies, reading the thread by the time I decided to type up my question I had gotten mixed up about who posted what.

I had thought the following post was yours for some reason.
I guess it's ttching I was asking!
Or anyone who has done it.

But I was definitely referring to your great-looking grows when I typed that.

I'm using potting soil & my myc seems to love it. I bought this big bag of organic stuff from the depot for like $6 and it's full of composted nutrients the myc may be able to use. I prep it via Violet's casing prep tek: First I sift out the sticks & chucks through a fine mesh strainer & it comes out like espresso ground coffee.



I hydrate it past field capacity & microwave out the extra moisture. This is done 2x, 18-24 hours apart & the result is fluffy & well hydrated & any gnat eggs & mold spores which may have been riding along in the mix are dead.

This is 72 hours from spawning, 1:1, RGS & the prepped potting soil, pseudocased at spawning:


Then at eight days (last night):


IMO, potting soil is probably not the right choice for most, but it definitely works well.

My apologies, reading the thread by the time I decided to type up my question I had gotten mixed up about who posted what.

I had thought the following post was yours for some reason.
I guess it's ttching I was asking!
Or anyone who has done it.

But I was definitely referring to your great-looking grows when I typed that.

I'm using potting soil & my myc seems to love it. I bought this big bag of organic stuff from the depot for like $6 and it's full of composted nutrients the myc may be able to use. I prep it via Violet's casing prep tek: First I sift out the sticks & chucks through a fine mesh strainer & it comes out like espresso ground coffee.



I hydrate it past field capacity & microwave out the extra moisture. This is done 2x, 18-24 hours apart & the result is fluffy & well hydrated & any gnat eggs & mold spores which may have been riding along in the mix are dead.

This is 72 hours from spawning, 1:1, RGS & the prepped potting soil, pseudocased at spawning:


Then at eight days (last night):


IMO, potting soil is probably not the right choice for most, but it definitely works well.







Im glad the thread caught your attention. I didnt think you were still around. Great to hear from ya, Thanks for stopping by

Hi OP, good looking grows!

A small question, how might you describe your experience with microwaving your casing etc?
Thanks in advance!




I'm a big fan. Using a low power setting and short intervals it's relatively easy to get the moisture content just right. The texture on the finished product is really nice and it does well both as a casing & as substrate. I do recommend using a paper towel underneath & a gallon freezer bag over the top of the container during the microwave run as they can boil over suddenly sometimes.

U microwave black kow? And use it as a casing?

And op stated that he doesn't prep the black kow at all. Just uses it straight out of the bag.

Well heres the latest from the coop,
My shitty spawn caught up with me, lol

But when one dies, one is birthed, Think im going back to my b+ masters, ive been trying to isolate big fruits, all my isolates turn out like my last few tubs. Even my clones havent produced big ones yet. Im excited i have five new varieties on agar, now i can isolate and document shit the right way.

First one was 7pts wet wbs, I had like twenty jars that were overhydrated you could say,lol. They colonized but a few were uncolonized in the middle. So i spawned them anyway. That tub had mean green growing. I dont keep em, I just go bury them outside. I prepped like 60-70 jars a couple weeks ago, and like twenty of them turned out wet, and i think ive chucked a handful too. Lessons learned, one thing, I was filling my jars too full wich is no bueno! But i think i have a wbs tek that works for me now! And I cant find bk locally at any store, I might have to order it. See what happens.

Look for the brand I used. Home Depot or lowes should have it. "Bovung" dehydrated manure + humus. It looks and feels the same as black kow. Or just give in and go get some coir.

And yea, if ur spawns got that much bacteria it won't colonize. Worth a try tho lol. But yea, fill them less, and even under cook them a little. I undercook my wbs and load it still a little damp. After the pc it's perfect tho.

Haha, i thought the same thing, a tek. Brf to black kow, its probably is as easy as it gets. To me the biggest advantage of bk is that if you want to spawn something you can. I dont have a flow of spawn, i do shit when i can, so bk gives me the freedom to spawn a little, alot, dont matter cause its all ready to go! To me thats the best part of it. Im going back to coir for a bit, i got 5 bricks to burn threw. Im trying some other manure brands, but first two ive tried are junk i think. Spawned 4qts wbs to my last bk today, unmoded 30ish qt tub. Nice CLEAN spawn,lol.

I'm with Mycolorado for sure..!  BK is a solid approach to substrate because all you need to do is dump it out of a bag into a tub and voila!

Yeah, just checked on the boxes, and the new shit is colonizing well, already some surface myc, i think its 48hr old orso. Way browner than the bk, but seems ok. Im gonna check out some garden centers. I have to go out of town for hopefully only one night, i have 4 shoeboxes starting to pin, the most critical time and i wont be around, arrggh! But i will be on the bk hunt! Fingers crossed!

None, i promise, just grab it out of the bag. It does like to dry out daily so misting is required, imo. Cause i think i tend have my tubs a little on the wet side. I here so many people say they dont mist threw first flush. Ive never been able to pull that off, even with coir. So I would say the one downside of bk is that you have to check on your tubs at least once a day. You probably could add some verm or water to it, but i wont cause i think thats two more vectors of contamination. Im probably wrong, but i wont fuck with it. As far as a tek, i think it would be best to add links to other teks in the bbk tek, and i honestly dont know how to do shit but post some pics. I will someday. Thanks for all the support everyone this has been so fun!

Well I finally got around to clicking on this thread and I have to say I'm compelled. I have some P Cyan spawn coming up so it's especially interesting. After looking around, I found that a Lowes about 25 miles away is the only store in my state that sells BK. 50lb for $5.17. Gonna pick up 200 lbs tomorrow.

I have some pans on it. It's not really doing much.

Just slow colonization. I don't have much grain in it so that could be it. I threw the
shoebox outside so it's full on open air.

Online prices are crazy. The guy at Lowe's said they had to special-order it because people kept asking for it. Must be a lot of Shroomerites in my neck of the woods. Headed there now for 200 pounds for 25 bucks.

Little update, nothing exciting.these sucked imo.

And heres a first for me, never had one go green all over the top at the end of the flush. It was fine, most of the fruits looked healthy, probably try some tea with em.
All i got fer now.

It happens. Usually my fruits don't like to stand up on there own very well with a trich outbresk. Atlesst in tubs where the mycelia network out grew the trich.

Probably what ur seeing too id imagine

I have noticed the bk is susceptible to trich. But it does make things easy when u can just dump it out of the bag and mix with ur spawn. And from what I've seen, even tho it's a lot more sense than coir, it still colonizes perfectly fine. I'd suggest using a liner with it tho cuz it does shink pretty fast.

I think my issues lately is cause of my wbs prep.  It does shrink like a bastard. And it is hard to pull multiple flushes. Might have found the limitations. I busted open a new bag and it was super wet, like clumpy, and probably twice at wet as past bags. I used it as is, its a test to see if hydrating makes any difference. We shall see. In a few days im gonna do some side by side of different varieties, one coir, one bk

This timberline tub though, just crazy growth, i put some coir on top. I spawnded 12 1/2pt brf to coir trays yesterday, pe,purple mystic,cambodian,and brazil. I went with brf cause my wbs prep has been so-so lately. Im gonna go back to sbj's wbs prep, it worked, then i had bright ideas!,lol.
Oops wrong pic, heres box before casing

My best canopies were tinys, seemed like the more bare boxes threw bigger fruits, at least with my b+. Ive been trying to hone in on a large fruit culture but it keeps eluding me. Im working on transfers from some outdoor giants. But outdoor prints are messy, its crazy what shows up on a streak plate!lol.

Nube, I cannot find bovung boss! Im kinda diggin this timberline manure, u should check it out.

Oh, I saw this yesterday. Dude, uses a screen over a tub to break up his soil. I've noticed
the black kow can get chunky.

Go to 2:50.

I guess the board doesn't properly format youtube links with the time in the url.

Yeah you construction?
Everything is b+ isolates,clones. I got some new varieties in the works. Im thinking about doing some print giveaways here if anyone wants any. O just want feedback on how my prints are, quality wise. I did a giveaway and no one told me how the prints were, just left ratings.

So if anyone is willing to leave feedback on the quality of my b+ prints, pm me.

I'm sure it's been mentioned already, but mixing black kow into the standard bucket tek -at the 45min. stir point- will maintain field capacity, fluff up the black kow mix, add nutrition to the substrate and provide some level of pseudo pasteurization.

I have a second flush of KSSS coming in a MONTH later. I threw the sub outside and covered it
in black kow. It's been raining a lot. The fruits look like they will be a combination of
normal and UFO-style. Will post pics soon.

EDIT!

Thanks, i think ive honed in on nice genetics, my last few boxes ive done have been from an lc/isolate. I think she's a keeper, only took a few months to get to. I do enjoy agar work though,

I spawned a pan cyan shoebox 2 days ago that I didn't have high hopes for because  my jars were slightly bacterial. To my surprise it's kicking ass and  myc looks great. If it holds up I'll post some pics in the next couple days.

I get the sideways stare all the time. I expand until they come more frequently coupled with limited verbal cues. Then everything goes out of sight for a while. Repeat cycle.

When I'm on the downswing it's difficult not to start conversations like, "Honey I'm so stoked about this culture I'm working on right now".

She just doesn't find it interesting enough to care. She'll humor me when I'm excited about something science or myco related but really doesn't give a shit. Good girl though, just different interests.

Would be nice to have a chick that could prep some grain for me while I'm working late but...

Yeah mine looks at it like any other hobby, and im the type to dive in head first, so its just like the truck,fishing,music, just more shit i waste time and money on, her biggest bitch is all the stuff i dont clean and all the shit lying around. The best is my ten bag stack of black kow, she's like,"are you fucking serious?" Pretty confident that was her exact words. She gets it though, just have to make sure my chores are done before i can go out and play,lol been 18years together, shes a great women, but still a women.

I remember when I started people said you couldn't use black kow. It has to be field aged manure or coir nothing else will work. But Appearantly not. I was going to black kow but I never made it to the store so I just used old lawn clippings.

This stuff rules for when you want to throw a sub outdoors. I have 5 bags or so in the garage.
I'm sold on this stuff. And after a good rain it smells like an Exxon toilet.

The timberline manure/compost worked too. After i read blueluo's thread i said i had to try that. Took me a while to find, but totally worth it imo, the "freedom to spawn", i say (to myself, lol), its the slogan. I also like "straight outta the bag", reminds me of the good old days,

I have my fingers crossed. I've never cultivated pans before. I have 2 shoeboxes a couple days apart experimenting with slightly different conditions.

The 1st box I came out to check on it after 2 days and had one of those "Holy Shit" moments. It fucking burned through the sub like crazy.

Yeah i have a lot of stuff going on atm. I did mess up back when i first started back up. I basically under sterilized a bunch of rye:facepalm:  but were back up to speed again. I have Rustywhyte starting to fruit. Along with psilos/Azures Pesa-PE, and mazapatec, and menace. Im just fruiting in shoeboxes for the time being. Almost everything I'm running is ms genetics. So I'm kinda looking for some clones from the ms boxes. I should have pics here really soon. Like with in a weeks time frame i should think.

This guy is what I've been kinda working on myself. A pigmentless peu clone. It came from a fruiting plate tho so who knows how well it's gonna perform. We shall see

That's a easy problem to fix tho. Even if ur low on spawn u can g2g some b4 u spawn. But the time u chuck the shoe boxes ill be tripping over monos :lol:

Shoe boxes are cool tho. I just haven't done one yet. I used to use cake pans with the snap on lids. I guess that's like a shoe box.

Yeah exactly the dame thing almost. I was never a big fan of them either. For me they required a little more checking on with my substrate drying out. But I guess I've gotten a little better or the environments different here in my new place because I only sprayed these once when I first raised the fae and that's been it.

I still haven't sourced black kow yet locally :facepalm:

Yeah i have a theory that the round ones do better, some of the best flushes ive seen were in round containers. I did trays with the new varieties so i could print and clone them right away.
