ComebackKid's Grow Log Species: Cubensis Var: PBR x Albino Species: Pan Cyan Var: Hawaii Species: Pan Cambo Var: Sandos
DEC 18 2019 Waiting on Melmak swabs in the mail... hope they get here before the 1st
JAN 1 2020 Haven't got Melmac spores in the mail yet. So I'm swabbing the gills of one of these PBR caps that I mixed with some albino spawn. Let's see what happens 

JAN 5 2020 I've got growth on one of my plates!
Potato phone quality photos 

JAN 7 2020 Noticing some germination on the second plate now. Made my first transfer from the first plate.
 Only took one transfer. Kept the germ plates just in case something goes wrong but should be fine
JAN 10 2020 Things are really getting out of control now. I've got cultures out the ying yang over here in the germination station. Put some Pan Cyan and Pan Cambo spores to agar today.

Trying something new. Thanks to Mary Fairchild for the gift 
JAN 17 2020 ABX So after 1 transfer the cube myc is looking clean and uniform. Gunna drop this plate to three jars of grain whenever I find time.

Pan Cambo Sandos Took one transfer from the whispiest looking growth. Holding onto the germ plate for now.

Pan Cyan Hawaii All wispy growth.... Is this even what I'm looking for? Took one transfer and holding onto the germ plate to keep an eye on it.

Grain Prep
JAN 18 2020 Soaked 4.5 quarts of wheat kernels overnight ~24 hours
JAN 19 2020 -Boiled water in 23 qt presto -Strained the soaked grain then added grain to boiling water -Boiled ~15 minutes -Left to steam dry in colander for ~ 1 hour -Loaded 12 quart jars 3/4 full (3 cups each) -PC 90 minutes at ~15 PSI -Let cool overnight
JAN 20 2020 Inoculated 3 jars with agar wedges

Then gave 'em a good shake
JAN 25 2020 T1 Pan Cambo
So now I'm just questioning everything at this point This Pan Cambo myc looked good to me on the germ plate.... but lookin fuzzy as hell on the T1
Took two transfers anyway. But I think it might be back to the drawing board for these Pan cultures.

FEB 06 2020
Spawned half a tub with ABX Other half with a PE clone
ABX 2.25 qts spawn 1/2 brick coir 1 qt verm 2.5 at water

FEB 10 2020 Earlier this month I germinated some more Pan Cambo and Cyan spores. Took about 4 samples from each a couple days ago and today I took some more transfers from the cyan and cambo germ plates.
The mycelium is looking a lot better this time around. I stopped going after the whispy growth and started looking for something that looked more like crons culture.
I'll have lots to choose from soon!
Pan cambo Only one spot looking good imo took a transfer

Pan cyan Lots of places to choose from I took two samples from this plate

FEB 18 2020
Been narrowing down my plates. I think I'm going to run with these.
Pan cyan Hawaii

Pan cambo Sandos

I don't have much to pick from with the cambos. This was the best looking myc I could find. I'm just going to run this and see what happens
FEB 24 2020 ABX 18 days after spawn
Pinset is starting to fill out So far no traces of the albino genes in sight

FEB 28 2020 ABX 22 days after spawn

Happy new year!! Thanks for moving the thread cron! Going to update the OP with last few links
Jan 1st Haven't got Melmac spores in the mail yet. So I'm swabbing the gills of one of these PBR caps that I mixed with some albino spawn. Let's see what happens 
Agar mix: 1/2 cup water 2g agar powder 3g BRF

A Rustywhyte kerfuffle  interesting
Did anyone have any ideas on how the first tub wound up looking like that? Were the spores from the leucistic fruits red?

That's usually how I roll too. I've lost a culture or two from doing this over the years tho and many close calls hahaha I like living in the edge tho what can I say
Also I just really hate prepping no pour dishes 
Bought some of those screw top no pour holy grail dishes off amazon the other day tho I'm excited to try em out

Grimsweeper said: I'm the one who mentioned a contest so I'll put it out there. I pledge a 10 pack of prints/swabs for 1st torn veil of harvest size (not a tiny mutant).
I added your contest to the OP 
If anyone else wants to run a contest just post in this thread and I'll link it in the OP.
I may think up a few myself. I was thinking about doing some kind of participation giveaway as well upon completion of a grow log.

Grimsweeper said: Yeah I think I'll drop in 2 grain jars straight from the germ plate for the sake of completion if they look decent but I know theres a lot of noobs on here so please only do so if you have the time/plates/patience to also do transfers. I'd love to see far more successful grows than failures.
Maybe there could be a minimum 1 transfer rule?
Not my contest but it kind of defeats the whole idea of spores being cleaned on agar if people are just racing to get a single fruit to mature.

Okay I have an offer. I want to see everyones best work so...
One print or swab to any and all participants who complete their grow log.
Log must include: -Dates -At least one documented agar transfer(s) -Picture of clean/healthy/desired mycelium -Bulk sub preparation -Inoculation process -Fruiting conditions (FC, GH, outdoor etc) -Mushrooms
Upon completion message me with your choice of: -PE swab -ESS swab -Albino swab -KSSS swab I may update the list with more options down the road.
There is no time limit. Even if it takes you all year to get clean mycelium on agar the offer still stands.

I’m with you. I hate doing things for the first time where you have to wait not knowing if it’ll even work.
I'm just praying there were even any spores at all in the cap that I swabbed I always have doubts with PE varieties just cause I can't see anything Loving the microscope shots in some of the grow logs I'm seeing. Making me want to get one myself
I should be getting some melmac spores in the mail any day now so I'll be streaking again soon anyway

I'm going to be going on a Pan endeavor myself pretty soon. I've never used bags or pasteurized anything before so I was thinking of knocking up some poo/ straw muda bottles with LC and then breaking em up into trays.
Asura has the write ups though. If you're looking for some good reference material.
Durgin Psilopsychin has found some wild in Costa Rica. He might have some tips

Even a refillable jet lighter will do. That's all I use. You can find em at the dollar store or spend a couple bucks on a half decent one and refill canister.

JAN 7 Noticing some germination on the second plate now. Made my first transfer from the first plate.
 Only took one transfer. Kept the germ plates just in case something goes wrong but should be fine
Also put 3 drops of KSSS spore solution to agar and swished it around a bit.

Theres no falling behind guys. Some people are going to get caught up at different stages. Last time I was still messing around with transfers while other people were spawning tubs. Just keep those grow logs going.

I'd really like to see where you took the wedges. I want to try CBK's method of taking from the very edge and beyond!
Also I haven't started yet either, one week to go! But my Grow Plan has benefited from lots of tweeking.
Damn it's been so long I forgot I drew on my agar plates to show where I was pulling from. That culture I was working with at the time was perfect for pics it had a huge clear leading edge.
... I should really finish that log some time I didnt realize so many people were referencing it till someone PM me about it a few weeks ago

This should be the last of the prints I have coming my way right now so hopefully I can stop adding variants after this. I just see no reason to not include them. Makes it easier to document everything. One more time, thank you CBK for forcing me into progress with this event.
 I just got some Pan cyan and cambo prints putting em to agar tonight  Will prob be building a GH soon maybe I'll add that to my grow log as well
Going to lose my mind trying to keep after all these cultures pretty soon tho

I like to be on the nutrient rich side for germination although I doubt that's really making much of a difference in your case. 10 days isn't uncommon my guess would be they're just stubborn
