Hobbit I’ve only run MMTP twice so far, but both times took long enough I considered tossing them before seeing pins.
I just pulled the end of the second flush from a tub spawned 11/30. I think it was near five weeks before I had more than one pin.
Haven’t tried them yet, but if slow fruiting correlates with potency….

Well I cut vents into 2 bags. There are few more bags that I didn't vent. Just to see how it pans out. This culture takes a long time and I know that. Normally a 21 day strain but we pushing the time frame this round.

I agree, so far melmac tp has taken the longest to do it's thing. The first tub I grew was well over 30 days before a pin showed up. The next bin was a bit longer and was about 2.5 months from spawn before the first flush reached maturity, or where I got tired of waiting. I have a clone that consistently starts knotting at day 17 and pins at day 31 from spawn. It's not the most potent one but it produces a lot in 1 flush. I went back to spores for lagm 23 and have a culture in sslc. I'm hoping I can find a faster, higher potency clone that gives a decent flush but I doubt it will win any races. Macs really tested my patients now semps are. Good luck!

Bigworm - From the genetics that U passed I was able to select a fast clone. My second round with them: clone>grow>spore>clone now back to grain. The jars are done in 9 days and last runs first spawn was at 14 days. Few weeks away from finding if they are fast to fruit again.

Found a pin in one of my bags. So it's was day 21 like I thought but only one bags is showing a pin. I vented all the other bags and hope that helps with them showing up sooner.

My first tub of Melmak TP, first flush, blob extravaganza

harvested them tonight, were very slow growing in the tub but extremely fast on grain
hope the second flush produces some normal looking fruit but I'll take it
also hoping for the legendary Mak potency, fingers crossed

Weird I’ve never heard of MMTP blobbing. Did you happen to use a lot of spawn?

I've never had it blob either. Never.

Interesting. It’s not TP, but this is my first Melmak grow, and it’s doing a blobby kinda thing while pinning. It’s a plate pin clone, 1/2 pint of WBS, at 1:3 with CV.
Maybe I should’ve cased it…

Im upping the number of FAE holes to see if I can get a better distribution of pins, and less blobby shapes.
Edit: I know the surface looks wet. It’s been much more fine. Lots of drops fell and pooled as I took the lid off for the photo. Without touching the myc, I’ve gently blotted the larger ones up with the corner of a paper towel, before replacing the lid.

I recently had some melmak tp blob. Ran 2 16qt tubs one 1:3 one 1:4, 1:3 tub had some blobs

Also ran in ziplock at 1:3, no blobs

Had some shoeboxes at 1:3 also, those only had like 2 or 3 lil blobs

Weird. Those MMTP tubs look way more like PE than the ones I have. I bet that’s probably not a coincidence.

Even more weird was this tub (on the right) from a satellite mycelium colony from the same swab as the one on the left. Same swab as previous post

I haven't had melmac TP blob either. I ran some trash bins of it too. How much did you compress the sub? Top layer?

I ran them how Id run any culture im testing 1:3 last quart goes on top x2 for 16qt tub. I compress all my tubs. Ill run them with a thicker top layer at some point, but Im not to worried about it at the moment.

yes fellas mine was also about 1:3 I would bet, was only a quart of spawn, that tub is 18L. Had a good top layer and some compression, perhaps not thick enough and maybe not compressed enough either
Took a bunch of the blobs last night, potency was honestly outrageous. These cubes easily rival my outdoor Cyans
so I am not sure if I care if I get blobs in the end really here's hoping she throws up some actual nice mushrooms though, would like to see that

I kinda doubt theyre melmac at all. Like AKA said those scream swpe, maybe a mislabel or accidental cross
Either way I request you guys dont give them away as such, just call , the line is degraded if thats what they were

This is 118 which was from the same guy as TP
Tp was longer and straighter, less ice cream cone and more closed caps. I went for the short fatties, The melmac revert came out of 118 if Im not mistaken.

Baised on where the swabs came from Im pretty confident its just reverted/degraded. Not a big deal, got some mak 118 swabs from someone else that are on T1s right now so maybe Ill get the right pheno this time...

Awesome, they’re still cool looking and always worth exploring any PE pheno that doesnt blob as much.
Swabbin the big guy to the right today and some of his more closed capped friends was gonna offer but sounds like you’re covered.

When would y’all recommend I harvest these blobs? Slightly firmer than marshmallow?
And would taking them early be likely to encourage more normal pinning like the one regular lookin fruit I’ve got coming in lower left corner with dark cap?
Thanks!
