Idk about the blobs. Here is my TP bags. 2 out of 7. The other bags are starting but have less and few are 4 Days behind. They are just now starting to make pins. Usually they grow to make a full canopy. This is on 13th transfer.

I’d give more FAE at that point, they like to choke but ince theyre consolidated good air helps pinning. My struggle is keeping a good surface for the 3 weeks it takes to initiate.
Had a power outage for a few days during pinning in my first run in a new space and it threw me for a huge loop getting airflow dialed, lots of shitty pinsets. Looked at monotub teks, realized i had been rocking less holes than pasty recommended, so i added more to all my totes. Now Its been hard to keep enough air moving to stop the heat from stratifying without drying surfaces. I keep moving fans, removing fans, dialing down and putting things on timers. Might have it finally but we’ll see…
So tired of misting but at least I’m nailing good flushes now

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!
I'd take them now and wait for the second flush. Blobs are great for grinding into powder.

Well, I pulled all that blobby popcorn a few days ago, and this thing just took off. Maybe it would’ve done the same thing even if I had not harvested all the blobs, no way to know. But I’m excited to see where it goes.

With a flashlight, I can see spores on the stipe up underneath the cap. Time to swab?

Harvested 2 bags today. There's 5 TP bags & 1 AA+ bag left. Even the other bags made on same day as these 2 are few days behind. They wasn't as warm as the ready bags. I picked 1 fruit from each bag to clone. The biggest prettiest one.

So worth the wait, I really like how that TP looks, if you wanna trade for 118 lmk.
Also love how mel doesnt “need” to be harvested in such a short window, like those could have gone another day with no problems, its the best cube for people who’re too busy to harvest 2x a day..

One bag was 1:1 = 5lb spawn : 5lb coir/verm One bag was 1:2 = 2.5lb spawn : 5lb coir/verm
&
The results are basically the same. I only do one flush so idk how 2nd would be. But the 1st is damn near the same.

I go 1:4 and get multiple decent flushes, usually 40-50 dry per lb first ~15-20 second third if it makes it that far is just a few big 100g monsters but usually worth it if i hydrate enough ahead of time and dont neglect, esp if the second flush was kinda weak

I usually get 3-5oz off each bag on the 1st so I'm usually pretty happy about it. Wife doesn't want them around so I am only doing 1 flush. That's all I do normally anyway

Joining the Melmak team. Culture was labeled thrasher.
One mono produced a ton of blobs and a few big fruits. Looked extremely similar to Egon_Spengler’s tub.
This shoebox has a much sexier pinset.

How long do you guys dehydrate melmaks? I usually dry mine for 48hrs. Seems to moist after only 24hrs.
