EDIT: Source for the spores proved themselves to be unreliable/mistaken. Turns out what I grew is probably not chicon nindo. Apologies for misleading. Unsure of what it is, some stone producer, probably tampanensis

Count me in please!
Planning to grow some P. Mexicana Jalisco and Chicon Nindo, that is if they ever get out of USPS "in transit, arriving late" purgatory. :angrykidface:

1/5/20:
Prints finally arrived! Might have been duped by the seller but we shall see :shrug:

1/7/21
So 2 days later and 3 out of 4 plates have sporulating mold and bacteria where I streaked.
Very much a noob, always been lucky and had clean prints.
On these 3 plates there does not appear to be any desired germination, for me 3 days was the fastest I usually got usable growth with stone producers.

The 1 remaining plate without any obvious mold or bacteria so far(which is Chicon Nindo,) has some very faint growth which I am optimistic is in fact the right stuff(in previous grows I have seen very faint growth at 2 days but who knows this could be more mold.)

Here is a mold plate:

Bad photo but the white shit is starting to turn green.

I decided to swipe 2 more plates with Chicon and Jalisco to see what happens. As a backup in case I fail I also swiped one of my own Galindoi prints to ensure I have something to grow.

1/9/21:
So the one plate of Chicon not yet overridden with mold has growth that looks like it might be the right stuff. I always have trouble identifying mycelium on early plates.

Going to transfer and see how it grows out.

Unfortunately the only Jalisco plate with potential desired growth alsl has a bunch of mold that had a head start. Not even sure if the little bit I see germinating is Jalisco or just more mold.

1/14/21:
Slowly making progress baby!
Photos kinda shitty my b
Chicon T1's moving along alright:

Going to let it grow out and if it looks good might go to grain.

Here's a look at the seccond attempt Jalisco germination plate:

Mostly clean growth!! :awedance:

Athlough right at the edge of the plate at 10oclock there's a hoe ass white mold starting to creep so better transfer before it takes over.

1/18/21:

I thought the above two Chicon T1 plates looked good enough so decided to send them to grain yesterday. I took a transfer from both in case it doesn't work out.
Here's a jar one day later:

I fucked up the prep, first time using WBS, think I made it too wet. On top of that the jars I've never used before, they're pasta sauce jars. The lids seemed decent though so hopefully no problems(so far actually better at least ergonomically than regular 2 piece mason jar lids.)

The two Jalisco T1's are moving along(albiet slowly):

The first one if it continues to look good I'll send to grain, the second isn't uniform so I'm gonna take another transfer before then.

1/23/21:
Decided to put this Jalisco T1 to grain cuz it looked purty

In the past I've always been an agar nut who would go overboard with 20 transfers before having the balls to go to grain. So T1 to grain is fairly new territory to me. My hope is to keep as much genetic diversity as possible :shrug:

1/26/21:
Here's the Jalisco 3 days later. Once it leaps off a little more it's also getting a good shaking:

1/30/21:
Chicon looks to be just about fully colonized at day 13:

Hope to spawn it this weekend to straight coir 1:1
:justcantwait:

First time using WBS, really liking it over oats so far. Cant seem to get oat prep right

2/1/21:
Spawned 2 trays of chicon 1 jar each with coir 1:1

Fingers crossed they colonize fine

Jalisco jar 9 days in hopefully not too far behind:

If it colonizes well I may g2g a couple more jars

2/6/21:
I got bored and decided to case the chicon and place into fruiting. Trays looked mostly colonized.
Put a sprinkling of sand and a layer of peat as thin as I could make it. Pictures are shite but there's not much to see.
Before casing:

Sand because fuck it I had some on hand:

Peat:

One tray in a greenhouse the other in JCM's pan chamber. I have a feeling the one in JCM's chamber is going to do better as I'm pretty shite at dialing in the gh.

The Jalisco jar is getting there:

2/11/21:

OH SHIT!
:ohboyohboyohboy:

Spotted a couple pins on the Chicon tray in JCM's pan chamber.

I love this fruiting chamber, keeps shit so wet. First time using it but it seems perfect for Mexicana and Tamps. No dialing in no nothing. Just set the bitch up and she does it all.

Meanwhile the tray in the poorly dialed green house aint doin shit, my fault though for being a tard.

2/12/21:
Lil babies in the chicon tray chugging along:

Ugh, as I was taking a photo I dropped the light I was using directly on the tray and squashed part of it :facepalm:

The tray in the greenhouse has no pins which is typical, as I always have trouble initiating pinsets in there. Once these pins have grown a little more I'll swap the trays to help get it going.

2/13/21:
Swapped the pinning tray into the greenhouse and the nonpinning tray into JCM's pan chamber to try and get her going. Hopefully these pins mature alright in the gh:

Meanwhile I think the Jalisco jar is a goner. 21 days old she seems to be stalled.
Time to go back to agar and try again.

2/16/21:

2/19/21:
Log update:

First chicon tray is doing well. Some fruits starting to sporulate and I will begin to harvest sometime this weekend probably. I borrowed a better camera to take some photos, I don't know shit about taking photos but they're better than what I do with a phone.

Meanwhile :uhoh:

The second chicon tray initially kept in the greenhouse aint doin so hot.
Hopefully jcm's pan chamber is able to get it pinning better. :lol:

2/24/21:

bruh.
Second tray of chicon coming in weird af.
idk if the difference can be attributed to MS or conditions or wtf...

Bottom line is, mofos do not look healthy.
Just dat noob life I guess.

I increased the light and FAE to see if that will get the fuckers to stop growing wacked out:

At least they fruited I suppose :shrug:

2/27/21:

More pics on the ugly duck second chicon tray.
Increasing the light and FAE seems like it might be helping some of the younger fruit to grow more normally.

3/1/21:
Final update on the last tray of chicon:

5/30/21:
The source for the spores proved to be unreliable and what I grew is probably not chicon nindo. Seems as though both prints were the same variety, appearing to be perhaps tampanensis. I did not log the progress of the following tray but it was the fake jalisco print:
