Cool tent setup and results! I came here from the links in your sig and I'll for sure refer to this thread when I make my own grow tent. Post-prohibition we have so many products available to use that some older greenhouses / marthas arent designed around.

Thanks, cutie. Yes. There are a lot of options these days when it comes to greenhouses/ humidity tents. I really just had a bunch of stuff left over after I decided to quit growing cannabis. I use a 4' x 8' grow tent as my lab/clean room. I use a 2' x 4' tent for spawn and a 5' x 5' for fruiting. I plan on building another fruiting tent for gourmet's. If space permits, I might use a 4' x 8' for gourmet. If not, I know another 5' x 5' will fit in the available space.
Anyway, feel free to post and ask questions in either thread. I will be glad to help you out in anyway I can.

Thanks, Melliferous.
I have been waiting patiently for a pin clone to pop up on one of my TWC plates. I gave it another day or two after I first seen it. Tonight I dropped it into a lc. My whytegold pin clones have done well in a lc and can't wait to get them on grain this weekend.

Someone in another thread said that deformed mushrooms might be from bacteria. My colonization rate and yields have been fine. Envy ss are a cross between pe and ksss. Aren't both varieties prone to blobbing and/or mutations?

Yes, I can confirm that both exhibit bizarre growth characteristics. Frankly, I disagree with starbones on the bacteria being the cause here, but

Looking good bb! Really got the tent dialed in now. I need get things dialed better in my grows. My room is pretty sealed off with not ventilation and I think that affects my yields. Maybe some filtered air exchange. Itβs a cold basement and canβt have too much exchange as the space heater already running too much.

I would suggest buying a grow tent or frame a small room in your basement.
Honestly, I could have just used my tent and stacked 66 qt tubs in it and just used the same forced intake/ passive exhaust. The tubs will generate heat and humidity and I wouldn't need the ultrasonic mist maker with that type of setup.

I have a room framed off itβs like 16x20. The heater keeps it around 73 just the rest the basement cold. Nice in the summer not so much winter

You can order a 4x8 tent for a few hundred dollars online. That would give you plenty of space to put your tubs. The 4x8 would fit in your 16x20 room and would be easier to dial in than the 16x20 room.

I set out on this grow log to grow dense af canopies. I feel like I have accomplished that. I also feel like I still have a lot to learn. I could be wrong and should just wait for the dry weight results. But at this point it is looking as though I will yield less from these last 6 tubs than some of the other sets of tubs that had less dense canopies but bigger, fleshier mushrooms. Anyone have a similar experience?

I decided to test one of my ess swabs. I used the zigzag technique to inoculate these on the 3rd. They took about 5 days to show signs of growth.

And beautiful growth at that. Gotta love when a germ plate looks so sexy from the getgo.

I haven't tried them yet so no report on potency. As far as yield though, I am averaging 1.3 oz per qt of spawn. I also love when picking them they don't take alot of substrate with them.

What determines if a spore will go crazy like that or have slower growth?

That is actually the result from making a zigzag pattern with a spore swab. Genetics and other factors such as nutrient to water ratio, how solid the agar is and ambient temperature can all play a role in the growth rate of the mycelium. The idea is to get fast uniform growth on agar before moving on to grain.

Awesome work! On your microwave, do you know the wattage? The microwave Iβd be using is 1300 so I might have to adjust power or time settings. Iβm digging the rice slurry and want to give it a shot when I get the chance.
