OFFICIAL TIDAL WAVE (B+ x Penis Envy by MagicMyco) Collection Thread 8

LET'S GET A THREAD GOING BY SHARING YOUR TIDAL WAVE GROW
For the ones who want to participate, please respond and create a post, and update your post and add photos and information as your project progress. A menu with links to each grow will be created once there are more participants.
MY IMPRESSION OF TIDAL WAVE CUBENSIS:
Just finished my first ever crop of Tidal Wave, and I am thoroughly impressed by its robust genetics. Very rhizomorphic growth on agar by 2nd transfer, and every agar plate I have pinned.
Mycelium ate through CVG in record time, pinned, and matured about a week after full colonization, every fruit is meaty with solid stems. Caps didn't fully extend, I wonder if the phenotype has stronger PE traits, some fruits I got look like a short version of Melmak. Despite its PE-looking cap that never fully extends, they drop spores like other cubes I've grown.
These are strong AF, I am on SSRI, so it takes much more for me to trip properly, and I was shocked how hard I tripped on just 2.5g, the same or stronger effect from eating 6g of other cubes.
This is the first time I harvested more than 1oz per myco-quart of spawn (1.77oz per 1.5qt spawn).
Harvested 51g dry first flush, 28g dry second flush, from:
- 1.5 myco-qt of rye spawned to 1:2 ratio CVG
- Half-inch CVG pseudo-casing; all layers with CVG are packed down.
- Late cased with half-inch of peat/verm real casing layer.
FULL PHOTO GALLERY OF THIS TIDAL WAVE GROW
First vs Second Flush: 2nd flush lost majority of PE traits with larger caps, thinner/hollower stipe, makes me sad I didn't not collect some spores or tissues for cloning, had no idea they would "change for the worst" by second flush....Luckily, potency remains the same, easily 2x as strong as the "average" stuff I have from previous grows.
  
FIRST FLUSH = 51g Dry
   
  
   
  
SECOND FLUSH = 28g Dry

Beautiful fruits, I hope to join in one day. Happens to be genetics I don't have yet. How do they do without a casing layer?

Currently have several agar plates and 2 jars of grain going. Fully agree about this being among the most vigorous of genetics I have as well. Very fast growth. I hope I am able to get fruits that look as good as yours!

Nice fruits! I just put some TW spores on agar yesterday so as soon as I get some nice myc I'll be posting the the progress here 😁

Oh nice to see some real Fruits I have also just started these
I’m also trying to fruit these three different ways just to see what happens


Have you been able to test potency yet ??

Thanks for posting this. You've got some very pretty fruits there. About a week ago I was looking for pics of tidal wave grows and could hardly find any. Lots of brain and blob pics, but very few normal-looking grows. Looking forward to cultivating this one some day.

it's my first time doing Tidal Wave, since it's got PE genetics, I decided to case it, not sure how it will perform without it.

I've seen a few different kinds of Tidal Waves, I gotta say I am lucky to get the phenotype I got. I'd be disappointed if they got a skinny stipe and large-cap....

Hey all, I have no experience with this variety apart from a high level understanding of what the cross is and the fact that Enigma is a mutation that arose from this variety. I assume that info is still reasonable accurate?
Since Tidal Wave is a cross between B+ and PE, I was curious what would happen if some other cultivator happens to try crossing those same two varieties manually. My assumption is that this would not immediately lead to Tidal Wave since this would be effectively rolling the genetic dice, but how likely would it be for someone to "stumble" upon Tidal Wave manually by crossing the two parents, and how would you know you have achieved this as opposed to some other cube cross? My intuition says there would be no real way of knowing.

Enigma is a mutation from Tidal Wave/Eclipse. Both are B+ and PE hybrid, but Tidal Wave is more stable, whereas Eclipse is less stable.
Anyone can create a new variety with B+ and PE. Theoretically, it is possible to come across another phenotype similar to Tidal Wave, but it's going to take a lot of work.
There are other projects involving PE and B+, but they all have different names since it's coming from different cultivators.

agreed. I've gone through about 10 varieties now, Tidal Wave is the only one I know for sure I will continue to work with and try to find a master culture to keep around.

Well it looks like I crapped out on genetics there closer to the penis envy than the big fat mushrooms you got
I’ll probably let these grow out then go back to the ALT#7
