It just me or do these not look special or distinct in any way? Looks like Joe Shroom to me.
Got ~10 tubs going, spawned around 9-1. Hoping to update with some much more scrumptious photos in the near future.
Using two different TW multispore syringes from a board vendor ultimately produced fruits where maybe 30% had strong physical characteristics of TW… short,thick, dark wavy caps. The other 70% looked like those. That was across 10 shoeboxes with 4-5 flushes each. Im working on clones to achieve consistency with their appearance.. it might just be a more unstable variety IME
Have you gotten the opportunity to bioassay any? Im curious as to how they compare with Penis Envy. If theyre even a bit less potent Ill likely cease growing them. Havent had any free time recently to dose myself.
I haven't yet but likely will get around to it. I had too many and ended up powdering the fruits and now I've got 2qt of dried material so may as well test it lol

Just about to dehydrate my first ever tidal wave flush

Some info on the grow:
Obtained LC from 'sporespecs' -> Wheat grain -> Unmodified shoebox
Inoculated 2 spawn jars, growth rate was slow compared to GTs, and even compared to APE. Here is a side by side pic of TW vs APE inoculated at the same time. Picture probably ~5 days post-inoculation.

Slow but looked healthy enough, oh well, patience is a virtue 
One jar was spawned at 1:2.5 ratio with pseudocasing at spawn, the other spawned at 1:1.5 with an extra layer of grain + pseudocasing (so 1:1.5 mixed, then a layer of spawn on top, followed by a thin top layer of coir). I had been reading about this lasagna method producing thick even canopies and wanted to give it a shot.
The 1:2.5 tub produced a more even pinset than the 1:1.15 layered tub, and in a shorter time.
Here is the progression of the 1:2.5 tub.

This is the 1:1.5 tub today, lagging by quite a bit.
 Although, as well as the layering method it also had a lower sub ratio, and the tub itself is different, so could just be caused by FAE and moisture differences.
Overall pretty happy with the culture, produced a few wavy bois and a few chonky bois

Going to give them a few hours for the smaller ones to open up a bit before harvesting!
Very interesting how the phenotype varies so much between individual mushrooms. Even though that chonky one was one of the first pins, the cap still hasn't really opened up, and I can see it has super short gills and the veil doesn't seem to want to break. There's only a couple like this in the tub that are quite PE-like, then there's few wavy ones and a lot of 'normal' ones. Can't be sure if it is environmental or genetic.

My tub finally started showing a bit of life yesterday. Pretty happy about that.
Do Tidals drop their spores? Just curious, as I’ve got a few that are forming well ahead of the rest of the pin set.

Darn, yeah, that's a tough one... if only there were some magical place on the interwebs with step by step instructions on how to grow, where everything's blue and people secretly give away Tidal Wave prints in a secret marketplace... 
For real though, I'd check out the hitchhiker's guide to read up on current cultivation practices. I recommend starting by building a still air box and learning agar, even if you think it's too hard.
Sporeworks has some tidal wave syringes by the way

Put up a couple shoeboxes of TW. Here is one tub before 1st harvest. Might have been a bit early, but they were starting to get a soft. Very potent! Dried them and then tried one slice from the bottom of the biggest cluster. About the size of a half dollar and twice as thick. Put me on my lips!
