Speaking of funky looking bispo plates, check this one out:



This is from a clone. Probably a T1 or T2 I forget, but I took a few clones from my good bispo trays and this culture always turns yellowish and gets really thick in the middle. I haven't seen this before other than maybe pan cyans on really high-nute agar but this is not a high nute agar plate. It IS MEA though, which I reverted to for a batch of fresh plates out of laziness because I ran out of grain water and didn't want to cook more. So I don't know if it is the agar or the culture but probably the culture because another bispo clone on MEA is not doing the same thing. I'm sending it to grain just to see what happens. Also sending a more normal looking bispo clone culture to grain at the same time.

I just cooked up a batch of sub for some jars that are coming ready. Some are for my first bispo clones and am hoping to get a nice canopy out of them. Also hope to start my outdoor beds now that it seems warm enough. I'm trying a new sub material this time - instead of straw I'm using shredded hemp at VL's suggestion. It has no seeds. It's interesting stuff.... feels and looks more like finely shredded wood chips than straw so it will be interesting to see how the pans and bispos like it. I know that the mycelium like cellulose and some amount of nitrogen, and both straw and hemp stalks would have this, so it will come down to whether the pans like the denser chips. The mixture looks plenty fluffy to me, though not as fluffy as straw. I went with a 1:2:1 ratio of hemp:verm:manure. I think I read that Adas has grown pans on wood chips and HWFP before so I don't see why the hemp wouldn't work well.

I'll be sure to post the results.

Hey Hindsight, where did you source the shredded hemp from? I have also been curious on how it would preform. Keep us posted.

Why use the punch if you still have to sterilize a blade? I'm guessing that's probably why you don't use it lol I was thinking of making one but now idk. The uniform hole looks nice tho, I like me a good hole.
