I think the spawn was probably the best I've ever had. Super clean looking and smelled amazing. I mist every other day so I try not to open the tubs for more than the time to mist but I also want pictures so I can keep track of which fruits I want to clone.

Great haul on this tub today!
4qt oats Coir Ez Dial Mono 1764 wet
My sub always turns blue with Melmac around time of harvest. Never happens with any other varieties I grow. Does this happen to anyone else?

So what's up with the cap color on my Melmac TP? They look like they are bruised. Slightly blue green color. Is this a bad sign of something? I know I have a few aborts that are still small. Maybe they got too warm out something.


I'm trying to get swabs off of these but I don't think they look ready yet. Am I correct in thinking I should wait. Is there a chance they won't produce spores?

Nice. This is my first run with macs so I'm back to being suspicious of everything that doesn't look normal to me. Thanks for helping me out.

Looks infected with a bit of bacteria or something. You shouldn't swab any of those IMO.

What makes you think that they are infected? Just curious cause I always like learning.

Well like you noticed the caps are all ugly and bruised looking.
The flush is sparse as possible without being a complete failure, the upside down bowling pin shape, it's all bad.

Oh. I was told that is how Melmac TP looked normally, other than cap color. I was also told the pin set looked good. The 2 big ones were just really early pins the rest came up over a week later and are still growing. I was told I was lucky to get it to pin so fast. It still smells good and no metabolites so I didn't think it was that bad. Huh, I guess I have more research to do on these and to look at what went wrong if that's the case. No swabs from this then. Hopefully my other tub does better so I can at least get a clone and swabs so I can share some spores with people.

Yea the tapering is pretty normal for Melmac it's the ugly cap that says bacteria to me.
FYI all caps grown in tubs will have a lot of bacteria on them, healthy one have say 50 million bacteria and an "infected" cap might have 100 million bacteria. Because the conditions allowed it to bloom.
I don't think there is anything to swab here anyway.
Hopefully those pins come up I figured they were all aborts. TP always does a even flush for me personally.

Doing MS grows I've only had 1 really even flush. I get better results with clone grows. This is a MS swab=> agar=> agar=> agar=> grain grow. I do have a few aborts which I just pulled to give way to new fruits and other larger fruits that the caps still look golden. I know most mushrooms have bacteria on them that stay in check as long as conditions don't favor them to get a good hold and grow. I think my tub got a little warmer than I like it too be because of forgetting to turn on AC one day so that could have been the cause. I truly appreciate the forwardness of telling me something is wrong with them. It solidified that I wasn't crazy for thinking so myself. I'm still very new at this and wanted a challenge. Melmac is a challenge for sure. At least I can say I did achieve a harvest and now I get to try them tonight.

Do the caps open more than this with Melmac tp? They been sitting a couple days and haven't opened anymore that I can notice. I'm trying to get swabs but I'm not sure if there are spores or not. I don't want to pull it to find out there are none and I should have waited. Also would it be a better swab if I spayed the outside of the cap with ISO before swabbing to kill whatever bacteria and such is on the outside of the cap first? I'm trying to make the cleanest swabs possible and don't care about sacrificing a cap or two.

I just noticed that a vendor that has all the Melmac strains/varieties/wtf-ever listed on the same page under 'PE Genetics' and most of them AND the PEs have ugly black tips similar to Bigworm's. I'm interested in the Melmac TP, also; although they have the 'Long Boys' on sale.

Hey sushi, I'm trying to get swabs to give some away really soon I hope. It would be domestic only though. If you're interested send me a pm and I'll get back to you when/if they are ready. I think the caps turned that color because the tubs were left in 100f for a couple hours. I moved them to a controlled environment and they have normal color caps. I removed the ugly ones.

Bigworm, those are beautiful!!
Now let me explain something. Please don't take offense to this. I keep stuff like this VERY anon. This is an anon account. I've been active on internet forums since 1999. I don't trust people, no-one.
Over the years, I've seen countless people get doxxed, swatted, and turned into law enforcement by people they thought they could trust.
While I think it's a beautiful thing the way that weed seed forums and shroom forums trade and share. I just can't participate in that. Over the past 23 years, I've seen too many people get fucked over by sharing their personal info: name, address, phone, address, employer, etc....
I don't mind paying for spores and shipping. It's the vendor business model to not dox their customers.
I have to stay anon. But thanks much for the offer!!

I understand 100%. I get nervous about info sharing when trading too. It was an offer and you aren't required to take it. That's how offers go sometimes. I respect your right to be anon and would never take offense to someone saying no to an offer. Hopefully I'm not sounding condensing cause I'm not trying to. Thank you for the compliment about the shrooms.

Who said you shouldn't clone a clone? I had a Melmac Revert culture that produced mostly blobs, huge blobs, like twisted fruits. And I cloned the first normal looking fruit that popped up and this is the result.

Those are awesome fruits man! Nice pinset too. I have some Melmac TP and 118 in shoeboxes, mini monos, and bags. Do you know how long from spawn to harvest on that tub? I've read some people waiting 30+ days just for TP to pin.
