The slow growth must be those PE genes coming out. They certainly look like a PE derivative.

Your substrate surface is looking dry to me. That could just be my eyesight but if it is, mist from above the surface as needed.

I just finished the exact same strain. Still learning the ropes but I have discovered if one doesn't cut corners and has patience, TW is remarkably persistent and resilient.

Thanks for the concern about dry sub. I found that anytime I post a pic of my grows everybody says it looks dry. I can assure you that it’s not dry and I make sure to mist when needed. The grow light I have above the tubs and my fish tank casts a yellow tint on everything making it look dry. They are also in my temp and humidity controlled room so am able to monitor it and keep it stable for growing parameters.

The thing is that relative humidity in the room is just about irrelevant to the state of the substrate surface. That's the only place, in practical terms, where moisture, or lack of it counts.
Please ignore any hygrometers or other indicators of relative humidity. Use your eyes and also listen to what the mushrooms are telling you, if that makes sense?
Are you misting the tub walls, or from above the substrate as needed?

I totally understand what you’re saying. The reason why hydrometers are frowned upon in this hobby is because total noobs base their whole grow upon something relatively inaccurate instead of paying attention to the organism itself. I’m not new to growing mushrooms themselves but have only been growing this variety for a couple of months. I have a very accurate setup in the room because I have thousands of dollars worth of tarantulas and plants that share the room with the mushrooms. I like to have it that way because a lot of the species require a certain climate in order to survive similar to mushrooms. I appreciate the simplicity of growing mushrooms though! You are able to read a mushroom so much easier than a lot of other things.
For the misting I tend to mist it however it’s needed. Most of the time I do not mist the walls or the top because of the moisture it holds. And for the surface of the sub I mist when needed or when it tells me it’s thirsty so to speak. I check the surface of the sub multiple times a day and make sure that the mycelium has that sparkly look from all the tiny droplets of water. Also making sure not to over do it because matted mycelium is a bitch and a sure fire way to ruin a grow. In my experience with growing mushrooms it is better to have it on the “drier” side than soaking wet 24/7. Hell I’ve had grows that I never had to touch.

Also I feel RH does make a bit of a difference because it affects how quickly evaporation happens and how well the sub holds the moisture. Too quick and no bueno! But you also don’t want anything to be swimming either.
However for beginners RH should not be relied upon because like you said it is mostly irrelevant to the surface of the sub.
In fact that pic was taken right after a good misting!

the slow growth has to be the worst part and if i find something to reproduce the same effects but at a faster growth rate, i may just ditch TW and leave it in the library.

If conditions are right, then you shouldn't need to mist at all until around the time of the first harvest. Of course if there is too much air, then the substrate surface will dry out, but there should be no need to mist often, if at all generally.

I feel ya! It’s not quite as slow as my ApeR going rn but the controversial z-strain I have going has flushed 2 times in the time it has taken the tw to even start showing pins. It will probably be 3-4 harvests for the tw’s 1. I tell you what it better shoot me into outer space otherwise my focus may go elsewhere.

I'm starting to lean your way, my tw tub had a nice canopy and good yield, but the fruits were very small, thin and TBH looked just like B+. The second flush isn't looking too promising so far. I have another tub getting ready to pin so we'll see what comes of it. As a strain, Tidal wave does not seem stabilized at all. So far I am not overly impressed with the potency either. Once my next tub and the grains I have colonizing are done I am going to concentrate more on the PE6 I have on agar at the moment. Those I know are very potent and worth the wait.

i feel you, i have lots of other stuff in the works on agar that i plan on fruiting out to find goodies and to get prints to give back out. I did do an experiment of cold pasteurized straw and LC of TW in a milk crate outside with a plastic bag.

Well my ApeR is gaining speed on the tw and seems to be isolated a whole lot better from the start. It was slow to start with but now that pins are showing up seems to be taking off. The tw I have is a mutant. 50/50 normal growth to blobs and aliens. And that’s even with a thick pseudo casing. I’ve been very impressed with the freebie ApeR lc I got! Thinking I may just focus on cloning and isolating the ApeR and use the tw for bulk.
As for the potency of this tw seems to be a little stronger than some but haven’t had enough experience with it to make a decision. 1 gram had me feeling amazing! Not too visual but extremely euphoric, introspective and an amazing body high. Will probably just use it for my micro dose regiment and if the ApeR is as potent as they say, use that for journeys. I’ll add some pics later.

I see too much need focus as not knock anything over having to pick up and lace back to what morning and late night bathroom hygiene duties call upon. The mouthwash need slide into position slot at perfect procedure as to not knock anything over and to be slid back into resting position with perfect execution as to not knock over anything.
Can you not hang some shelfs or racks off to the Side of sink on the wall, or something to make not such a clutter mess?
Just saying, seems bit of cluster excessive mess that probably has the mental mind by the throat a bit.
I say this with best of interest.

not everyone is the same, what brings you comfort may not bring others.
the way they do things may be fine for them but it seems to bug you, that seems like a you thing not a their bathroom thing.

Yeah, I know, just saying, there are three toothpaste tube boxes stacked to the left.
Obsessive Compulsive.
Could you image being blown away on mushroom trip, behind all them colors and trying to make use to that sink? I’d be like Godzilla to buildings and be throwing that stuff all over.

Why are you on here hijacking the thread with stuff that’s none of your business? Live your life how you want to and keep your business to yourself. It must be exhausting constantly not minding your own and criticizing others 😥
