Assuming all growing procedures and equipment are the same, could one person yield better results than another person simply due to the climate in and around their home? For example, person A does the exact same thing as person B, they are next door neighbors, but person A somehow gets different/better results. Not just referring to temperature & humidity, but things like construction materials, building tightness envelope, etc.

I'm just curious about the individuality of all the grows I've read about here. Some folks have experimented, done trial-and-error, and tinkered with their methodology so much that it seems like what might work for someone genuinely might not be the best method for another person. Pretty interesting to think about that there's no one "best" way to do things, but it depends upon the local and regional environments.

I had a tub get trich and didn't notice while I was harvesting. It was the 3rd flush so I just thought it was the discolored stumps for a few minutes until I saw a fruit was hollow and completely black on the inside. The outside looked totally normal. The one next to it was a bit mushy but that was what I was waiting for, soft stipes to know they were ready for harvest. Then I noticed I was harvesting from the trich epicenter. Are mushrooms from a trich laden part of a substrate ok to eat?

I'd just like to reiterate this question as I have a similar kind of situation going on right now. Anybody?
What I ended up doing was just cut the mushy part off and any dark mush/slime that was there. The fruits look normal and healthy except for the part that was cut off. I feel like if it looks and smells ok, its ok to eat. As far as cubes go at least.

So I UTFSB which I should have done in the first place. What I could find was they are fine to eat. Even though they are growing in trich they do not absorb any harmful substance except heavy metals which aren't in trich. So unless we have heavy metals in the sub with trich, we should be good to go. The only way they should not be eaten is if they are rotten. No examples of rotten mushrooms in those threads I found about eating shrooms from contaminated tubs so I'm not sure if what I have is considered rotten. I don't have pics of it anyway just what I have in my head. All of this information I found was many years old so I don't know if it changed since then. I'm going to try mine and if I get the shits from them, I know for next time to toss them out.

Doesn’t look like it’s wanting to colonize the millet for some reason. This is WBS right? Fundamentally nats don’t require vastly different growing conditions than cubes.
If I was a betting man I’d say it’s bac

Can someone explain this?
I had two distinct growths from this plate (top center), and I transferred the fastest growing myc (8 o'clock)


At first I thought I had a contam on the transfer


A few days later though, I see the same growth pattern as the original plate


Is this because I don't have an isolated strain yet, contam or what?

I will be tossing any shrooms that are growing directly on trich from now on. I already have slight allergic reactions to shrooms such as mild itching, but swelling, sweating, severe itching, muscle spasms, fever, and diarrhea are not fun while having a high level 3 to a level 4 trip. I am not sure but I'm thinking they were starting to rot from the inside. They must have been bacterial in some way to feel like I had food poisoning. My hands/feet felt like they were going to pop from the swelling about 3 hours into the trip. Other than all that they worked, and I had a great time. I already tossed the rest of that flush.

Yuck! Sorry to hear all that. Stay safe.

What the hell? How do you take pics without the damn black plates turning into mirrors? Those pics are amazing!

The AC is a powder and probably diffuses light better than the ones made with liquid coloring. My uncolored lme plates are pretty damn shiny but not when I add molasses and yeast powder.

I use charcoal.. What do you mean with AC?
