What are the ideal fruiting conditions for Psilocybe Mexicana? I can't really find any specifics on what the rh should be and how much fresh air they prefer. Should they be fruited in conditions similar to panaeolus species or do they perform better in conditions similar to cubes? Or somewhere in the middle?


same as cubes


Thanks. Maybe I'll try a Mexicana monotub in addition to some trays in a greenhouse. See how they compare.

Anyone have any idea why my millet refuses to colonize? Even when it’s mixed in with WBS?

Maybe somehow just the millet is bacterial or maybe the millet isn't hydrated for some reason.

I keep thinking it’s gotta be a hydration issue. My jars of straight millet are super slow. Some are on week 4 and only 20% colonized. But the difference between burst grains and clumps is less than 15 minutes in a hot soak? Millet might not be worth the trouble anymore

What are some good harvest indicators? Many of the caps have already opened but they appear to still be growing little by little and the stipes are still firm….

When can I tell when there OVERLY done?

Should I be looking for that marshmallow feel on the stipe. i would love some experienced input. Thanks!!!

It took me a bit to figure out the right moisture content with millet.

My no fail tek is rinse and soak overnight.  Dump in boiling water.  Turn off burner.  Place lid on when it won't cause it to boil over.  Soak fifteen minutes.

Strain and dry until very very dry on the outside.  PC as usual.  Generally takes two to six hours to dry in front of a fan.

But the 18-24 soak, strain 30-60 minutes works well too.  Load wet no boil.

Anyway, I like my millet just under the point it creates burst grains and clumping.  A few might burst on top but if they don't clump it's fine.

Running enoki now that colonizes in a week from lc or a few days from g2g.

Here's some pictures.  I think all of this millet will run fine.  First jar is enoki, second a fresh jar from my no fail prep that helped me find the right moisture content, and the final jar is the soak load wet jar, still distributing moisture after being pcd yesterday.  I'll give it a good shake or two and it will run fine.

Pretty sure thats just what colonized ebs looks like. My successful jars have always had millet visible around the jar at gull colonization. Doesnt seem to be a problem.

wooo good you mention that, cause today i pimped my sab, because of the rate your sab thread. Part of the pimp is including a LED stripe. I just measured the temperature around the LEDs and it's fucking 10°C more than in the rest of the box. Even knowing about that difference i would never assume to have meaningful currents from that. Tomorrow i'll put it on the outside, is that acceptable or still creating too much temperature differences?
Thank you for claryfing that, before i run into a series of mysterious contams.

I’ve tried I think 4 methods with almost identical results. This wbs and the straight millet I have going right was a 45/45 hot soak/drain and 2 hour pc. Loaded moist.

They came out looking great. No clumps, only a few burst grain. An hour hot soak and they burst and clump. They’re all clean and they all WORK, but man is it slow.

I'm not sure if my grains come out perfect but I've had success with a 24 hour soak with the water starting out hot(like pasturization temperature or scolding hot tap water) and then I rinse them after 24 hours with cold tap water and let them sit in a bucket to dry(stiring occasionaly). The drying takes a while without the simmer at the end but they seem to take on a little more water in the process. My 2 cents.

Quick question: finally getting around to a permanent/less fickle solution for my lids instead of these guys so I bought SFDs. On the SFDs there's a fluffy side and a "matted" side - which side goes up when siliconing to the lid?

I think air will pass through both ways.

So I would put the matted side down so the silicone sticks better.  I also sanded my lids to give them some grip.  Kinda a pain in the ass tbh.

The discs I have I think would fit inside a grey plastic lid without needing to be siliconed in place.  Just put it between the jar and the lid.

I haven't tried it yet but I think it will work with my discs.  Maybe it would for yours too.

Hmm, I thought the slicker side up to get the most benefit from blocking moisture. That is how I do it and never use foil. Are you gluing it on with RTV over a drilled hole?

Edit: reread Tree frogs post. If you are using the whole sfd under the lid, I would do it slick side towards the grain.

See what happens when I read and answer quick?

so far i do it with the lamp of mobile plus ambient light from floor lamps, which works. Daylight is not possible cause it's a small space i seperated and hung up cloths to prevent moving air, it's quite cozy. LEDs would be a nice to have thing. I would post pictures but i used up my volume already given to the lack of knowledge how to resize pictures, now i know :rolleyes: Next week then :laugh:

Guys, wanna see how I wasted an hour of my life?

Fuck you, millet.









Now I can experiment with the millet and make some absolutely banging grain spawn with the leftovers.
