indeed. there seems to be a considerable dialectic concerning standard operating procedure and its application to different "lines" of semp.
hopefully we can narrow down the source of some of this obfuscation. It would be nice to be able to provide a comprehensive approach for people who want to spend minimal money.
or, this is just the way things are. only time and solid testing will tell.

I just add extra dry verm if it's too wet. Screw all that squeezing.

I wouldn't overthink them too much. I mean, they do grow on mold. :lol:

I've noticed little, if any difference between lines and conditions. There is some difference between culture lines. Meaning that there are morphological tendencies, like Hindsight culture almost always wants to up curl the caps into a sort of reverse sectoid. It's also faster than most. While Rockins Bell Caps are more like the old school lineage where some of the caps upturn, but never to the degree the HSC does.. even in the same conditions. On average they've been a little slower for me as well. I've had them side by side in tubs and the grow tent and they've stayed consistent. Both put out heavy canopies but Bell Caps tend to be larger for me. Loving that culture btw. :rockon:
I under estimated the last jar of Bell Caps and it took a few more days than expected to really drop spores. Which is fine being I actually have the time to deal with them today lol.
Here's the last pics from this flush.. this time.




Second flush from the first contaminated jar..

I'm not even sure the different casing layers make much difference honestly. Being both of these jars are contaminated they don't really qualify as an experiment in that respect. More curled caps with this flush though still not as much as I get with HSC.
Both are fine cultures and I grow both so I'm not knocking HSC by any means.. but Bell Caps are the shiz.

I was wondering if anyone managed to get them to grow out. This is the first report I've heard about my bellcap prints. Glad to hear they doing good.

There's a few people having results around here. I'm not sure if anyone has had the original Bell Cap look, but this is from the first of a few isolates I'm going to be checking out eventually. Might get them yet. :thumbup:

Do you remember if that look held up through later flushes? There's a little morphological difference with this isolate.

Thanks again!

Also, did the grain turn blue after shaking at all?

All my semp jars turn dark dark blue shortly after shaking.

Not sure if this is the consensus...


Mine don't.

When you guys pasteurize are you letting the sub sit for a few days after so the microbes can repopulate it?? I never do but that would prob help.



I've done both and never noticed a difference.

RockinRobot said:
Why all this talk of pasteurization? Who bothers pasteurizing sub for Semps. Semps just need bucket tek coir. Only the casing needs pasteurized.


It could depend on the coir brand you get. I never managed to fruit anything with the bucket tek coir - but that was 8 years ago.
Maybe I could give it another try with the new brand I'm working with (I can't get Coco Bliss here).

Yes, I was told this. Nichrome and Mojave also advised me to run it dry so I will do so. I didn’t realize the excess moisture was that deterministic with semperviva.


I confirm that it is. But then you have milkboy who comes in and rub our noses in it telling us that he doesn't adjust his coir and doesn't case and does bucket tek and gets great results (and good on him!) :rofl:

To me MojaveMyc summed it up the best:

MojaveMyc said:
They’ll put up with a lot. Just keep growing them until you find something that likes the way you do things


In your case fiddy, I'd extend pasteurization time and then squeeze the fuck out of your coir before spawning it.
And if you have resources and time I'd also try the bucket tek, and then squeeze the fuck out of your coir before spawning it.

We can see from this thread that there isn't just one sure way of growing Semp - so I prefer to say that "this hasn't worked for me" rather than "this doesn't work".


Hey, I have had my fair share of shitty semp grows.

Pics in sig were taken at harvest so that's how they finished. You can check my journal for pics as they matured.

Checked your journal, very nice. I haven’t had caps like that yet, needed a visual reference for a bell cap.

Someone else on this thread named them Bell Caps, after I posted pics, and the name stuck.
