Got a strain question...

Was going to purchase some albino Tidalwave swabs for a breeding project, but I happened to find out my "Stormtrooper" swab I got a few months back is actually an albino TW selection. Tried to look up info on whether it's a true albino or some sort of TAT or APE cross, but the person who did the iso for stormtrooper is no longer with us (rip) and it seems all their socials/site data is gone.

Anyone know if ST is a true TW albino or was it mixed with something to make it albino?

Fairly sure it was an albino TW mutation that whoever the person was had worked on. The only info I recall reading about it was when he/she did the giveaway and included a little origin story. Wasn't it Gorguss? Have to keep searching... Either way it's definitely a true albino. Purdy too. Never been able to bring it to fruit yet. Last box went months in fruiting and did nothing. Was weird.

Thnx for the clarification, think it was the dude @ dirty south myco... or at least that's the furthest back person I could find connected to the strain before the trail went cold :shrug:

Yeah I remember that the guy on here who did the swab giveaway on here years ago said he was the breeder and gave photos of its progenitor(s). I swear that was Gorguss. Too bad it isn't an existing post.

Yeah, that's the only downside to marketplace posts...

The archivist in me was like :oldman:

:oldman:

when I found those posts were regularly deleted - started saving pics and posts from giveaways for my records...

*Edit: Found the guy's old reddit account, scrolled back to find a 3-4 year old post showing the first albino revert from a TW2 "enigma" culture - very cool the info is still out there to find :cool:

I'm using Pasty EZ dial monotubs. I live in a really warm dry environment. I've had issues with my substrate drying up and now having to mist during fruiting. Would it behove me to cover all the "substrate level" holes during colonization to preserve moisture in the tub till I open it up more for FAE. I know we introduce fruiting conditions and colonization conditions at the same time.. I'm just trying to figure out how to conserve water and not have to mist...?

I just seen your thread you're also spawning 4qts of spawn to 16 QTS of coir , try like 8.

1:2 really? I see a lot of recommendations for 1:4. Or is that due to my climate and/or inexperience? :smile:

In a paper bag, as long as you want. But they start hardening, shrinking from dessication after a couple weeks. Still fine for tea.

Hi, all

Is it about time to harvest this? The veil partially broke a few hours ago.

you could harvest it now, or later.

edit: the cake looks really dry, what kind of setup are you using?

as long as they haven't sat out for an extended time prior, aren't incredibly bruised, and have no blotch, they will last. brown paper bag is the way to go as per ladysknight

edit: i try to use them asap. additionally i would monitor their entropy every 24hrs.

you'll develop an intuition for it as time goes by. the key is change one variable at a time. ideally you wouldn't change anything.

Thanks fiddle,

I'm using PF Tek, fruited in Mateja's Water Tub in CBK's bottom watering dishes (but I haven't added any water to the dishes at all yet). The rh is consistently around 91, 75f ish.

When this picture was taken, I hadn't misted in about 6 hrs. I

I thought I was overhydrating! Because of the fuzzy myc on the stems, and some of the other cakes' pins seem to be very dark and developing slowly.

(edit) Attached are some pics of other cakes. The second picture, the pin in the centre is what i mean by the dark and slowly developing pins.

those will just be aborts. how many cakes do you have? a water tub is good but I like ziplocks now for cakes, especially if they are few.

Thanks. I've got 4 cakes in 2 water tubs currently, and 8 more PF jars about 70-90% colonised.

I only have one spare tub, for a total of 3 potential water tubs.
Would you recommend the ziploc method for the next 8? I'm not sure how many cakes to place in one tub.

Regarding the hydration, would you still think the sub is too dry? I mist once heavily in the morning (10 am), with two moderate mists between then and midnight, when I then mist heavily before going to bed.

you shouldn't need to be misting much at all if any. the water tub should provide all the moisture needed to maintain surface conditions. you want to monitor the surface conditions of the cake rather then the humidity and temperature, its less important. it's common practice to squeeze as many in there as you can. put them all in one if you can. it works on a similar principle to a refrigerator. do you have a picture of the water tub in question?

Use a finer grade vermiculite to roll in next time and roll dry leave for half the day n mist the fuck out of it
