I appreciate your rambling! The cloud watching is now on my bucket list. The auditory stuff I got personally was weird. On the comeup I was getting a whole bunch of typical repetitive robotic noises like sirens and a lot of other stuff I cannot pin point now. The setting i did them in was very weird in itself anyhow so I look forward to do over 2g (1,6 last time) somewhere nice. Even outside which for now in scandinavia was a no no.
My cyans got me seeing yellow greenish. I have the original print of the ttbvi so it would be fun to share both the original culture and the one I manipulated to see if others sense the huge difference as well.
Shutting up before self banning again 😝🤐

TTBVI will do this to me in VERY high doses, like straight out android voices-like auditory hallucinations. Lots of electric blue and radiant silver hues coming in by the millions per second. Unlike other pan varieties, you gotta tune them down or else they become unbearable lol


They're extremely powerful little guys. The less the better


ps,
Absolutely NOT a typical dose, i promise

I think I haven’t figured out how to read the myc yet. It will not give up its secrets to me!

Sometimes, depending on the weather and environment, a couple of mother plates can come in handy... Give them a week before you get the first transfer and from there you'll know. Anything that looks healthy and moving VERY fast. Keep in mind some pan varieties like TTBVI can fluff up like cloud, nothing wrong with it. Get 3 or 4 transfers from the same mother plate. Fast and vigorous is what you want.

How's your agar recipe btw? 0.5% work wonders for mycelium readers

Aquaneat.  Been thinking about getting new ones tho.  Or a single 4 port.  The fittings aren’t great and tend to vibrate themselves off which should give you an idea for how loud they are.  They’re not like SUPER loud but I feel like there’s quieter ones out there.  They were just cheap buys off the zon.  I didn’t know if I was going to fail miserably at pans so I wanted to keep the start up costs as low as possible lol

But I’m ready to upgrade if you or anyone has a suggestion for a 4 port that you can barely hear and doesn’t make the hoses fall off lol

I appreciate the input!  I think I’m going to give this a try.. everyone says it’s super quiet and I like the fittings and control valves.

I’ll let you guys know how it goes

I think I'll try this pump, too. I've never used a jcm before but I have all the stuff to build
one. Want to try for zaps and semps. Are you using this for those species as well?

(I want to keep the tent for pans though)

Haven’t tried zaps yet.  That’s gonna be a fall project.  When I first set up my jcm, I didn’t have pans ready for testing it out so I put the first semp Tupperware in it.. that was a bad test run tho because I figured later that the peat I was using had gone bad in some way and the semp myc avoided it like the plague.  It was also before I started using a drip shield so the semp sub got soaked the whole time.. wasn’t a great test run all in all.  The Tupperware is also really tall so there was barely any headroom. 

Although, semps didn’t seem to mind the wetness and from what I hear zaps kind of require it so I think they’d do great in a jcm.  Probably lower the temp (I’m keeping mine at 84F for pans).. that’s probably help a bit with dampness some.  All that’s to say, I think you should give it a shot

Can I derail this pumped conversation to shit?
QQ:From what I understood, fresh Hpoo is ill-advised on account of high ammonia content tho the high nitrogen seems welcomed; is there any way of neutralising ammonia that doesn't involve weeks?
