This is great news, do you mind sharing your wheat prep?

Here's a grow log where someone used black cow straight out of the bag. I've been thinking this stuff was already heat treated, and I think I just messed a batch up by trying to he treat it and lost a few grows because of it.

I have some projects on plates, after they colonize some jars I will give it a try as I already have a bag and a half here.

So what amount of fresh Burringbar have you guys tried? I have a window to journey tomorrow. The wife and kid went on vacation for a few days, just a couple of cats around.

Torn between Bbar fresh or some dry subtrops which I haven't tried yet either

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 cannot imagine more 1g of my TTBVI.  0.68g was the bomb.  The 1g was awesome, but can't imagine going higher.  My body was gone.  I could not tell if I was breathing.  Tried to die during that experience, as in give my life for the world.  Tried to let myself be eaten my others....not that there were distinct entities.  Needless to say, I did not die.  I was fused in a symbiotic relationship with the mushroom and asserted myself as an entity................crazy, crazy stuff.

Going to do 500mg next time.  I think less is more.  I think you are right.

99.99 uses black kow straight from the bag for all of their mexicana grows.

Just touching on the contamination you were experiencing. Was that with grass cased substrates by any chance? I'm asking because I spawned a few different semilanceata substrates lately and am contemplating whether to sow grass seed or not. I am unsure cause the seeds I have are 3+ years old now and I am thinking that they will have lost quite a bit of viability and non germinating seeds would be a contam vector. They still work great and I do use them on the outdoor subs but it's a fact that the older they get the more will have lost the spark to grow.

---

Nah, I have clear trays and I keep an eye on them. The trich wasn't even on the surface yet when I tossed this one.  Spawned with the same batch of over pasteurized black kow the chlorocystis was.  And I had some of that leftover on my shelf, the black cow that I had pasteurized. It had mold in it and smelled like ammonia.



Here's the trich in this second picture.  Floated the sub to harvest.




So it's both the grass and not the grass. And I've been using grass for close to a year now.  If seeds don't germinate, the mycelium just eats them.

Here's some actual nats not ochra, same grass but the black kow was sterilized.  I tried to put some ungerminated grass in the center of the picture, so you can see how the mycelium even of this slower species ate the seeds.



Edit:  grass germinates pretty quick, you could test it and if it doesn't get a good germination rate, yeah it might be better not to use. If you use too much it definitely invites competition in the casing because of the microclimate.  In which case I usually have to dial the misting way back and up the fresh air exchange to compensate. The trays usually recover though.

Do you guys change your water in your jcm or do anything special if you end up with green mold in there? I have a couple pf tek cakes that I'd like to use as a test run while I wait for my aio jars to colonize, but tubs of that strain have been throwing green. I'd love to get a clean clone but I'm not sure if it's worth the trouble.

Avid jcm user here

I change the water every grow and so basically once every 6 weeks? I keep the tubs empty and all the air stones, heaters, hoses, etc nicely cleaned, dry and wrapped in a towel placed inside of it whenever its not running. Bacteria loves standing water, particularly serratia marcescens. Having both asthma and OCD (the germophobe kind) makes a killer combo to keep everything sparkling clean and tidy

Ahh   Thanks

Speaking of sisters in mycelium, fruiting some new sisters.  Pan Chlorocystis.




The white one seems to be at full maturity, so I'm not really sure when to try to print them or if they are wanting more air to open up.

At least in my tent, they have a stipe and cap shape similar to cyans.  Stipe coloration is also more similar to cyans, and cap color bisporus.
