My first semp jar. Opinions? I shook it at roughly 30% on 4/29 and it's nearing full colonization. I'd love to believe it's just fast on grain, but I dont trust it...

I was concerned about a mix up so I was triple checking every step along the way. I am 99.9% certain that they are each correctly labeled. I am human, so there is a nonzero chance that I made a mistake, but I genuinely can't see how. So I am now thinking that it is much more environmental than differences in lineage.

Up until now, that "fast" line from Melgo was usually faster to knot, pin and mature. I say usually, because there was still a range of time for each stage.

And the "slow" line from Hindsight has been extremely slow for me each time I ran it, but that has only been a few runs, I admit.

The middle line is the bell cap from RockinRobot and it has generally run slower than the Melgo but never taken as long as the Hindsight.

But this is the first time that I ran them all at the same time using the same materials and environment every step of the way. One test is certainly not conclusive, but given how close they are with all other things being equal I am going to stop calling them fast, slow and slower.

Still waiting for 100 days to compare total actives between each line and their myceliated grains. That was the real experiment in any case, but since I had all three lines ready I wanted to give them each a try to compare.

Fast and slow lines held up for me,  but I’ve only run the slow once so far.

Aside from pinning speed the biggest difference is the slow ones have huge caps compared to what I’ve always gotten from the faster ones.

Now that you point it out, the "slow" ones do have much larger caps than the "fast" ones. Just funny that they are all pinning and maturing an nearly the same speed with a slight advantage to the slow line.


This morning 2 days later

I like that there is a difference in the colors and pheno as well. The fast always seem to curl up even when they do get misted. The bell cap try to stay more domed if they get enough humidity/mist and have more striated caps (is striated the right word for the radial lines?). The slow caps are larger and some have that beautiful two tone color like the ones in the back.

Whilst I couldn't even tell ya which variety I have....

Have been working from the same germ plates and have seen quite a variety of phenotypes and speed/slowness.

From 8 days from.spawn for knots (no casing),  to over a month & a half with 2 casings.

Same.

Fast ones always had small curly bright orange caps no matter what I did, the slow ones had much bigger, darker caps that stayed flat and had very obvious striations.

Glad to hear you were able to grow mine out. Have only heard back from 1 or 2 people. Mine all averaged ~40 days from S2B for me.

40 days sounds kind,,, Try 2+ months

Damn, I’m glad that worked out. Now you get to wait 20-40 days to make prints.
