i killed mine by casing the already colonized casing layer, the mycelium retreated and was never seen again after that lone pin which aborted a few days later.:

If you don't mind me asking,  why did you re-case?

---

Most likely i forgot they were already cased while i was still harvesting from 9 trays of pan cyans. Basically i fell asleep at the wheel and the grow mega flopped.

Its well known BVI/TTBVI is monster level aggressive, the ochernats of Panyland.

Have you grown pans before? If so, you would know pan cyans or its hybrids do not benefit from consolidation. Once the surface is fully colonized, you case them. Its that simple. Some people give them a day so the mycelium can work on the casing. Others just case and off to the FC.

There is no need to raise or decrease the pH in the substrate at all. Totally unnecessary. Depending on the casing, if you go with peat/verm 50/50 you should add lime to avoid nasties. Mold LOVES peat just so you know. You could also skip the peat and just use plain verm. Thin layer and then a very generous mist. Just don't use anything nutritious as casing, it would defeat its purpose.

One thing i learned back in '13, you do not run pans, they run you. Unlike cubes and many other forgiving species, these guys move lighting fast and expect you to move along with them. They have momentum which is very interesting. Best of Luck

Edit,
It seems someone else beat me to it and replied to your post. You're welcome to follow their advice.

Btw I forgot to ask but are ochernats ochraceocentrata/natalensis? I can't find anyone else than you saying ochernats hence why I'm a bit confused 😂

I might be the wrong person to listen to if you're a new comer/first timer. I learned pan cult from Blue and he's not here anymore, i might follow him very soon. Things were never the same without him and its hard to get used to it.

On the bright side, you do seem like a very nice person and SkankKorv would benefit greatly from your knowledge and generosity.

I'm going to mix these cans of Nec-d with hay manure, but I'm confused by the look of the mycelium in these cans. What do you think? Or am I just being paranoid?)

I'm not a fan of the first photo the dense spot on the top right corner. Doesn't mean much though. Just giving me 2 cent

I'm sure someone more experienced will come and answer that for you soon

YES. i'm just a lazy slob that keeps calling them that way, also sprints (as in spore prints).

Hello Motherhuggers.

The germination looks a little 'male excitement' to me, is this how it should look?
