Hello, here is the second flush off my TTBVI grow. For the grow whole oats were used as grains and spawned to CV soaked in 1/2 the prescribed strength on the label of liquid cacti nutrients (4 6 8) I had on hand.



Inspired by astra's grow I did less and got a better flush. For the second flush the aquarium pump was off most of the time. I just turned it on every couple hours for a bit. The lid was cracked a bit more for better FAE.

Aquarium heater was on/off 12/12 h, set to 84 f and the tub temperature reached 78 f. In the off time, the temperature was around 68 f. The flush went on and they did not seem to mind.

As I'm just about to buy things to make a similar grow area.

Which air pump do you use and I'm curious how loud they area? I live in a small area and don't want to hear it 24/7 running

You could go with a dreamer tub, the two ultrasonic humidifiers I've tried are really quiet. Just finished up a double dreamer tub today

I built a similar setup a couple years ago. It started as an aquarium style then it was modified to include an ultrasonic. Aquarium style is easier and less likely to damage the fruits but it is louder for sure. The reason that I did the switch was because it's in my office and I got tired of listening to it all day.

Yeah I totally agree, and a jcm watertub would not run out of water as a humidifier can, but since I'm not a big fan of the outside I hope to never encounter that problem

I went with the dreamer tub because I had nothing to start with, and the price tag was almost the same, I'll bet that a good air pump will last longer then my humidifiers too, but it was a fun build. I have only used it with one grow so far, but it made my Bisporus pretty happy so then I'm happy.

Would be cool to see you setup

My tubs are currently setup in their aquarium form because subtropicalis didn't seem to like my tent. I was originally inspired by angam so I can't bring myself to call them jcm. Here is a photo in ultrasonic mode with heat mats inside. Big flaw is that the fog inlet is on the opposite side of the fan so fog just shoots out the fan hole. It's cool to look at but not as efficient as inlet and fan on the same side.

Panaeolus cyanescens "TTBVI" #4:






First flush, 250g wet harvest from 2 trays, 600mL of spawn was used, spawned at 1:4, substrate was 89% coir and 11% sheep manure and humate pellets made into a slurry.

As 3.A.M. said a 50%+ coir substrate is super common.

My above grow is almost 90%, it has to be something other than coir causing you issues

Do you have any pictures of one of your pan cultures on agar and maybe a jar?

Are you working with the momentum? You shouldn't let pan cultures sit on agar or grain, you want to move quickly to fruiting.

How are you trying to fruit them i.e. martha, monotub or something else?

What teks are you following?

At a guess your spawn is not healthy if it will not colonise the substrate.

It could be a lot of things but Pan cyans should colonise the substrate fast, usually within a week in my experience.

In one container ttbvi was covered with peat on May 2, on May 5 it completely occupied the cover and I covered it with vermiculite.(for the first time I decided to make a second cover) This is probably the fifth attempt to grow ttbvi, it does not want to fruit.
In the second container pan.Cambodginiensis, May 7 covered with pasteurized peat, soon I will also sprinkle it with vermiculite, before I never made a second cover.But with this species I always succeed, not fastidious mushroom.

ttbvi-1 can of 0.5 straw, 1 can of 0.5 hay, 0.25 coconut fiber, 2 cans of 0.5 (1 L) dry horse manure, 1 tablespoon of gypsum, 3 tablespoons of mycelium.

Pan.Cambodginiensis - 3 liters of hay, 1 liter of horse manure, 4 tablespoons of mycelium

So I used straight vermiculite sinc esome of you said it should work as casing for my TTBVI. Is the vermiculite supposed to be colonized too or not?

I'm thinking it's non nutritional so I don't know if it can even do so but so far no mycelium has poked up from the verm after 5 days.

Did I make a mistake or is this normal?

Look at my post above, I did a second cover layer with vermiculite.
