@kloakk Hahah prepare yourself for panopies like you’ve never seen

My very first pan cyan harvest


You ain’t never seen Jambos packed so thick


MiBsolofruits


And this was like a little over a year ago. I was on year 5 of my cult journey. I think you’re ahead of schedule 🙂

Unfortunately there are no pictures prior to '17 (was hardcore anon). My first pans (2012) were never canopies and they still aren't. I don't know why but the way i was taught, canopies were more of a cube thing, not so popular with exotics. Most canopy obsessed growers have been growing cubes most of their lives so the frustration with exotics is real. That being said, if you pack a few hundred fruits so densely as to form such a canopy that can hold your beer, congrats. Well done. But don't feel like its the end of the world if you only get 2 or 3 fruits. It happens even to the most experienced lol. Recently, I was running some shitty ttbvi culture against pan jam and sadly, the jams were flopping really hard..so hard i was feeling despair but that's life, you keep moving forward and live to fight another day.

A prime example of a shitty ttbvi culture on its 4th wave, notice how the biggest, most perky fruits are SIDE PINS lol
Now why is that? Most trays (at least mine) have some standing bottom water and they just love it. The sub itself floats but they leech on absorbing all that excess moisture like funky parasites. Mushroom doing mushroom things. They get torrential rains and the occasional storm... They won't drown at the edge so as long as you keep that water from turning dark/gooey (yellowish/light brown color is completely normal).
If you're like me and don't keep too many plants around the FCs, you'll be fine otherwise keep an eye for fungus gnats and similar fiends. I grow cat grass nearby so i gotta keep those retro tape rolls hanging from the wall next to the grass trays. They look ugly but help tremendously.



Trying everything in my power to take fresh pan jam (yellow caps) prints, since i'm only getting 4 to 5 fruits per wave lol

Hello! Continuing with the previous line of comparing the different effects of the pans, I'm curious if someone could share what the Bisporus would be like.

And pan tropicalis?

Thanks for sharing this, and I always feel better about my grows after posting here. Just for the record, the "self destructive" part was more giving credit to Mojave than taking a dump on myself.

My co-op grower wanted to share his grow as well, here he is standing under his Bisporus umbrella with his Bisporus tub, show off


Me on the other hand harvested the first TTBVI tray today. I wanted to get prints and decided to just harvest everything so I could finally get a casing on it, not that it seemed to need one.


Sorry for the crap picture of the printing, but they are inside a tub.

Microcultures: an agar wedge placed in sterile distilled water and stored in a sterile, sealed microcentrifuge in the fridge.
You can store mycelium like that for a very long time.

I believe I came across a thread about this, but I can't find it now. Maybe someone can provide a link.

I use this already.

But I will have LC over and it would be great to be able to store it for a few weeks or even months for future grows

Just leave the lc in the cupboard.

I have lc from 3 years ago that is still healthy and ready to be transferred.

Damn! Happy to hear that. I will try to leave them outside of the fridge then and see for how long theu stay viable for me.

Thanks for the tip
