Yeah keep it around. Doesn’t hurt to spray that verm a little more I’d think. Looks a bit dry from here.

Cased on the 15th and still no myc poking through. I was shooting from the hip when I sprayed the verm but I thought I really drenched it.

Any idea if this is the result of too wet or too dry? I'm all about LITFA, but if it's stalled out, I'll throw in the towel and plant the sub outdoors.

@thurman Yeah I’d wait on that one. Shit give it a good soak, get some evaporation going. The gap between sub & tub suggest you might be a lil too dry in there.

Could any of you have a look at how these semps are coming along? Tried taking prints of some that looked ready and I checked for spores with a swab and got a bunch on the swab, but after 48 hours on the foil almost nothing.. Dont want to make the same mistake with the tub in the pictures below. It's 28 days since I cased.

i would mist them heavily for 3 more days and then put the largest caps on foil in a container (shoebox f ex) keep the inside of the box moist (before putting the foil and caps in) , close the box for a few days. prints can be light, no problem

Got it, thanks

MojaveMyc said:

Gotta keep those caps nice & wet. I like to soak mine down about an hour or so before harvest. Then caps go to foil & I add a drop of water on top of each cap.

Nice I'll do that as well, appreciate the help

Too soon, timed it right and a drop does help.

Got a culture going on agar.  This was from a giveaway on marketplace.  All 5 are growing well.  Just placed the little pieces of culture on the agar 2 d ago and they are taking off. 

Will probably do a transfer prior to sending to millet.  My other subtrop genetics grew fine in jars, just can't get them to fruit.  Tried soaking, drying out, cold shock, martha tent, neglect tek, couple different casings....  Hopefully these will be some genes that will fruit.

I believe that was my giveaway? So happy to to know it's working out so far

Those cheap fine continuous mist-ers. Work great but they are cheap.

Some  seemed to work great for me for a couple of weeks and then the mechanisms just start failing and they no longer produce as large or fine of mist.
Some broke after a couple days!

3 months ago I bought two. two packs and I'm down the only one working now.



They also clog super easy depending on the hardness of your water. But at least you can fix that.

i use them with filtered water. but yes, they are not super long lasting..

This one is kinda heavy duty and won't do the 'fog-like' mist but it holds 1L of water and even spray with the bottle upside down. Seems to be popular among reptile owners and the fact that they don't like hosing down the chameleons/geckos/etc so i figured i'd give a chance. It's been pretty decent so far.
