Well I will avoid ZeeDix coir. I kinda avoid zee dix in my everyday life too. More of my wife’s thing than mine.

After I bought 9 bricks of Zoo Med, I came to realize that Coco Bliss is what most people are using here. I’ll know soon enough how Zoo Med is.

I never had any issue with Zoo Med, that's the most prominent brand around here & what I most recently used with mexicana...all good. 👍🏻

Just to cover all bases though, I didn't "bucket tek" it, I pasteurized the old school way...field capacity -140-160° for an hour... Not sure if that makes any difference, just saying. 👌🏻

Oh, AZ, it's from another thread but directed at you, regarding Kennett Square. It's been 20 years since I visited it but it's nice. YouTube videos may give you a 'feel' for it before you decide. Tours definitely aimed towards "family" learning...you won't find a psychonaut friendly atmosphere like Telluride or anything. Times may have changed there but, at the end of the day, it's a factory 🏭 - production, baby! Haha

When you say BRF, I'm assuming your just mixing the flour right into the agar? Or are you using BRF syrup?





Brf flour.  I like to mix it in the water first and let it "bloom" a bit as my water heats, then add the agar (but I do prepours...).

Great info! I’ll take a look into the place! And thanks for the heads up on Zoo Med. BTW… I did take that little nugget from the ATL7 (supposed P Mex Galindo lol) and transfer it to a new plate today. It kinda rolled around when I moved the plate, so had to reopen it and reposition it and then move it gently. That little nugget was hard AF!

The best tub I ever did was on zoomed.  I had a bitchin’ KS culture that pumped out canopies.  Forearm sized fruits, god I miss that culture.

+1 endorsement for BRF agar. If it was easier to see on, it’s alll I’d use. Mycelium loves BRF.

I'm excited to see what it can do! I haven't been very impressed with sorghum syrup agar. Grain water agar is what I've always seen the best growth on.

How big of a deal are they? Is my cult career over?

:bestcry:

The sub is already outside in the compost. I have the boxes soaking in bleach water now.

Also, there were only 3 and they're all sleeping with the turds.

It’s a part of cultivation.  Check any potted plants in your house to see if that’s where they are coming from.  Once winter is over they often sneak inside.

Also the standard fruit fly "apple cider vinegar and dish soap trick" helps to keep the numbers down some. That and sticky traps.

I feel like if you cultivate long enough you will experience them at least once.

Some might get stuck in the dish, but they are not attracted to vinegar like fruit flies are.  Sticky traps definitely reduce numbers.

But yeah, unless you are fastidious they will show up here and there.

I have 2 of these in the house because my wife has it looking like an amazon rain forest with all the house plants we have. I can say without a doubt they definitely draw them in.
