Seriously though, thank you. I still look up to you Mack, bringing that good vibe all around these halls, it matters more then my luck.

This round of pans is looking better by the hour:



Do TTBVI develop the typical Mushroom bell cap or are they the more flat sombrero type?

If anyone has a pic of mature TTBVI fruits at harvest, it would help me a lot. I know you wait for spores to drop, but I think I remember reading that they show up more on the stipe than the surrounding caps.

I'm off work until Wednesday. I'm hoping they mature before then. If not, I'll need some kind of reference to give my wife because she'll be the one harvesting them.

puff those are looking great, nice work!  I could never get either bvi(tt) to drop spores....these were my favorite caps

that's funny, you mentioned something like that before. imposter syndrome? or like just depressed or like depressed because you think this should bring you more joy or fulfillment? I've been in a tailspin for a couple days, it's even dulling some of my joy in cult (I got my first albinos! my first ochra pins!) my mind is elsewhere. World is a fuck, what can you do? Hope you feel better, own those beautiful grows you're growing, they're great and I think a lot of people here are enjoying them!

I haven't done millet, but wheat is fine, they do love popcorn though. It shouldn't matter if you use tall or short shoebox, but you would have to dial in the dreamer differently, I have done shoebox and trays, and I like trays, the reason being that with a shoebox fog will be "trapped" inside and could flood it. And, less air will reach the top of the casing resulting in less evaporation, upside is you use less water in your fogger.

Bisporus is cool though, because they enjoy getting misted as long as you don't drown the pins. So if what you call a short shoebox is more similar to a tray, I would go that route, but both options is fine as long as you adjust accordingly.

That tub looks stellar Stagger, spores or not, it's beautiful.

PuffM4gicDr4gon said:

Thanks a bunch! This will be my 5th try at pans. Only my last one was even close to successful, and I only ended up with 1.7g dry.

Fingers crossed, but I'm hoping to have MUCH more than that across all four tubs.

It seems like I have the moisture and fresh air dialed in perfectly. The substrate and fruit lose their glisten about 1 hour before my auto mister kicks on.

From here they look awesome

It might be, I am not diagnosed with it, but who knows I do feel that I am not whole, and that any day now all of you will see through that and I'll loose my place in this great community, I'm proud of some of my grows, but what I really am proud of is the fact that I did touch someone with what I did, and that feels really good.

I did however, feel alot more joy than I thought I would before getting in to this hobby(now my life ) because I didn't expect to encounter so many great human beings as I did. But you are probably right, I'm diagnosed with depression, mostly because the world is turning to shit

I'm not all doom and gloom though

Peace river ms coming out better than I thought it would

This is awesome and your yields are so good. You got me wanting to switch over to jcm's or maybe a dreamer tub.
I'm kinda tired of running tents tbh

---

For me tents are just so big.  It’s kinda like a sgfc where you probably have much better luck when it’s kept running filled with subs.  At least it was for me when I did it with cubes centuries ago   I’d probably use tents if I was doing production but the break-down-ability of multiple tubs is a nice feature and they’re pretty set and forget.  Every once in a while I’ll have to add water but that’s been more of a winter problem.

Cool! I'll buy some popcorn.

I do mean trays, lol, the word escaped me this morning!

Thanks for all the insight! May I ask what you use for substrate and casing? And what spawn to sub ratio you operate with. Lastly what popcorn tek do you use?

I am excited to run your TTBVI in the dreamer

---

I actually did 8 trays with different substrate in all 8 trays. I can't get poo where I'm at so I used cow manure compost, like black kow if you are in the USA. And even though I did a lot of different substrates, the main thing I picked up from that experiment was that at least 20% cow manure compost did great. The 70/30 coir/cow manure compost and 100% coir hydrated with plant fertilizer gave me a fast and great first flush harvest. As long as you use at least 20% cow manure compost it will give a good pinset, first or second flush.

I didn't use a tek for my popcorn, because the teks have different popcorn then I can get, the main thing is to check on them regularly, you want the kernel to be at least 90% hydrated. So I boil my popcorn and after 1 hour I take a couple of grains cut them in half, check for hydration, if they don't look ready I give it another 15-20 minutes and check again, I'll do this until I'm satisfied with the hydration. You'll see when the popcorn starts to burst, and just know, burst popcorn is not really a problem, they are big and even when burst, don't really clump, I'm paranoid though so I'll remove the ones that have split in half while I dry them

Oh shit, that's right, I sent you spores, awesome, and I hope they treat you right, let me know how they turn out
