Chili is real fun to grow, they come in so many different variety's and you can grow a chili bonsai

☣️WARNING☣️ Picture dump incoming.

Species: Zapotecorum
Variety: Holy Grail
Tub: 65L Dreamer
Tray: 3,8L
Spawn: Canary seeds
Amount of spawn: 600ml
Ratio: 1:4

Substrate:
- 30% Coir
- 30% Straw
- 15% HWFP
- 10% Cow Manure Compost
- 10% Vermiculite
- 5% Rice Hulls

Casing:
- 40% Coir
- 40% Cactus Soil
- 20% Vermiculite
- 1g/l Calcium Hydroxide

























It's been a minute since I had something to post here so I'm real excited to finally share my first tray of Zapotecorum. It's been quite nerve wrecking waiting for them to mature, especially when I saw what kind of pinset I got.



I was so afraid of fucking it up with temperature or humidity and I kept looking for trich to come and ruin my vibe, but I made it all the way to prints, not every cap gave a decent print, but enough for me to know that if I lose the culture I'm working with right now, not all is lost.

Again I want to thank everyone for the knowledge and a place for me to share this, it really means a lot to me. And thanks to MojaveMyc for providing the spores.

FP+, sporulating, which I hadn't expected to happen...so, I decapitated 10ish for prints and will leave the rest to grow for awhile.

Yeah, even getting them to spore is unusual let along dropping them.

Dank, exquisite.

Gilmour Hendrix said:

Ok. Back to the way I originally learned it. I read somewhere in the last few days someone was saying to wait until pins started to form to avoid matting the mycelium. I tried to find it. I can't. I thought it was Rev but I can't say for sure. Anyway, doesn't matter. Thanks for the advice.

---

Not me, but Tryp solved that mystery.

IME, the matting results from cycling between too wet and too dry. e.g. fanning and misting. So over misting then too much fae are both factors. I especially noticed it early on when I would try to save a yeasty smelling tub by leaving the lids off or mostly off and misting frequently. Salvaged the occasional grow that way as a noob. But pretty lame flushes and not worth the effort once you get your environment dialed in.

Passive fae for the win (for cubes). Mist only as needed. Some exotics prefer a bit more loving, ime.

I do mist my pans. As long as they don't get too dry in between mists they have tolerated it well and produce more spores. But if they get too dry and then get a mist they can abort pretty easily. So pans don't seem to like to cycle too far into the dry wet cycle either. Again, ime.

Pic tax:

Not much cult stuff going.
Testing parboiled rice prep at the moment.

Whoa... Say, I don't suppose you would be willing to share one of them there shiny new prints that you got, would ya? Happy to send ya any spores I have in return, if any might be of interest.

How did you happen to wind up with that sporebulk and casing recipe - just curious - lots of interesting stuff in there.

Nice work!

What a day to have eyes.

I really like this compliment, thanks Churpee

DERRAYLD said:

Well now

Can't thank you enough for being straight with me when I first joined DERRAYLD, who knows where I've been without it.

Mr Piggy said:

God damn. Good fucking god, you really took this hobby and got great at it real quick.

I'm very comfortable with saying you are a better cultivator than I am.

---

Thank you for saying that Piggy, I can't agree with you though because I only know my own grows which I learned here from all of you, and I am not even close to spot the problem in other peoples grows or give half as good advice as you can, but I really appreciate the kind words.

RoscoeReturns said:

Beautiful job, Kloakk!

---

Thank you Roscoe, I believe I got real lucky with the culture I picked from the T0 plate, but I'm hoping I at least had a small role in making this tray happen

The nod of approval is all I ever wanted from you guys, thanks Scemi.

fahtster said:

Daaaaaaaayum!  Excellent

---

Thank you legend, I really appreciate you saying that. Would it be too much to ask that you just stick with pans for a couple of weeks? I need this Zapo win to last just a little longer

Just kidding, but yeah can't wait to see what happens when you venture in to Zapo's

I was hoping someone would appreciate me taking the time to stop mid harvest and take a picture of a nice cluster, thanks for noticing and for the kind words Lithop

milkboy said:

All beauties Kloakk

---

Thank you milkboy, this was a real achievement for me, I still remember seeing Mico Zapotec's beautiful grows of Zapo's and hoped to one day being able to get to cultivate them, did not expect it to be this fast or hitting the genetic lottery like this, but it feels great

Gilmour Hendrix said:

Kloakk, you Zapped me with inspiration. Well done!

---

That makes me real happy to hear Gil, I'm still looking for those cat pictures I know I promised, and I'll find them, just gonna take a minute. Thank you for the kind words

---

Both the substrate and casing recipe is almost a blueprint of what Mico Zapotec is using in his grows, I've only done some small changes, if you want to grow Zapo's his thread is a must read

And that was my first tray, but it is not the only tray, there is going to be a giveaway for sure, and I'll remember you asked first

Holy shit, Kloakk!

Thanks Glitch, believe it or not, I'm as surprised as you are But it..
