Reminds me of a friend telling me that you can't get arrested for picking wild shrooms if you get down on all fours and eat them like a cow eats grass... He called it "grazing". Somewhat ironically he got arrested for possession of shrooms and I haven't heard from him since then.

Technically true in the state of Florida, where the law was written in a weird and convoluted way because they didn't want to make every rancher in the state liable for drug charges.

The bigger issue in most cases would be the trespassing charges...or the trespassong shots.

I got into LC's to do bottle grows, and while I do more g2g when working with grains, I do like the mechanics of working in the SAB if I'm going LC to grain.


OK, so essentially an ergonomic issue for you then?

Any particular reason you went with LC,s rather than LI's?



Pardon the delay good sir.  I would say primarily to expand to bottles(which in turn I thought would help with branching out to different species), and then once I learned it definitely the ergonomic aspect.

As far as LC vs LI, hate to say it but the truth is superstition...the only liquid grow I had go south on me happened to be LI, and while it was most likely a function of technical error on my part or tagalong contam, I just never bothered with LI again after that.

Question about this agar and which to pick.  In my humble opinion, the 1st is bacterial, the 2nd looks good to cut from, the 3rd is strange and the 4th has some bacteria.

Go for the 2nd and transfer? To be honest the extra growth could either be contam or because I had a time getting the wedge off the knife.

Welp, obviously no consensus here, because I had to look up what that even is, and I'm still not sure that what I saw is the same as what you're talking about.

I'm all about making sure my fruits dry down as quickly as possible, and inspecting them for any issues. IDGAF about bag appeal or waving giant dried dicks in peoples' faces. So I pull all my fruits apart to both inspect the interior and facilitate faster and more complete drying. On the big ones that also have opened caps, I usually separate the caps and throw them on a dedicated tray, then string-cheese the stems.

Also, this is gonna sound a little contradictory, but once my fruits are all at least ripped in half and the surface area is increased, I don't worry about stuffing them together and packing them on. Sometimes the trays of my dehydrator aren't even resting on each other at the outset. Just sitting on stuffed-in piles of fruits.

If it's the same variety, just pick the cleanest one, you'll most likely get som fruits that look good for cloning, print some for backup if you need to go back to spores :rockon:

It is all transfered from the one I put spores to. It seems that 2nd one has the best shot.

What I was talking bout B.

And yeah. There probably won’t ever be a consistent approach. lol.

Hell, I have seen people here just dry em and grind em and store em that way. I wouldn’t personally but it’s not “wrong”

I use the big gallon mason jars for storage. I just PERSONALLY like seeing them whole. It’s definetly a pure esthetic thing for me as I never sell or anything of the sort.  I’m the only one who sees them unless I post a pic here and no one cares bout a dried fruit.

Variance is wild. These tubs were all spawned on the same day, from jars that were inoculated from the same vial of lc. The only real difference is that the wider ones are in a slightly larger tub because I ran out of little ones lol. Any ideas as to why this is? The wider tub probably had a more shallow over all mix of spawn substrate and pseudo casing.

Any tips on harvesting clusters like this? The veils didn't all break at the same time. I think it's hellah cool looking though!

Grazie mille to all of you for all the help! I've got 6 tuns going. 3 fruiting. 2 have baby pins. I've only harvested part of the first flush from two tubs, and I'm closing in on 300 grams wet weight!

Apparently my other pics are too big to post. But one tub has long leggy guys with medium tops, and the others got these big ole chonkers (above).

plz, tell me exactly what to do :wink:.

I personally would be harvesting every fruit in that picture other than the little line of pins in the foreground.

If I was about to go out of town for a week or something, I might just pull everything with an already-brown cap, including the tiniest pins, and just leave the knots (still-white mycelium in pre-pinning mode.).

"Harvest after the veils break" and "harvest just before the veils break" are guidelines. They mean way less than people usually think. Your preferences may differ from the people who coined those phrases. I know mine do. To keep things simple here, and not go down a rabbithole, I'll just say: it all gets you high, and waitiing until you can pull maximum weight isn't the only approach.

Those clusters are usually most convenient to harvest by just pulling the whole thing at once. I'll typically even just go with harvesting the pins stuck to the base of a larger mature fruit. It's all chum for the dehydrator.

Thank you. As a newb "Leave it the F... alone" has been my biggest challenge. That and reading threads with 50+ pages and getting the TEK's mixed up.


The itch to toy with it will fade once you've gone overboard with the whole thing. Start other grows to occupy your idle hands. Keep the work flow moving so you'll have other boxes colonizing while this one fruits. Assembly line type of procedure, if you're needing to stay busy. I broke the chain of flow with a bad round of grain prep and had 14 spawn jars shit the bed on me, and it really sucks being stuck waiting on one step like that. Wouldn't recommend.


I have had one good B+ bin that made 3 good flushes and a bit if a fourth. That gave me enough to last what seems like a year. :O Even after giving away a bunch to a friend. Now I really want to get a tub of Ochras. If this turns out good I imagine I'll give a bunch of it away too. Even if only half of my grows turn out good it will be way too much. I also just put a TTBVI LC syringe to agar and a week ago put a Pink Buffalo spore swab to agar. Yet I still want to look/do something to all the stuff going on. Even after 6 months I still have some kind of drive to mess with stuff even when I know I should just let it be. This has turned into my retirement hobby. :wink:

Right on, that's not EXACTLY what I found online but definitely in the same ballpark👍

Immediate grind and store, that's definitely a trip there. I'd be so paranoid about moisture and oxygen intrusion lol
