Yes, I have had this type of experience: super spiritual insights with visuals on trips and then close to nothing on subsequent trips from the same harvest/batch, even when it everything seemed to me to be properly spaced, dosed, and dialed in.

Switching to a different variety seemed the key for me.  I also worked on developing skill in letting go of my expectations for any given trip, and also stating my intentions out loud every time I consume mushrooms.

You could try a different spore source (such as a completely new-to-you spore print or spore syringe) of the same variety or perhaps try a different variety. 

I took the tack of cultivating many small (zipblock) grows, to enable me to sample the trips from different varieties, so as to try to find one that works for me the best. I am still searching!

I do experience differences in trip qualities/characteristics based on the variety.

Best wishes for safe travels and for peace to you, friend!

Not that I'm an advocate of casing or anything, but I’m not convinced that the replies so far represent a representative cohort of cultivators. A handful of responses doesn’t really capture the broader range of experience out there :smile: Heck, most of them couldn't even figure out what I was asking, so the limited answers them selfs also didn't create a satisfactory debate ... If you look at Ted's tek, there's a lot of experienced forum members in it. I guess this more of a question for it's own topic.


Exactly what you said at the end.  Most of the responses that you will get in this thread are going to be geared towards general audiences.  And often folks will parrot those general responses without having experience specific to your question if it's something outside of the usual recommendations.

Hence the push back.

Fahtster is still around and it looks like Ted still logs in on occasion.  My suggestion would be to bump Teds thread and see if anyone familiar with the actual tek drops in to help with your questions.

Also, if you try it and have success post it in that thread.  There's more than one way to do things, and top dressing is generally recommended for its simplicity.  But if I grew PE I would likely case it myself.  Because it's SOP for me anyway and I always have prepped casing around.

Laminar flow with the oven ?? I tried searching g could not find anything . I need to transfer some spores to an agar dish , everything is already poured and sealed . I have a STAB the honey got off amazon ( I know I know ) I haven’t set it up yet it’s huge . And don’t wanna set it up for one transfer . I can obtain laminar flow by running oven at 250 cracking door and placing a tray there ? True or false

False

And if you're still a air box is huge and came off of amazon, are the walls hard?

Or is it more like a pop up pet tent?

Yeah those are the types of things people will work in for a year, and blame themselves that they're getting intermittent success, when their work environment is essentially a bellows moving dust around.

Get a large plastic tote, cut some holes in it or use a coffee can to melt holes.  Thank your wife for being thoughtful and supportive, and then return the Amazon one.

It might work better for growing mushrooms inside of it in a tray.  Or plants.  You definitely don't have to return it :lol:

Are these harvests from multispore? There tends to be more variation in just about everything from MS grows ime.

You could also homogenize your harvests by grinding them up and mixing the powder, but then you will have to store the powder more carefully than whole fruits. Capsules work for this if you are not opposed to them.

So I take it this one I have been using is shite and should be replaced with a good SAB.  https://www.amazon.com/Home-Complete-Greenhouse-Powder-Coated-Waterproof-All-Season/dp/B0BZQ6VSN6

I have access to a heavy duty juicer. Can I just juice potatoes, filter the results and use that as LC base?

Are you using a mini greenhouse as an SAB? I would think that the super flexible walls and all the movement that they probably exhibit would wreak havoc with the air currents inside. You would be much better off using a large tote (mine is 110qt) With rigid walls. The idea of an SAB is to minimize turbulent air flow to as great an extent as you can.

Here's mine:


Even then it's not perfect and you can expect some contamination but with practice and good sterile technique an SAB can be a totally acceptable tool for sterile work.

Btw, a "good" SAB can be made at home VERY inexpensively (see tips in posts above).</font></font>

Yes I am using the mini green house as a cheap Martha tent without air or humidity pumps. I do use puppy pee pads to increase humidity. I put my hands into the box via the unzipped front access. I do not see any movement of the sides or top. But maybe the large size makes still air impossible or less likely. Maybe why I seem to have a high contam rate...about 40-50%. :frown:

Okay hang on though...I think it's possible we're talking about tools for two different sets of tasks. Or are you doing sterile agar and A2G etc work in the Martha tent?  For sterile work with agar, grain jars, cloning, etc yku should not be worrying about humidity, unless you're referring to growing once you've spawned to bulk, and then it depends on what you're cultivating.

Hive-Mind, am I missing something here?

:whathesaid:

The greenhouse with pee pads isn't a tek talked about much here.  But it works for fruiting!  And you don't have to worry about air flow when you move in and out of it because you're not doing sterile work anyway.

For inoculation you want a SAB or flowhood.  And the SABs they sell on Amazon are not recommended because they're generally glove boxes (which is no good) and they have flexible walls (also no good).

No you got it right. I am using it for fruiting and as a SAB. My frugal side thought it would work but clearly not.

Thank you. I have learned that I need a dedicated SAB even if I have to pry open my wallet again. It will save me $$$$ by reducing my high contam rate with some careful work on my part.

Puppy pee pads is a new one for me.

I use a FH and still have contaminations in my plates because I'm lazy, but FH and SAB isn't 100%. A lot of success is learning how to read a dish and transfer away from contamination and then only going to grain when it's 100% clean. Also learning to throw out grain jars that might have gotten contaminated is a big plus in this hobby.

Caf, if you haven't already, check out the HitchHikers Guide to the Shroomery which contains links to all the tools and info you need to get a really good grow going. I know, I'm just completing my first grow and I owe every scrap of success I've had to the HHG and the many cultivators here who have helped me.

There's a link to the HHG in my sig.
