I've got 6 cakes. Average temp in my house is 60 degrees... I will look into these options! The water tub is a contender

I was doing pans in a water tub with the lid gapped, with a seed mat and a thermostat over winter.  I don't think it was quite 60.  But often in the mid to high 60s.

Two cube tubs, Day 16 after spawning. Fine?
It looks like it's trying to form a solid myc film on the surface (specifically the one on the right), but I don't know what to do to stop that. But maybe it just needs more time. The other variant I have running pinned at day 10.

Is it MS?

I don’t see anything horribly wrong with the second tub. Check surface conditions

True, I will link the way I was doing it.  But essentially you want to heat the water not the substrate.  And it causes a lot of condensation, which is a hassle.  An aquarium heater in a water tub could also work.

I'm likely too specific between transfers which I'm going to change.

MS, select best 3 different areas to take to > T1, select best 3 sectors to take to > T2, choose sectors to take to grain and back them up on labeled T3 plates.

In the future I'll do MS, select larger 3 sections to take to T1 and then likely if clean just go to grain from there, and plan to clone.


Anyways, those pictures are of tubs with inverted lids, at around 70-73 deg F, after about 16 h rest. They still have dew, so the only thing I could think to do is raise the lids a bit to increase air exchange, but i wouldn't think that's needed.


Beyond just waiting I'm wondering how many people just get dud grows despite good conditions.

I do p9 tek so run 1:3 substrate with 4.5 quarts for a pseudo casing.

I’m not used to pinning until about day 21.

Guessing since you said inverted lid shoebox? It’s fine to leave the lid that way.

If you’re running in the low 70’s just have some more patience. Could be slowing it down.

I’m not seeing anything that would make me toss it. Unless I have a tube that goes 21 days with no growth showing on my pseudo and I have other projects ready I toss it. But you got all the growth. Just seem to be waiting for pinning.

Got 5 jars all from the same LC noc'd in the same session made in the same way. Is it normal for 3 to just not show any growth yet?

Depends on your definition of "yet".  How long has it been?

Give 'em a shake.  Maybe they're colonizing down inside where you can't see.  Don't be shy about shaking early and often.

Or maybe they're contaminated.  Shaking will help to show that sooner rather than later.

They have now been shook. Should I shake the ones already showing growth too? I used to read that shaking too early stresses the fungus out.

Thanks for the tips already.

By shake i would define as "swirls." Like, tornado in a bottle type, not shaking a can of paint.

Myc labs use magnetic stirrers on a timer (like more than once a day). It provides aeration (otherwise the oxygen exchange is solely the 2d plane of the liquid), and also breaks up mats / clumps of mycelium. Liquid culture is more forgiving than grain, one because nutrients are everywhere and it doesn't have to work for it, but two because shaking grain is mechanically stressful and will destroy cells much more than splitting clumps via swirling.


Don't shake (risks contamination and 'hammer effect' on your filter patch), just do vigorous swirls, and even a few times a day likely won't hurt anything.

Oh I actually did swirl it. I'm running the really ghetto polyfill setup so I didn't want to touch that. Thanks again. Time to get some action into the colony. 🫡

So my friend feels having a lethargic body after cubes intake, getting sleepy and feeling cold as well. There must be methods to lessen the heavy body feeling. Does anyone have tips or suggestions? Something to take in combo?

I tried horse poo pellets for 2 shoeboxes. Basically I added 4 tbs of pasteurized hpp (horsepoo pellets) to coir and mixed it. I added cooking water to the hpp, let it swell and get to room temp again. Then mixed it with coir, and then added the grain spawn, in 1:3 ratio (1 spawn, 3 coir x hp). And then added a pseudocasing. Total volume was about 2 liters in the shoebox.

The shoebox had Penis Envy Uncut.

It gave me about a quarter of yield compared with the 100% coir substrates. Normally on coir it gives me a handful of pins, and all grow out to enormous fruits.

These specific 2 boxes gave me an enormous amount of pins, of which about 2 handful grew out to tiny petite, maximum size like a pinky.

Which got me thinking: is this species particular not fond of hp? Or did I just mess up with FC, PAE, etc.?

Is this what people are referring to when they say body load?

Like how on the come up you get real cold and your whole body feels wrong?

I usually gage the strength of my trip by how cold I get during the come up.

Yeah. Body load is the heavy feeling.

Usually I focus on something else and it doesn’t bug me. Usually physical activity with spouse.
