wow, delighted at the strength of 1.2 newly dried g!
like little haunted matchsticks

I'm still up now in awe after dosing at 12, boosters left untouched.

Downgraded from 1.6 to 1.2 at the last moment, still turned silver and got 2+ solid hours on impermanence.


Now, saw a rainbow outside while making the coffee pot, appreciating life now.
Mush love,

feel like I'm casing at possibly exactly the wrong time, right when myc is visible across the surface. am I damaging myc putting loose thin verm casing then? do I want it either earlier, or maybe later once pins have set?

---

My guess is it doesn't matter much, but I like to give them seven to ten days after full colonization before I apply a casing.

Technically you want the sub fully colonized,
And even then i wait bit.

Looks like they are starting to drop spores, so another week maybe, awesome grows btw

Mine are sporulating and the bottom of my dreamer tub is a bit of a mess, in fact I'm giving it a clean out now. So just let them drop spores and run them right to the edge of rotting? I want to grab a couple of prints — should I do that now or wait for that too?

---

Yes just let them go for as long as possible. I print them when I harvest and the prints are thick af so I'd let them go all the way and take the prints at harvest so you don't miss out on any potency

The print I sent you is from a late harvest

Does anyone have tips for growing these while being sensitive to spores? I swear my nose and throat can tell the instant a single cap starts dropping anything, and that's real inconvenient with section zapotecorum. I'd love to let them mature longer than I have been able to.

bongoman said:

Maybe I could have left them a little longer, I don’t know? Caps are dark and stripes were getting darker.

Man those look pretty potent as they are, they'll probably knock you right off your socks As long as they're chocolate brown they're ready to be sent down congratulations on you first harvest!

What could be the cause of these funny looking Subtrops? There are some contamination, any clue what it is?

I have two tubs with the same genetics, both have these strange growing shrooms.

Both tubs were sent to bulk in mid February, and were cased with coir early March, and finally a proper casing of Cactus soil/Coir/Verm end of March. Both tubs have been stressed with both high temps and low temps after some woopsies. I think I consider both tubs as lost, but I'm gonna let em go until they are done or taken by contam.




These are from the same print originally, and they are rather big for subtrops? Guess they are not far from starting to drop some spores.

---

I guess it's due to genetics since you've used the same print unless you also used the same agar. If you did more than 1 t0 from the same print but in different Petri dishes you'll have slightly different genetics at play in each dish but I'm not gonna say this as a definite thing. I doubt it's due to contamination at least.

Also I'm pretty sure those huge ass beauties are dropping spores already but do not harvest them yet. They're not ready just now but soon
