I’m lousy at analyzing pictures and semp myc can present oddly but I think it’s organized mycelium. When did it show up and is it growing quickly?

Looks like hypal knots mate! But this might mean you're about to experience side pin hell:lol:

Last time I had hypal knots like that the tub ended up like this. My gf can't view the image due to her Trypophobia:awesome:


But I still got a great flush on the top of the substrate, it was just really annoying to have to harvest the side/bottom pins.


Ah, I prefer side pins over a contaminated tub :thumbup: I have a little bit of trypophobia myself, but my mycophilia will always prevail.

I saw the first dots appear about 3 or 4 days ago. I’m not sure if that’s considered quickly.

Going to prep some casing today (for a variety of things), pH adjusted peat.  but i just saw yesterday that the semp tray has started pinning already (only around the outside of the tray, conditions have been unstable/recently dry), so is a late casing better than no casing?  and I assume peat is better than straight verm, maybe a little bit?  cause that's what i'm making, but i also have verm on hand.

Picture would help, but yes, late casing sound like the better option.

Verm works nicely on its own but I had slightly better results with peat, I'm just too lazy to deal with it but honestly the results were quite similar. Verm is easy because it can be used straight outta the bag without any hassle but peat has to be pasteurized properly before use.

@The Tao

I usually do a 50/50 and pasteurize on the stove in quart jars. I’ve done jiffy before and pasteurized the same way even though I know some use it out of the bag.

@ ambigu

My current run are all from the print imatryin gave away on the marketplace, and they’ve been throwing some very dense side pins even on the tubs I compacted pretty well. Just watch out for rot on the ones that are gonna be sitting in stagnant water.

Thanks Skansk! I went in here to ask about verm, and there was the answer!:rockon:

I got a serious gnat(Sciaridae) problem atm, and thought i might try verm instead of soil casing. If verm doesn't work I'll probably just throw everything on the compost, I'm on flush 6 now with first box spawned in February and I'm trying to keep subs around for as long as possible just for fun. I almost have nightmares about the little fuckers:mad2:

:raisemyglass:

If you've got gnats in the substrate already I don't think switching to verm will help much since they're already in the substrate too. I've heard that BTI is supposedly very effective but never tried it myself.

You can use those yellow stickers to catch the gnats but they won't remove the larvae and eggs in the substrate. Honestly though I've never seen any damage done by the gnats, they've just been annoying AF to swat away:lol:

The yellow sticky flags have worked well for me to get through a flush and slow the spread of larvae to other tubs, but man, they’ll take over your house if you let them stick around too long.

That’s the kind of thing that’ll get your partner or roommates pissed off at your hobby real fast :lol:

Lol my gf is already pissed at me for using all her cooking gear, the bathtub, the floor and whatever I can use so it's alright that she hates me for giving her Monstera gnats, she already gave up her hopes on me :awesome:

I have those yellow sticky papers everywhere, inside the tub, outside and in strategic places all around the room :rolleyes:

The pissed off part is the other way around in this household:mad: My partner is heavy into cut flowers, and there are pots and garden stuff strewn everywhere. Plus side is that I have someone to blame for my problems, but does she care, I think not:muppet:

BTI is hard to get around here, last time I checked I think it was limited to certified users only. Nematodes are available, but I have no idea how it would interact with the myc. Anyone with experience with nematodes?

I have diatomaceous earth, but that does little to no help when it's wet.

I actually ordered nematodes for the first time to try them on my (fully colonized) IWL substrates. To hopefully get them completely gnat free.

BTI I always order online from a US based company. Import costs an arm and a leg but it's still worth it if you have real gnat problems. I don't think it's restricted anywhere in the EU but I could be wrong.

I'm pretty sure it is approved in the EU, it is approved here in Norway as well, but it's not approved for consumer sale here because it impacts bees and if I'm not mistaken it was only approved for use during a certain few months a year on fruit plantations.

Please post your findings about the nematodes:strokebeard:

BASF, German company makes it as Nemasys M. I guess it will be easier to buy it, than import sth from USA. There is also Nemycel from another German company. And probably a lot more, as button mushroom industry is quite big in Europe.

I love Zevo traps for gnat control. They don’t even care about my subs when I have one on in the room. Thank god winter’s coming

Ate some dust left over from drying and storing my dark black Semps last weekend. Astounded and grateful for what unfolded from such a small amount of material. The earthy richness of the spirit of these things definitely lends credence to the beta-carboline theory. Very interested to see what comes from future testing of Semperviva.

So glad to have a relationship with this species.

All y’all’s fruits are looking beautiful πŸ™πŸ»
