Sorry to hear that man. I've tried a few times over the years and haven't gotten fruit yet.

I just put a plate through a CS so maybe this time **fingers crossed**

Kloakk will show up here eventually with some beautiful Tres Soles to save us

5 minutes, what took you so long!?!?!?

Gorgeous as always!

I was putting some nutrients in the big hole in my face Thanks buddy, they didn't come out with the big flat caps I was hoping for, but talking to Kirkeng it could be genetics, environment and pinset so I'll take it, they sure are beautiful mushrooms and their thick stipes is amazing.

Wait... How did they grow so fast? Fucking hell mine are mutated AF compared to yours

Here I am getting plins on plins, leucustic super survival mushroom which has been standing there since the first flush (spawned 3th of July) and some really interesting looking thick ass little mushrooms...

---

Yeah, they have been very fast compared to what I was expecting, 2 weeks since pins and they are already dropping spores, I ain't complaining though

In case you or anyone else forgot, the tray to the left is my regular zaps substrate and the one on the right is just coir, both cased with my all purpose, all species casing

Some sucky pictures through the tub, I'll get better pictures when I harvest but I don't want to take them out the dreamer until then.

Semps has been my white whale for the last year, tried a lot and never got them to fruit... UNTIL NOW

So happy to see you got some fruits there homie, and you're will to get there is even more impressive

Meanwhile, back on topic, I've got some semps on pf tek cakes that are colonizing but ever so slowly. I think really slow because I made two stupid noobie mistakes:

1) used commercial rice flour, which was tooooo fine
2) shot too much spore solution into the pf tek jars, which caused the mixture to become clumpy like clay.

It seems I am destinted to do everything wrong, before hopefully, doing it right.

You guys all make it look so easy lol! I'm over 6 months into trying to grow and my only success (don't laugh) has been from a freaking AIO grow bag that spit out oodles of golden teachers from MSS! All my agar attempts and shoeboxes so far have failed.

EDIT: These are my latest hopefuls...

Plates looks fine from here man, the plate on the left looks like a great next step. And I agree with skansk, you're here now putting in the work, agar work is one of the best tools in this hobby and if you keep at it you will have success

No disrespect meant, but you are new here and it seems you are just here to argue.

At the end of the day, anything that alters your biochemistry could be considered a drug, including foods, but does it really matter?

We all know what we're talking about on an intuitive level.

Anyways, if I got you wrong, apologies, but it seems it might be good to lurk for awhile to get the lay of the land. These are good folk here.

Well dude you say your only success is what you described then you post these amazing Petri dishes... You're a funny fella

They look smashing imo

---

I'e gotten this far many times...but to actually get...SHROOMS...that's a different skillset lol.

I'll keep at it, and thanks for the encouragement mate

---

I think these look so much better than anything you've shown before which means you have a much higher chance of actually getting where you want so just stay positive dude



@kloakk: haha damn dude 2 weeks? I had to wait 8 weeks to harvest my blobs and not even one has opened up yet...

I guess there is no reason trying to be fancy with Tres Soles either since your trays are very equal I just wonder what made yours so much better, I'm thinking maybe it's your dreamer tubs giving them enough Rh since mine are grown in monotubs. Ofc it could be genetics too but I have a hunch I need to adjust something.


Has anyone here successfully grown Tres Soles in monotubs?

newlive said:

Could you please tell me why the stems are turning white?
Could this be caused by poor air circulation?

---

This is nothing to worry over Tbh, it's perfectly normal.

This is the normal stem colour I get. They turn white as they go and only the fresh parts are brown so they're just maturing and you don't have to worry about it.

You could try applying a wedge to a PF jar minus the dry top vermiculite. It’s very slow but can be very beautiful



A second cake inoculated the same time is just starting to pin 2 months later.

You can also inoculate the PF (minus the top) with a Josex poke. It feels like forever to grow, it doesn’t always start to grow but it will be clean.

There's definitely higher humidity in my ez dial tub then in my dreamers(except for my casing which has been almost pooling), and since both trays looks almost identical it's not the nutrients in the substrate either.

My guess would be the high air exchange and maybe the casing, I always had poor pinset and weird fruits with just vermiculite even with HVC, then again many have great pinset with HVC.

I tried finding a tub grow of Tres Soles, but I couldn't find one, maybe Kirkeng did at some point, but no pictures in his journal. I could try running a tub or two

And yeah don't see any reason to run them(at least my genetics)on anything but coir

Thanks @Kloakk, I realy appreciate the encouragement. I've been a bit down about it lately as I've had a few tubs either do nothing (invisible contam?), or got some weird white mold on a couple as well.

Will keep you guys posted.

Interesting Idea! Ta for that! I've got your spores on agar too so thanks again for sending those man!
