I'm HOT for Teacher 4

I have to say first off I am in complete awe of this backyard bed! After much reading here in the forums I decided to go bulk outside. A raised bed was constructed with bricks, and into the mix went 2 40lb bags of worm castings, 2 small bales of straw from Michaels, a tarp full of local horse manure/wood shavings, and 2 bags of vermiculite. The mix was layered on top of a soaker hose (thanks Joshua) along with 6 quarts of colonized WBS - Golden Teacher. Colinization was quick, and right at the 3 week mark pins were surfacing throughout. In no way was I prepared for what happened next......the following three days I picked huge flushes both in the morning and night. Everytime I cleared a colony there was another group ripening right behind it. The fruits were extremely healty looking, beefy as hell..... many being in the 40 to 70 gram range. 3 5 foot screens were layered with fruits for fan drying while the excalibur food dehydrator comes in the mail......so no word of yield yet...but it sure looks plentiful. Thanks to all the Moderators, and incredibly knowledgable people on this site.....you encourage us all to be cultivators of the devine! I'll try and update with 2nd flush results-

Well fellow cultivators........looks like the EQ project is not going to be very fruitful. Its been 5 weeks since spawning the new bed, and the only thing that has popped up is another interesting non cubensis looking mushroom. The medium has little sign of colonization either so, sadly......no massive Eq shots to share with everyone. I think the primary reason was not enough spawn, I dug this bed about 2 inches deeper than the Golden Teacher bed, and didn't add as much spawn. Feel like the EQ mycelium never really got the momentum going that it needed. Anyway......learned a lot from these runs.......and got really intersted in cultivation of all different types of fungi. Just got Stamets book on Cultivating Gourmet and medicinal fungi....so will be doing some research on that route. Will be living in the blue ridge mts. next year....much cooler, and wetter climate so will try some azures along with the woodloving species. Thanks to all for the knowledge in spurring on this great project......really opened me up towards a new form of cultivation. Last pick is of the other specie that popped up....anyone know what it is?

He has to be somwhere in the south for that, One of the only regions cubensis grows like that, Ive been all around No Cal Oregon Washington ANd found many Liberty and Wavy Caps, Im not saying you cant grow them anywhere else but for yields like that you need to be in the south.

Right on djsage420, its been feeling pretty tropical in the sticky south. Temps were in the 80's to 90's most days with a lot of rain. Humid as all, I almost thought it would be to warm to fruit....but as you can see... I thought the fern would give all the colonies good company.....and yes the stout fruits started rearanging the bricks without my consent. Potency is definitely up there too! Thanks for all the comments and ratings........go outdoors!

While everything was colonizing I ran the soaker hose a couple times for about 20 min and hand watered a few times. It was raining every few days so the bed stayed pretty moist on its own. Mother nature was kind and rained everyday of the fruiting week - I just sat back and watched things get out of control. Definitly go for innoculating larger area's if you can - well worth it!

That's VERY HOT!
Nice grow dude.
So, you had the soaker hose on the bottom of everything? How deep down was it?

Soaker hose was on the bottom of the 6" deep bed. Bed felt like a nice absorbent sponge.....yields at the end of the week!
