questions about various pin issues
    #5460205 - 03/30/06 03:21 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

right. let me start with the usual 'i have the entire archive printed in a binder in my bathrooms along with stamets book'. blaa blaa...

i've been rocking koh samui and mazatapec for little while, and wanted to make sure i have my facts straight.

the KSSS are WBS, cased 0.25"/1.5"/0.5" (bottom casing layer/substrate/top casing layer) w/ 50/50 peat/verm.

MATAZ are monotubed in a 5 gallon aquarium with an air pump, similar depths.

humidity in the large KSSS fruiting chamber is 95%, that perlite just won't quit!

the KS have been growing along the sides of the casing, due to moisture i assume (thought i mist and have 95% RH), but the casings are wall to wall in 2mm primordia that look really healthy, not aborts. never seen pics of something like it before. i'd like to limit the growth along the edges as i've thouroughly harvested the hell out of those areas. any ideas on forcing growth over the rest of the casings? this is the case with several KS trays. i've harvested a few flushes that have all been around the sides, but guess that in the grand scheme of things the tray has more to offer if pushed in the right direction. total harvest over these 3 mini-flushes might have equaled one flush if it grew consistently.

my second and demonstrably long-winded question is about the MATAZ and harvesting techniques. i've read this done both ways so... it has been performing swimmingly, and has many many small pins that haven't aborted (all uniforming 2cm tall, like the KSSS 2mm tall stumpies). as i pick the larger fruits, some will eventually mature... should i be harvesting across the board, and picking all these small guys as well?

i tend to be a continual picker, nabbing fruits every other day or so, and leaving the rest at various stages of growth to keep on doing there thing. i've been more concerned with successful growths (an so far no contams to speak of since i began this hobby) and would like to focus now on maximising yields.

moral: leave the little guys, or get out the tweezers and rend every last little things from the casings?

take care,
