Hereās the tidal wave 2 grain bag after 2 weeks. Itās seams slow, I thought it would be fully colonized by now. Mixed the bag a bit and tucked it back away
The pe mushbox mini is going in the trash. It still has no growth

. Two days in the tent and they seem to come out perfect.
Canāt wait to see these finishedā¦looks very nice! Too bad about the mini kit.
Holy hellā¦how much does that bag weigh? Looking good!!

Thanks, I havenāt actually weighed the whole thing. I usually just weight out what I need at the time, but I am curious too lol

Well I didnāt weigh that big bag, too much for my little 200g digi scale, and I didnāt feel like weighing that in batches. But with the batch of mazatat I grew before these, over course of three flushes, I totaled over 126g dried from two myco quarts of brown rice. I donāt know the exact total dried weight since many were used fresh, but thatās still over 2oz of mushies from a few cups of brown rice mixed into a shoebox

Broā¦youāre giving me hope of actually succeeding!!..lol
Checked my jars and little shit boxesā¦

6 days since mixing Malabar with coco and letting it do its thing.
6 days since mixing the penis envy with coco and letting it goā¦not too much happening here, but Iāve heard this one can require some patience.

The jars do look a bit bacterial, but honestly so did all of mine, and they still fruit at least one good flush .

Yep, thick and bright white like ice cream. Those jars look colonized enough for a break and shake, if they donāt recover and start to grow again after a couple days, then itās prob no good. If it finishes colonizing, go ahead and mix it with coir.

Well, gonna let em finish and try a tub. Will order mycelium on agar and try to make more agar plates and a few grain jars from those.
Iām in Canada, so someone point me in the right direction. Otherwise Iām just gonna order from mycodotca again. Seems kinda priceyā¦but what do I knowā¦and I suppose seeds are about $80 for 6ā¦soā¦

@Tappy Iāve been using myco and spores lab. Both are pricey but I will have 7 different different kinds by next week. I have agar, plates and slants also so after that first initial purchase I really canāt see me needing anything else for years to comeā¦. As long as i donāt mess up the agar work lol. I can share if you donāt want to drop a bunch.

Buddy, that would be solid! Iām still gonna order 1 or 2 live agar plates and try to make more. You sound like youāve got a helluva collection starting!! Did you say you have/are getting blue meanies? Do you have any lizard king on the way? Iāll try and buy a strain you donāt have yet, so we can expand each otherās colle tions after trades and stuff.
