Spore-tacular Shenanigans

[Hudo]

Hope I'm not being rude Orb but I'm surprised my Equador bag seems to have overtaken yours.

Just like weed different stains do different things it's all about finding the right one for your grow technique and environment

 

[Orb]

I had a couple germinate but the container has dried out. I have another packet that I plan on starting soon.

i was looking into cacti very briefly - I’d tried a couple overseas, a long time ago but had poor experiences (one very mild, one total shit)

what is the grow time from seeds - I’d somewhere read it was years for even the fastest growing??

Yeah it can take awhile. I’ve only just got into cacti.

I have some pups gifted that are about two years old.

Lots of seeds too. But peyote certainly takes a long time.

If you can get some pereskiopsis then grafting onto them will fast track the growth

@frankreynolds would have more knowledge on them

 

[Orb]

nice one thanks @Aye Shroomer - have u tried grafting?

 

[Aye Shroomer]

Yeah I have grafted before but they didn’t work and now I have let my pereskiopsis crop die too so I’m needing more graft stock.
Rookie mistakes so next time I will make sure I have plenty of root stock

great look forward to following that if ur game to have a diary and we’re both here a few years!

 

[Orb]

being somewhat envious of @Anaken Moonwalk white cake I did a bit more looking at the myc on other grows and maybe I’m not going to get a white block - pics below have some patches that look similar to mine

 

[Orb]

plus there seems to be lots of pin growth even without opening the bag so maybe it’s time to let more air in with a cut or two?

Let her rip mate only thing to watch is it will be more susceptible to mold on the parts that aren't colinated. When I do totes if I see mods starting in a spot I get a spoon full of iso and soak the spot and it slows it down gives you a chance to get to the finish line

thanks for the nod @Hudo, I’ve got my fancy new spray bottle, some distilled water, micropore tape and iso ready to go!

Loving your thread orb following along with interest, just wondering is there somewhere you can recommend I can read up on growing shrooms how it's all done and shit like that

yeah mate there are a couple of great threads on TSE (search for Mycology or mushrooms) plus a few experienced growers here too

beyond that YouTube is great and the rookie mycologist has some useful vids for beginners

I have a cacti diary that I update from time to time. But I need to improve my game

I agree Terry, this is a great grow. I just got a book by Seth Warner recently, nice simple state of the art methods with links to more. Got so inspired, I bought a dehydrator, as in the current weather there’s goldies 100m from home. Thought I’d dry a few for a non-rainy day

Take spore prints too.

 

[SAW]

Aye, Ayeshroomer. I think I need to focus on weed. There so close to home, so I pick and dry them for Ron. I’m flat out and growing shrooms would do my head Mate up the valley is setting up a shroom lab, so I’ll watch him and learn.

Is a spore print for growing or ID?

 

[Aye Shroomer]

It’s to collect the spores for cultivation but it does help to id them too

Just cut of them stem and lay them on tin foil. Place a container over it to create humidity and protect them. 10 hours later you have spores.
Even if you didn’t want to grow your own it’s good to have a local supply of spores. I for one would love more Aussie varieties.

so loving how quickly this grow accelerates - after seeing lots of pins yesterday, wiped things down with iso, made two cuts below level of the patch, tried to exchange a little air, gave the bag walls a wee misting and patched up with micropore tape, left on the kitchen table 12 hours (no direct sunlight) before it goes into the box for 12 hours.

Pic below is 24 hours after the cut, clearly humid in the bag which I’m hopeful is good!



and close up through the plastic u can kinda make out what is going on a bit better
