ANC I see your online. Please report to this thread and answer my oven drying question. P.S I made one of those 5 gallon bucket fruiting chambers for my extra 2 qts of colonized seed. I had the horse poo mix in a bucket outside for 2 weeks in the blazing heat and I pasteurized it with the boiling water and when I opened it to use it for by bucket fruiting chamber it stunk so fucking bad! I don't know if it was the sulfur from the gypsum I used got activated or what but fucking a my wife was pissed cuz I stunk the whole house up for hours and even oust would not help it. Oh well I used it anyway.

lol, fuck yeah i'm also not fond of hot horsepooh smell.

How would you dry rusks in that oven? Cause I basicaly dry them like you dry rusks, just hanging them onthe grill type shelf and leaving the door open a bit. I test by hand now and again to make sure it doesn't get very hot inside, it just needs to be a bit hotter and dyer than outside.

My transkeis are throwing a second flush... had some raveing good report-back from friends who tried them this weekend... People just never believe you when you tell them a cube unlike all the others exist, unti lthey try them.

Was the horse poo fresh or was it aged?

I just use coco coir, calcium sand and a bit of pasteurized cow manure, so it doesn't smell.
I pour the boiling water over the mix, let cool squeeze it out and mix in the spawn.

well, the climate is about right finally for me to be able to start my fungus growing. can't wait to contribute with you guys. planning on using a very similar tech.

yessir... sclerotia are condensed mycelium. basically shroom truffles. they are active.

Sclerotia is roughly 70% water by weight while mushrooms are around 90% water. Dry sclerotia is 2/3 as potent as dry cubensis fruits, while fresh sclerotia is twice as potent as fresh cubensis. This is due to the fact that sclerotia contain 3 times more dry matter per quantity of fresh material.

So, I dont wanna use pooh, but I want to go bulk after my first attempt at BRF cakes, following the PF tek method with no PC. I Havnt had my first flush yet, But I do plan on everything going well, it seems to be so far. I have a few questions. Can i clone a fully colonized cake? I have one jar in perticular I would like to clone, its very fast growing and is doing very well. How would I go about doing this? Can i slice a peice of the cake just before I send it to fruit?

Next question. Looking for a simple bulk method, not to much pizzazz to it. Preferably without PoOPoo.

I want to start my bulk colonization just as Im fruiting these ecudorians.

Im sure im going to need a pressure cooker for Bulk... so Ill get on that asap.

Ok so, 1, you dont clone cakes, you can to a grain to grain transfer type of thing with them( use glovebox) or some myc water, its up to you and both have pros and cons. Neither of those are considered cloning tho. Cloning involves cloning an actual fruiting body( mushroom) in which all clones would be identical( genitcly) to the donor. I have no experience with cloning so ill let someone else take over that part. or you can just google it :)

I am just looking for a suggestions for a specific tek without the use of dung.

I want to isolate the best genetics, so your saying I should clone the best cap? Ive heard isolating the best mycelia is the key to uniform crop?

Im learning, stay with me here :)

If you want to "clone" you need to cut out a strong piece of mycelium and get into agar. When you isolate that piece of mycelium you have the ability to replicate it. or you can do this:

Why on earth do you not want to use horse shit? It is the cats meow imo and you can get it FREE! Also look into liquid cultures. You can cut off about 2-3weeks of colonization time. If you buy a pressure cooker which is a must get a big one capable of doing 10+ qt jars. Make a glove box and contamination will be a thing of the past.

basicly its the same thing. but if you clone a whole jar you will have many different genetic providers in your mix, as opposed to cloning a fruit or isolating mycellia
