Psilocybe Cubensis Equadorian

Nice dude, those poo trays should do pretty good.

How are they looking so far?

im not sure actually, the suspense is killing me but im afraid to risk contams by checking them. im gonna see if they are done on thursday of next week.

Ok cool...and GOOD LUCK

i caved and checked it again, the growth isn't as fast as i had hoped, what do you guys think? will it colonize in time? i found a small green bit of mold growing on one of the trays, i picked it out and it hasn't been back since...

You probably want to induce fruiting pretty soon on those.

Since your growing cubensis just give them a little light for 12 hours a day. Its a lot like flowering a plant.

Update pleeeeasse

im sure uve either fruited them or they were given up on by now bc of mold, but did u use a heating pad to regulate the warm temps? also, they only need like 1hr of light a day to fruit..the only reason they need that much is to activate the mycelium, it lets it kno its grown through the substrate and is ready to fruit.

Beaner, your last post was a little while ago, but...

Those casings are reading to fruit. Beyond ready. You're supposed to fruit just when it starts to poke through. If you case with vermiculite or 50/50, you can buy some extra time, if it goes too far. With poo, you need to be a little more careful. But you should get a very decent yield of potent, delicious cubensis there. More than you would probably expect. They look perfect-- you just want the growth to be somewhat uniform.

Also, if you find a little spot of green aspergillis, you can remove it carefully and add some hydrogen peroxide around the spot. This should help contain it, but the spores really do go EVERYWHERE, so remove it with caution. And be careful... The stuff grows underneath too. Generally, green mold, if it is surrounded by rhizomorphic mycelium, will not be harmful even though it is touching the mycelium network... Though most growers will tell you to throw it out, just to be on the safe side and cover their ass.

sorry to invade your grow, but theese are mine from last winter, i use to grow a shitload of em, i havent in awhile tho cause i moved into a new place

sorry for the lack of updates,

ethnobotanist: those trays werent cased yet, that was just the raw horse poo colonizing in the pics.

pyrex:beautiful shrooms!

ok well lets see, of the two trays pictured above, 1 didn't colonize on time, and the other went pretty fast. so the one that colonized got cased with pure virmiculite and has had 3 days in the dark, im spraying mist a lot and they are getting lots of light, the mycelium is poking through fairly even and im just waiting for pinning.

Also i have gotten a treasure trove of new strains from a very serious grower i met on the shroomery and lives pretty close to me.

they were 11 one QUART jars(huge cakes!!) with b+, Z strain, and KSSS. all cloned up to 5 generations and colonized to milet and rye.

I took 3 of the best looking KSSS jars and spawned them to about 1.5 jars of pasturized hpoo, i figure the poo will just give the jars a little extra nutes, because they have been fully colonized for a month. there is very little poo and it should colonize within a few days, then it will get a 50/50 casing.

the other jars were dunked and rolled and are sitting on damp pearlite in my old tub. today is day two of light for them and we aren't going to look for pins for about a week or so. I have pics and will post them soon, but i just woke up and i need to get some eggs in me.

That's what I get for not reading the whole thread. I was distracted by all of that lovely rhizomorphic growth I saw in the picture.

If you're dwelling around the Shroomery, you'll no doubt have a successful grow with your new strains. Just keep in mind contamination issues with grain spawn, especially when doing a casing or transfer. Fungi is a whole 'nother ballgame compared to cannabis, isn't it?

well here are pics of the jars in dunk, those aren't your normal half pints, those are the big boys, lol 1 quart jars, 1 jar is equal to 4 of my old half pint cakes, and spawned to grain will make more potent mushrooms than my brown rice flower cakes. i forgot to take pics of the horse poo mixed with KSSS spawn but it is about 85 percent colonized after 2 days, it is working so well that i might just spawn the rest of the cakes to 3 more pans of horse poo, maybe even 4 (i would use the 4th pan to spawn all new pans when the original 4 run out of nutrients.) I have read that KSSS fruits so heavily that it runs out of nutes after the second flush. I would like to take this time to recomend this hobby to anyone with an extra 50 bucks and an hour or two a week who wants too make ounces of the highest quality mushrooms around. It's very fun once you get the hang of it!

Also i would like to announce that after day 4 of light i am already seeing pins!!! 4-5 big fat ones on one of my b+ cakes, cant wait to see these bad boys in action!!!!

Looking good beaner.

I am grateful of the pics.
I have been wanting to grow some for awhile.

A friend used to pick them out of black angus cow shit.
Those were ok.

I then got some from a friend in the northwest that were red with white spots on the caps.

Damn damn damn.

I always wanted to grow them since then.

Did you have a prob getting the spore kit?

nope, actually if i wanted to pay 35-45 a syringe(can get better ones for 15 online) I could just go downtown to Totally High Creations and buy them legally from the store. they are very easy once you dial it in, they need very few things to flourish, and when given all of them, it's pretty hard to mess up, not to mention i love the speed they grow, weed can get very boring to watch grow as it takes 3 months from start to finish, a mushroom takes about 5 days to grow, very fun to watch.

If your interested in starting i would suggest the "pf tek" instructions available online with a quick google search. and spores from Spores101 quality mushroom spore strains in spore syringes and spore prints.

damn all of those shrooms lookin good as hell thinkin about pickin sum up at sporelab.com n e got feedback on this site??? there not 5 for 25 no more they are 3 for 25

where did you get your mycelium? i wanna make some shrooms, got a link where they ship to canada??

Ok, I am going to order some in the next day or two. I just need help with strains. I've never experimented with enough shrooms to get a hardcore trip. I ate about 1/2 and 8th and didn't see much until I drove home. If anyone has any strain recommendations, I am open to suggestion. Will start ASAP. Beaner, if you want to set me straight, feel free.

well most strains are about the same, with some small differences, i would suggest going to Spores101 quality mushroom spore strains in spore syringes and spore prints they have a huge selection with good descriptions, and they sell syringes that are thick with spores, something that can't be said for many "cheeper" sites.

anyways here is a pic of my Koh Samui Super Strain, 3 quarts spawned to pasturized horse poo for 2-3 days, almost ready!!!

im ordering the BLUE MEANIE looks yummy.
