Poo cakes?

LBH Depot sells poo cakes.
Alongwith spicey thai stick that shards your vision like Kerbi's enemies.
Ooooo, I would try Poo cakes but I don't like the idea of manure use in my lab (kitchen).is the spicy Thai stick actually spiced or is it like a terpene spice thing?

So I don't know what the high temperatures did but seemed like mycelium growth slowed down. But as off today the outside edges looked super fluffy and thick and looks like it's getting back its momentum. Did the high heat temperatures slow it down, or was there some disease? Did something attack it and in turn slow down colonization? The highest temp I have recorded has been 84 and it got there 3-5 times.

Also I am starting to see a blue tinge. I believe I might have handled them too much and from shaking. I admit that I might have loved them too hard but I don't really know what's going on. I feel like this should have been done colonizing by Week 3 and Week 4 will be on Thursday evening. also there is a droplets of an amber liquid. Are the bags going south? I probably shouldn't have picked them up so many times. Is there too much moisture?

High temps shouldn't slow growth some ppl use that tek to creat more pins on first flush, those bags look great man, what are you using for sub strait is that oats ? Sorry just jumping in

Don't worry. It could be that your watching too close. Picking it up. Etc. Let it sit in a position you can see it finish. Blue is bruising. In fruiting youlltsee blue as a sign of dry substrate. But that's later. Your moisture content should be square since it's a commercial bag.

High temp colonization makes for better pinset? Neat.

One more thing, it seems as if my other bag has stopped growing should I chuck it? The other bag is growing quite rapidly.

Wassup y'all,

Week 4

Chilling has commenced with the bags. I have stopped picking them up and try not to look at them too much. I believe I was handling them too much and too often. Anyways the one on the left was really lagging but who knows maybe the Mycelium is underneath the top layer of rye berries. However in recent days by not handling it it has started to come back, but again maybe it was always moving and I just didn't see it happen. I think I'll go with the latter. Mycelium still looks great, nothing that looks like a contaminant. It's really starting to fluff up almost like cotton balls.

So I'm thinking of doing mini bulk trays and putting them in a SGFC Because I'm afraid they won't finish colonizing at the same time. Here is the deal I have a bad fungus gnat problem. I think I would have to cover every whole with microfiber tape and I think that would be tedious. Should I just wait till their both done and combine them for the mini monotub? The last pic is of a tray I'm considering fruiting out of in a SGFC or a small one at that. Any wisdom or comments?

Well as you could imagine, the wbs coffee sub dries out fast, resulting in fewer finishing fruits. Many aborts. Each yielded 3.5grams dry. Not very impressed by the yield but given some vermiculite, they would probably compare well to brf.

Also having trouble with this round of clones. I've concluded that I lost track of time and tried to fruit too early. 4 contamination have sent some cakes to the grow room as top dressings and soil amendments. Follow my sig "amnesia fem" as I grow a monster cropped amnesia back to one main cola and sex a cross I made. 10 out of 10 last run were female so I am hoping for the best, but should probably sex it soon before I plant it in 7 gallons of soil.

In using a SGFC with mocropore tape over every hole. I fan 4-5 times a day when in town. The holes were as instructed in the standard tek, 2" apart grid on all sides and elevated. Taping took about an hour but solved the fungus gnat problem I had with a little help from weather stripping on the lid. I also ditched the artificial lighting because it attracted the gnats elsewhere in the house to the SGFC.
