My first trip down the rabbit hole...

Then y add filters for gas exchange to jars?
The mycelium needs some oxygen but actually, if you are growing in the jars quickly enough you don't need exchange at all. The mycelium will gradually slow down as it runs out of oxygen and goes above 10k ppm but it won't die. One of the most important triggers is Co2. Lots of CO2 for running but very little for fruiting, high CO2 will promote rapid growth, low CO2 will slow it down.

Well, not counting my chikens yet, but no contams in any of the 6 g2g and the myc is taking the hell off. Like 20% in some already. These will be ready in 4-5 days total time, amazing! PS Keep your jars in your grow room in a empty closet, they love it in there. Constant 80f and tons of O2 from the ladies.
Love how fast GTG goes :), I have too many jars myself and will be donating a few extras to a buddy that is just starting his own

You've been doing well. Unfortunately. I've been too busy to rework my home temps situation. My local temps went up to 80 for a coupla days. Now it's back down to the low 50s. Whatever. As long as there isn't any contam and nothings is going terribly wrong. Then I can wait a little longer.

G2G are 50% colonized already, not even 48 hours later. ANC u say the contams will show at about day 4 but how if it's a solid block of mycelium by then? Thought that was one of the advantages of G2G or LC over using MS every time, live culture out paces the contams better, no?

Depends on the Contam - Mucor will beat anything. Other than that yeah, live and kicking mycelium in enough points is pretty resistant.

Thats why I love growing transkei, I have seen it gang up on, then eat green trich.

They are not terribly large, so yields are pretty middle of the pack, however 1g will put most people firmly in their place.
Don't know any sources, mine was sourced localy from a friend who harvested it wild.

Try the sporespros.com or sporepros. Also try hawkseye.
Hawkseye has some great pictures but no spores, oh well, I've ordered from them before and would prefer to stick with known (to me).

Hey ANC, the way the aggressive mycelium is described (killer overlay, fruits anyway) is like my experience with PE, and those picture sure look like PE up until the point the cap opens, since PE doesn't open that far.

On the otherhand, my PE overlay was more matted, and those pictures are very fluffy.

First of the trays going into the martha tomorrow probably. Going to have ~ 5.3 sq foot of fruiting space and a medium depth of 2.125 inches, should equal a shit-ton of boomers if we got it all right.

I hope that calc helped you out sounds linke you should be a warped unit for a long time, do not forget its almost the end of the month but would be nice to be twisted at the lake with friends a nice fire memorial weekend
