Psilocybe Cubensis Equadorian

wierd, see i have 4 strains growing now from across the world, and i cannot differentiate between any of them in any way, size, color, apearance, potency, they all seem exactly the same/

first flush of my cakes, 21 grams dry

second flush on cakes 9 grams dry

casing is still fruiting, and looks to be big!!!!

Yeah it is weird.

I hear that when most places send, they really dont know what they are sending you anyways.

Any photo updates?

So, 30 grams dry so far hey....

well the casing yeilded a buttload of stumpy mushrooms, don't have a clue why it's doing it but the yield was ok, 31 grams dry. I converted the last 4 cakes into horse poo casings, and i have once again "moved on up" in the equiptment im using to try and get more and bigger flushes.


ill post pics of my new setup later as the gorrilla glue is still drying and i can't move it around much. basicly i have a vick's cool mists humidifier modified to blow cool humid air into two 5/8" tubes going into the lids of 2 small rubbermaid tubs.
i have 4 identical tubs, and substrate and spawn are mixed and cased directly into the bottom of 2 tubs, and left in the dark with lids on for 2 weeks and for the next week ill be developing nice even casing layers with the lids still on.
durring that time the other 2 tubs will be attached to the humidifier and hoping to keep 2 casings fruiting for 3 flushes, then the best casing of the 2 will be cut and half and used as spawn with more horse poo added and the cycle will hopefully go on indefinatly, putting out 2-4 ounces per week.

equador strain yeilded 4.5 grams off tiny flush, but very tasty tall mushrooms!

do you regulate the humidity in your chambers?

you know if you were using a terrarium you could put a bunch of Perlite in a strainer and soak it completely with water and a little hydrogen peroxide (for sterilization) and lay it down as the bed of the terrarium. the Perlite has a huge surface area for water and the terrarium humidifies itself perfectly for about a month. very very cheap and extremely effective - just set it and forget it

What happened to the outdoor shrooms you had going did they turn out? because im thinking doing of the same thing and i have the perfect spot

well here is an update finally to the last grow i had from that batch, finally got'm looking like shroobs.




i just started a new batch of z strain a few weeks ago, nothing spectacular so far, a few spots of mycelium in some jars, will update if requested when there starts to be something to show.

yes im interested to see what happens, Ive grown shrooms a few times now and I was to believe that you should keep a mist over the casing until they leave the pinning stage. it could just be me but i dont think your has enough water.

hey man....excellent thread....had me drooling and thinking I need to go back and gro again....last ones I did over a year and a half ago....still have lots of spores, and saved a bunch of prints ..... need to do this....get organized....you did a great job! thanks for sharing!

turned out my humidity was waaaaay to high, thats why they were always stunted, casings only need to be at 75% to 80% humidity and mine were at 98%.

That is AMAZEING!!!!!!!

Mr Beaner, I would like to change my growing hobby for a while. Do you have any suggestions on good threads or books I can read on this subject. I have done some looking and find very little good info..

Thanks,
LDB

I swear I was checking your thread and thought maybe that was your problem...but I was to lazy to figure out what your humidity actually was so never bothered commenting on it.

Very nice shrooms man...a little chubby but still nice.

Have you checked out my shroom grow???

Ive got Hawaiian, Puerto Rican, and B+ going at the moment.

This thread was pretty facking awesome and informative!

Thanks

are great but i venture to ask if anyone has found a good book? I like a handheld, paper guide to supplement my forum research. it's comforting , and very helpful, i've found, with my weed gro
