Ty brother. I follow

Please take pics from a bit further back, and angled so we see the tub and other relevant gears size, overall layout. Do you use foil on the bottom before dropping ur magic stolen hp mix?

I line my monotub with black bag to prevent bottom and side pins and the affirmative tranferd hp will shrink a bit so the black bag will stick to it and prevent side pins from forming 

I will take some other pics tomorrow or so

Lol, I feel like I was dropped in a whole new world. So what's happening in the jar?

The brown yellowish liquid is water  and honey the floaty bits is the mycelium growing

Oooooh weee this is what the pan cyan lc that I made 2 days ago

Yup

The only thing I understood was the breakfast and cops part

But you've got me interested in going to find out where this is heading hehehe

Feel free to ask and i will try to explain to the best of my capabilities i can even add poorly drawn pictograms if you want 

As for the capitalizations i used ...

Gtg - not old-school texting got to go but grain to grain that is when you take a fully colonised jar of grains break it up and put a little bit into a sterilized jar of grains this cuts down on colonising time and expands stock 1 fully colonised jar can make 16 jars +-

Lc - this is liquid culture . . . Instead of inoculating grain you can inoculate a sterilized water and sugar mix honey is best but this will give you a multi spore lc but what you really want is a "clone lc" this will require some agar work 

I will show you guys when i start working with agar with agar you can do genetic isolation and cloning 

To go further into fungi you will need some lab equipment

Update 17.4.3.86 version 3

So I am preparing a few grain jars to do a gtg transfer with the uncontaminated pans and mez cause I don't have enough for a monotub 

The local flavour Transkei is colonising the monotub seems to be going good its at about +-30% done in 4 days 

Oh and I have started 3 lc jars lets see how it goes 

And always remember to eat a healthy breakfast that you can run from the cops

So I got my field capacity substrate in a oven bag and its in 75°c water for the next 90 min

So I started with my bulk substrate 

50/50 hp & verm and a 4% of total gypsum 

I mixed it all up and added water now I'm leaving it for a few hours then I will drain excess water and pasturise

Been busy have not done my bulk substrate 

But here is some pictures

So their is this field close to me like 3min drive close it has a ton of horses and a few cows .

So i did the natural thing hopped the fence with a few bags with me i did not even make it 50m into the field and all my bags were full of shit . . .

Tonight is the night that I prepare my bulk substrate . . . If I am able to my roommate got us some changa 

Will post some pics of the jars tonight 

Oh and i took my contaminated jars and dumped them into a pot of compost lets see what happens

its sad to see contamination take over a jar but hey it is informative both jars still has some pans clinging to life i just want to see what will happen who will win the fight 

maybe you can develop a strain that will eat the contamination but that night change it make it poisoned 

but hey lets learn why not

update 7.948.46v3

lets do this 

mazapetec

transkei

mazapetec testing different location with this one

salvia leaves

pan cyan shook this one a little to break the top lump there is some blue brusing

Update on my first batch 2 jars are contaminated the other 2 still seems fine

I just use alcohol on it

Hi gnome.

I see rye berries, am i correct? do u use only rye, ever use the sorghum?

And the tyvek, where do u get it from, envelope, Hair net, painting overalls? looking for cheapest solution.

Yes I'm using rye berries I'm struggling to get the moisture right on the sorghum 

The tyvek I got from a suit I'm using the sleeves with my SAB a tyvek suit will last you a lifetime and I got mine for free from someone who works at a petrochemical plant you could ask at a hardware store they will most likely have

Where did you buy your mason jars? I can't find those things anywhere. I've been using jars that were previously used for foodstuffs (e.g. jam jars, peanut butter jars), they're not ideal...

You will find them in singles in most any supermarket but i got mine at westpack well any plastic store will have them 6packs usually goes for around 130

It's time to inoculate the second batch 

The first has started to show some growth of mycelium 

I made some changes on my lids i rtved some tyvek as reusable filters no need for micro pore tape now

What extra kak what are you going on about 

The extra kak like self healing injection ports 

Or gypsum 

Or is it the rye berries 

Or the pressure cooker 

Because that is what i am using what here is exstra kak 

And rye berries is way cheaper than popcorn

Thank you Gnome. for this man.... gonna follow.

Im very interested indeed, done a bit of research and will try my hands on it soon. prints on the way.

Please share insight on Products you use, where to source them, noob pointers so we dont spend money on useless stuff.

What type of grain you using? sorghum, wbs? any other?

And what do u use as substrate for ur monotubs? Any special secret recipe?

Keen to see the pasteurization process man. can i get away with not having a pressure cooker? those are expensive.

Pressure cooker is a must at least a 10l if you want to do grains 7 would be fine if you do pf tek 

But pf tek you can do with a steam sterilisation 

As my substrate I will use horse shit and vermiculite 1 to 1 and 4% gypsum

ok first you will need mason jars and you want to make self healing injection port on the lids 

i am using gasket maker

i been struggling to find rye berries but i think i found some 

and i did find some sorghum

and gypsum 

The pan cyan i will do in mini monotub

The rest i will do in monotubs

I'm doing grain spawn and not a pf tek

 

No idea what you just said, but i will google

Yeah the whole mycology culture has a language of their own 

It's quite interesting now that i think about it you can determine the interest level of someone by the vocabulary used 

Or I'm just really stoned

The pan cyan i will do in mini monotub 

The rest i will do in monotubs 

I'm doing grain spawn and not a pf tek

Howzit Gnome[/member]! I hope you'll show us the growing process step by step. I watched something on shrooms a while back on youtube. Interesting stuff.

 

How long does it take to cultivate? Is it strain dependent?

I will show step by step as I go along 

Cultivation takes different times colonisation usually takes about 2 weeks then another week or 2 for colonising the substrate then another week or two for pinning to start and a week or 3 before the next flush so on average it takes +-8 weeks 

But factors can change it 

And truffles takes about 3 months

10 cubensis spore syringes 1 liquid culture of pan cyan Goliath and a Mckennai agar plate what more do you want to know

Well it is a ancient psychic tandem war elephant 

If you knew more about it it won't be that mythical

i have been on the search for spores about 10 years when suddenly a magical mushroom fairy riding a mythical elacorn 

Came and shat some spores into my hand
