Nice one Cats. Thick fluff.

 

Here how my "crap shoot" LC is doing with the Cambodian variety, inoculated/germinated on the 23rd. I am pouring dishes in a few to test whether it's clean, even though it looks clean enough. Hope to put it to rye next week.

Love this thread but I have nothing to contribute that would be on topic really. I'm only 5 months in. But wait, I have my first Mazatapek fruiting right now.

This is from spore syringes I purchased 5 months ago. Took me that long to get the Matazapek growing. Not the five months of course. Made a couple of cakes from it, but they didn't fruit and I had to toss them one after another.

Now I'm glad I did persist in trying once more.  Hope this is a good strain and they trip the typical mexican way. In case they are good I may clone them and post again here for the results.

Now I'm hooked. Sitting here next to 15 fresh cooked agar plates, cloning ...

Update! Cambo rhizo porn! Germed on 4/20/20

Did some T2 transfers of my NSS multispore yesterday. Will be a while until we see fruits but at least the NSS mycelium is by far the most aggressive I've worked with in my short amateur mycology career. I'll post some pics of the plates in a week or so when there's something to see.

I'm spawning my Cambodian today or tomorrow. Have got twelve of these:

 

 

Not all jars are fully white as you can see in the pic but all grains are reached by the mycelium so it's good to go. Used almost all of my LC on these jars: 48 cc of it. It's about 4.2 liters of spawn. Will add it to 5 liters of coco+verm. Going all in. Hoping for the best!

 

I'm not sure about this but this first time Cambodian grow might be my last one I start up before a break. It's becoming too much work to keep this going.

Thanks to an amazing individual, my FOAFOAFOAF has Golden Teacher sprouted and growing happily. Apparently this was the cleanest print he has ever seen. There was 0 contamination on agar, BRF cake or grain jar, probably could've gone straight to LC.

So I do have an update on my Natal Super Strength... ran MS on agar and did a few transfers and put a T4 to grain and into a mono. Took 5 days to look like snow with an almost complete overlay. I then gave it a thick casing and introduced it to fresh air and light. It fruited but didn't do too well. The fruits are much prettier than my first attempts at growing it but i've definitely got some work still to do on isolating something that doesn't do the crazy overlay thing. Have a small dubtub going of the same T3 and haven't gotten fruits off of it yet but experimented with a scrape of the overlay a few days ago to see how it responds. 

Here are some photos

This was the tub after 5 days of colonization - 4quarts spawn, 10quarts coir/verm sub

7 days after adding a coir/verm casing of about an inch thickness

Pins 3 days after the above photo

A few nice fruits have come from this one but haven't got much bulk

A few other photos of the grow

 

I'll update this again when I've managed to get something going without the 'snow' but keeping the insane aggressiveness
