Thundercat's Groooooooow

[Thundercat]

(This is his girlfriend.) Alright, they just started to kick in about 10 minutes ago. Nothing intense yet, just sort of a very high feeling. I ate 4g of caps and about another 5g of aborts 20 minutes later.

Here are some pictures of the first half of the harvest. The rest should be ready tomorrow I think.

The first picture is the rest of the tray after we picked the ones that were ready.

Wow those are really fuckin awesome lookin. Good job TC! jesus those fuckers look tasty as all hell, lol. Gimme a trip report whenever you guys come back to earth


If i knew how the new damn setup worked, id +rep the shit out of ya, if theres even still a way to do that anymore, n if itll let me do it again yet, lol. Reguardless man, dont need to click a mouse to earn props in my book anyways man. Maaaaad respect!

 

[Kushcrosser]

lol its pretty tempting

are caps supposedly more potent them stems?
i thought it was all the same

The caps are more potent, but not by much. When I get home, I will check into it...the book I have tells the amount of Psil in caps compared to stems

cool thanks kush

Well the rest of the tray was wide open and ready to pick when I got home from work. I'll throw up a couple more pics, and get a weight here in a few minutes. I just picked all the aborts off the tray, and its in the fridge floating in water. I'm gonna re case it tonight. I will also post a couple pics of the burmas, they are growing a bit now, not tons, but a couple. For some reason the caps I cut last night didn't leave prints, I don't know if its cus I put them in the fridge, so i pulled them out, and I'll leave them sit out, and see i they print. I'm also gonna cut several more from this batch and try to print them.

Hey Isis, thanks for stopping by. I left a post on your thread earlier. Your plants are looking awesome!


Well guys I harvested the other half of my tray today like I said earlier. I have to say I am more then happy with the outcome. Final weight on everything wet was 322.4g, plus the 11 half dollar size caps I am trying to print! I figure about 330, maybe 335g. That includes 14g of 1/2inch tall aborts( their a snack for a rainy day) But all in all if it drys up, and I even get only 28g I will totally be happy with that for a first flush. We set aside about 65g for newyears. I might eat my print caps, I gotta see what they weigh. I stuck the ones for newyears in the fridge, and the rest are on paper towel, on a drying screen. The ones in the picture not on the paper towel, on the screen are from yesterday. I also threw in a couple pics of the burmas, theres a few of them poppin up. Maybe they will be less, but be huge? Any way, heres the pics.

By the way, do I post to many pics? Does it load slow for you guys? It loads fine for me,but I was thinking about it earlier.

Also Kush I was wondering something earlier. Could I flip the myc over in the tray when I recase, and then case the clean underside of the myc? WOuld it fruit from that side? It was just a thought, I thought maybe there would be fresh food on the bottom, or something. The myc really shrunk in the tray very drastically.

Oh I also put the bottle of water in my FC with an air hose in it. I used one of my mason jars, and put the air hose in one of the holes in the lid. Then I put micro pore tape over the other holes to quiet it down a little, it sounded like a constant bong it. But I think it is gonna be sweet, I can kinda smell it working,just outside the poly fill. No more worries about fanning them!

 

[K1Ng5p4d3]

WOW dude. fuckin A, lol. That looks like way more than an oz for sure man, and ive gone through quarter lbs of fungus at a time. - id say you probably have 2 oz at least there man. I wouldnt say quote me for sure, but thats gotta be at LEAST 2 oz. you said what again? like 300+ grams wet? 56g dry without breakin a sweat id say bro. Gimme a shout on that trip report man. N did you eat any wet?? Thats one thing im not suure about cuz ive never eaten fresh, wet shrooms. When we used to flick n pick back in the day wed always, ALWAYS let them dry out first, but ive heard from some people that fresh shrooms are better, and i wish that ida tried some wetness at least once, lol. LEMME KNOW HOW THE TRIP IS MAN!!! lol, damn sorry for screamin there, got carried away for a second. Its been years since ive even given shrooms a second thought.


Reguardless man, i give ya two thumbs up once again, a must read for anyone wantin to get into mushroom cultivation. Apparently the rep system is still active, but i dont have a fuckin clue how to use it now, lol, so if you know how lemme know n ill rep ya

-K1

 

[Thundercat]

Lol King I don't have a clue either on the rep thing. Thanks for all the props man. We have eaten them fresh before, its supposed to be a differant trip, I look forward to learning that differance with all my strains I know last time I ate them fresh I tripped face, thats for sure. We are saving some of these in the fridge to be fresh for newyears. And King if you never know what can be made happen if you really want to try them fresh!!

 

[Kushcrosser]

I have never tried flippin the trays, but there is always a once for everything!

Lookn

 

[jollygreengiant8]

somewhere in all this reading and research I've read that you don't want to flip the myc over, you want to keep it in the same position but I don't remember there being any real reason behind that claim.

I say youve got a nice harvest already, maybe try it on one...maybe on a 3rd flush
just to see what happens ya know

 

[twistedentities]

yeah dude, dont flip the myc....have u grown azurenceans b4? if not u gotta try it...i did some indoors and strted them outside...reallly potent shrooms, supposed to b the strongest in the magic group....and they will gro well in most woods even in the snow!

I plan on trying to grow some azures at some point. I want to get the cubensis down pat, before I start playing with the wood lovers. I've heard the same about the azures, I'd also like to try some cyans.

I didn't flip the tray, I was just wondering if it could increase the second, or third flush. I might try it for the third if I don't get contams on the second. I keep getting some weird growth on the corner of the burma tray. I thought it was mold cus it had green in the center of it the other day. I took it out, and cleaned the area with H202, but it was back today. I looks like white growth, but not really like myc I don't think. It didn't have any green today. I took it back out again, we'll see what happens. Several of the burmas have only gotten about an inch tall, then aborted, the caps looked like they collapsed on them selves. Some of them look fine though. I'm kinda dissapointed with the burmas so far. I was really hoping for more action from them. I had 5 pints of myc in that tray. Seems like a big waste so far.

I do think I am going to use 4-5 pints for sure next time with the KS, maybe get an even better yeild. I weighed them again today, cus they had dried alot over night. I have them on a screen. I also weighed the 11 caps I took prints from. ( the prints turned out good on the caps from yesterday, but still very weak on the caps from sunday)
The caps weighed in at 24.2g, a bit more then I thought actually. The rest of the mushrooms weighed in at 47g, so I might end up with 30-35, cus there doesn't feel like there is much more water in them. lol

Though, that 47g also doesn't include the 60g of wet mushrooms in the fridge we seperated for new years. I'm pretty pleased.

i like the cubes they werre fun to gro, i llived in fl in the panhandle and bought a house that came with a cow field and cows..holy crap dude! we had some frkn shrooms! we strted a growing area that was 50 ft x 50 ft and at times it was packed! trashbags full...lol...i found the best way to do them was to make liquid psyl...we got it down to a couple drops and you were gone...u like the azurs, they are a blast to gro and do...never had much luck with the burmas..

 

[Thundercat]

Thats sweet you guys had such a nice grow going. That was outdoors in the field I take it? How did you set that up, did you inject the cow patties, or did they just grow naturally? I really want to get more weight going, I may add a second FC, so I can fruit 4 trays at a time. I obviously havn't been having much success with the burmas either. I don't know how far you read in the thread, but the funny thing is the burmas colonized real fast! Now they are just slacking.
