anyone notice the swirling pattern of the stems?

Hmmmm...

What causes this peeps?

[I know why, just asking if peeps are aware of a basic truth with the mush]

To help the spores distribute?

Yes, the mush grow away from the wind flow, always, nothing to do with light.

Very interesting. I understand that some mushrooms instinctively bend their stems to help distribute spores.

You may be right also, they are hard to define as to purpose.....

I'm sure the 'spiral' effect is all because of the air flow. It wouldn't be quite as noticeable in the wild though. LOL

thanks for all the info choempi, i,ve got 3 monotubs going, spawned about a week ago, almost time to check

10 days should be good, then 2-3 days knotts , 3-5 days pins, 7-10 days pick first flush

Just in a room with some air movement and a indirect window ( I shade my area with half blinds on a window).

Trust the tek and let the tub do the work, only open the tub when you pull it to drop co2 level, after that, the tub is complete if tek is followed.

Guys, there are easier ways to keep your RH up around 95 and still keep your Co2 down, really, I've got a couple of cheap solutions for you if you want.

what are you talking about?

I never use a hygrometer, open the tub once, never mist, ambient light, never case, 17 days from spawn to mature fruit in bulk...

Please expound on your cheaper and easier way...

Well hell, then my way is certainly not easier than yours, shut my mouth. I thought people were fanning and opening and warming and such.

the only thing choempi doesn't do that i would, is case. if for nothing else, aesthetic value.. but i'd be just as happy with what he gets from his with out casing

Can I sub worm castings for hpoo?

Nvm ill just use hpoo.

I thought you were mistaken, this is as simple as it gets

When I use something other than straw I use worm castings - they work pretty well for me.

And here I thought I had a chance to be a big hero and everything.

I grow panamas, cloned, and their environment is very conducive to this tek, just google the environment these thrive, due to the coastal mountains these grow best in a moderate humid enviro, temperate as like mid 70sF, but load the humid!

I should tell peeps, when you spawn this tek it is not at field capacity, but at a just less then total capacity, very important part built into the tek. The wbs will rip it up and will produce fast as fuck, being that proper wbs is a bit dry at spawn. Trust me. Tip the bucket upside down and drain, but do not squeeze to spawn, it is a wet sub!

Awesome thread and tek sir. A bit more research and a few more items to acquire and I'll be ready. Thank you sir!

good luck, and ask qs if you have them

Will this wbs be ok? They had about 10 different kinds but this looked closest to yours.
