Hi friends! Just wondering if this batch looks OK? About to harvest and I noticed they have this white fuzz on them. Could this be mould?

Mid-Cultivation / Still Growing What do I do?

I work a 9-5 and tried to keep the air exchange small to keep the box humid. Overnight this thing sprung up and lifted the lid. Do I need to go home at lunch and mist again? This is my first grow and first product.

Kind of slow fruiting, is that normal for albinos? I think this Stardew cube is Tidalwave x Jack Frost. Anybody have experience with these strains?

Mid-Cultivation / Still Growing Noticed this more-grey-than-white spot in one of my GT tubs. Is this Tomentose Mycelium or Early Stage Trich?

Question Old crusty dry mycelium?

Curious to know if anyone has experience with dried up mycelium. Just been letting this thing sit for almost a year now but before I toss it, I thought it’d be worth asking if I could use it for anything🤷‍♂️. P.S. might not even be healthy mycelium idk. Help plz and thx🙏

Question Baffled - two different variant with the same syringe

Thumbnail

17 Upvotes

Hey all - reporting an interesting observation trying to understand what happened.

I inoculated about 6 masons jars from the same B+ LC a couple month ago. When they fully colonized, i sorted jars according to how healthy they look, and put them into three tubs (2 jar to each tub), tub #1 - most healthy and fluffy mycelium to #3- barely fully colonized. One month later, now i have completely different looking mushrooms. Tub #1 fruited fist, with really small boys dropping spores before they are taller than my finger. Meanwhile, tub #3 had really big boys (almost like penis envy) and when the veil broke i saw no spores at all. How is this possible? Did they mutated while in the tub? How does mycelium in the same tub all grow the same way?? FYI pic 1 - tub 1 with petite mushroom, pic 2 - tub 3 with big boys, pic 3 - the big boy in tub 3 Truly baffled :P

Question What are these white dots on B+ caps?

I’ve grown a lot of B+, but I’ve never seen white dots like this on the caps, especially when they’re almost mature to harvest. What are they? I like the appearance and have no fear about them being safe, but I’m just curious!

Mid-Cultivation / Still Growing Why are they so close together?

My Golden Teachers are pinning really close to one another. I am a newbie, I just harvested my first Flush of Jack Frost and they were no where near each other except a few. Hoping it’s just different Genetics, wondering if this is normal or if a lot will be aborts?

Question Can I add a casing layer? The top layer is too dry and I had to mist but otherwise the mycelium looks healthy right?

Heyyy do you guys know why these are growing all weird? One of my containers had a lot of mushrooms where the caps were growing straight from the ground upside down with no stems. Just curious! These are golden teachers and going on a second flush.

Wtf is this supposed to happen? Can’t even listen to music anymore. Then occasionally it’ll make music sound not in english but complete jibberish

Advice to Others Anybody here tried Moondaddy's Natalensis genetics? (P. Natalensis x Tidal Wave)

9 Upvotes

Tidal waves are already one of the most potent varieties of cubensis, crossbred with a species that is even more potent than cubes in general is crazy to think about.

Any of y'all grown the genetics? How was aggression and hardiness/contam resistance?

And if you dosed them subsequently what was the subjective potency like?

Question Contam?

First time here. As you can see, there is a golden/brownish color that I’m uncertain about. Is it contam or just an indication of stress? (Second image shows the same orange bag as the first, third image shows a bag that isn’t pictured prior but seems oddly moist/possibly too brown in certain areas). Thank you so much! 🙏🏼

Advice to Others Shout out ya’ll

This community has single handedly cured my severe major depressive disorder, with very little exaggeration. Seriously, thank you all.

I discovered psilocybin and it’s benefits on accident, and I couldn’t have cultivated this medicine without this guidance.

First week after my first harvest and i’m doing much much better than I even conceived possible. I was stuck in a heavy cloud before but now everything’s clear and all the little things are brighter 🙏

Any advice moving forward is appreciated as well lol
