AIO vs DIY Monotub: Purple Mystic Takes On Blue Meanie Cubes

[BeccaBuds]

Woot woot indeed!

The Purple Mystic mycelium is hella vigorous; measured the temp of the 2 grain bags and the PM-X is running several degrees warmer and you can see much more condensation on the inside of the grain bag. Because it's running a little slower I decided to wait and let the BMC thicken up before "planting" it.

I also checked the temperature in the Purple Mystic AIO; around the top it reads around room temperature but the bottom is 86.1F! There's so much condensation I could not get a decent photo through the bag. Removed the binder clip and did an air exchange. I see a lot of little bumps on the surface of the media that could be pins, but can't see them clearly enough to say for sure.

Good Morning @BeccaBuds

How have you been doing? Good, I hope.
I need to get some Pan Cyan spores and give it another go.
The first time I tried I wasn't prepared, I think I am ready now, but Blue Mystic is next on the list for this diary.

Currently I have Blue Yeti LC and A+ fruiting and pinning.
So, I am in standby mode and get ready for harvesting.

Stay safe and grow well my friend,
Tok..

Hey Tok! Doing well, today my second bag of compost substrate should arrive and both the BMC and the PM-X grain bags look ready to go so today I'll "plant" them both. The PM AIO looks ready to start producing any time, so I'm checking it daily.
I saw your shroom diary- looking good and healthy.
U stay well & safe, too!

Substrate day! 26 days after inoculating the Blue Meanie Cubes and 24 days after for the Purple Mystic-X-periment, both 3 pound grain bags have been mixed with 5 pounds each of Dung Loving Mushroom Substrate from MushroomSupplies.com. Performed another FAE on the AIO, WOO HOO
Should start seeing some pins in the tubs within a couple weeks. AIO could be anytime.

Amazing! In the grain, the Purple Mystic was more aggressive. Now in substrate, the Blue Meanie is just taking off. The growth in both after just 2 days is phenomenal. Cool!

Substrate temperature = 80.7F

Substrate temperature = 80.8F
Ambient = 78F​

I love watching that white fuzziness just cover the whole top and start pinning.

Looks healthy! I’ve been dosing on the blue meanies lately. Love them

It really is amazing seeing how fast the mycelium grows. The All-In-One is pinning now- fruit very soon.

The first batch displayed a lot of bluing and was really potent. I also like that they seemed to open in the afternoon so catching them before the veil breaks was easier. Purple Mystic seems to like opening in the dark, just the opposite.

I think I can see some shrooms in the AIO. Here's photos for the day:
