The Shroom Room With Lady Cannafan

Well, I think I finally see some action in the Tidal Wave Ben's bag. That was a long wait. Not a whole lot, but there's definitely some growth in there.

Pan Cyan in the Ben's bag is slowly coming along. Very slowly. I sure hope I can actually get a shroom from this strain this time. Everything I've read says this is a tricky one to grow. I think @Tokin Roll had some luck with it, maybe he'll stop in and rub some of that off here. ;-)

Maui Platinum still has a whole lot of nothing going on in the Ben's bag.

The Golden Teacher bag has been mixed into substrate and is now in the shroom tent. I saw fuzzies on the top within a day, so fingers crossed that one is going to do well too.

Both the Blue Meanie and Purple Mystic substrates are going wild with growth on the top layer.

It's getting chilly at night here, so the little heat lamp in the grow tent is on and maintaining about 76 degrees F.

Now I just need to remember when to give them light.
 
People who know me, understand that I like to include my high and trippy goodies into foods.
I've tried a lot of combinations, some work really well and some are just so-so.
BUT, I can say there is one thing that absolutely did NOT work. I went on a suggestion from one of my Psilocybin books that had a small recipe section, and decided "what the hell, why not give it a try?"

If anyone ever suggests to any of you shroom heads to make magic mushroom jello...... (yes, I said jello)

Don't. Just don't.

It. was. awful. :confused: 🤣
 
It's a good thing I hadn't planned on being away from home today. The remaining shrooms are opening up one at a time today, and I have to keep going in there to pluck. I've got 14 really nice size this morning.

Still no pinning on the Blue Meanie, but it looks good.

The Golden Teacher substrate doesn't look all that great, but I will give it time. It's covered with a towel to keep it dark. I had zero luck with that one on the previous attempt.

Pan Cyan is still in the rice bag, not sure on that one either because it's yellowish color, but I'll let it go some more.

Tidal Wave is a bust in the bag. Tossing that one today, there is no mycelium at all after over a month and a second inoculation a couple weeks ago.

Purple Mystic is on the ball!

Picked my first bunch this morning, almost too late. My shrooms seem to grow to picking stage in the middle of the night. :laughtwo: You can see the one in the back far left dropped spores on the container wall.

Uh....noooooo....
Good thing I didn't heed your warning, or I would have had a shoebox full of black spores. :rofl: :rofl:

Good morning and how is it going @Lady Cannafan

When I tried to cultivate Pan Cyan I used a multi grain jar. To make a long story short; the pan cyan never completely colonized the grain more than about 30 % and it was very slow getting there. I did a shake and break but it did not help. I ended up with a golf ball size piece of mycelium and in the end I ended up with wet mold. Total time was around 60 days.

Hope this helps.

I'm pretty much experiencing the same problem. I am about to go in and check the rice bag this morning, but I feel it's going to look about the same.
I've read over and over that this is a hard one to get right, I believe them. LOL

I finished up the first flush of Purple Mystic, now awaiting a hopefully second one.
The Blue Meanie still isn't pinning, although it looks fine. I would have to go back in my last shroom journal and see how long that took before.

Thanks for popping in, and I'll be watching your progress too. :)
Hope your wife is well?
 
Most people I know who grow Pans they do spores to agar first. Once you get strong growth on the agar plate slice it up and put it in a quart jar of grain. Once that jar gets close shake/break. Recover and then put to bulk. Many people when they do this they have several jars of grain waiting and do a grain to grain transfer. I did it with cubensis all the time. It's really nice especially if you get a really aggressive mycelium going. On a grain to grain I've seen jars fill up quickly. Would love to see you get your Pan Power goin on!! Happy Sunday!! 😎✌️🎶
 
2nd round of shrooms has started in the Purple Mystic box, and we have pinning finally in the Blue Meanie! :cheer:

And now the bad news.....
the Golden Teacher substrate wound up with trichoderma in one corner of the box. I haven't given up, but it has been placed in another area of the house away from the shroom tent. I removed the area of Trichoderma and sprayed the surface lightly with Iso. I will keep my fingers crossed, but I have no high hopes for this one.
I'm going to be ordering some AIO bags this week, and next month I will be making my own. It's going to be a "fruitful" winter no matter what!

:slide:Well of course they opened up overnight. They ALWAYS open up during the wee hours when I'm sleeping. LOL
Anyway, I plucked 16 more nice Purple Mystic this morning. They are in the heatless dehydrator now.

Should be seeing pluckworthy Blue Meanie's in a couple days.

I noticed that too, LC. Purple Mystics veil breaks at 2:00AM, and Blue Meanie Cubes seem to break at 2:00PM.

So, is it darkness that triggers the veil to break on this strain? Hmmmm....🤔
I'm going to research that a bit.

The Blue Meanie's are coming along, they are just shy of half inch tall.
