@Lady Cannafan I was wondering if you had a chance to try the cold inoculation?

No, I haven't had an opportunity yet. Mushrooms projects this week for sure. I have one final plant coming down in the next couple of days, then I'm free to trip-toe through the shrooms.

That's funny @Lady Cannafan
I will be doing another cold inoculation soon with Purple Mystic in a 32 oz. Rye grain jar. When I do it my temperatures are normally in the 50's some times a little lower. The funny things is I do better inoculating cold with no contamination; then with warm or room temperature that may aloud contaminate to flourish before the mycelium can get established.

Just took another look at that lingering plant, it's going to be a couple days yet. I do have a 4th flush of a few Purple Mystic and I think the Blue Meanies might give me a small 4th. They will be ready to pluck by this evening. When those are plucked, I'm going to mix up the substrate again and see if they take off again like they've done before. I took a cool pic with some created mist just for fun. It's on my Shroom room thread.

I will be inoculating a couple jars today, and one tomorrow; so, my son can take images of me doing cold inoculation. Wait until you see how confident I am in the process. Never had any kind of contamination this way with close to a dozen rye grain jars and spore in temperatures below 60 degrees.

Time to update this one also.
Blue Yeti is spend with three harvest periods and I don't think I am going to dunk it. I want to use these two cakes for mixing into the soil of an upcoming grow. A+ and Bull Run had two harvest and are ready for a dunk which will be happening today.
Here are some images from the other day.
That's all folk's.
Stay safe and grow well my friends,
Tok..
edit: I need to get a couple more strains started soon.

That A+ mycelium is tripped out, @Tokin Roll ! Talk about rhizomorphic... it looks like some kind of electrical arc discharge. Super cool!

Have you heard the Spores Genetic and Midwest Grow Kits are no longer sponsors?

I hadn't noticed, Tok. I guess they weren't getting enough response to justify the cost. That's too bad.

I just found out a couple days ago, but your right on the return.
I need to slow down on growing them anyways.
I have about nine full jars of varies ones.

Yea, by the time my 2 monotubs and the AIO are done, I'll have enough to last the rest of my life, lol. It's a fun hobby but growing pot is my 1st love and I can't afford to do both. I do want to try some wood lovers, like shitake and wavy caps.

I know exactly what you mean @BeccaBuds I will be getting more prints for the future.
I will still be doing dairies occasionally, just not as many. Too much work for the traffic I get in my threads.
Here are some current images.
That's all folks.

I will be transferring Purple Mystic into substrate today. The Maui Platinum still has about a week to go before shake and break. I will be drying out the four tubs I am currently using, to make way for something else.

I decided not to rehydrate Blue Yeti, A+ and Bull Run. I just have too many for me to rehydrating these cakes again.
I still have Purple Mystic colonizing the CVG substrate.
I will post some images soon.

She coming around the mountain when she comes.
Purple Mystic is currently pinning so a couple more days for these.
Oh yaa, the Maui Platinum will be going into CVG substrate as soon as I make some.
I use the last I had made up in a larger container for Purple Mystic.
I will try to get an image of the pinning.

Finally got around to making some CVG substrate.
Currently Purple Mystic is in fruiting mode and doing well. I used a 14 quart mono-tub this time because the small 7 quart shoebox was just to small and tight when they are in the fruiting stage.
I also transferred Platinum Maui to substrate in and 14 qt. tub. I expect to have pinning in about 10 to 14 days.
Here are some current images.

Wow Tok! Nice shroom journal.
I must admit I miss growing shrooms. Life has been busy lately and I have more than enough shrooms to last a long time. Tough part is finding friends who still want to indulge. Damn I'm getting old.
Anyway I enjoyed your journal. Happy tripping and have a great Thanksgiving.

Thank you for stopping by and your kind words @Ramblinrose1965
I finished up the Purple Mystic and now I am fruiting Maui Platinum. I know what you mean about having too many shrooms. That and not getting much interest in my dairy is making me take a break. It just seems like I am talking to myself; so, I will probably take a break until after the holiday season.
I will be cutting back on my grow journals also, but I did promise another member a DWC scrog grow to help him with his DWC grow.

I wrapped this one up a tad to soon; I forgot I had some Maui Platinum growing. MP is currently in fruiting stage and I already got some prints for future use.
Here are some current images over the last couple weeks.
Notice the substrate
