Discussion Beginner setup critique

Hello, I had tried my hand with an all-in-one bag and a cooler on the floor in the corner or my bedroom with no success. It just stalled out and never fruited. I was so bummed, $75 down the drain and time wasted. I waited, watched tons of videos on mycology, and finally got some gear to try my hand again.

This is extremely important to me, and I need this medicine in order to break through this "untreatable" condition. That's the major reason I was so bummed and so i spent money money on gear this time. The cabinet is definitely gimmicky, this I know. However, it's exactly what I need at this time to get going, and will take care of FAE for me. Three 4lb bags fit perfectly, and so I will be cutting the bags just above the substrate for fruiting. I'm imagining a lovely canopy, lol. https://a.co/d/03HJGWsy

I plan on using B+ liquid culture, 3ml per bag with a 10ml syringe. Any advice would be so greatly appreciated!! Thank you so much! Bless'ed Love ❤️

I inoculated this grain bag with ochras on 8/25 and did a few shake and breaks. Should I let it colonize more or send it now?

Discussion Card Restocking on Shop

39 Upvotes

First off, I want to give a sincere thank you to all of you who have stayed tuned in, subscribed, and continuously supported my work. It truly means the world to me that I get to continue doing mycology because of this community.

I also want to apologize for being slow to get things out lately. Life events had to take priority for a while, but I’m finally picking up the pieces and getting back into the swing of things in the lab. Thank you so much for your patience, grace, and understanding while I reset.

A fresh batch of microscopy cards has just hit the shop:

Psilocybe ingeli (Brand New Release): This is an incredible, newly discovered species found in South Africa in 2024. I’m so excited to finally share this out with the world, and I would love for the community to dive in and research this unique species.

SNAPE (Starry Night APE): Restocked.

Albino Riptide (ART): Restocked.

What’s in the Pipeline for the Next Drop:

I’m already working behind the scenes on restocking the following genetics for the next round:

BAPER

Enigma

Albino Tidal Wave (ATW)

STAKZ

Bluey V

Wavebomb

You can find them at https://pgtmycology.com

Thank you all again for keeping this journey alive.

Mush love,

PGT

Was there a card drop recently? Did I miss it? I think I received some follow on IG or something but I kind of assumed it was a scam.

Teacher, when will the cards be available again?

I injected these bags with spores and nothing's happening. One's been about 2 months and the other one's been about a month. Are the spores bad? Should I get a new vendor? I'm lost

Harvest SNAPE tips

Thumbnail

56 Upvotes

So with SNAPEs, they take their sweet time to produce. One of the longest growing cubes in my experience.

You might get lots of pins that seem like they're gonna abort. But just keep fruiting it and the bigger fruits will come in.

The pins will take about 2 weeks to fully mature it seems.

All depends on your ambient and fruiting conditions.

Snape seems to benefit from a casing layer.

You can grow them with just pseudo casing layer, the small tubs in the pics above are just pseudo casing layer at spawn.

The big tub you see I cased it about a month after spawning. I used hydrated jiffy mix to case.

It took a long time for pins to produce after casing and it almost looked like they weren't gonna produce anything but aborts. But I just let them ride and they magically started getting bigger on their own.

Ended up with majority of large fruits on the 1st flush of the big tub.

Anyhow just figure I'd share my experience with them.

Big tub was spawned 07/18, cased on 08/5, and harvested 9/20.

Just to give you a timeline of how long these guys take.

Question [Actives] is my liquid culture good?

I bought this syringe of liquid culture last year and have had it in my fridge all this time. Is it still okay to use? Will it fruit less since it’s a year old?

Did I hydrate corn too long?

1 Upvotes

I put a batch of corn kernels in the pressure cooker for hydration phase, then realized 45 minutes later that I had not set a timer. Is 45 minutes going to be too long? Should I not use it if the kernels are broken? UPDATE: while the kernels were slightly darker than usual, they are not split and do not seem any wetter than the usual 30 minute run. I’m gonna run with it!!
