Java, you're the resident mushroom expert I hear .......

Considering that mushrooms put off so much CO2, would they make for a good companion to grow along side marijuana? I understand that the light requirements are substantially different, but could a box or something be used to keep the mushrooms mostly in the dark as they like while still reaping the benefits of the CO2 in a flowering room?

I want to start adding spawn to all my soil cooks. If they fruit, wonderful. If not, still doing good work in the soil :)

Started to trim my girls, do you guys think it's a good idea to say take your biggest buds off a plant first then let smaller ones try to get bigger? Does it really help, u usually wack it all off but this time just took my top colas and left all the lil budettes. Here's some photos , nothing special imo but smells good.

One of my all time favourites bro. Sativa the way it should be.

Hey Stow, glad to help.

I thought of the idea myself, and then found that there were also
sacks being sold online intended for this purpose....but, even as I
initially considered it, it does not seem to me that these will produce
enough CO2 to affect my environment.

You know, I never considered whether a number of them, used together
in a sealed environment, might be able to beat a set of plants at the
CO2 vs O2 game.

I vent to waste, as it were, and filter with carbon, drawing fresh air all the time.

I will totally support the adding spawn to soils idea. This thing is a lot of fun. :0)

I have gotten fruits of about 6-8 species in the pots of various
fruits and vegetables.

I have read that the garden giants, the King Stropharia, is a very good
species to assist growing plants. (Stropharia rugoso-annulata)

Speaking of spawn:

I am going to test some small spawn sack. I might try selling these
at the local farmers market. Well, the tigrinus is an experiment.
I have heard that it is delicious, if a tad delicate.

I will make some Pioppinos and a few others too.

Awesome gardening Java!

Stow, when do you harvest trich wise?

I just bit on some superoots air pots. My solo cups with holes have amazing root mass, so these have to be even better with the cone shaped sides. I'm thinking about dipping them in aerated water and letting them wick for a little while. Thoughts?

I harvest when I see the first amber starting to show up. That leaves me with
mostly cloudy.

this is almost 8 weeks and the trichomes are starting to get murky. She's likely coming down next weekend.:joint:

Do you go by amber on the leaves? I wish it all had consistent color. Cloudy leaves and calyxes...for extraction reasons.

I sampled so a 50/50 bodhi, and it got me soaring! I can't wait to try mostly cloudy.

Is it true trichs mature after you chop?

Looking good Stow.

Red: I'm not sure I know what you mean by "amber on the leaves". I'm talking about the color in the trichome head. I put a small flower sample under a 60x loop and take a peak every so often.

Im not 100% sure if trichomes continue to change, but I would imagine so. Oxidation will begin to convert THC-A in to THC so I would assume other biological processes continue for a period of time.

Mr H: thank you, and sorry to hear about the lung. Hopefully you're in tip-top shape come 4/20, but if not there are other ways of ingesting it. :-)

I'm referring to the sugar leaves turning amber before the calyxes. I have strains now that're turning amber on leaves and calyxes are still 1/3-1/2 clear.
