Looks sweet man. I spray the mold down with bleach, and then remove it from the tray, and then clean the area I removed from, and around it with peroxide. It seems to hold the mold off for about 3 days, which usually lets the tray finish the flush its on. I hate to toss it early if its got half a tray of mushrooms. This is also the fourth flush off that tray. I got over an once off each of the other three flushs. The only ones I havn't gotten oz flushs from were the burmas, and the south americans. The SA were close, but they were also much larger mushrooms, I had one that weighed about 7g dried. Its been fun for sure. I'm about to make a tray of ereals up, and put it into my second FC I just made. I'm hoping to have 4 trays at a time going within the next 2 weeks. I've got about 25-30 jars in my incubator right now. I'm having a little trouble with them colonizing, they were all myc transfered. I'm gonna be making up a couple syringes to shot some more jars this week. I may also order a couple of the presteralized 3.5 lb bags of rye. I was thinking about trying them out, and maybe getting a few more syringes at the same time.

Cool I'll have to try rinsing them with a mild peroxide wash. My grow is not pro like yours. I'm just letting the cakes do what they will, all I used was whole brown rice too. Let me know how those rye bags work out. :peace:

I will, I just ordered 4 of them, and 3 new syringes too. We'll see how it goes. All the syringes I got are supposed to be contam resistant, and high yeilding. I got john allens, hawaiians, and a hybrid called alacabenzi, I'm calling them "beniz".

I got them from spores101.com, it was recommended to me by a friend. I'm taking all my used trays from this winter, and planting them in a week or two. I don't know if they will come up, but maybe. I put them out in my garage when I was done with them, so I figured the frost should have killed the mold that was on them.

I was looking into getting the John Allen strain, but now that I'm looking at alacabenzi I think that will be my choice. I'm a first time shroom grower.

Thanks Hydrotech, that was the first flush of this whole recent project. That was about 380g of Koh Samoi mushrooms they never made it to being dried,lol. I highly recommend the Koh Samoi to anybody looking at growing some. This is the second time I have grown shrooms, the last time was just one batch. They were pretty sweet, some "blue meanies".

Lame dude I ordered from spores101 and never got my order:evil: I contacted them but they never responded.

That sounds like a good idea, mushroom mycelium is very resilient.:peace:

Are you going to be getting the p. cubebsis strain of blue meanie or the other more popular one? I was looking into the blue meanies as well! I can't decide! Are the 'effects' really that different from strain to strain? I've heard no, but I'm not sure. I guess I'm just looking for ones that are contam resistant, heavy yeilders, and will get me tripping balls! :hump:

Well commie the "blue meanies" I had were cubes, not cyans. The cyans from my understanding are very hard to grow indoors. I had wanted to try growing some cyans, and some azures untill I read about how difficult they are to get to fruit. Personally from my experiance withthe "blue meanies", they were potent, but slow colonizing, and not a huge yeild, but they also weren't growin in the type of conditions I have now, it was a ghetto grow, lol. In the last 3 months I've grown burmas, koh samoi, South americans, and ereal (from russia) The Koh samoi have been the highest yeilding, and most contam resistant so far. They are also a great trip. Of the strains I've tryed they all have a slightly differant type of trip. Some have better visuals, some will put you in your head all night thinking about shit. I believe this is what some people refer to as the "Mind fuck" quality of shrooms. I'm hoping to be able to get a strain called penis envy, its supposed to be one of the most potent cube strains. But it doesn't drop many spores, so its kinda hard to find spores, or syringes for it.

New growth I truely hope that doesn't happen to me with my order. I'd be furious right now, I don't have the extra money to me throwing around. I'm counting on those spores!! You mentioned hawkeye, have you ordered from them? Were the spores good? I'm open to new options for the future, I remember I liked hawkeyes website last time I was there.

Ah yes, I know about penis envy. Discovered by the late, great Terence McKenna. I hear the visuals on those are intense, stronger than acid. I'd like to try some of those out! I've done shrooms a bunch of times, just never grown them, and I have no idea what the strains were I've done. What would you recommend getting for a newb shroom grower? Remember, I also want something with great visuals & mind fuckery! haha

I grow the B+ strain..pretty happy with it, grows easily, good sized caps, drops loads of spores. It's got a nice harmony of both visuals and mind fuck and makes your body feel like goo.

B+ is the only strain I've grown so I can't really compare it to others but it gets the job done.

Check out entheogenics and shpongle for some good tripping music
I haven't tripped and listened to this yet, but listening to it sober makes me want to trip so I can only imagine what it would do to your brain

see for yourselves http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5b0S8oYpL4

Well hawkeye is prolly where I'll get the envy from then! I'm glad to hear they have it, its been awhile since I have been on their site.

Commie, I havn't grown b+ but I've heard the same things that JG said. Its supposed to be a good beginner strain. As I've said before, I recommend Koh Samoi to everyone. They have great visuals, and depending on your mood, plenty of mindfuck. I've had many trips off that strain in the last 3 months, and it has impressed me everytime!

Thats what I like to hear. I;m waiting until this summer to grow, because I feel the temps will be kept more in check with the warmer weather outside anyway. I'll do a grow journal as well for it!
