Seeing all the different varieties out there for sale is awesome, but what I am curious about is the preferred choice by those more experienced cultivators out there?

how far down on the cake do you pick?  Ive seen pictures with clusters that are sort of a large lump of white/stalk etc where several stalks come out to form fruits.

so do you cut them out or pull them off the cake??

anyone have any techniques or methods to best save the cake for the subsequent flushes?

THanks

Good to hear, so how much do you mist and how long do you cover, do you leave it in the FC the whole time?

Pardon my inexperience and newbieness.

So when you crumble your cakes into a Fruiting container and cover with a casing, after your first fruiting harvest, what do you do to get it prepared for the first flush?  Since it is not in cake form you cant dunk it, so do you spray it down with water, cover and then put back into incubater for a day?  or do you cover and leave at room temp for a few days?

If its in cake form and you have several cakes covered in casing, you just remove the casing and dunk in water 12-24 hours then recover with casing, should that casing be new sterile casing or can you use the old casing?

Thanks

Hell all,  just wondering if it makes a difference at what time to harvest the fruits of your labor. 

Does it matter if the caps are still attached to veil or fully bloomed?
Does it make a difference in ptncy

Do you pick all at once or select only the biggest ones until they have all bloomed?

Just curious on any suggestions or preferences.
Thanks

I'm sorry but that was just plain dumb.  I mean when you get itchy balls its because of fungus, why would you want to purposely put stuff that makes your balls itch in your eye?

Im not so sure on the conversations I have seen.  SO when you say crumbling your cakes, you mean once the mycelium has grown and is close to fruiting in a jar, you crumble them and spread them in a case and ad a casing layer over that, let it sit fora  few more days and then fruit? 

so how do you do a second flush if it is crumbled, do you still put the mix in water and then filter it and set it back in its case?

Im confused.

are there any good written recipes or video tutorials for bulk?

Just curious as to how long a properly stored syringe with water and spores can last?

Anyoehave any first hand experience with stored syringes?  not just hearsay.

This is so much bullshit.  What it really comes down to is the tobacco and alcohol companies really hate competition, and will find any excuse to get its government patsies to shut down the competition.

I hope the charges get thrown out and i hope they dont take his records and start looking at the people that bought from them (me).

I bought some papaver somniferum seeds a while back

Thanks for all the help and tips, but I still feel dumb.  So when you say dunk the cakes, are you saying that once the first flush has been picked off the cake, you soak them in water for 10 hours and then place the cake back in teh tank for a 2nd fruiting??

Unless you held the tip of the needle under the flame you should be able to clean the soot off with rubbing alcohol.  The black soot is carbon residue from the flame and is only on the outside.  so rubbing it off should work.

If some of the flame got inside the tip then you might have a problem.

so can you or should you actually scrape the surface of the cakes?? or just pick them off as close to the cake.

What do you mean by dunk it?

just asking, total new here

thanks

After your first flush, how do you clip the Shroom? 

do you leave a little nub where it was or do you completely remove it from the cake for the 2nd flush?

whats the best way to get the cake ready for a 2nd flush??

Thanks

What are your thoughts?
You satisfied?
Any recommendations?

Hello all, can you take the spores released from the mature heads of a new harvest and use those down the line to inoculate more cakes for further use?  or anything close to that.  or is it too easily contaminated to the point where it is easiest to purchase spore syringes?

If anyone has a method or way of making the best out of your purchased spores, let me know.  THanks!
