After you found some good sector and clone it you let the mycelium grow and fill almost all the petri dish like I did last week. So now you're ready to move forward. Making grain spawn!🍄🍄 For grain you can use Organic Rye Berries, but you can also get away with wheat berries, or brown rice or even corn kernels(which I used myself) ! And you'll need some mason jars or honestly I used some jars that I had home just clean them very well and sterilise before using Making a grain spawn can be broken down into 6 easy steps. 🍄Hydrate Grain By Soaking 🍄Make Specialized Lids 🍄Simmer, Drain and Dry The Grain 🍄Sterilize 🍄Put your agar in the jar 🍄Colonize 🍄Soak the grain by placing it in a bucket, covering in water, and leaving it for 12 -24 hours. Easy. 🍄Drill 1 hole on top of the lid. Right in the center and cover with a small dab of high temperature silicone sealant, and leave it overnight to dry. And your jars are done. There other diff types for different methods like liquid culture etc. But I'm just going roughly through what Ive done. 🍄The next step is to simmer the grains on the stove. This will thoroughly hydrate the grains, and will soften them to make them easier for the mushroom mycelium to consume. Cook soaked grain on the stove for about 15 minutes. You don’t want to cook it too long, because eventually all the grain will crack and you’ll get some mushy grain spawn. We don't want that. 🧐After the grains have simmered on a low boil, you’ll need to drain them off. What I did is I drop them in the sink with the drain cover on. The grains will drain over an hour or so, after which you can go ahead and fill your jars. 🍄Once your jars are filled, they need to be sterilised.This kills off all the other nasty contaminants in the grain cover the lids in tinfoil (to prevent water dripping into the lid) and then just pressure sterilise them for about 90 minutes at 15 psi. 🍄After that let them cool down. Get your SAB, wipe down the walls with some alcohol wipes and place the jars inside. And wait untill they will be warm to the touch... not hot and painful 😤patience is key. Bring in your plates that had been stored by you in a dark place. And what u have to do is sterilise your scalpel and just accurately and efficiently decide your mycelium into about 10 pieces and quickly place them in your jar. And complete for every jar u make. You have to be very quick. The more you keep you're jar and your agar plates lids open the more cans they will get contaminated. There certain technics you can see online.. 🍄Ones you're done close all your jars lids tight and Jake your jar so the mycelium pieces will mix around the jar and place them in the dark place to colonize. And just keep waiting... 😅 Untill the mycelium will conquer your grain. Keep your eyes on the jars, any weird smells or colour during the waiting time.. because that would mean you got a contamination going on. Oh yeah and when about 55% of your jar is filled with mycilium shake the sh*t out of it so it will break the mycilium inside and make spread more faster.

18.12.24 BT#53 Servus liebe Growmie's ✌️ Die Purple Punch x Lemon Drizzle von Barney's Farm macht sich einfach nur gut. Jetzt gibt es für Sie nur noch Ph angeglichenes Wasser lasse sie noch bis zum Blütetag 60 dann kommt der Cut. Sie riecht so stark nach Zitrone was mich auf den ersten Test freue lässt,generell was ihr Geschmack mir auf der Zunge bereitet. Sie ist jetzt mit dem Purpeln was die Blätter angeht auf den Höhepunkt, auch Ihre Buds haben noch mal richtig zugelegt. Die hellgrünen Buds sind überzogen mit Tricome die jetzt alle Milchig sind aber noch nicht genügend Bernsteinfarbende. Aber es sind noch 7 Tage da kommt noch was also freut euch auf das nächste Update bis dahin stay High. Mögen all eure Ladys Gesund und prächtig wachsen und euch mit schmackhaften Stuff versorgen 🍀😋 ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 18.12.24 BT#53 Hello dear Growmie's ✌️ The Purple Punch x Lemon Drizzle from Barney's Farm is doing just fine. Now she only needs pH-adjusted water until flowering day 60 then the cut comes. She smells so strongly of lemon which makes me look forward to the first test, generally what her taste gives me on the tongue. She is now at the peak of her purple leaves, and her buds have also really grown again. The light green buds are covered with tricomes which are now all milky but not yet sufficiently amber-colored. But there are still 7 days to go so look forward to the next update until then stay high. May all your ladies grow healthy and splendid and provide you with tasty stuff 🍀😋

day 63

She is growing strong and healthy...maybe 2 or 3 week more...

Day 10F-17F (Day 10F) Everything is looking on point. I’m going to soak in a gallon of lite compost tea diluted to 400ppms on each plant except for #5. I’m still a little worried I won’t make it through the stretch but at the same time I fear N toxicity just as much. I will give one more lite tea before the end of stretch, most likely at the end of this week. (Day 12F) Ladies responded nicely to the tea except for BBB#1. It just isn’t looking as vigorous as it was last week. It’s the only one without an air hose so I guess it couldn’t hurt to grab one. The air hose does without a doubt prevent overwatering in soil and I’m surprised I don’t see more people using it. It’s cheap, effective and gives me similar results to growing in pure coco. I’m going to give one more light foliar spray of 3ml of calmag, 3ml of kelp and 2.5ml of insect frass. (Day 14) Got the air hose hooked up to all 5 plants now. I hate that I’ve been forced to defoliate so much in early flower and it is definitely reducing bud size. Last round my bbb’s had pistil clumps twice the size at this time and they were dealing with severe deficiencies. I’m hoping it’s just genetics or the fact they are larger plants. (Day 15) I’m starting to see signs of N toxicity on the some of the new growth and overall growth on all plants except #1 has slowed. It was most likely caused by the foliar spray/tea combo. No more feeding anything for the next 12 days at least. Luckily it’s still pretty early in flower but I know that N tox can hit really hard after the stretch stops. I would be pretty upset if I vegged for 80 days only to get severe N tox in mid flower. Since it’s not breaking down in the soil, I should be fine. I’m going to defoliate some more of the large bottom fan leaves as they hold large reserves of extra nutes I don’t need. Hopefully these small defoliations aren’t stressing them at all. Next round I plan to do a big strip one week before flower, at transplant and a second big strip on day 21. (Day 17) I think I was over-worrying about the seriousness of the N tox. I’ve seen it hit very hard in mid flower and can’t be too careful. It’s almost always caused by water soluble nitrogen so I’ll try to stay away from that unless I absolutely need it. My case does not look to alarming just yet. I noticed the stunting on #3 right after that last tea so I am going to stop giving the last liter of compost tea because of how unbalanced and separated at the bottom it is. It sure helped out the other 4 plants that didn’t get the granulars from the bottom of the bucket. I‘m planning to give a bloom tea around day 26 and a final top dress a few days later. #1 has now out stretched everything else in the tent. I honestly was not expecting that. If #3 didn’t get stunted this whole week I think it would be the taller/heavier plant.

Hello. This is the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9 of flowering. OK. Last look at these plants before harvest. Thought I might harvest this week till I saw the weather forecast. it was 32*c here yesterday and about the same today. It gets about 4* to 6* degrees hotter in the greenhouse and was 35*c in there when I was taking pics today. Over the next 10 days or so it will be much cooler here, so I'll start harvest on Sun. It should take me 6 to 7 days to finish , and those will be long days too. Just stopping for food, smoking and life's small emergences. OK. Keep Growing Straight. Chuck.

Really light hairs. Smells really sweet with a little kick and a great way of double toping

The all 5 seedlings are looking fantastic and very healthy, onenof them its a little too small I think but let's see what happens, stay tuned to see how this 5 dina cookies perform! 💛💚❤️🔝👨‍🌾

Week 3 of the stretch is in the books and as with last week - smooth sail’n. We defoliated extremely heavy at the end of the week to try and turn out the overall final structure of each plant - 3/4 mains and only the best of the top shelf bud will be spared on this run. Still dealing with WPM issues on the NL but the environment is regulating big time now that we have the heat on in the house. A full 20% drop in RH should do wonders to combat the WPM. My patience has been tested having to run these plants again after the last cycle but I’m glad I did. Too many good strains in here not to make sure we got the grow right this time. The dutchy system and Druid Nutrients will go a long way to that end to. It a like the system and the nutes were made for each other to be honest🤟. Alls good this week - looking forward to some big time bud stacks so we can finally start taking the pretty photos 😉. Until next week😎. Background This ones tied to part 2 of the pollen chuck. They were supposed to be a clone run for pollination but the mothers all reveg’d due to a timer incident and high stupidity. These will be the inaugural flowering run of the revamped dutchy system. Growing made easy😉. Shit ton of finagling and setup but once she’s ready - sit back, relax and watch em grow😍😎. Thanks for take’n a look.

Den Pflanzen sehen gut aus, sie Strecken sich enorm und es ist grade mal die 1. Blüte Woche um 😅😁 The plants look good, they stretch enormously and it's just the 1st week of flowering at 😅😁

Good week goign from strength to strength. Introduced pk 13-14 at half dosage to start.

@twenty20mendocino A-team R&D Update ~ Let’s Go day 70 for these girls an we are doing great! We getting big a bushy with thick solid limbs. Gonna have some nice big structure to build some nice big beautiful budz y’all ! We will let them build for few more weeks then we will throw them into flower, but let’s take it one day at a time ! And The Sangria is just looking so damn beautiful a smelling so damn stanky 😍! Only a couple more days of flush for her a she’ll be ready for the dark , so you don’t want to Miss next week’s update! Hope you all enjoy an have an amazing productive day as well as a great safe weekend! Peace love an positive vibes to all y’all Cheers blaze on 😶‍🌫️💨💨💨💨💨

I flipped them to flower this week, finally. They are way behind schedule because I didn't have enough space to keep them on their own 12/12 light schedule so they had to stay on 18/6 along with the other plants in the same grow space. They've gotten much bigger than I wanted them to due to that. But I'm hoping if I do the female forced pollen process correctly that'll hopefully mean more seeds to share 😁. I've been spraying the chosen males with colloidal silver for 3 days now. I take them outside to spray them & then let them fully dry before bringing them back in with the girls. Just a safety measure incase I mess up the forced female pollen process I'll still have good & untainted flower to use from the girls.

Entrando ya en tierra derecha 😑😑😑😑 Modo zen en este proceso, ser paciente estar atento al engorde y esperar. 🤯🤯🤯 Así va el mix fem en sus últimas 3 semana 4 semanas para el corte 🌲🌲 Una de las #critical47 de @positronicschileoficial es la que estará primero y ya podemos ver que lograremos plantas sanas y limpias al final. Las de mayor producción son las #fatbanana y la #greenpunch. La deaoyr resina hasta el mentó es una de las #critical47 y las #Toxic. Durante todo el proceso y desde hace ya 5 años confiamos el cultivo a los fertilizantes de @topcrop. 🍒🌽🍍🌼💐💮

Substantial growth in the roots. Should hit flower in the next week or two.

This girls has grown to 2 feet tall in just 30 days. If she keeps at this pace we should see a very nice plant.

I started the week by flushing the plants. It was time. The oldest two plants have two weeks max. The run off started at 1900ppm and went down to 400ppm. By that time I had pumped about 60 litres through the four of them. The tap water is already 300ppm, so this is a good level I think. The leaves are responding. I can see the nutrients being drawn out of them. They are withdrawing. I am also looking at trichomes daily now. The mature plants are 1/3 clear, 2/3 cloudy, with a few amber. The younger plants are 2/3 clear, 1/3 cloudy, with no amber. I couldn’t wait any longer. I cropped and chopped 3 buds from under the canopy and dried them slowly on a metal plate over boiling water. It took 1/2 hour, but it produced a nicely dried pile of smelly weed. If I lost any potency in the process we didn’t notice. We got really really stoned. If this sample is any indication, I think it will easily be my best grow yet in terms of potency. Now I’m curious about the weight.

Still stretching like crazy and no flower or sex showing in site Had a little fun with the filter 🤪 My ec at that moment was at 0.8-0.9
