Tony's Cubensis Grow Thread

[Tony6Strings]

I've spent the last several months researching cube varieties and acquiring spore.

Melmac is the variety I am most interested in. I've got some on millet and am still working with the culture on agar.
I have four promising looking T2s. Next up I am planning on growing some Fahtster PE and some APE. I have some swabs for some TAT varieties (Ghost, Jack Frost) which I want to grow also.

I've got enough spores to keep me busy a long time. I am grateful.

As happens sometimes, the other night I prepared tea, and by the time we got the kids down and got in bed, myself and my partner were exhausted. Did not partake that night, put my tea in fridge. Drank it last night. Aa+ solid in potency. Very similar to the other Amazonian I've been growing. Very good. I got very high and saw beautiful neon visions of hyperspace for hours. I freaking LOVE the body high from these things, feels amazing to me. Crashed a few hours in the AM and feeling great today. Afterglow. Relaxed. Perhaps I will smoalk some today.

Happy Valentine's!! I thought this myc looked somewhat heart like.

My Aa+ are growing I will post a photo soon.

Melmac and Natalensis running well on the millet.

Oh and, I've got some Enigma culture, survived the mail and transfered well, I am stoked on this!!

Tonight I am inoculating with PE and APE swabs. Oh and I have an OG TAT (original True Albino Teacher) swab on the way. All the TAT varieties are very pretty albino in appearance, and some are reportedly quite potent (ghost, yeti). Sofar I've got swabs for Ghost, Jack Frost and now will have TAT.

Having started with PF Teks and having completed around 8 monotubs to date (with plenty of failures along the way) and still very much learning... this thread is a massive inspiration.

Nice work Tony

Thanks Oliver!!

Aa+ (Albino Amazonian). I like this variety for potency and aesthetics. I will be making some prints.

I've had some bottom pins before, but this really takes the cake...

Drinking the GTs tonight. I put the dried mushrooms in the cold water and became occupied with something else. Hour later, the water is blue from the mushrooms. This doesn't happen normally, hot water must degrade this blue product.

You rediscovered Stamets’ blue juice/blue ice extraction. His is a cold extraction, cubes on cubes.

Aa+. The excessive side and bottom fruiting made for some torn up substrate, but I wouldn't bet against them giving subsequent flushes. This was a fun grow, happy with this variety. Decently potent and fruits well. I cloned the tall one on right, my first clone, if you don't count a couple Natalensis germ plate pin transfers.

Total of around 440 fresh picked from two combined shoeboxes. Still there's some dirt that needs to be knocked off also once the mushrooms dry.

I made 12 prints.

Amazonian, popcorn & millet, flush #2.

Aa+, flush #2. And some Natalensis cultures, doing their thing...
