Hey all,
It's good to be back online isnt it
In the time that we've been offline I've harvested the first flush of 3 cakes, and just birthed another 4. I have another 4 cakes still incubating. 2 of them are 700ml canning jars so have taken a little longer of course. (12 cakes of the original 30 survived to fruiting)
Here's a couple of pics from the first cakes.
The cake in the baby bottle steriliser to the left was the victim of a stoners hairbrain experiment. (didnt work
)
I ended up just washing the cake off in distilled water and re-casing it.
It's now started fruiting, but it's taken a little longer. (this image was taken about 3-4 days ago.)
I got that 5.2 megapixel Fuji cam last week
It's a lot more reliable, and the picture quality seems a little nicer.
I finally got around to cutting them clones tonight. My mother plant's HUGE now. I really shoulda taken the clones at least a week ago.
They were cut right before this image was taken. That's why they look so limp. I guess having ur limbs cut from your body has a way of ruining ur mood.
Last image, my edibles. (white buttons ('agaricus bisporus' i think
)
(I've yet to work out what the substrate is. I hear the Australian mushroom industry growers keeps their substrate recipe's a guarded secret. The casing is pete/lime, other then that I dont know much. Seems to be going reasonably well though.
Take care guys, and see you on the threads
Fingers
