Companion grow with Flax

golly · 07-22-08, 16:50

In this tray , Flax seed was sprinkled in with a potting soil casing..
Germination took about 2 days and was grown out in a location with daylight.

Two weeks from spawning now , these Falbinos are ready..
One advantage i have noticed, is that the sub is easily hydrated with the plants present.
The water absorbes right in , rather than rolling off the surface...It's watered like a plant , rather than misted..
I already took the largest albino for cloning, there are about 4 so far...

I like the Flax because it doesn't out grow the shrooms like grass and can handle lower light levels and heat..

So is mycelium good for plants? Do they work together? I was thinking that the myc would smother the root systems and take them over. So would it be safe or even good if I started some myc in flower beds?

Well initially the plants are competing for space, water and some nutrients..
If a grow is seeded too heavily ,especially with grasses , the roots will overwhelm the myc..
The benefits are limited when growing Cubes ..The Flax does provide a bit of a microclimate for pins to form but mainly it insures that the sub doesn't get over hydrated
as water easily passes right thru to drain ..So just watering with a jug works well and there's less risk of molding..

Very beautiful tray Golly!!!!!!! I love the flax, much better than regular rye grass, thanks for the tip!

Inspiring!!

What was the avg humidity out doors?

Would this have benny's with CO2 absorption in an isolated setup?
Or is the flax too smale scale to make a difference.?

Thnx..
The tray was in a fairly humid location ,around 60-80% ..
Pinning was induced by covering with wet paper towels for a day..They all popped within 12 hrs of covering...
