Last grow for a while, Orissa India

pihop · 10-31-09, 09:40

This will be my last grow for some time. I'm going to travel for just over half a year so obviously I wont be able to grow.
It is two trays with hpoo compost and coir 40/60 and a bag with almost only coir.

So this is what it looks like now.

They trays are nice and rhizomorphic but the bag isn't for some reason.
Wish me luck with this grow!
The spawn I used is G2G from a single MS jar so the genetics should be the same in both the trays and the bag.

Good luck from here! Hope you get more than enough to last you for half a year then!!

wildburr · 10-31-09, 10:01

OI's are one of my favorites, you should enjoy them. Good luck with your grow.

MLBjammer · 10-31-09, 10:41

Good luck, man. You might need some more polyfill-stuffed holes in that bag. I don't even incubate it if it's just coir, which is more of a rez-effect than bulk--although coir has some nutrients in it.

It al looks healthy, though, and that is the most important thing!

pihop · 10-31-09, 11:51

I'm not going to fruit invitro in the bag, I'm just gonna cut it open and case it.

Any ideas as to why the coir isn't as rhizomorphic as the poo/coir?

wildburr · 10-31-09, 11:55

No nutriens in coir as opposed to poo/coir

I thought that was gonna be a sandbag. Sorry. Yep, Wildburr is right. It still works pretty well, even if less nutritious.

pihop · 10-31-09, 12:41

Would it be to late to mix in some pasteurized hpoo?

MLBjammer · 10-31-09, 15:38

Personally, I would just let it go as is. I find that when I screw around with something too much, it usually backfires on me. It should do fine with just the coir. I get three or four flushes from mixing popcorn to coir at a 1:2 ratio. It is basically a rez-effect grow. I just thought you were doing the big invitro fruiting bag from your picture. You can go ahead and put it in fruiting conditions.

Good luck, Pihop. Good vibes for many, many shrooms.

P4ulada · 10-31-09, 17:59

Nice choose man! I ever wnated to grow OI, but never had space to do it =/
I know you´ll get some nice flushes there!

Hey wildburr - what in this strain do you like? (It has a nica visual trip? Or is it good growth features?)

pihop · 11-10-09, 07:20

They have come along nicely!

Got a patch of trich in one of the trays so I had to cut away a big chunk but it seemed to help.

This strain was a lot slower than the Z-strain! Hoping for some nice fruits

I've got 1 pin in the bag and 1 pin in one of the trays.

copelandiaKidd · 11-10-09, 10:42

besides the crater missing from the trich, all looks great!!!!!!

dial8 · 11-10-09, 10:49

Have fun on your trip and stay safe!

pihop · 11-12-09, 08:27

More pins today!

Getitosis · 11-13-09, 22:10

OIs are my ultimate fav for blasting off into the abyss.

got some going @ the moment myself.

good luck!

pihop · 11-15-09, 06:32

This isn't orissa but i just gotta post this picture.
This shroom grew off around a table spoon of colonized popcorn. I love this little guy!

(It's z-strain)

MLBjammer · 11-15-09, 06:34

That is very cool, Pihop. Thanks for sharing and I hope the grow is going well. Peace--Jammer.

pihop · 11-19-09, 07:01

This is what it looked like a few days ago.

And this is what it looked like today ( I plucked 3 shrooms for printing before taking the picture)

It seems the shrooms grow tall and with very small caps for some reason. Any ideas as to why?

MLBjammer · 11-19-09, 08:05

Those look healthy. As far as the small caps, I would have to guess the genetics, but I have not grown that strain.

Om shanti · 11-19-09, 08:14

Yes they look very nice. Congratulations!

It looks like humidity is a bit high (the heavy fur on the stems). I love the two small boobs in the last picture, upper tray lower right corner.

weeeeeee · 11-19-09, 09:14

congratulations on your going away fruits and best wishes on your journeys peaaaaaaaz

marmy · 11-19-09, 18:00

I was all giddy watching this and well, to be honest , a little disapointed. I wonder why no huge caps?

So am I

I harvested today and most had really hollow stems as well

I got a total of 140g wet from the first flush.

The trays are dunking. I didn't want to dunk the bag since it had some nice ones growing out of it that wasn't ready to harvest.. I injected 40ml of water directly in to the middle of it. It sucked it up like a sponge, will dunk it first thing Monday when I get back from a short trip.

For the 2nd flush I've raised the trays from the bottom of the tub to hopefully get a bit lower humidity.

What I'm also curious about is why the caps are so damn pale! The pics I've seen of orissa has shown nice brown caps, not pale almost whitish caps. Could this be because of a too dry sub?
I didn't dunk the trays or the bag before the first flush, could this be it?

MLBjammer · 11-20-09, 05:35

Hey, you got a good bit of shrooms.

As far as color and hollow stems, I believe that is much more about genetics than your growing environment.
