Started log pro in 13 then straw. Used covid money to built a container fruiting chamber and lab. Now trying to master LC-> liquidity.

Can you hook them up to a PID controller and do you still need to hot wire it. Is the hot wiring procedure covered in the video. I can’t remember…

I’ve noticed the browning really heavy and universal on the second flush. I actually started cutting a few inches off each side of the straight seal at the top but leaving the top connected like a tent. This is giving me more like commercially grown bottle/grocery store enoki. I’m not sure what your humidity and co2 is but mine weren’t getting very long and having big caps before this. I love the strain tho compared to all the ones I’ve bought. Big thanks mycowizards and MC+S!

David Medlock do you just make one X at the top? Do you think a full shade tent would work well no humidifier

Is that a book on processing mushrooms? I guess I need to find that…  freeze drier would be dope!  I’m trying to work on building my value added lines and online sales bc there ain’t no major metro areas around, and yall got spawn and blocks on lock! 

So I’m not sure if I’m following the hockey puck thing, probably bc I don’t live near Canada haha. 

But y’all don’t think it’s inbreeding to keep feeding the same jar? My tests seem okay so far but when I first started I’d also make 3-4 generations off purchased production spawn. Good times!

Where did you get the culture from/ want to sell some…?

Know anything about potency testing for Cordyceps or any medicinal!?

The water Seems hella wasteful. We just setup piping in HEPA air from our lab positive pressure lab to positive pressure trough.

I was curious if you grow a batch out, harvest it, plate it and make LC are you back to G1?

How does senescence and strain stability play into that. 

Before I heard y’all were making a video (that will smoke mine and expose all the shit I’m doing wrong) I started one because there was practically no info on YouTube about bag production.

That's some crazy involvement from insurance...  Why fire?  You can get water proof LED strip lighting that's cheap and would probably keep them happy.  You might see some shit about blue being the best for oyster.   I would recommend some of them and some 5-6500K bright to see better and for pictures.  They also make exterior T8 that are sealed up tight.  I have both reg and LED.  I'm pretty sure I have 10 different lights haha
