Aya Posted March 31, 2007 (edited) Dear god, that thing's massive! Outdoor grow? Edited March 31, 2007 by Ayahuascara Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hyphal Posted March 31, 2007 Dear god, that thing's massive!Outdoor grow? I suppose you could call it a 'semi' outdoor grow... There was an outdoor grow being prepared by composting some straw/cow poo for a few days, then 4 old casings were spawned to that in a big black recycling tub. This was meant to be transferred to an outdoor bed, but with concern for the dropping night time temperatures, it was kept in the recycling tub inside next to the fire with a clear plastic sheet draped over to keep in some humidity... That big bastard was a pin that creeped up from the side. This is what the tub looked like as it was pinning (a couple popped up early) - you can see gigantacube popping his head up on the right hand side - And at full maturity - Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ENtiTY Posted March 31, 2007 Thats damn nice! I'm going to do a straw/moo poo run now I've seen pea straw and luceren mulch at the local bunnings, are these ok to use as the straw anyone know? Thanx for the insperation Hypha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amulte Posted March 31, 2007 Amulte, has PE6 escaped into the wild? hehe if only, lol. nah i was too distracted by the pics to see the strain mentioned in the title post lol awesome pics Hyphalknot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonny Deformed Posted March 31, 2007 Very nice indeed. You should cone it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aya Posted March 31, 2007 And at full maturity - Fantastic grow hyphalknot, great work! A foaf recently had a left over cake which he crumbled then covered with cow manure outside and was surprised to find 2 weeks later how much bigger and heavier the fruits were in comparison to the ones that were left in an FC. Different substrates and nutrients really do have a big influence on how mushrooms turn out. Once again Hyphal, great grow. Didn't happen to take any prints did you?

watertrade Posted April 1, 2007 Hey hyphal, I couldn't see in the picture what the weight of the mushroom was do you remember what it was? Ladies and Gentlemen.... I think its time for a challenge... who will beat hyphalknots monster PE6? around the globe in 80 days returning with fine spice and giant shrooms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ace Posted April 1, 2007 Well done Hyphal!! I didnt know PE6's would ever get that big!! I have seen a couple tiny little ones on PFcakes recently, but they are absolutely miniscule in comparison!! A massive round of applause for Hyphal!! Keep up the good work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aya A few spores may have accidentally landed on a few small squares of foil... Hey Hyphal,Did you pasteurise the poo before you spawned to it? The poo/straw mix was partially pasteurised - it was starting to go a little stagnant after the fourth day of composting (forgot to turn it the last day) so I put it in the black bin and poured in 2 large pots of water that were heated to 82C, then left that to sit in the tub for a couple of hours to cool. Then the mix was wrung out, a handful at a time, and transferred to a cleaner black bin where the 4 spent casings were crumbled and mixed through. This was covered and left to colonise for a week before casing with peat and a dash of coir which wasnt sterilised at all. The original plan was to throw it outside in a bed but the nights are cool so I though it was best to keep it in by the fire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
