soma_seeker Posted April 25, 2007 Hi people, my gnome suprised me this morning with a couple of pics of some shrooms she found in her travels she tells me they were grown on PF cakes with store bought organic brown rice flour and a bit of seaweed extract for added nutrient value. look closely at the cake in the middle of the second and third pics and you will notice it contains a fruit that has grown upside down. my gnome tells me, after dunking the cake between flushes a small primordial lump appeared which became a cap within a day - which the stem of the shroom proceded to grow out of. hope you like...

user1 Posted April 26, 2007 (edited) not sure what's going on with the upturned mushie, these things always have to be weirder than you expect. nice looking flushes though. i love the lighter soma EDIT: what's with the tubing taped around the inside of the terrarium in pic 1? haven't heard that one...

soma_seeker Posted April 27, 2007 hi people, thanks for the support Yeh i love that lighter user1, genuine zippo too. Yep, that tubing runs around to the far corner and into an airstone. The airstone runs the diagonal length of the fruiting chamber and connects to tubing at both ends. I've had a couple like that too naja naja. Is that home cultivated? it looks huge.. I think the reason for some of my less than gorgeous (sin against nature) shrooms is due to insufficient air-exchange, but i'm happy with the way things are going and don't feel the need to mess with the grow conditions. GreenCave, i would have thought that cloning that shroom or an abort would not produce the same fruits. I would have thought my freak shroom and aborts are due to very specific locational growth conditions and not genetics. However it seems quite reasonable that the genetics of an abort or freak could be weaker than that of a healthy shroom.. I don't know, just my educated guesswork here... soma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
