soma_seeker Posted May 7, 2007 Hi people, my gnome's hangover from the past long w'end was eased by waking up to these nice specimens this morning. she tells me one cake are cambodians and the other are transkei, i'm not sure which is which - perhaps you could help me with id'ing? the wet mass was 45g for each cake, the best my gnome has achieved so far. regular PF style with a few drops of seaweed extract added for a nutrient boost and bought organic rice flour rather than home made. hope you like soma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aya Posted May 7, 2007 Very nicely done, your Gnome is quite the cultivator. So hard to tell what strains are what with cultivated grows, cultivation seems to dull a strains natural characteristics. Probably because of the growing environment. Really shows how much a mushrooms appearance is effected by the environment it grew up in. Just like us i guess. Anyway... Congratulations on a fine grow.

ENtiTY Posted May 7, 2007 Thats an awesome effort from cakes SS! Kudos to you bud! Hard to tell the strains they almost look identical. Well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soma_seeker Posted May 7, 2007 thanks guys yes, this is deff the best results my gnome has achieved from cakes. provided the potency is adequate and that another couple of flushes (at least 2) can be obtained of similar yld my gnome will be very happy indeed ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hyphal Posted May 8, 2007 Very healthy looking indeed - seems your gnome has it down pat - suggest moving up to casings? Theres a lot of gnomes around these days, the bastards get into everything around here... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
occidentalis Posted May 8, 2007 I reckon the ones on the right would be the cambodians - I've never grown them (and never heard of 'transkei'?) but those look like the cambodians I've seen in photos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

soma_seeker Posted May 8, 2007 thanks people, yeh i thought the one on the right was the cambodian, so i guess we are all in agreeance. my gnome's last grow was WBS spawned to coir and cased with 50/50 peat moss and verm. yld'd one nice flush but then all the casings were consumed by trich mold. a further attempt resulted in the same fate before the cakes even made it to the FC. the dissapointment of those results turned my gnome back to cakes, what she knew she could get right soma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dude Posted May 8, 2007 Nice work gnome! (can you pass the msg along?) also who's painting is that? looks pretty cool! mostly cuz of the boobies ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soma_seeker Posted May 9, 2007 cheers ED, i'll pass on the msg i picked up the painting last w'end. its by a local artist by the name of Mina Alucard (draculA), she is quite talented and says that most of her inspiration stems from psychedelic culture (which is obvious on inspection). http://minaalucard.deviantart.com - shows her bio and pics of a lot of her work if you're interested in checking it out soma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
botanika Posted May 9, 2007 Nice healthy flush Soma - good work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soma_seeker Posted May 15, 2007 my gnome gave me another pic earlier in the week i thought i'd share. the middle cake is indian orissa and the other two are mexi-cub.. hope you like soma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Micromegas Posted May 15, 2007 Hey SS those are absolutely beautiful, real works of art there mate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hyphal Posted May 15, 2007 Far out - those mexicubes are massive!! Wicked result for cakes, your gnome has skills... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soma_seeker Posted May 15, 2007 aw shucks thanks, my gnome will be pleased. she tells me that her mexi-cub cakes seem to always get 1 very large, munted and low potency fruit on their final flush. I think the one in the pic was a cake on it's 4th flush, it hasn't pinned again so i guess it'll be in the bin very soon. cheers soma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hyphal Posted May 16, 2007 Have you suggested to your gnome to move onto casings and spawning to a bulk substrate? It seems she has cakes down pat so well, that this next step will be a breeze for her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soma_seeker Posted May 16, 2007 g'day HK, as i mentioned earlier my gnome has tried casings a couple of times and consistently had trouble with trich mould. i know she should try again but she's a stubborn one ;) maybe next time. soma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
