In this video I show you all a pre-harvest shot of the F3 Apollensis. So far, every generation has had a very different and distinct performance, and the first flush is no exception. In the case of the F3, they have completely filled out the tub, yet the caps (despite open air fruiting) have not opened at all, not even a little!

(Too long for excerpt, click for full description)

Key Topics:

• Can stressing the mycelium actually promote a better flush? HOCl

• Reliable way to tell if a mutant is from environmental or genetic factors

• Side pins: Nature vs. Nurture

• Shoeboxes without dub tub

• My best grasslover (Apollensis) flush coming in!

• The ‘wildness’ of E4Ks

• Black Cap Ochras, epic pines coming in!

• Weird blobs on ochra substrate turning blue. What are they? 

• Mycelium overlay, rich in flavonoids? 

Key Topics:

• Fuzzy legs=lack of FAE? Not always. Discussion

• Causes of aborts, how to avoid

• How is the trich tub doing? Was the operation a success?

• E4K discussion, unique grow characteristics

• Misting during fruiting? Demonstration

• Got mycelium on your caps? Is it due to low FAE? Well…

• Weird growth on ochra tubs. What are they? 

• EPIC Apollensis F3 flush coming in!

Here is the follow up harvest video of the mutant F2 Apollensis flush from video 106!

This was filmed more than 6 months ago, but the last few recent videos I have uploaded of my current grows (107-110) is directly related to the results of this flush from July as the current Apollensis F3 is the offspring of this particular mutant flush.

I hope we can get some mutants with the current F3!

Did trich pop up during fruiting? This video is a tutorial on a method to salvage such tubs so that you may get a flush or two out of it, along with showing 2 methods to know trich is coming before it even hits.

Happy New Year Mycophiles! This video is an overview of this month’s genetics feature for the genetics tiers :)

Mush Love,

Key Topics:

• Ochra sclerotia?

• Ochra overlay: What is the cause?

• Weird blobs throughout substrate. What are they?

• Misting HOCl=Better pinset?!?!?

• A good rule of thumb to estimate how big your fruits will get from when they are pins

• E4K pinning, what would cause two shoeboxes from the same plate to have distinctly different phenos?

• Apollensis F3 pins! Will they retain their mutations from F2?

(TOO LONG TO LIST HERE, CHECK DESCRIPTION/Click on video)

Key Topics:

• Tub-to-Tub communication to share phenos and fruiting performance (kind of like how women can synchronize menstruation cycles when in proximity) 

• My process in domesticating mutations

• Use of cloning and spores in domestication

• How I took spores from a TINY cap (too small for swabs)

• Checking through the potential causes of the sudden mutations 

Key Topics:

• How to test mutations to see the cause, and to see if you they are reproducible genetically 

• NEW phenotypes popping off on the F1 tub almost 6 months in.

• Finally, a new flush coming in for the F2, one month after the last flush. Very strange morphology.

An update into the Apollensis F1 tub 5 months in!

I discuss their surprising flushing performance and consistency, even this long into fruiting! Not to mention out of hundreds of grows, this is the longest grow I have ever had. They just don’t seem to let up!

I hope you are all having a great day or night, and a fabulous Thanksgiving if you celebrate it 🦃

Hey everyone,

This video is a sort of addition to the last video about the huge Apollensis caps. In this video, I show a recent tampanensis flush with big caps (for tampanensis standards) to give you all a comparison between the two, and ultimately to bring home the point of how large those Apollensis caps really were!

All the best, and I hope you are all having a great day or night!

In this video I will show you an interesting exotic TEK with minimal automation by Mycophile community member Hotub.

The benefits of this TEK are that you can get tent-quality exotics, without all the moving parts, maintenance, and cost.
