Nice harvest and vid! Also, thanks for putting on your shorts.

[@MycoMoat]

I hope it doesn’t get banned!! Your shorts are plenty of clothes 🩳, thank you for all the very informative videos, I’ve been watching your channel all day. Thank you MycoGeeky for having you on the podcast!! I’ve learned so much from his podcasts and I’m excited to learn more!!

[@MycoMoat]

Wow beautiful canopy, very nice

[@freetheancientones8907]

That’s beautiful great work Edward

[@edwardgrand]

Thank you. wish I could show more fruit, but The Man is watching. LOL

[@jessembs]

Just watched an rewatched the mycophillia podcast - phenomenal. I would listen to you talking about literally any topic just non-stop! I wish each of the 'tangents' just kept going. Every bit of it was truly fascinating and I feel like I learned so much.

[@deadpixel4029]

Hell yes! You are amazing Ed, I have learned so much from you! I am so glad that you make these videos, they are priceless.

[@andyshelly3473]

very nice , looks like a text book example just like a pic in the audubon book . i should really use liners , maybe some day lol.

[@X360DevNerd]

Absolute legend!! Really an inspiration

[@gangsterbuilder]

You impressed me and the pattern on your floor must be fun to watch tripping

[@godseeker1168]

OMG id love to have a print of these. They are beautiful

You can get swabs on Sporeswaps.com

[@randyboni611]

Those are great looking! What kind are they?

[@mopman4206]

That's a full box nice work looks yummy

[@ZeginMakesMusic]

The size of the box is irrelevant to your yield. The calculation should be based off of the total amount of substrate and grain. Once the mycelium runs out of food, it fruits. Once it runs out of moisture, it dies.

[@edwardgrand]

Thank you for the very simple explanation. Unfortunately, it's a bit too simple. The total amount of substrate and the ratio are very important depending on the size of the box and/or container. Ask anyone who has used quart jars, 2-liter bottles, PP5 bags, monotubs, shoeboxes, etc. They will tell you how every new growing system needs to be tweaked for a particular cultigen, spawn/sub ratios, FAE, ambient conditions, filter patch type, etc.

[@ddbeats6449]

lovely little box of magic you got there!! how would i isolate genes for a canopy like this? did you do it from a cluster?

[@mo4u1]

All that in just 7 minutes! 👍👍Nice KZbin... If you would, what kind of harvest do you get wet harvest versus dry product finish out of a shoe box? Thanks for the show!

[@joedirtrd1]

Subscribed 😂 Thoroughly impressed

[@SmallMouthNoises]

I just noticed… do you have a trap door in your kitchen floor??

[@Wisegoatface]

Yeah I do. Just in case some soab tries to snatch em!

[@magnumxlpi]

I would assume it's a cellar

[@robertstella8572]

Gotta store the bodies somewhere.

[@nathanaelhughes1865]

Great vid Ed! Love the socks with the slides! Did you do a true casing on those?

[@edwardgrand]

Need to hide my ugly toes. Didn't paint my nails yet!

[@nathanaelhughes1865]

@Edward Grand sometimes you gotta let the toes breathe bro. I like a clear coat for the nails. 😆

[@Motherdgaf]

So pretty 😊

Beautiful mushrooms ❤️

[@Houseofmycology]

I have some colonizing in a shoebox do I leave the lid closed or should I crack the lid? Mine don’t have locking handles it’s just one piece (lid) what temp should I keep it at colonizing and do I lower the temp when I go to fruiting?

[@danwilkinson2797]

Beautiful nat looking they are

[@depraved420]

Looks great 👍 shits packed. 🥳

[@vazap8662]

Hey Ed. Nice outfit 🤣 Aaargh… I was hoping to see how you actually harvest these little guys! Until now my flushes were modest enough that I was happy to pluck them one by one. However I’m getting my first very dense canopies (yay!), and thinking of sharpening my kitchen knife… What’s your take on that? Cutting and leaving stumps? Good or bad idea?

[@edwardgrand]

I just rip them out, dry, trim after dry.

[@maple7432]

Crazy shit dude!

[@gratefuldoge8598]

So are you saying ANY mono would eventually make a full canopy like that or do you have to select traits that lead to full canopies?

[@edwardgrand]

Here I am talking about a 'monoculture' (not a monkaryon). In other words, a clone of a phenotype that is desirable. Here is what I posted on FB: "To get a monoculture (not monokaryon; although that would be a monoculture too), you just clone the inside of the stem or cap of a nice phenotype from a previous grow on agar (I have a YT video). A lot of people will start with a multi-spore grow (e.g. T0 swab plate, BRF/PF tek cakes or MSS on agar) and select a fruit from that grow to clone. Clone that fruit to agar, grow it out, make spawn and fruit. The fruits from a monoculture will be much more consistent, although being in a new environment with no competing brothers and sisters, they might not exhibit exactly the same phenotype again. You can just repeat that process until you get what you want."

[@gratefuldoge8598]

@@edwardgrand thanks Edward that makes sense, would you say that it is more the technique filling your tub that allows for any given mono (culture/karyon) to produce an even and dense “canopy”. Do you ever experience one that fails to do so at all?

[@edwardgrand]

@@gratefuldoge8598 I am running new genetics all the time and don't try for canopies. I just thought that one looked nice. Failure is always an option in this hobby.

[@Houseofmycology]

About how thick is your cake? 2 in?

[@psilifunguy]

Amazing Field capacity!!!

[@edwardgrand]

After hundreds of tubs, bags and trays, I still occasionally F! it up. Better to do it with good light and when you're not super tired which is usually what I end-up doing :(

[@psilifunguy]

@@edwardgrand but if everything was perfect would it be any fun???

[@psilifunguy]

For all the failures and mistakes we make this just shows that you are legendary. Definitely shows experience at the end of the day

[@edwardgrand]

@@psilifunguy patience and resilience. Good traits for this hobby and life :)

[@jedi3949]

What liners do you use? Can you let us know what brand and type?

[@edwardgrand]

They are a local brand. Just get the thinnest ones you can find. Color is irrelevant. They need to stick and shrink with the substrate cake.

Just squeezing sub and washing dishes :)

[@mopman4206]

I know in cannabis you lose about 75%of water weight from wet to dry just curious what the ratio for mushrooms are?

[@psilocyborg4775]

90 percent depending on who's drying them😉

I’m sure those are piopinos … dude, congrats!

Only the finest for my Italian friends.

[@korymichalicek6186]

Ed when you dry them I recall you chatting about high heat really isn't an issue. My question is, Why not just bake for an hour at higher heat, On a mesh rack. Or Does sustaining a certain dry down Factor determine loss of original potency.

[@edwardgrand]

The water needs some time to leave the tissue. If it is a really high temp and water is still inside the flesh, you will cook them :)

[@korymichalicek6186]

@@edwardgrand so really it's best to have a slow dry at a modiste temp. What are your thoughts on people using ice water extraction.

[@edwardgrand]

@@korymichalicek618655C for 24 hours should be enough. I'm not familiar with ice water extraction. I'd use 90C water. Just like making tea.

[@korymichalicek6186]

@@edwardgrand Paul Stemets mentioned it in a conversation w talking about the ice water extraction on freshly picked. But really didn't get into it. Figured with your background you might have more info on the science. Thanks for the great content very interesting.

[@ItsCheechFool]

What do you use as a top ? Do you crack the lid if you use that to fruit ?

[@edwardgrand]

The showboxes come with a lid. I leave it on while the sub/spawn consolidates into a cake. I remove the lid when I put it into my Martha or bigger tent. I occasionally use the lid as a cover if the surface starts looking dry.

[@ItsCheechFool]

@@edwardgrand I run humidifiers with sterilized hot water in them set at 80% have to refill 3 times a day but I’d rather touch the humidifiers then my shoeboxes but yeah also people have to realize how many contams there are simply floating around even after they clean flowhood all that. If I can set a humidifier in another room and it increases the humidity in the specific room that means the whole level of which you are on effects the specific area. Mycelium is simply a more resistant contam. Trich is def roaming in the air and in the coco coir.

[@ItsCheechFool]

@@edwardgrand also how long can I leave a quart jar colonizing ? Can I put it in fridge if I’m not ready to use it yet? They ready for transplant but I wanna see my first two bins fruit before I do these babies got a super head start on them they already 30 days in

[@edwardgrand]

@@ItsCheechFoolI try to use my spawn within 6 weeks. I used to put stuff in the fridge, but I've found it usually leads to contam and condensation problems. If you can use it within 2 months, I wouldn't refrigerate it.

[@edwardgrand]

@@ItsCheechFoolI have totally switched over to 'diaper tek' using soaked incontinence pads for humidification in my Marthas and 4x8 tent. No humidifiers or cleaning necessary. I just toss them when they start to look crusty. Check out my 'tent camping' videos. Your right, the ambient humidity definitely affects what type of refill schedule, cleaning regime, etc. we have to do. I don't do any cleaning of the tents. I just try to keep the liquid water condensation to a minimum and get rid of anything sketchy very quickly. Thanks for the comments :)
