Tent Camping with Ed #4. An astonishing recovery and how to think when trying to fix problems.

[@josephfuller2716]

Thanks for the video very cool.

[@GeorgeMathers0987]

There’s like a nice chunk of us out there that really enjoy and appreciate these videos that Ed takes his time out to put out for us.. we have to all go to Thailand and hang out with Ed one of these days

[@edwardgrand]

That would be great! I will start planning the commune :) Seriously though, I have given thought to making some kind of retreat for like-minded individuals. I would love to have a big ol' mushroom-based place for people to chill and learn.

[@StickyDankFingers]

@@edwardgrand great idea :)

[@chuckheppner4384]

They say mistakes make you wiser, which basically makes me a genius. 😏

[@Houseofmycology]

So I have bags in tubs but I’m about to put a shoebox in a tub in a couple days should I put a pad under the shoebox in the tub? Should i dubtub it?

[@mateusz6332]

I discovered your channel a short time ago and you are already my biggest inspiration in mycology, thank you for your videos... here in Brazil we use corn flakes to expand the mycelium, it's a great technique

[@nrsrchd]

Awesome, finally got mine up and almost slept in it just because I am excited. Now I can show my husband how yours is set up so we can start adding the rest of the equipment.

[@edwardgrand]

After a month of dialing in the tent, I am thoroughly happy. Seems like the incontinence pads, air inlet, fan speed, timing, etc. just needed to be tweaked. Definitely making my job a lot easier. I'm too old to be bending over and doing a lot of physical manipulation. ;)

[@spacepirate1543]

go Ed go! That steal magnolia is looking beautiful. I'm still working through the last batch of spores but odpe X shakti is looking like a banger. thankyou for showing all of the hiccups its good to know that even the best of us have issues. Saturns are being little bastards for me. my clone wants to make tinny blobs . i think have to go back to spore and pheno hunt again

[@edwardgrand]

Some of the new babies seem to need time to adjust to their new homes. I almost always clone the first good fruit these days from multispore to make sure they like my setup on subsequent runs. I have learned more from sharing and discussing my mistakes than my successes! And I love that it helps others.

[@jtheatom]

Thanks for some inside baseball. Please keep the videos coming. I'm learning a lot.

[@davescroggins6397]

I would think the outside airflow would zap the humidity. I have a 4x4 with a fogger and a small inside fan. I would like to bring in filtered outside air instead. Thanks for sharing Ed!

[@edwardgrand]

I only have my 4" inline fan on for 5 minutes every 2 hours. The fan is only only at like 25% using a dimmer switch. I also have all the flaps/doors/vents closed in an effort to keep in the humidity, but slowly allow the gas to 'diffuse' out. A 4x4 might be a bit more sensitive to humidity changes. Have you tried the incontinence pads/diaper tek? Diapers are the ONLY humidification I have in the tent.

[@davescroggins6397]

@@edwardgrand I have them in there as well. I spray them on occasion, but once I set up the fogger I left them in there with the thought that they would absorb the ambient humidity and help with retention. May be overkill 🤷🏻‍♂️. Starting to get colder here, so I may try without the fogger and just saturate the pads and keep the 🍄 warm.

[@TheDarkArtist66]

Pretty nice setup. Can't bitch about that and everything is doing good so, hell yeah. Keep doing you

[@smokenjoe001]

Thank you for sharing Ed. I have been dealing witht he same issued in my tent with albinos... I was hoping you were going to say something else but I appreciate you either way. Thank you!

[@edwardgrand]

I think my Albino Huautla issue was a bad batch of spawn. I stopped misting my shoeboxes. That seems to have cleared it up with other cultigens.

[@smokenjoe001]

@@edwardgrand oic, that helps. Ill try that, thank you sir! I have been increasing the air flow inside the tent. Thinking it may have been a c.o.2 issue but I will also stop misting to see if that helps. The air flow has not helped me, lol

[@oh_thank_heaven_707]

Thanks for the insite Love the melmak revert A+++

[@edwardgrand]

Just swabbed it. It looks beautiful! Will be up on Sporeswaps.com shortly.

[@ItsCheechFool]

3:52 this bin right here you said it’s pinning good. I am wondering how long it have left? As well as can new pins start forming at this point as well?

[@StickyDankFingers]

Hello Ed so although the TP shoebox “fizzled out” out as you put it, are the fruits still good to consume ?

[@edwardgrand]

Yes. They are fine. But just like any other consumable, we shouldn't eat anything that smells bad or looks rotten.

[@Houseofmycology]

Damn I might order the MelMac revert they are looking great! Steal magnolia too

[@edwardgrand]

Those are both winners! Would be good for some weight.

[@Houseofmycology]

@@edwardgrand true that

[@MutantMycoGenix]

my tent setup is very similar to yours!

[@pipelinesalvatoregiordano4954]

Great looking melmacs

[@r6parker]

Woohoo! Another update 🎉

[@axemonkey64]

looks bomb!

[@Houseofmycology]

What bags are the best for liners?

[@edwardgrand]

Very thin, new garbage bags.

[@Houseofmycology]

@@edwardgrand what size? Do You cut them to fit your tub?

[@edwardgrand]

@justinilardi3689 Not sure what size. I get two liners out of one bag. I cut them in half, put it in loosely, fill the shoebox, make it firm, and then use a really sharp knife to trim off the excess.

[@GETITDON3]

Good morning

[@hibnauseam2046]

Is the inline fan to positively add clean air and is it necessary?

[@edwardgrand]

I think a bit of new air is necessary. I ran for about a month, hoping me opening the door twice a day would suffice, but I was getting dead air spots in the tent. I only have it set for ON 5 minutes every 2 hours. It really seems to help. I also only have it set at about 25% full speed with a dimmer switch.

[@Houseofmycology]

What kind of led do you run?

[@edwardgrand]

I just have a bunch of strip LEDs. Cool white, warm white, multi-color. It doesn't really seem to matter. I just use them so I can see and tell the babies which way to grow.

[@Houseofmycology]

@@edwardgrand do you know if they have to be a certain wattage?

[@edwardgrand]

It really doesn't matter. If you can see what you are doing, that is enough. Mine run off 5V phone chargers, so I doubt the wattage is very high.@@Houseofmycology

[@Houseofmycology]

@@edwardgrand nice 👍

[@Evilhippie79]

Loved the tour. QQQ What size tent are you using? I've Been thinking about getting one and that seems to be a size that would work for me..

[@edwardgrand]

4x8 feet. It's like 6'7" high. Good for three Martha style shelves inside. If I had more room, I'd do an 8x8, but not sure the diaper tek would be enough humidity?

[@Evilhippie79]

Awsome thank you. Your passion about mushrooms is amazing. I'm constantly learning things I didn't even know I needed to know just listening to your live streams. Keep it up my it is appreciated by many.

[@Not_Qwake]

So it did end up being bad spawn? In that case I called it ^^

[@edwardgrand]

Not sure what the problem was, but spawn is likely.

[@Not_Qwake]

@@edwardgrand yeah, even if it wasn't it it's usually the best thing to rule out first

Hey Ed

Hello. Was about to do a live, but the bar I'm at just cranked the music!
