This is a GV bag on day 10 since inoculation with LC, I’d posted this recently because I was wondering if colonization time correlates to quality. Another thing I noticed but could be wrong is that it’s better to use LC with the rice bags than spores.

That looks beautiful. I’m planning to inoculate tomorrow, also with LC. What strain are you growing?

That’s great, the LC is definitely the way to go and I’m growing Blue Meanies cube, p.nat from LC and b+ in an aio bag from spore. What are you gonna grow?

Starting with Golden Teacher and Tidal Wave for a variety of potency. I want to try Ochra next simply based on a recommendation here in the sub.

I got lucky with gt before by inoculating a co2 aio bag but that’s the one that failed on the UB bag for me. I’m gonna look into the tidal wave, I’ve heard of it before but not sure if I’ve seen it.

I selected those strains purely on the basis of comments in the guide. I’m already regretting that I didn’t buy more variety when making my initial purchase.

Yea I’m kinda feeling the same way about variety because I found the LC after buying spores but I’m also a bit overwhelmed seeing how much some people are yielding lol, if things go well I may have more than I know what to do with 😅

Is the orcha recommended for its ease of growing or potency?

2

u/Rilkespawn 1d ago

Both. Easier to grow than a potent strain like penis envy, but as much as twice the potency of GT.

Ok great to know, that’s the same reasoning for me getting the p.nat

I think they’re the same thing, at least according to this comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/unclebens/s/rJgJmD15BY

Oh cools so we can compare the genetics. Where you buy from?
