Picture was from the 6th and just harvested a pound or so from the first flush. I was really hoping for a good canopy, but scaling up from shoebox grows has some differences that I am getting used to.

The pins stalled longer than they should have as this strain doesn't seem to be a fan of lower temperatures and higher humidity. Once I bumped the humidity down, reduced the light and increased the temperatures, it finally exploded!

Note for admins and mods: The focus of this post is not on the species being grown here. It just so happens these strains are resilient enough for me to focus on grow methods and techniques while also getting fast results. This is 100% legal in my jurisdiction.

This issue is good and also problematic.It's awesome that Connect will reject private or self signed certs by default, but its problematic for HTTPS content filtering.

It seems that Connect doesn't play well with certificates for local HTTPS proxies, I suspect. For example, the proxied traffic for Connect through AdGuard does not work correctly when HTTPS filtering is enabled.

While it can sometimes work for connecting to an instance and retrieving post lists, using the embedded Connect browser will absolutely not work for HTTPS sites. (It shouldn't work in any situation, honestly.)

A work around, for when the instance connection itself works, is to have Connect use an external browser for all links.

Boring AdGuard documentation about what and how it functions for those who care: https://adguard.com/kb/general/https-filtering/what-is-https-filtering/

I have included some screenshots of what happens when I have my HTTPS filter enabled:

There is a ton of anecdotal evidence on the interwebs about the photosensitivity of fungi, ie, it governs the direction of pin growth, fruit colors, etc. suggesting a circadian rhythm of sorts.

There are older papers out there that do document light sensitivity in the red/blue ranges. However, none that I found have actually documented chemical changes in the fruit itself, just the changes in the structure of the fruit. (If I remember correctly, it was around 100 species that have been documented as photosensitive to some degree.)

I personally have debunked monotub side pinning being caused by light. Compaction of the substrate and limiting moisture exposure to the sides of a mycelium cake has all but eliminated side pinning for me. I digress.

So, I am just looking for new studies and research papers on this subject. Eventually, I will probably conduct my own experiments, but that is for another day.

Cheers!

Prusa dun good with this surprise update.

Modified MINI: Revo hotend + Bondtech extruder

Side notes (will add more as I test this firmware):

• The pre-sliced benchy from Prusa is a bit of a hack. While it does showcase the new speeds, you are not going to get the best performance when you slice it in Prusa Slicer. The new printer profile is good, but it is absolutely in alpha. (I amended a comment below where I was moving all settings to max.)

• Factory Prusa profile for IS, only uses 0.4mm nozzles (I have been using 0.6mm nozzles exclusively for a while now)

• If your belts are still stock, order new ones now. The stress that is getting put on the belts now is a little more extreme. (FYI: There was an error in the F1 x-gantry stop where it might wear the belt excessively, so look close.)

• I have properly packed all the bearings in the printer with grease so they are not as noisy as they would be stock. Be prepared for bearing noise, is what I am saying.

• Faster printing is causing ~-2°C drift on my REVO nozzle. That is expected and might be able to PID tune for better stability. It's not bad, just something of note.

• "BonkersBenchy" was sliced with Prusa 2.6.2a. and accelerations are set at 8000mm/s^2. There are other subtle changes in the gcode that affect total print speeds, so dig into them if you need mor fasts.

• The printer compensates OK when the print speed is manually set to 255 (absolute max). Your top layer bridges are going to have a rough time. It may work or, your print will be ripped off the bed because the first top layers aren't exactly studio quality. (I should say it adjusts to max speed better than it did with older firmware.)

I had a bit of grain left during my last run, so I mixed the bits I had left.

This is interesting, actually. Over the next few months, I'll continue this experiment to see what grain mixes might work better for spawn.

While this wasn't a "proper" test, I had still hypothesized that the higher starch content in the popcorn would do better. I guess not.

I'll try and separate testing into different categories like starch content, moisture content, mycelium strain, etc. There is probably a ton more conditions to isolate as well.

Mastodon rocked as always, but I had never seen, or ever heard, Gojira before.

If they tour again soon and you get the chance, absolutely check Gojira out! They put on a kick ass show.
