Observations on Ingeli
Running a JCM tub with newly added aquarium heater
1 LED lamp running constantly.
No perlite just water filled to were the tubs are partially submerged.
66 gallon sterilite tub with shotgun style hole drilled into it.
2 large bar airstones being ran by 100 gallon pump.
1 small airstone in quart mason jar with plastic lid drilled with holes elevated above totes being ran by 25 gallon pump.
Cheap aquarium heater off of amazon, running it at max temp of 93 degrees.
One outside fan pointing directly at side running at low at all times. Occasionally will run on high and manually sweep my tubs to knock more Co2 out.
IKEA gallon tubs (can fit 3 into 66gallon tote).
Using atomizer mister 3 times a day till the substrate is glistening any less and the substrate dries out.
Grain spawn is drippy corn prepared PGT way.
Sub is cvg supplemented with small amounts of black cow and higher amounts of organic worm casings.
Jiffy mix casing with added pickling lime.
Since adding my aquarium heater I have had the best looking Ingeli I have had yet. Had one flush before adding heater that was pretty wimpy even though the room temp is kept constantly at 80°. One tub refused to fruit at all until the addition of the aquarium heater and now is producing good flushes.
Biggest fruits are at 4 inches tall and just under a quarter cap size. Producing more spores than previously as well.
As indicated not only by my indoor experiment but also Phenodreamers outside grows, this species not only tolerates higher heat but thrives under higher heat. I agree that they need as much FAE as oyster mushrooms.
I noticed that the pins do abort when misting before I added the aquarium heater. Now they haven't aborted at all maybe they don't like being wet AND having temp drops/inconsistent temperature.
I'm not getting wall to wall canopies like East_Bay_Raider but the flushes are the best to date I've had. Tent grows dialed in with fans will likely produce the best results just make sure your temps are high and consistent with your humidity.
