Vigorous and clean!

Culture came promptly. Healthy, thick and cloudy syringe expanded quickly in LC. Waiting on fruiting results, but so far it's ripping through grains like a demon. Can't wait to see my first flushes.

Thanks for the great review, Harrison. We are so glad the chestnut culture worked out! Our team is here if you need anything!

Excellent genetics

Tested out culture on agar plates first to make sure everything was clean. Then I multiplied the culture in a sterile nutrient rich solution and injected many bags.

Gorgeous grow!! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review!
