yeah i already have a SAB made up a la Todd_lo's tek. have been innoculating from my MS syringes in it.
is fucking around with agar and/or G2G transfers doable with realistic proabillity of success in the SAB? My flow hood wont be finished for at least a month, as i need to save up some $$ to get a real nice Can Fan for it.
I already have a 2x2 cambridge HEPA filter for the flow hood, but i simply will not use one of my Can Fan blowers for the flow hood as i have at all time (within the last ten years anyway) kept an exact backup of my cannabis grow rooms lighting, air, and hydro systems and that would not be so if i pulled a "neccesary" fan from the backup stash.
if i ordered some Agar stuff (agar of course, petris, tools, etc) could i be playing with it and cloning fruits and shit from my flushes off these first tubs?
I am a nerd w/ this outlaw biology shit and been playing with cannabis genetics for a very long but mycology seems to be a far less conspicuous and just as fun outlet for my strange creatvie urges

They'll work twice as hard for a ten percent gain, just for the love of perfection..." Roger Rabbit

I don't have a flowhood and don't expect to get one. 
Edit- also, get agar locally for cheap. And pf jars are a great sub for petri dishes, on a small scale.

cool....im gonna call up everything mushrooms and get some agar and gear on the way!!
they have the basic agar kit that gives me a choice between ME agar and Potato Dextrose Agar.....does it matter which one i get?
also goin to read up on the G2G stuff and try and do a clean G2g with one of the PR jars that should be ready in a few days.
got to love the customer service there...will be bringing my camera home tonight and will snap some pics of my tubs.

Go down to brew shop, buy malt. Get agar at asian market for $1.69 a pack.

harvested my first cubes today!!!
a its a MS they're all comming at different times, but last night none had any stretched veils and this afternoon when i come home for lunch some funky black powdery shit was on top of the smaller pins underneath the matring ones....checked and the viels had split the black funky powder on the smaller ones caps was spores!! wet weight in at 58 grams and these were barely 5% of the totals and just the earliest maturing.

you are all a bunch of crazy bastards. mycology is my new favorite hobby.
went to sleep last night with pins that looked like little peni (yeah that is the grammatically correct pluralization of penis) and this morning tons of veils had broken some more had spored all over the place. spores are fucking messy and i picked a giant pile of cubes!!!
i stopped recording wet weight after 300 grams becuase i just dont give a fuck. almost all of these first flush will end up being gifts to people and i will have more than enough for me for a while...
THANK YOU SHROOMERY!!!
left my fucking camera at work all last week and whatnot but i got it home now and will get ya'll some pics of the tubs as i am going in for another harvesting session in a couple hours.
after i pick the last of the pins that matures (had only 2 aborts so far) should i left my tub substrate cakes dry out a bit before soaking them or can i go right from picking the last of the mature fruits straight to a soak for the next flush?
how long do ya'll usually soak your monotub substrates for before the second flush? with my shiitake blocks i soak em overnight, but those are hardwood sawdust and chips, not damion 50/50 sub....

English is such a clusterfuck of greek and latin... from: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/penis
Quote:
pe·nis noun \ˈpē-nəs\ plural pe·nis·es also pe·nes\ˈpē-(ˌ)nēz\ Definition of PENIS : a male erectile organ of copulation by which urine and semen are discharged from the body and that develops from the same embryonic mass of tissue as the clitoris
Origin of PENIS Latin, penis, tail; akin to Old High German faselt penis, Greek peos First Known Use: 1668
I have one in my mouth pretty much every day, so I should know...
Edit: too busy being funny to be helpful... Coir monos don't need to be dunked as long as pf cakes. 4 hours should be plenty.

im soaking the monos tonight and will be starting fruiting conditions for the second flush tomorrow.
i accidntaly broke one of the big tub cakes when i was turning them on sides to get of the aborts on the sides...i knew it would have healed and fruited ok, but i was feeling all mad scientist and used it to start an outdoor project. i basically made a big ass damion 50/50 coco batch and broke the block up and mixed it in with the new 50/50 batch and stuck it in a hole in a nice shady moist spot...then i topped it with an inch or so of straight verm.
i will keep it moist and see what happens...neeed to make room for some Puerto Ricans anyway

I go about 6 hours unless i forget and they go howevermany hours...after about 12 hours it starts gettin iffy..
Soak time depends on the sub. Some hydrate a lot faster, straw for example. And medium coir hydrates faster than fine coir. And vermy subs hydrate faster than not-so-vermy subs...etc...
You'll notice it's heavy when it's done.

Tnanks anonjon! you the man! after your previous posts re: FAE and pinset i really jacked up my air circulation when not manually fanning and did wonders for me.
i soaked the blocks last night for about 4 hours and they were noticeably heavier and certainly soaked.
i just soaked em in the tubs and wiegh em down with some cookbooks i put in big ass ziplocs.
i put them straight back in FC this morning after giving them the night after soaking the recover a bit.
i have been fanning, but not misting as i feel there is no need for the da and maybe tommorow. being freshly soaked i dont think spraying would do anything at all. as soon as the surface starts looking a bit dry i'll get back at em w/ the mist. been fanning as usual (at least 5x per day at least 2 minutes per tub each fanning)
