Some of the plastic containers are colonizing really slow
compared to the glass jars. 8 days only 15% colonized- Temp 79F

No Gas exchange...is that really not a problem?

Should they be opened and be blown by the flowhood for a few seconds?

thx

my only complaint about this method is stores do not like to stock many of the plastic containers.  Spent like 15 minutes talking to the brain dead employees at walmart.  None of them were even the slightest bit of help.  Bought out another store, they were more expensive but its all good.  Just g2gd 35 of these.  Anxiously waiting for results.

Some of the dollar stores have plenty of PP5 plastic containers. And they are only a buck.

Funny that you post this.
I was going to edit the OP with some info about it, today.

I can tell that you guys are on the ball!
This is really exciting! I'm glad to see so many peeps tagging along!


That topic needs to be clarified a bit.
RGS thread states "They still have enough air to colonize as long as the inoculant is distributed evenly."
Without many evenly-spread inoculation points it's possible that you'll get a lack-of-GE stall.


For every 30-50 containers I do there are sometimes 2-3 that seem to stall.
Cracking the lids takes care of this.
It's the same thing you do for sterilization.


Depending on whatever inoc method and growth method that the grower chooses, he/she may end up cracking the lids this way after the 3-7 day point (if not fully colonized as mine do) and leaving them on the shelf until fully-colonized.
No need to worry about contams with lid cracked, particularly after letting them recover and begin colonizing for several days beforehand.
I've never had a contam with a cracked-lid colonizing container.


If you're not inoculating with a method that leaves thorough points or that doesn't fully-colonize in 4-7 days then you might get stalls.
Opening the containers all the way is not the solution!
Just crack the lids very little, like for sterilization, or less.



Now I'll get to editing the OP with the from-the-get-go info.

You might also add that these are able to be drilled and have a sfd/or ez felt applied to them.  I don't remember if it was this thread or another that someone stated not to drill as the lids crack, but I added a small square of clear shipping tape where I drilled and didn't get a single crack. (I'm sure any package/present tape will work).  I've worked with all types of plastics when modifying PCs, and a little tape always saves the material.

I'm sure the cracked method works just fine, but for those trying this that already have filter material/rtv silicone around its not a bad idea and may save your butt if you forget to leave it cracked in the PC or so you dont possibly crack open too much and allow contaminants into your containers.  Additionally, if your using the larger plastics  and a ms syringe, or lc (as inoculated g2g masters) you can leave the container sealed tight from the pressure cooker all the way through full colonisation without having to worry about lack of ge or contamination from exposure to open air.  (If using agar or they are fed with g2g I would not think it would be as big of a deal as violet has already said since the colonization should be much quicker then)

Maybe I am reading this wrong but it looks to me that you are saying that you can inoculate your jars/containers, then PC them and let them colonize in the PC.
Is that what you are saying?

Err idunno.

I highly recommend not modifying the lids if one has any plans for using a glovebox or sterile laminar airflow cabinet for these containers… as you ought.

I definitely wish I hadn't drilled holes or silicone'd filters onto my first ones.
My first round I did a bunch of holes with filters because I wasn't yet aware that I was able to do this with just seal-broken lids instead.
After just a couple runs with them it was clear that I had pretty much messed the containers up. The silicone could not be expected to stay on very well. I learned that I had to be very careful in handling or shaking after PC and inoc, and totally leave them alone until ready, or the filters could fall right off wasting energy and time.

If you're really wanting to do something to this effect, or use syringes to adapt this method for newer growers, then the only modification I'd suggest is poly-fil. It doesn't require silicone which falls off these lids too easily, and works as both an inoc port (as long as you let your flamed needle cool first) and GE port.
The poly-fil hangs in there easily, works predictably, and opens up several inoc possibilities as well as the option to PC and inoc without opening them at all, like Bloodkil said.

Whatever floats your boat, but my suggestion is to leave the containers totally as-is. Many of you will find out exactly why.

If you're having a hard time finding the small plastic twist containers (as I did at first), you can find them here.

http://www.soap.com/p/ziploc-twist-n-loc-containers-3-ct-2-pack-216361

My wife shops here for all kinds of household stuff & sure enough they have tons of those containers.  Free Shipping if you buy $35 or more!!

I ordered over 24 of those packs (order before 6pm EST) and they were at my front door the next day.

Violet thanks for sharing your hard work and experience!  Would you elaborate on the idea to work without the casing when looking for specimens to clone?  How is no casing advantageous in selection?

Well I'm kindof doing the grow in different ways when looking for clones.
I wanna see which ones cluster on the very top-middle of a thin and uncased substrate.
That will tell you which ones really want to cluster.

Having 5 times as much substrate with the same amount of surface fruiting area means that you'll get mushrooms crammed from out of that fruiting area.
If you have a huge sub with a reduced proportion relative to fruiting space, then sorta all the mushrooms will look like a cluster in a sense. Especially when you grow with "bulk" subs where they tend to form much larger mushrooms each instead of numerous clusters, depending on their genetic predisposition. Thing is that said genetic predisposition is hard to see in such scenarios, but on tiny uncased substrates as such it's much more evident, and what you see can more predictably lead to what you get.


As of yet none of my grows presented are from such cultures; I blind-isolated these several clones of big mushrooms and fired away to see results. This is why I'm sure that I can get the grow even stronger, significantly so.

Hello! violet i have a question that i couldnt seem to find in your first post. what kind of grass seeds can i use? is rye crass seed the only option? does fescue work? do you know of any name brand types i can look at? i recently tried doing a g2g transfer from wbs to some organic rgs with a plastic lid and it didnt take off while my other wbs g2g transfers have colonised as expected. not sure what the deal is but grass seed seems like a great idea so i will continue to give it a try.

Not my thread, but this has been answered several times. I know because I already asked lol. Any grass seed works, read more next time. :P

I just started a batch with WONDERLAWN Quick Lawn mix. picked it up at Ace hardware while I was shopping. 96% Rye Grass. Next I will be using a lawn mix with fescue and bluegrass from the feed store - much better price/bulk.

Moving on, I see a few people wondering where to get containers. I found some at the dollar store for cheap... but does anyone use Amazon? I mean I buy most my shit off there now. Click, bam, boom. I bought 5 double packs of the small and 4 double packs of the large. Not too pricey.

And on the topic of modifying the containers, I thought about this too, however that is my biggest problem with monotubs. Once modified, it has no general use. It has a specific use. I suppose my shotguns are still usable, but still, it is nice to have a bunch of good containers that I don't have to throw away if I ever get out of the hobby (Just getting started though!)

I just nocced up my first 8 containers. Happy to see the PC didn't melt them last night, let them cool overnight, and put some syringes to em this morning.

I don't have my SAB yet, but i did it in my greenhouse after lysol bombing. Just cracked the lids and squirted a CC or two in there. A couple I squirted on the side so I could see, couple others I just shot all over the top. Hopefully my inoculation comes off clean.

I haven't had luck with these particular vendor syringes on WBS, so hopefully GS will get em going. Some Pink Buffalo and Creeper. Both did abosolutely nothing on Bird seed, along with my completely wasted syringe of Cambodian. Maybe it was my WBS prep or something, I dont know.(my home made syringes kick the shit outta vendor syringes, but I wanted to experiment with other strains, psh waste) In a few days I'll probably crack the lids for GE.

If my Golden Teachers on WBS come through, I'll try a G2G from WBS to GS and see what happens. But its been a week and no sign of life yet. They worked on PF cakes so should work on bird seed. Anyway Ill check back in a few days.

One last little dent to hammer into place on that topic.
… There are ~9000 identified species of grasses.
Effectively we're talking about lawn grass here.

As a question what kind of silicone  all.  I did however do a top/bottoms ez felt, with thin layer on outer edge of filter disc each.  This gave a miniscule amount that crept into the edge of my 7/16 hole (I could see it when I put the first disc on each side) which effectively tied them togather making itpretty much impossible for them to come off unless I want them too.  I also went a step further out of parinoia and ran some around the outer edge of the discs once in place.  Just tried to peel one up with my nail and trust me these are not going anywhere without a knife and some prying.

Also for my injection ports I made "dog poop piles" on both top and bottom of lid, once again effectively making them one piece so they will not be able to come out without me wanting them too. 

That said I'm sure the crack method works perfect, but I drink heavily on occasion and don't want to accidentally forget to crack my lids before PC and/or chance contains by accidentally cracking to far as I'm still quite new (noob) to this.

No offense man but why did you just rip yourself off like that?  I already posted twice in here that amazon is selling these for under 5 bucks (4.88) a 6 pack with free shipping under subscribe and save, or just over 5 bucks with free shipping without using subscribe and save.  Your best bet is to click the sub and save button, then when your order ships go to your subs and remove it.

Or as said above the most economical way is through the dollar store if your local one carries them

Red, blue, clear silicone… they all easily fall off these lids. Sandpapering before may help, but, why bother? It's extra work, extra expense, little/no extra benefit, and effectively ruins the lid except for the unnecessary necessities of that particular approach.

That said, if you're gonna go to all the trouble and do such a full modification to the lid beyond my suggestion of poly, then I'd say yours is the way to do it actually. The whole center contact with double filters, with silicone holding them onto the lid from both sides via the middle just like injection ports, will eliminate most of the problems. Good one.

"Dog poop piles" hahahah!

Although I wouldn't be ordering them online unless had to (but why would I have to?), I must say I was thinking the same thing.
Most stores in my area don't sell them but the one I found that does sells them for less than a dollar each, in 3pks $2.40-$3

I definitely wish I hadn't drilled holes or silicone'd filters onto my first ones.
After just a couple runs with them it was clear that I had pretty much messed the containers up. The silicone could not be expected to stay on very well.
If you're really wanting to do something to this effect, or use syringes to adapt this method for newer growers, then the only modification I'd suggest is poly-fil. It doesn't require silicone which falls off these lids too easily



As a question what kind of silicone  all.  I did however do a top/bottoms ez felt, with thin layer on outer edge of filter disc each.  This gave a miniscule amount that crept into the edge of my 7/16 hole (I could see it when I put the first disc on each side) which effectively tied them togather making itpretty much impossible for them to come off unless I want them too.  I also went a step further out of parinoia and ran some around the outer edge of the discs once in place.  Just tried to peel one up with my nail and trust me these are not going anywhere without a knife and some prying.
Also for my injection ports I made "dog poop piles" on both top and bottom of lid, once again effectively making them one piece so they will not be able to come out without me wanting them too.



Red, blue, clear silicone… they all easily fall off these lids. Sandpapering before may help, but, why bother? It's extra work, extra expense, little/no extra benefit, and effectively ruins the lid except for the unnecessary necessities of that particular approach.

That said, if you're gonna go to all the trouble and do such a full modification to the lid beyond my suggestion of poly, then I'd say yours is the way to do it actually. The whole center contact with double filters, with silicone holding them onto the lid from both sides via the middle just like injection ports, will eliminate most of the problems. Good one.

"Dog poop piles" hahahah!

I'm sure the crack method works perfect, but I drink heavily on occasion and don't want to accidentally forget to crack my lids before PC and/or chance contains by accidentally cracking to far as I'm still quite new (noob) to this.



Not sure what to say… only thing that comes to mind is: do it right.

If you're having a hard time finding the small plastic twist containers (as I did at first), you can find them here. (Violet removed the link for the quotes) I ordered over 24 of those packs (order before 6pm EST) and they were at my front door the next day.



No offense man but why did you just rip yourself off like that?  I already posted twice in here that amazon is selling these for under 5 bucks (4.88) a 6 pack with free shipping under subscribe and save, or just over 5 bucks with free shipping without using subscribe and save.



Although I wouldn't be ordering them online unless had to (but why would I have to?), I must say I was thinking the same thing.
Most stores in my area don't sell them but the one I found that does sells them for less than a dollar each, in 3pks $2.40-$3




I have to admit, I did no shopping around (other than checking what the local market had on their shelves).  My wife knew  what I was wanting, and she told me she found them on the site she shops at all the time.

We ended up getting 21 packages of (3).  So 63 total containers.  It cost us $79.  So that's like 1.25 each.  Plus free shipping.  It seemed like a good deal to me!  :speechless:
