I do, considering bruised tissue can wipe off too, creating a false positive.
That test was bunk 10 years ago.

i think i saw someone recommends putting down wax paper or something to protect the sub and easily remove the plastic, and i think earlier in this thread it was recommended to put duct tape on the tub where you plan to drill to avoid cracking the plastic while drilling. never personally done the hot soup can method...

Well i used a soda can with a 2" diameter. Just left it on the stove for a couple minutes then picked it up with a tool and towel and pushed it firmly on the tub. Went clean through after about 5 seconds no problem. Just needed to heat again after each hole of course.
Yeah my grow is starting to come together now. That popcorn jar i told you about blue, it noc'ed 12 more jars with a couple grains in each g2g, then i cased the remaining 1/3 jar. The casing is fruiting sweetly, and the other jars are ready to become a tub tomorrow after pasteurization of the coir sub. Will be using Frank's tek so no casing.
These are either equador or amazonian, i'm not sure the syringes got all mixed up at some point lol. Can anybody perhaps tell me what these are, or is it too early to tell?

No one is going to be able to id the difference between two classic cubes Mutant varieties like PE, APE, AA+, sure but most of the classic varieties look pretty much the same.

Ah i see. Oh well maybe i'll notice slight differences in future projects. It's all cubes right. i'm hoping it'll be potent as hell! If not, just eat more

My ambient humidity is 96%  
And forecasted to stay high all week. At least tropical africa is throwing me a bone! Although i do take the occasional risk (just had to move a 6" rain spider from my room, admittedly leaving the windows open for fae is really just inviting all sorts of insects, scorpions, spiders and verm into the house!) i may have to rethink that strategy.

I'm going to post this pic in this thread since it's my first monotub with this process. Apologies if I should have put it somewhere else.
Put my tub into fruiting conditions 3 days ago...and I don't know...but something just tells me this is not what I am suppose to be seeing... lol
Just kidding...cause I'm really frustrated on this damn thing and yea I realize I gotta chunk it...but for experience sake...this just looks different than a lot of contam pics I have seen posted in the forum. This is like lime green and strangely fluffy! Anyway, glad to put it in the contam forum, but thought I'd share with you guys.

Yeah get that out of your house. If you put it outside and water it everyday I think it is still warm enough you might get a few fruits. Of course I did see on the forecast it is supposed to get a lot colder around here next week
Edit: Fortunately I don't have much experience with contams so I couldn't tell you what it is but the way I see it what does it matter? A contam is a contam

It's outta the house! Dug a hole, put it in it...gave it a little water and covered with a few leaves. That thing sure was big and heavy and when I took it out of the tub it was pure white through and through...was pretty to see. Anyway, yea there is a cold snap coming and that will probably kill it off for sure...but I'll watch it a bit and see what happens. Thanks.
On to the next "attempted" grow!

you can cover it with a trash bag or something to try to insulate it a little if it's only a minor cold snap until the weather gets warm again

There's a small twig/branch/piece of coir thing sticking straight up out of the substrate and into the air, it's covered in mycelium, and on the top of that twig thing there's a little pin.
What a brave soldier.
