That's what I do. I use a screw-driver though because it seems a little safer.

haha. Sweet thanks alot bod. Thats awesome information . SO the water you put it in is already at 180. Do you shut the heat source off once you put the sub in or maintain it? Im assuming you probably shutoff since you dont want the sub to go above 170 but figure ill ask just to be safe. Only stupid question is an unasked question right?
Ive always used steak knives from the side too. Still think thats a pain but Ive never done it another way so I guess I dont know what pain is lol.
Thanks again for your help shroomery! I so hope i get it right this time lol. ONce i get a hang of this hobby Im so makin shit tons of spore prints for this forum.

I have a gas stove, sometimes I'll leave the flame on so it's just barely staying lit. The temperature of the water actually drops just more slowly. By the time the water bath is down to 160(from the starting 180) my jars are about 140F and then they stay in that 140-160 range for an hour without any maintenance. Depends on how hot my jars are before I put them in my water bath(tap water temp is always different, this apartment blows) Usually I can turn it off or just leave it on very very low.
PRINTS! and a +5

The fruiting stage, and getting all that stuff down about proportions of moisture, evaporation, fresh air, and especially getting over a tendency to over-mist.

Yea, Like I say practice is the hard part. Once you practice doing the stuff comes easy. No one likes to have trial and error since no one likes to see a failed grow. Everyone wants it to go 100% perfect the first time and this kind of gets in most peoples way. You really just have to do it a lot and get a feel for it. Using words only tells half the story your eyes will see.
This is why taking very detailed good notes on your own grows is a great idea.

For me, still kind of an advanced noob that just done his first g2g a couple days ago,
The hardest things for me to wrap my head around is agar procedure, proper pasteurization, and gathering up to date pertinent information.
Like I just realized I can make my own spawn bags from oven bags, rtv silicone, and an sfd or tyvek.

yea I was pretty timid about pouring agar in a SAB. Trying to fuck around with no pour shit for weeks and then I finally just did it and actually had better results anyway.
the mindblown gif is the best.

Sweet. I have an electric not a gas but I think I can make it work from what you have told me so far lol . Or once I get my induction ready stockpot should be alot easier too. I actually have my own house so I can fuck with the water heater and set the temp to whatever I want though i keep it quite hot anyways. Hot enough so it will burn you if you dont turn cold on with the hot.
Dont know how she does it but the gf insists it stays like that. She takes all hot showers and comes out lookin like a cooked lobster lol. Needless to say ive never hopped in with her ;p
Yep prints! And you, cronicr and pastywhyte are picking the first three strains for me to grow and make prints with (all one grow ofcourse just 3 tubs) since you guys help me repeatedly lol. That is assuming you all live where it is legal for me to supply prints to you through the mail ofcourse .
Ok enough off topic stuff. Lets get the thread back to what its meant to be. One final thanks . Really appreciate people like you bod that go out of there way to help newbs find, experience and succeed at this great hobby. Shrooms for you.

I love mushrooms any mycology so much I just want to help others be successful. Most of the time I just leave shroomery open in a tab and check it every few minutes. I'll do that while I'm working on some mycology stuff or waiting for a PC cycle or something. Most of the time I just smoke a lot of weed.
my wife likes to take way way way too hot of showers too  I'm always like OW FUCK jesus christ you're going to get blisters.
I actually took a reading of my tap water on its hottest setting it's coming out at 140.2F today

Not letting the million and one internet opinions confuse me.
Just find/ pick a good source and stick with it, don't cobble together some random, frankenstein tek from odd advice found here or there. Or, if you do, and it fails, don't blame the tek that the majority of your process came from ( or the vendor yo got your spores from )...and then try out / modify some new tek.
It'll probably take you a few tries to get it right...using the same good tek. So, choose a good one, and try to perfect that process. Take notes and try try try again again. That way you can compare your results across similar 'parameters.' or sumthin.

pretty much. Frankenstein two or more teks doesn't usually work well. Try one, post results, get feedback, then try something else if you can't get it to work out well.

I would strongly encourage you to simply purchase spawn bags. They're a lot more durable, a LOT more, they don't require work to use, though you may still want to put a SHIP on it with silicone, and most of all they're also a lot cheaper than oven bags.

You could reuse them, but I wouldn't recommend it. Do you reuse oven bags? I've tried oven bags in the past and quickly abandoned that idea because I'd have too many of them break on me. Spawn bags are also a lot bigger, maybe 2-4x the size of the turkey sized oven bags from reynolds.
