It's starting to get to me, all these contams.
I'm going to play it safe and transfer twice more. Besides, the extra practice couldn't hurt. (it's mostly practicing my patience)
I can't wait to trip, it's been a few months now.

You've come this far! You're doing agar work, don't let a little mold make you sad! All mold is is a decomposer and you operate on all trophic levels! But same on the not tripping part, women. Lol.

Lol, thanks for the pep talk... and for teaching me a new word (trophic). 
Hah, in this case, my woman wants to trip and keeps bringing it up... not that it's a bad thing, I just wish I had some fungus to cram down our gullets.

well yesterday i swabbed some creeper spores, tried to clean up some plates (but ended up transferring the contam as well) started some MEA and some rye grains. today i inoculated some F+ as well as some Pink Buffalo, Texans, and Aussies to agar, and put some ALT #7 to rye berries!!! sometime tomorrow i plan on putting my cambodian and PE to rye berries to make a master grain.

looks like the KSSS is showing first signs of germination (not enough that a pic would show well, probably tomorrow). damn, i was kinda rooting for creeper. if KSSS has any growth nuances, lemme kno!

Well since I'm limited on dishes. I'm taking one out of the 3 total plates in each set with the best looking growth for transfer to new dishes. So Cs3t Cs2b and Cs3c are having one dish singled out and putting it onto two new dishes.
There will be 2 resulting of each set for a total of 6 new dishes (2) Cs4t (2) Cs3b (2) Cs4c
I'm doing this to make way for my Cyan prints and some edible cultures I have received. I'll still have plenty of creeper plates though don't worry. I just don't need 9 floating around right now.

So the very far left was 1 of the old plates selected from it's group of three for the best looking growth. Onto two new plates. Now I've got 9 free plates since I can recycle the old ones. that means a pan grow soonish.

lol jk but seriously when you get fruits I'd like to try my hand at those. By that time I should have something to trade and be ready to give them a good home .
Well still no growth on my plates (except for Aussie and gym). The gym finally germinated 2 or 3 days ago. The spores germinated into 2 separate patches. I just checked on it today and there is a 2 big green patches in the center of my myc (assuming that is gym mycelium.)
The Aussie is ready for some transfers tonight or tomorrow but I gotta find some makeshift plates or something first.

nice bodhi, looking forward to ur reishi grow along! I will join you.
KSSS plates grown a bit, but I'm gonna wait another day to do first transfer. creeper plates probably will have visible growth tomoro.

last week i made several transfers from pins grown out on agar, to agar. my usual is to leave anything i transfer from for a while to see if it contams, sort of a reality check on my sterile technique, which i might add seems quite good for a knoob.
anyway, those pin plates with slices taken, obviously keep growing out. but i noticed that the sections ahead of where they grow out seem to look so good compared to the rest, and even compared to the transfers i took from them. anyone else noticed this? one plate in particular, i'm gonna take some further transfers from a section and see how that goes. there's one small section where the sectors are so thick and well defined and ropey and grown ahead of the surrounding fluff, it's just gorgeous. i wish i could get a good photo of it without exposing it to open air.

finally made first transfers to plate 2 of KSSS. six sectors cut.
@ JJ yes i have noticed that too. i sometimes take from a plate already transferred from. I think the idea (correct me if I'm wrong anyone) is that the initial plate is most prone to con tams from either ur syringe or print, so u wanna transfer at first signs of growth to ensure clean transfer if indeed there were/are con tams from ur initial spore source.

thanks leaf, you rock.
trying to decide how i'm gonna go about spawning. like, spawn/bulk ratio, fruiting approach, monotub vs trays in sgfc. kinda broke right now, like to avoid buying stuff.
i have an idea to use these spinach tubs.
 2qts volume fills them up about 2.5", just under halfway up. how much headroom does the mush need? is it proportional to the sub depth? i figure 1:1 spawn ratio, 1qt spawn per tub. seem reasonable?
yeah, i eat a lot of spinach. how'd the hipster burn his mouth...?
he drank coffee before it was cool.
