JJ i have SAME problem in my GH. i didn't line ANY tray, they are all see thru, and I'm getting all kinda side pins, its fucking annoying, even with a casing on each tray. i have perlite in there, but just to catch the drips/excess from the pong fogger, that things packs a wallop. think early morning dew fog fairy land on a 15 minute timer

I would just pop those out of the container and let em grow from the side. Cubes love to grow from the sides of their substrate in nature, so IME once that side pin floodgate opens there is no bringing it back without sacrificing overall yield.

I just put the colonized substrate on a piece of foil. I think If I do the bulk bricks with a liner it will work way better. I'll make a bulk brick 2.0 thread when I get there but yea if you take the whole "cake" out of that container and put it on a piece of foil and make sure it stays moist it will do great.

well fuck. if i didn't think so much, i'd be pretty good at this. talked myself out of birthing the bricks a couple days ago, but i'm still not sure they won't dry out too much. i think i'll plunk in the shotty that one that hasn't yet pinned.

haha yea the led's in them are kinda corny, but i keep it in a big bucket of water so i only see them if the lights are off.
be careful if u are sick and doing SAB work, i think i fucked up a bunch of jars doing that once. can;t be sure if it was my flu or just shoddy work, but i follow same procedure each time in SAB. I'm thinking just breathing germs out must have gotten into SAB and into my jars during g2g.
take reishi extract every day! u won't get sick! (this statement has not been evaluated by the FDA ) works for me

Working on myco stuff while you've got an infection can be really counter productive!!
take a rest brudda! as I believe a great cultivator once said ... "you are the contaminate"

good lookin out, y'all. it's not a flu-like contagious-thru-the-air thing, so i'm not sweating it. need to get a reishi culture of my own sometime, tho. don't want to scale up growing actives. i wonder, what does reishi fruit go for at the farmers' market? (that's ok to discuss, right?)
one thing about this hobby that annoys me. it took more time to formulate my plans today than it took to execute. an hour or so of madsci fun per week of waiting. must resist the urge to turn my whole place into grow space.

that post hit home dude! my room mate just recently said something to me about my shit. I'm essentially taking up two rooms with my stuff. i gotta figure something out.
reishi i have not seen at a farmers market, usually extracts are what is sold, not dry product, but u can find extracts at whole foods or any health food place. quite expensive actually, I'm planning on making some extracts with my harvest and selling them over the summer.

I recently had to throw out 18 bacteria contaminated jars that I G2Gd while I was sick. It was the first time I have ever had a contam after G2G and it wiped out 2/3 of my spawn. I'm just glad I still have a tone of healthy growth on agar to get me back on track.

If you had reishi you could just sell them as is at a market, no one knows what they are and they're so unique people would pay just to have them.

mudafuka, that blows for serious. makes me wonder, why does being sick worsen the odds of contamination? i mean, we're all covered in bacteria and whatnot regardless of being ill. and i guess viruses are irrelevant. ok, except i guess being sick makes noses run, coughing, sneezing and so yeah, i get it. no myco whilst ill. lucky for me, today's illness is at the other end... yep.. lucky me.

yea our mouths are dirty no matter what I would think sick vs not sick is completely irrelevant. I've done mycology work with a cold no problem Sterile is sterile.

muda/bodhi i just took two unlined trays out of their container that were in my GH cause of the amt of side pins. u guys said just put them on foil right? only reason I'm hesitant (i did it anyway tho) is cause i have a 24/7 cool mist that can sometimes dry out casings. ill just keep an eye on it.

If you have a bacterial infection your breathing it, it's crawling all over your skin, the air around you, etc..
It just makes it harder to be sanitary because there is so much more contamination coming from you than normal.
I know I tried to keep a couple cultures going while I had an upper respiratory infection (eventually turned to pneumonia) that lasted a little over a month & I ended up having to start over fresh (hence my tubs in 2014 thread) because I lost everything to bacteria.
Since then I've been blowing thru agar plates like nobody's business to make sure I have plenty of good clean stuff to go back to, but it can be devastating

I put them on foil but that's in a SGFC not in a GH so  I don't know what your best option is

whenever I've taken a sub out of its container I just put it on the tubs lid but foil should be fine. You will really need to watch that it doesn't dry out. I had an ultrasonic in my GH and still had to mist regularly when fruiting bulk cakes.
