Anyone know what up w this PE6 plates? Cloud fluffy plate is germination plate, a swipe from a loop grown out. The other fluffy one is a first transfer.

Its so fluffy and has a little bluing in it its freakinh me outa bit. Both plates started from spore looked like that and I took a couple transfers from each.

The nice plate is 2nd transfer from spore, it looks extremly clean. Gunna only take transfers from that plate to grow out and put to grain.

But Ive never seen growth like the other plates in cubes. Maybe if I squirted spores all over but it germinated from a nice clean swipe.

Hoping nothing is hiding out in there?  Want it real clean Im growing out plates for 10-15 ms tubs from this culture

Do you have the hole configuration opposite from that of a typical monotub design? With the outlet holes on the long sides and the inlet holes on the short sides.

Yeah something like that, that was my first tub and I didn't know what I was doing at all but I'm still using it

i agree swapping the sides the holes are on and adding more inlets( i see 2 per side i think) would increase the flow rate giving more evaporation.

so maybe stamets 3 air exchanges per hour total flow is not optimal after all.


something is working in that tub and working well

the higher flow resulting in more evap improving performance but making more sensitive to the humidity of the room.

seem to work well
either that or you have a great hand and great cultures


great tub anyhow.

wish all mine looked like that

What variety? I received a swab of z strain from Aero and all plates were super fluffy. So when I made my first transfers, I used 2% nutrition instead of my usual 4% and they still grew fluffy as shit. I guess it's genetic or maybe you should try less nutrition. I know with my next set of transfers, I'm going to cut back to 1% and see how that comes along.

funny i never had fluffy growth from those spores
i use
9g light malt
9g agar
500ml water

nothing else
