That's amazing, my AA tub is almost identical except you had much larger fruits for your first flush. I spawned it 1/2 however, It put out one canopy of small fruits and then two sort of flushes of much larger flushes. I still see a lot of pins but I misted the fuck out of it with a pretty strong spray so they probably won't make it, looking pretty blue. Not sure if I should toss it or not. I left a ton of stumps but they seem to be getting devoured by the myc, no signs of mold. Don't have much else going on yet, jars colonize very slowly for me with these low temps. Might as well just leave it, harvest and eat the side pins as they come up.
Finally managed to figure out some more pictures. This is the best one I've taken or so I thought, it looks much better on my phone but oh well. I'm extremely proud of it and currently painting it. Did my first session while tripping the other night.

So you say untreated coir is better than treated? What's about your casing layer?

I'm a bit confused too.
Just to confirm, the claim is untreated coir performs better than treated with heat?
(I usually get the mean green when I don't heat coir, both as a sub and casing)

No, he's not saying untreated is better. He's just saying untreated works.

Getting green with coir 95% of the time points to the spawn. I would however be hesitant to use hydroshop coir untreated. Pet grade sure but not for coir bought in a hydro shop.

Definitely the truth. I don't use hydro coir at all, even if i treat it.

What's the big difference? Isn't it just a coco husks that are mega pressed? Do the hydro coir companies not care as much and let other things get into their coconuts?

Hydro coir often purposely has trich in it because plants love it.

I have a possible dumb question. I have never had a problem with agar, the last set of transfers from a ms plate which seemed very clean all ended up with satellite germinations of some sort. I have changed nothing from my usual routine but it crossed my mind that a friend gave me a bag of coir bricks from a flower shop, is there any way that them being in the same room could have caused problems? They are all over the plates and not near the edge, I always set up my SAB, spray it down and load it up several minutes before working. I'm always very clean, flame my tools and never reach over my work, just trying to nail down what happened and wanted to eliminate possibilities.

Yes it's possible. Shower immediately before doing sterile work.

I have never showered before doing any sterile work and rarely have issues....
If you were working in a SAB and following proper sterile procedures I doubt it had anything to do with it, but this is just my opinion.

I know a lot of people don't shower before doing sterile work, but it is foolish and slightly oxymoronic. Does doing sterile work while your body is dirty even sound right?

I always go overboard being clean, shower and put on clothes that came straight out of the dryer, mask gloves wipe down with iso, ect and have been working with agar for the better part of a year done countless transfers this has never happened I was just suspicious that as soon as that shit was brought inside it happened to every plate I transferred to this last round. I have heard people say you can use that coir you just have to sterilize or pasteurize, didn't say anything about blowing your spore load through the roof.
Hopefully I just screwed up somehow and it was a fluke, I'll do more plates tonight to see what happens.

I also like to sterilize my scalpels with agar so the handles are sterile

Good Idea, I have to make more agar tonight anyway. I usually make several plates store them for sometimes a couple weeks before I use them at room temp and they are always clean so it had to be during the transfers.

I cover my hands with gloves, and arms with tyvek...arms and hands get washed beforehand...these are the only parts of my body that go inside my SAB.....why would the rest of my body matter if the air in the room I work in is still?

I don't think it's a topic to debate. Can you do sab work without showering? Sure Can you shower before sab work? Sure.

Can both be done with the same amount of success? Sure
If that's the case can we just skip the shower? Sure
