new to shroomery first grow log introduction

Hello everyone im new to the shroomery, but been into mycology for 5 years now, im looking forward to learning and growing with everyone. So here ill start with the layout, so far theres 32 quarts of wbs spawn nocced up, with golden teachers, pf classic, b , malabar, ecuador, and z strain All are from multispore as i am just getting back into mycology from a 2 year break. Soon agar is planned. First jars from the new beginning nocced up on 7/17. 8 jars have started colonizing but growth has been painfully slow, i think due to need of larger fae ports. Being a bit rusty ive been worried but no signs of contams in any jars yet. Any advice on making spawn is appreciated.

always post pics, use agar, if you dont use agar use 1-2drops max pr qt jar. and dont blame the jar lids if you followed a tek and have a GE-filter. if there is almost no myc present it wouldn't need much ge anyway.

Nothing new to add here but I just wanted to second spacechild and say that I think all the new guys should start with agar before anything else. If you can boil water you can make agar and its an awesome thing to know early on.

my first bulk grow was steam popcorn for 90mins 0psi, shoot 1cc pr jar, wait 2 months for the bacterial mess to cover all the grains then spawn. "it worked" man I hate that sentence!

Welcome back to the hobby. Avoid the MS Spore approach to grain and start with AGAR. You wont regret it. MS is notoriously dirty (Contams). Using agar you can ensure that you start with a clean culture. After that its almost too easy. Good sterile practices and youre pumping out flush after flush.
The community here is great. The information available is priceless. Use the search function before asking questions that may have been asked a thousand times before and always try to use current information not posts from ten years ago.
Have fun.

I don't think that's going to help keep your spawn clean.

Ill be gathering agar supplies thursday when i get paid for everyone whos been worried about my not using it. I will say ive always had decent results in the past with ms obviously i can do better though. Kind of discouraged by some peoples comments on this forum so far, maybe we can be more positive

 Even those Himalayan salt lamps are detrimental. The shrooms being ultra spiritual themselves need the negative EMF and negative energy themselves

Looks more like wet/burst grains more than bacteria. Might be a bit slow because of this but looks okay to me. Could be wrong though.

There is no way that little air pump is going to provide enough FAE for that tub. You need to make some larger holes and stuff with polyfiill or tape with micropore. Search for Mono tubs and you will be blessed with all the info you could possibly need and good luck it looks good so far. you dont want to screw it up now.
note the taped holes on this mini mono

and on this full sized mono

Thats a bit extreme. Just some holes and polyfil or Micropore tape. Just search monotub and you will be fine. Ducts and forced air wont give you a better yield than a properly dialed in mono and dialing them in is EASY!
This Mini Mono yielded just under 700G the first flush. Note the holes covered in Micropore tape. one on each side. The two end holes are just under the handles.

Yep, definitely sounds like a blast. Guess the world needs people who aren't satisfied just doing what works.
