Soooo. I’ve got some strange fruit popping up. I knew things could get crazy when I accidentally mixed Huatla and Penis Envy. But my other box of just Huatla is all weird and deformed as well. What are your thoughts fruits smell good, don’t look contaminated nothing is off. To eat or not to eat?

And your PE probably hasn't even popped up yet. Seems how they take longer for fruit formation. Your 2nd flush should be interesting

Awesome, and yes the APE hasn’t come up yet. I’ve got another box with just APE and I don’t have any knots yet and it’s been almost two week. But I think they’re just beginning to form.
On the other hand,
Second flush of golden teacher. Monsters all around. Go figure. I’ve already harvested about 200 grams off these 2 cakes will probably have at least 200 in these 10 mushrooms 🍄

thats the case for the yoda culture. The boner culture just looks a little weak and rings make me nervous because mold likes to do that, but cubes do too with the right contrast. The rw culture looks sketch in the center 60mmQuote:

Honestly I thought it was becoming Ariel towards the end because of c02 build up. Seems how they've been wrapped up and running longer then a culture on a 100mm plate. Kinda like how this prick is almost at a stand still now.  I mean it is a rather large stretch without getting a breather. But I am speculating
that could be the case, but i would assume it would do it along the whole circumference, not just here and there.

I couldn't find a thread dedicated just to grain spawn so I felt like this might be a good place to go.
So yesterday I sterilized some grain in quart jars in my presto pc. I used bods tek and followed it pretty much to a T. But my grains came out quite damp and clumpy.
I used a sfd paired with only the outer ring of a lid. I've heard to use the lid flipped upside down underneath the sfd but I vaguely remembered someone on here saying fuck that. I covered the lids with foil but when I took the foil off there was condensation underneath. so, I'm afraid moisture got in during the sterilization cycle.
I also let my grains dry over night in the fridge because my colander wasnt large enough for all the grains to dry out just sitting on the counter.
Should I use a flipped lid paired with my SFD? Should I get multiple colanders? were my grains to wet to begin with? or did the PC get them wet?
Any and all tips are appreciated

Dry your grains out longer in open air. Use a fan if you have to.

With the grains, idk about the fridge but maybe the cold make the starch like sticky or something but I've not done it so irdk. To get them dry I strain them let them steam dry for a bit then put them in a pillow case or between 2 towels to get as much moisture off before loading them.
As for the lids, I drill a 4mm hole in the lid cut a piece of sfd the size of a coin out of a filter and stick it to the lid with silicon. Once its completely dry, put it on right way up, cover with foil and PC for 2 hours.

You may want to ask here ---> BOD's Easy AF OAT prep tek Since it is were you got the tek from.
I personally put the lid on rubber side down, then the SFD, then the locking ring. That way the only way anything is gonna get past the SFD from the sides will have to travel all the way to the middle were the GE hole is.
I would say just using the SFD and the locking ring would allow some moisture to get in as the SFD expands and contracts through pressure and temp changes. But,, the tinfoil should have prevented much of the outside moisture to get in if it was on tight.
Did you rinse your grains before hydrating them? I heard allot of dust from not rinsing can cause clumping.
Did you have allot of burst grains? Having excessive burst grains can make things a bit sticky and clumpy.
All I do is hydrate the grains till I see some bursting then I grab a few and cut em in half. When I only see a sewing needle of thickness of white in the middle I pull em off the stove then into the strainer. I let em sit the night and they finish hydrating the last sewing pin sized white part in the middle. Also the husk drys out pretty good on the outside.
Oats seem to hold a shitload of water and I've loaded jars when the husks are almost white again. Then after the PC cycle they are shiny wet, then look proper two days later.
It may be possable just using the locking ring and the SFD may have something to do with it but the tinfoil should have prevented that. I honestly wouldn't feel comfortable with just a locking ring and SFD between millions of spores and my grain. I feel more comfortable when those spores have to somehow drift to the center of the lid under the SFD to get in if they pass the locking ring.
I would comfortably bet your grains were still too wet when ya loaded it.
Pictures would have been helpful to see what you got there.

Water didn't penetrate the sfd but without a lid under it those grains will dry out way too fast. You grain was too wet to begin with. Forget a collander, get a big framed screen, like a window screen. I use a snake cage lid

was hesitant to put it rubber side down because wouldn't the rubber gasket seal the jar completely? leaving no GE
I had lots of burst grains and didn't rinse them that well. So just double fuck up there
I think im gonna cut out some pieces of an sfd and silicone them down. seems like the best way to get the most use out of them
so just to clarify, the grains when dried out to the correct level will be pretty dry on the outside?
