Your jars only need molecular gas exchange, which can occur in even a loose unmodded lid ... I wouldnt suggest skipping the lid, as the filter alone will likely not do well against the shake... you can drill a hole and trim SFD's into nickel sized pads... get more out of each filter, and maintain the strength of the lid

I decided to G2G that chunky thick jar just too see what happens. I made a ton of jars to early and didn’t want them sitting around. Let’s see what happens

Ahh ok. So wouldn’t really be at too much of a risk of drying out then? I see what you’re saying about the shake. For next batch will get the metal lid back on!
These jars are about 3-4 days in, still patiently waiting. Forgot to inject on the side so it may be a while till I see anything.

Start agar yesterday. Spore to grain sucks for many reasons. Those jars may dry out before they even germinate. They definitely wont colonize fully. Even when we do use full sfds (which I do all the time) we still put the metal lid with a hole in it under the filter. Ive had Jars dry out when the hole is just barely too big. With the entire jar opening essentially open to air it wont retain the moisture it needs

Well, for now I don't have a lot of good shelving space that has lights set up, so I'm mostly using it for that as all I have set up for mycology right now (and for likely a month-ish) is my martha, hence the questions. You may remember my heating issues when I moved, which have now settled, but I've learned that the space I built out for mushrooms will be too challenging to regulate effectively, so I have to plan something else.
Basically, it's a temporary solution that I need to store my shoeboxes in my martha for about a month and I'm wondering how best to set it up for cubes (lids on or off).

Waiting on my first flush to come in then I’ll be cloning some to agar and going from there’s. No more syringes for me after this hopefully. Just had an extra and wanted to see what working w grain was like. Guess we’ll see what happens w these jars while I wait on agar stuff.

Ive never used a Martha, especially for cubes, but if i did i would either do it without the lid or just birth the shoebox and set it on the Martha shelf and reuse the shoebox before firsr flush

Lid on would kinda defeat the purpose of setting up a controlled environment. If you're dialed in right, you shouldn't need a lid to maintain higher humidity than the ambient surroundings.

Cool cool, thanks ya'll. It's not my favorite situation, just trying to do right by my mush.
Actually, maybe I can set up a little bench right next to the martha and just get the light from being close enough.

Don't think the grain will do anything to the filter (during shaking or whatever). People have used SFDs like that plenty of times. It's probably possible it could dry right out but I bet if it colonized within a reasonable time frame it would probably alright.

Not likely to happen with spore solition imo

Figure I’ll know by the time I have some clones isolated... have everything for that ready to go just waiting on fruits. In meantime, will order more SFDs and get the metal lids drilled with a couple small holes. Figure since I’ll be going from agar now won’t need to bother with injection ports for them. And then by the time I see what shakes out with these jars, I should have some agar isolates ready to go. Also saved a little from that syringe I used for the grain jars to squirt a couple drops on the plates and see what happens there!

i think the term isolating goes more for MS sectors , when you clone you narrow down the genetics enough to just test the culture and not have to do more isolating , am i right ?
also , when you drop spores from syringe to agar , get the smallest , and i mean SMALLEST tiny mini almost invisible drop , that'll do it , one big drop can ruin the moisture in there and cause bacteria , just my experience.

Excess moisture causing bacteria it may spread it.

Yeah. You should see my germ plates. I try for 1 drop put usually shoot out a lot more. Just gives me more inoculation points.

Why in the world do people put spore solution directly to agar
Bacteria causes bacteria not moisture.
