Update on weird shoebox from B+ spore swab. Looks like this now. What the hell is that giant cauliflower looking thing?! Could it be edible?? Gonna keep letting it grow to see what happens lol. At least I got one mushroom from it.

I stopped letting my PC sit full of water because I use jar lid rings to raise the rack up a bit. They get rusty then the water gets orange and stains my grain jars a bit. Makes it a little harder to see whats happening in them. Is it necessary to raise the rack a bit or is that an outdated practice? If I don't the amount of water I need to finish a cycle goes further up the side of the jar, maybe leading to less efficient sterilization? I dunno

You do need something. Most PCs come with a trivet for the bottom, this is perfectly fine to insulate the jars from touching the metal that is coming in direct contact with the heat source. If you don't have a trivet then lid rings are fine, but you can just use the trivet no problem.
If you're talking bags... well I've been reading everything from you need a towel in there to insulate, all the way to you need nothing but the trivet. I'll be experimenting with bags soon so I can't answer yet.

Oh a trivet would be nice, it probably won't get all rusty. Thanks

It really depends on how you fold your bags. When I had the extra large bags, I folded them so they would seal themselves, with large, I found I needed the tyvek sleeves to keep them from bursting.
With the sleeves the opening was facing up so just the trivet that came with my PC. The sleeveless bags the opening was towards the side of the pc, so I was worried water would get in and used cat food cans to raise the trivet.

Likely you can order one that will fit your PC for pretty cheap! Good luck.

I just use a few balls of tin foil crumpled up and flattened a bit. Works great.

That must be new, I've read Mushboy chipping in with helpful stuff here and there for awhile and never saw a TC tag. Good work

It seems to come and go every now and then. I never know why it does that. Like the tag will be gone one time I see mushboys name and the next time itβs back

Just curious.. how do you keep tubs from fruiting? I made 4 shoeboxes about a week ago and stacked them in a corner and figured i had plenty of time before i had to even look at them.. Checked last night and they havne't colonized much but 2 of them already have shrooms popping up.
I left them in a room with sunlight coming through windows but not directly on the boxes.. (forgot light can trigger, cause too much drugs lately) Keeping them in total darkness will stop fruiting?
P.S. after spending like 2k on growing gear it turns out.. i fucking HATE growing weed... just bought a DWC hydro setup and went to get some tubing this morning and it just hit me, I hate doing this.. why do i keep spending money? Plus i really don't enjoy how weed makes me feel anymore. I have been smoking so much that i'm just lazy and lethargic.. life is too short to sit around stoned getting fat
(just a little rant, have a great day guys!)

Thanks for clarifying that I thought my phone was glitching or something.

Man I feel that. I grew weed for many years. Just recently I said fuck it itβs jot worth the risk anymore (not in a friendly state) so I stopped growing after I collected thousands of seeds and diff growing gear.
