Tried with the advanced search, but looking for info on fruiting PE in a filter patch bag. I assume all is straightforward, 1:2 dumped into a bag, allow to colonize, then just unfold the bag, case, and fold it back down again?
If anyone follows the FB shroomery page, "Thomas" has a bag tek on there and I followed that for some RW with limited success. 
Definitely need to improve on my technique here, I just neglected it and it pry would have appreciated some FAE holes being cut in, but I want to move forward with the bags and I'm currently trying to get a PE swab (thanks again Legend!) germinated and just looking ahead into fruiting questions. Any links to PE bag grows that I somehow missed would be sweet, thanks cult

Swabs are RARELY clean IME... I think I've had 3 in a dozen that were viable...

Legend - Ill for sure be updating, I am excited either way to start working with it. 1st or 100th time, I appreciate you taking the time to do it and for passing it along!
Caps - That's highly discouraging lol. Your're saying 9 swabs were just bunk or too bacterial to salvage any clean myc? All 12 from the same source, or is this in general out of 12 attempts only 3 were viable?
just seems like really low odds of success if that's that norm for swabs, and I didn't think I seen that pattern of failure with them represented here that often. Ugh thanks for the insight tho, like I said, I am excited to get it going either way! If the swab doesn't work out, I'll look into a vendor for a syringe

After 3 minutes of making him wait outside my door so I could hide all my tubs under my blanket i let him in to check for the leak.
Thank God I rent from basically slumlords in a busy area and maintenance doesnt give a fuck and just wants to do their job n go home. That dude has had to move piles of quart jars I was putting off cleaning and hid under the sink before and didnt bat an eye haha I feel pretty safe rn thankfully.
Fuckin apartment growing  not many other options right here in the city though. Still worth it but def gonna take a few months off once i harvest everything in a couple days.
I feel all of this hard. I have a bit more space than you, but my "bedroom" (i.e. that corner of the apartment) has turned mostly into storage of building supplies for mycology bullshit. I really need to get rid of some shit to make space for this small ass life style. . . and it won't be mycology stuff

So I cracked one of LCs while shaking it. I know.. I need to lay off the roids.
Whats the best procedure for saving it? I need to knock up 18qts with it today and I am making a secondary LC to transfer some of the old LC into.
Should I just use up, transfer & start new and dump the old? Or should I try to transfer all of it and save the culture?

Fresh swabs are the only one's that have made it... Different sources, not used immediately... I postulate it's the degree of moisture present at the time of the swab... Really no way of avoiding infection eventually IMO... Had one that didn't grow ANYTHING... So it was completely clean! LOL

I had one I streaked 3 plates with and all 3 where completely void of any type of growth used the same swab in a 4th dish cut the tip off and left it in the dish. Got growth from it after like 3 weeks. Kept the swiped dishes too never saw so much as a bacterial spot in those.

The only time Iβve gotten one to work was when I used tweezers to grab a tiny piece of the cotton. That ended up germing

damn debbie downers lol naw i get it, if that's what everyone's experience has been, then Ill assume I am going to be challenged with germination.
It was only streaked the other night, so today would be day 2 anyways.

I've worked with a few swabs, I'd say half worked easy no problem, the others were a mixed bag.
A trick someone on here recommended, which worked on a stubborn swab that wasn't germing: just stick the fucker in the damn agar and twist it. I tried 3 attempts getting more and more agressive with that swab on agar but nothing! Then I stuck that shit in deep and twisted it around and it germinated. The swab is likely fucked as a result, but it worked
