How many drops of food coloring do you guys put in your agar. I've always used 2 drops per 500mL but this new food coloring I got is shit I put like 10 drops of red and it came out light pink. I made batch and put one drop on green from my old food color. Then to see how many drops it would take to change to blue I put about 8 drops of blue and still got green at best its turquoise. Same brand and everything just a different batch and new batch blows. Anyways is this much food coloring in these 2 batches going to harm anything? Agar is still perfectly clear just weird colors now hahaha.

To add to this question, how do you cut down on mold? i.e remove everything on the surface, leave pins ect
I have always struggled to tell what is an abort or just small pins waiting to go again. ATM im almost shaving everything off so the remanence of a harvest doesnt go moldy.

I have not, but judging from the pics there is more airflow with the polyfill tub. Perhaps i missed something.

I do 5 drops, using dollar store brand food coloring. How old is your food coloring? I used old stuff before and after the PC it was a faded color.

So here is some photos of after 1st flush subs. 1 I didnt scrape the pins off to see what happens

There is a problem with side pinning and using 4 of these per mono tubs makes it quite a lot of work.
I probably going to let them flush twice as space is tight.

You don't need the high temp red/blue/black silicone. Just get the cheapest clear silicone. It's good for up to 300F. Your max PC temp is around 250F.

Brace yourself, no bulks really need to get sterilized! Excluding muda bottle style grows; bulks like poo only get pasteurized, some sterilized bulks like poo will actually contam out fast if you sterilize it and expose it to air.
Coirs kinda funny, you can cold hydrate, hot hydrate, pasteurize, or sterilize and it'll all work.

I had a great looking agar in a way too big jar, and needed the lid. Since the agar was slurry-like, I just piled the whole thing in a small plastic container with some cooked coir and verm. This probably gonna fail, but I was tempted into it by the fact that we consider coir good enough to use without PCing. Open air is the main problem ofc with what I did, could have done it in the SAB but I was so tempted by that coir. I even added a few corns of rice.
Damn you coir, if you werent so tempting to use because of no PC, I'd never do that

Coir breaks the rules. It triggers an autistic anger in me that it does

coir!!!

Surface conditions. Pins are increasing on the tray. Because of the new 300 w lightning, im following it closely and focusing on misting enough.
I'm seeing evaporation or usage of water on the surface. I now daily replace those waterly "pearls" and "beads" that other posters are talking abut.
Here's 3 closeup shots of the Thin Tray

Na. It's the great value crap same one I been using for years but I think I got a bad batch this time. When I opened the box some of the color had spilled out inside too. I feel like they found a 5 year old box in the back and stuck it on the shelf. Then here comes my happy ass looking for food color. They found their sucker.

Depends what species but with most cubensis id say around 70-75. Itβs important to remember the myc creates some heat as it grows so whatever your room temp is the jars will be slightly warmer.

Thank you! I'll turn that Temp down right away. I've been seeing numbers from 70 up to 86. I really want my first project to go well.
