When I use oats, I will let them dry overnight, in the fridge though.

Ah I do have an extra scalpel handle, that might be the way.
It’s something to do with the pc because they never got stuck when I used the instant pot. I for sure over tightened them the first time cuz a couple the band wouldn’t even turn loose. This time the bands came off super easy but those lids had a death grip.
It also could have something to do with the fact that I let them sit for about a week to make sure they were ok before using them.
Anyway I have new question now. Has anybody accidentally cooked an lc before? I poured the last of my toc lc into two jars and neither of them are doing anything but the jars aren’t showing contam either. Only thing I can think of is I’ve had them close to the wall that gets sun in the afternoon so maybe they over heated. I’ve had fruiting tubs get to 100 before and be ok but I bet myc in water is more vulnerable.
Idk for sure but they definitely could’ve been up around 100-105 for 3-5 hours a day.
It looked normal when I poured it though. I’m gonna cook up some agar later and test my other ones.

Scalpel handle as a pry bar definitely did the trick.

One of the things I read here says we are supposed to be flipping the lids upside down so the seal doesn't stick. Are we not doing that now? Everything I read here conflicts with something else I read here.

pry bar I was afraid of nicking the lid/seal. Butt Hay! Today I learned to scrape the rubber seal outta the lids.
And Crackatoa, I'm gonna try your oat prep tek. I've been boiling the oats for 35 min, then checking the inside for grayness...but your way seems gentler on the oats.

Some people do that, I personally do not (for aesthetic reasons). Either method works, why people do both. This applies only to the PF Tek.

I got some unicorn bags showing up today. Was gonna use them for edibles when I get those rolling, but since Im prepping some more grain anyway, I think I might use some for some APE Im getting ready to do. Never used bags before. How much spore solution yall push in there? How much rye grain can I fit in a 3T or 10T bag? Im was planning to do 6 quart jars, can I fit all that in one bag or best to do 2 or more?

Id only ever use clean agar cultures to bags as there is a lot of grain to lose to a dirty syringe.
Something interesting im doing is using the spent substrate from cubensis grow for edibles...... Its as good as master mix.

I have faith in the vendor I get syringes from. Dozens of syringes bought from them over the years and not once has one failed me.
Ive heard other folks say the same about recycling spent cube subs for edibles. Gonna have to remember that.

I usually g2g my bags. The first bags I ever used , I used syringe MS and both bags turned green. It is best to use clean samples but if you got faith. But it's still a risk. Plus a lot time wasted. The bags I have now are tall and skinny. Dont really like them because it's hard to mix up. They dont hold but 3-4qts comfortably. Your bags idk how much. Probably double that right. I'd say 6qt would be fit. Idk tho

Yeah I wouldnt risk putting clean syringe in a bag as working with spores I know they are very hard to get 100% clean just through the nature of the process. Maybe a jar first would be the best idea.

Hey fellas as part of a free gift I got a syringe of spores marked A+ (not Albino A+). Are these cubes?
I've seen conflicting info on here that they're cubes or that they're mexicana. I also have seen some threads where people say they have different growing condition requirements. Vendor's website doesn't state species.

Pretty sure they’re cubes.
I think aa+ is just the leucistic version but I’m not positive.
It should say on the syringe.
So I just googled it says it’s cube.
But most of the results were about aa+ and I came across a forum claiming albino or Lucy shrooms have a higher average potency.
Anybody heard of that? Seems kinda random but I know ape is generally considered stronger than PE and the people that have eaten mine said aa+ was right behind PE.

I believe them to be cubes. A+ is a cube, Mexicana strain A is something different.

A+ is a cube. Or at least, theres a cube variety called A+. Albino A+ seems to be more common these days, but I remember back when I was getting started, A+ was a popular choice.

My understanding was that you shouldn't do this with PF tek jars because it disturbs the dry verm layer and could increase chances of contaminations getting wicked in, in addition to restricting gas exchange. Has anyone looked into this further to determine if those are valid concerns or not?

How would it disturb the dry barrier? I dont see why you couldnt use one way or the other with PF jars. The 4 inoculation/GE holes provide for enough air exchange, and unless youre flipping or handling the jars harshly, the dry layer isnt an issue.
Flipping the lids metal side down just makes it easier to get them off later. Nothing else.
