Could anyone tell me why the corners of my tubs are looking very slightly yellow and the myc is a little more fuzzy? Hard to tell in pics but there is a very slight discoloration at all 4 corners.



This is happening across multiple different tubs, just the corners are looking a little unhealthy but the rest of the tub looks perfect.

Close up of the center of a tub:



I have them on shelves in a 75-78 degree room, 40-50% RH usually. 1:3 spawn to sub ratio, coir/verm at field capacity. All the tubs are pasty's EZ dialed tubs with the optional hole added. No misting, just letting them ride and checking in here and there.

Is it possible that they just aren't getting enough FAE in those spots? That's what I'm leaning towards but I don't really understand how that's the case since the corners are closest to the holes. Too much moisture perhaps?




It's drying out in those spots. I'm guessing you have a really dry climate, the is a fan blowing on the tub, you mixed your sub a little dry or any combo of those things.

Anyone got any experience with ditching syringes for LC? When doing so much I find I have to keep filling my 50ml over and over and it feels like it's introducing unnecessary chances to contaminate my LC.

Something like a media bottle with a small spout that can withstand a PC. Fill it full of LC, a stir bar then knock it up. Let it do its thing then when I need to knock things up just squirt/pour LC out. Guess I could just say fuck it and just G2G again.




I really like to make 1500 cc of LC in a whiskey handle (captain morgan bottles are great for pouring). Alternatively you can use media bottles, salsa jars, mason jar or get jiggy with it and do something like this...

Right on thanks. Just saw those guns but figure I'm just overcomplicated something at this point. I was looking at 1l media bottles with GL45 caps that have a capable pouring tit on the end but I mean I guess if I'm keeping shit simple and I'm opening jars anyways that g2g just makes more sense.

Be nice to have a stand in the front of my flowhood with an inverted media bottle I could just spin a valve from close-open-close to dispense LC in a measured amount though. Ah well for now.

Fuck do I like that setup you got there with the gun though. No issues clogging? What gauge do you use for the needle?

Going to revisit bags this week and try the foil trick Pasty was mentioning to see if I can't figure these fuckers out.

Big time clogging issues if you don't do it right. Nice thick needle, keep it on constant spin while colonizing and you can't use it and then let it sit for a couple days or the myc grows inside the mechanisms and it clogs. I pretty much never us it any more because free pouring is so much less work. I almost never use needles for anything anymore.

It does seem slightly drier in those spots but the room never goes below 40% RH, no fan blowing, pretty heavy condensation on walls of tubs at all times and sub was actually a slight bit on the wet side compared to what I've seen from videos here.

I have noticed my coco doesn't hold as much water as other brands seem to, it only takes like 3.5 quarts of water to get 650 g of coco and 3 quarts of verm to around field capacity but I don't know if that's really relevant as long as it's at FC.

Maybe I'll try covering a hole or two on each tub see if that changes things. Thanks.

The amount of water in the sub is definitely relevant. I can't always be 100% certain from a pic but it looks very much like the questionable spots are right by the low hole and are drying. You can never trust that you'll be able to replicate what someone else did with success. One person never mists and another does. Too many variables to give text book answers to everything. I think you would have done well to mist her here and there.

That makes sense, I'll try some very light misting in the corners if it's not too late, see how that goes. Thanks for the speedy answer  :slider:

Thank you, needles is what I am trying to get away from especially when I need to fill a 50ml a dozen times. My brain is telling me that all the little holes in ships are just little breeding grounds for bacteria too.

Going to try media bottles with a GL45 spout and just pour.

Ran out of stir bars and Amazon can't get me any for a week anyone got a half decent tek on DIY stir bars? Not the plate just the bar.

Wonder if just a piece of ferrous metal rod coated in silicone will work in a pinch.

I don’t see why it wouldn’t.. wont float though.  Nail polish might work for the coat too.  You might have to do some testing... something small like a screw could do the trick

Got some leftover non-sterile MEA was thinking of using it up by making LC out of it instead of ELME any idea of what dilution would work? 1:2 prepared MEA to distilled water? Otherwise it's going down the sink.

Thanks for the tips on the stirrers, I made some molds out of plasticine to pour silicone around some metal headless screws.

I'm aware it has agar. That's how I was making agar plates with it, because it has agar. Which is a key ingredient in malt extract agar.
:joneswtf:
However waste not want not was wondering before I ditch the rest since I'm out of plates if I could dilute it to the point where it wouldn't solidify as much like how we make softer plates by dilution. I found the old agar broth tek which calls for 1:3 prepared MEA to water to make a broth.

If you’re gonna dump the agar don’t pour it down the sink put it in a disposable container and trash it
