The heater burnt out (thermal fuse blew) and it just wouldn't turn on anymore. I verified this by taking it apart and directly wiring the fan, bypassing the heater, and the fan was still working.
Bought 5 new fuses for like a dollar each and got it working again

If anyone has a nesco that won't turn on anymore this is most likely your issue and can be fixed pretty easily with a couple screw drivers and new fuses which are super cheap.
Who knows how long the new fuse will last though. I'll update if it just burns out again real quick but its the exact same type of fuse and the first lasted me a pretty long time.
You should make a tek if u have time. I bet this happens to everyone and they just toss and re buy. Such a waste.

I had to fix my Presto OG dehydrator with no dial. Got it for 10 bucks.
Unfortunately the fan turns off when the heating element turns off as well. Both turn back on when the thermal fuse cools down enough. But it works and it saved me money.
Good job Sh4d0ws.

What do you think about these jars? They're all made by sub-optimal Agar-plates (By T0 or T1 Transfers from Spores, but all plates without visible contamination).
Would you guys spawn them?

I dont love how they look but i have spawned jars that looked like yours without problems.
You have already yolo'd the T0 so you might as well YOLO all the way to spawning to bulk.
Next time i'd wait to get to T2

I have T2-T4 jars, don't worry, made these just because of lockdown-rage  Knew from the beginning they won't be a success, but thought they wouldnt even reach the current level.
Could you explain why you dont love the view? Wanna get a better view for it and at most of the pics I can't see negative indicators with my current experience.

I never ever fillmy pc with water for agar, my media bottles never touch water and they never boil over.

So 1st flush is close to done and harvested 56~g dry. Not bad because it's 56 g mushrooms anyway however I was wondering why did i get such return of weight when I used 2.25 quarts spawn for a ratio to substrate of 1/2.5. And then I was reading this thread where Mad Season spawned to HPOO with a super low spawn ratio and did exceptionally well. I however used coir and cased with 50/50 peat/verm that was rather thick too (I know cubes dont need it, needed to experiment lol). Where could this possibly be blamed on?
Another thing, after harvesting the main flush, some little pins were left behind in hopes of them growing. It's close to 2 days now and they haven't taken off yet, they are not aborts either however they look a little beat up. Is there a waiting time where they just suddenly take off?

They look bacterial, you lose nothing to spawn if you have the substrate to spare however I'd start a parallel project because these have a higher chance for diminshed returns and worst case scenario mold contamination take over. I had trich eat up a tub of mine with spawn the "looked" better than this, although "looked" is a stretch because yeah they were white but they were kinda thickened up and colonized quickly so they also could be woese than yours in essence  but yeah, why not spawn if you are not in a rush. Better than waste it

56g dry for one flush from about 2qts spawn is pretty normal for random cultures.

What indicates this for you? Wanna get a better view for it.
I'll decided to spawn 3 of them in 3 old growkit-boxes. Maybe I'll try a mini-monot with the other 3 jars but I think thats not enough spawn. Maybe I'll put them also in growkit-sized boxes.

Uncolonized grains with a gradient of colonization around them. Wet grain-stuck-to-glass look. As if someone took a brush and brushed off the smooth flow of mycelium flow colonization. thats a contam look, when its transparent its bacteria

Okay, thanks for explanation! I'll go for more jars today, they are waiting for inoculation, cooked them yesterday - So maybe they get better, first time I have a real PC with pressure-control and this stuff, think the old one was not even reaching right pressure/temp constantly. Gonna take my T3 Agar-plates, they grew very well und show pretty rhizomorphic grow.

A flush of 50wet from 70grams of grain, is 140%. How good is that for cubes, rustywhytes or golden teachers

I think I'm gonna get a cheap body weight scale for grain prep. I like measuring my coir and water so I guess dialing in my bags and grain would be smart. I like 1 bag 1 tub but IDK the perfect amount of grain per bag. Just loaded 4 bags of oats each ~5qt of oats. Fit the presto just right, but maybe 5 bags each at 4qt would be more efficient.

Yah. I am a bit amazed more people don't do this. I have a cheap 25lb scale and all my shit is measured every time. Its so easy. I no-prep, pre-seal dry wheat berries and boiling water to exact weight and it perfectly fills my presto 23 and I get no popped bags. Theres no way I could do that without weighing.
