So my ape swabs were clearly contaminated. I put different varieties to agar in the SAB at the same time and they are all looking lovely so far.
Would you attempt to save these? On the top one I see a hint of clean myc. Anything on these you'd transfer now or should I wait a bit?
I have 2 others that look similar, if I had more APE I'd just chuck them but I want the challenge.

By the way, if I'm using this thread for stuff that should be in more targeted threads let me know and I'll stop spamming it.

Just to update on a brief topic earlier. I tried logging in between devices again to see if that was the cause of unread threads being marked as read. It is not. At least not the sole cause. Could still be related in some way. Totally a non-issue really; just wanted to add this bit of info if anyone else was curious.

Is it normal read threads appear unread for you when you switch device? I spend half my time at my pc but use my phone sometimes also and each time I switch I have to open the threads I've read on the other device to mark them as read. No biggie but would prefer not to.

Not sure if this brand is somehow superior to cheaper brands, but I see a lot of folks going with I-Max lately (maybe cause that's all that was available at the time)
I'm guessing the benefit of going with a higher concentration, like 99.5% in this case, is that you can dilute it with distilled water to 70% and make it last quite a bit longer?
If anyone has a better alternative, let me know please.
Looking to stock up for awhile.

That's odd clockwork, it's the opposite for me. Every thread (at least in the boards I frequent) becomes marked as read. day or two ago was the last time but every thread in mush cult and getting started was marked as read so I couldn't tell which ones were new or how many posts within them were new. more a of psychological bummer than anything. It's robbing me or my dopamine fix I get when checking new threads and posts. lol

See I get the opposite, I get a huge buzz thinking that I've got another update telling me my jars are bad and then it's just the same one again lol

Occasionally my phone disconnects from internet access and I can either wait for it to come back or restart the phone. If I restart the phone while shroomery is open it reloads with all the threads being marked as read.

Yup, GypsyB. I am in your camp. When moving between devices, if I leave anything unread in my threads on one, the next time I log in from elsewhere, everything shows up as read from. Well, there will be new unread messages, but they start from the time as though I had read everything on the last log in.

Threads even show as unread to me when I switch device if I was the last poster. So until I got used to checking the name each time I'd often go in to read an update and it would just be my dumbass last comment!! I never logout on either device maybe I need to each time to update it.
I knocked up my first 3 large 10qt shoeboxes a week ago. One was from a meh looking jar but the other 2 were an all in one growbag split in 2 I bought whilst waiting for my first agar to germinate and completely forgot about. I think it was like 10 weeks after inoculation when I spawned it.
Well in less than a week one of the growbag tubs has about 15 pins on the surface and I'd estimate around 70 on the sides lol. I guess surface conditions is my next chapter of learning.
I used coir only, it was at field capacity and I tamped down the sides. Maybe I need to use a liner and a top layer until I can get it perfect.

Do I need to take any precautions when dumping contaminated grain that I've PC'd? How long should I PC moldy jars?
I'm aware that molds die at relatively low temperatures but do I need to be wary of potential toxins or shit like that produced by the molds?
I've been cooking 1-1.5 hr at 15 PSI then just dumping the contents out in my house where I do everything but just want to be sure.

I doubt it but I would still wear a mask and keep the place ventilated if you canβt go outside.
Mold never worried me until the first time I popped open a green jar and that green smoke wafted out. I totally underestimated the spore load.
Filling a tub with soapy water and opening the PCd jars underwater helps but itβs still fucking gross.

Yeah it's all around just wack lol. Even after PCing I know everything should be dead but the remnants are nasty as hell and I don't know enough to fully be comfortable. I did the opening jars underwater thing for some jars I didn't PC that just started to mold and yeah that sucked too.

any tips for drying grain in freezing temps? The steaming dry method doesn't really work right now.

anyone just hard boiling rye? was planning to treat it like wheat or oats and just dump it into a rolling boil. And just babysit the pot checking some grains every so often
