Hey guys I just got an add for a presto digital counter top canner it claims to meet USDA canning guidelines so 15 psi, fits 5 quarts and retails for 219 usd. It's not an as sterolclave but you could buy 5 for the price of one automated aa.

Neat if it's true would be great for those of us who run small shoebox type deals.i think it's on the list after a flow hood
, Being able to soak wbs, drain, fill the PC and not babysit it for 2 hours would do wonders for me.

You can get a 16qt presto PC for $80 and it holds 7 wide-mouth quart jars. I don't think the fact the one you are considering is electric is worth the extra $140

Because it requires no babysitting like a stovetop PC requires I have a 21qt and 16 qt PC.

As it is my workload is twice a week, measuring grains the night before, rinsing and soaking.
Day of I drain this grains in a bucket with 1/4 in holes lined with a paint strainer bag, Load jars, and PC for 2 hours in 21qt PC. In the 2nd PC I mix up a batch of no pours (pasty plates and reusable Petris) PC for 45 mins. It all finished about the same. In all it's about  2.5 to 3.5 hours depending on the grain drying and doing normal kitchen chores while working.

If I could theoretically cut that down to an hour. Draining grains, loading the jars , loading the PC and walk away letting it time itself I see the increased value. I could run grain 4 days a week making 20qts. Leaving 1 day to cook no pours. I fit 7 no pour plates inside a wide mouth jar so I could cook 35 plates per run. Possibly subbing out a lc broth for a bottle as I only make about 20 transfers per week.

This would not only cut out about 2 hours a week in time spent basically babysitting my PCs but spread it out into a shorter time each day. Leaving me free to do household chores and save some precious free time. Which if working 6 days a week, 8 to 10 hours a day is an insane value.

If we are talking straight dollars though in the 2 hours a week at my pay rate is see a return on investment at 4 weeks. We are also talking about a hobby where we spend $500 on a flow hood to protect a .25 petri dish, and $4 with of grain and substrate :strokebeard:.
I also grow food. So roughly after growing
4 or 10lbs of food at retail cost I've made up the difference.
This is all contingent on the USDA certifying it runs 15 psi.presto is being tight lipped about it. I imagine buy the time I get my 2x2 flow hood togather the verdict will be out

Boil you grains in the morning and steam dry them on a screen. Boom saved you 15 hours.

Tried it for about a year. Soaking draining and pcing is far more time efficient. I think I got the idea from mushboy. It works for oats, wbs , corn pretty much anything I've tried.

It's 25 mins to get to temp, 25 mins at boil, draining and drying for 30 mins then loading. 50 mins active work,30 mins passive so roughly an hour and 20 mins added to a cook day
Vs
5 minutes filling a bucket with water, dumping in 5.5qts of grain and parking it.letting it get dryish for 30 mins in the sink. Load and PC 35 mins active work adding no time to cook day.

I made a print book with the original prints I received from shroomery members.

It's already around 30-40 pages.

Super satisfying to look at, and insurance for the future

I just throw important shit like prints on the floor sometimes. I'd never walk on it, but for the most part you can't fuck em up much unless they get wet :lol: In a bag on the floor is safer of course. :thumbup:

I keep it all in a ball jar box typically.

Fuck it was a long day. One thing after another. Called a cab at lunch to go home and get some fucking cannabis so i dnt loose mine shit and start humping customers. Got halfway there and found it burried in my pocket. Balls!

Im worn out and i got sooooo much myco shit to do. Buncha a2g, make some germ plates, and clean a shitass ton of jars. They been soaking in a tub so the few grains left inside dnt weld themselves to the glass. I need to find me a cute trippy girlfriend to help me with this shit.

I got 50,000 fucking jars in all shapes and sizes so I toss my foil prints in a big widemouth jar.

Utilizing jars as much as I can because big totes full of glass jars just gets annoying. 500ml toothbrush holders, change jar beside the laundry machine, 250ml jars for spices. Got quart jars holding fasteners of every kind in the shop. Got a jar for making 2 smoke mix for the lawn trimmer, stop using butt-cans outside now I use butt-jars. Packed away old bedding in old monotubs, dog food bin is a monotub.. it goes on.

Hi guys, I'm getting ready to spawn to bulk. I have old coco coir bricks that's been sitting in open air for almost a year--will this suffice or do you recommend I purchase new coir?

Thanks very much.

I've used coir that sat in my gravel floored pole building for a year. As long as you bucket Tek it it should not hard or much it's not very nutritious.

Nice logbook tip and I love the mushy stickers. One of the lc vendors I use send them with everything usually 2 or 3 per culture. Im a sucker for cool stickers.

josex, do you use your BRF plates for normal spore prints/clone tissue too?? i know you said you don’t run clones really but just theoretically. i’ve been thinking of trying the BRF plates in order to get rid of any hidden bacteria i might have on my plates (they always look clean but i have been getting bacteria like a bitch lately.) i was gonna use them after i got some growth on a normal agar plate first, didn’t even think of going directly to BRF first

Hey I have that same EQ print lol.


I gotta get a binder. I’ve been saying that for months but right now I just have a drawer with like six ziplocks full of random prints and smaller bags of more prints.

Binders of spores... I like it.
Are those for trading cards?

Yeah that's super rad. As a mega nerd that still plays MTG those pouches are a little bigger, cards are usually 9 slots per page. They would work for prints but not swabs... those larger pouches are sweet and I'm definitely gonna find some as my collection grows. Good shit Tip :rockon:
