Always try and avoid excess water with your ratios. So much easier to add a little more water to hit FC than to squeeze it out or waste verm to thicken it up. The ratios differ between brands of coir, size of the brick, amount of verm, etc. Use your heart (and actual measurements).

How do you guys put a plate to grain if there are multiple transfer pieces on it? I always put a single transfer piece to it's own plate when it's going to be a clean plate but I've got 5 or 6 T3 plates that I was expecting to have to take to T4. Does it matter if I put the transfer piece to grain along with the wedge? And an even stupider question: does it matter if I cut a wedge out with mycelium from two different transfer pieces?
Thanks for putting up with me everyone!

Nah that sounds about right, it'll never be as hot outside as in the steam chamber.

I’d think if they were from the same culture, and just different sectors, they retain compatibility.

Hey folks. I’m pretty sure SpaceBaby asked a similar question not so long ago but I can’t find where now.
I made some millet jars but I can’t seem to bang it all loose there are still like three 1-2 cm clumps in each jar that I just can’t break.
Should a use these or is that going to be a possible contamination vector when I spawn. Here is a picture.

Are they colonized, the clumps? If so you can break them up by hand when you mix with your sub, or leave them if they aren’t to big.

I have a few jars that were PC’ed 3 months ago and have been sitting in a closet due to unfortunate circumstances. They look a little dried out, but I’d still like to use them. Have any of you done this? I could easily reload them but..

Chance that there is something hiding in there, and the water level would be so off at this point. Unless you had taped up the FAE holes.
Seems like a bigger risk to noc them unless you have spar jars to run along side them.

Should be aiight if anything it'll stall from drying out but I'd guess it's just fine. I've used 1-2 month old sterilized jars before without problem and seen other users use way older ones.

Doing a mini grow just to get familiar with the process and get some fresh fruit to take a spore sample and clone from (growing dried mushroom > agar > grain > substrate). A few 3L tubs and a 10L one, 1:1 ratio on the 3L ones and 1:2 on the big one. Is it normal for it to colonize quite fast at that small scale? Looks like the small ones will be finished in less than a week, while I’ve read it takes 2-3 weeks usually?
Also one of the boxes fell while moving it, everything in there got blended and I didn’t feel like making more substrate for one casing layer so it’s going without (looks like 80% finished atm), is there any harm in that?

These are a friend of mines. He wants to know if they look clean. Transferred from agar on 1/5 but they were clean looking germ plates. He says the growth that’s not as white is just the camera. I’m thinking maybe some bacteria but nothing he can’t fruit out

Those are very contaminated. Germ plates are to germinate the spores, then one transfers at a minimum a few times to clean them, or else theres no point. they could have just dropped the spores onto grain and got the same mold faster.

Hello Shroomery. This shoetub is Amazon (Not Albino Amazon+ although I have some of that growing on wheat). The pins initially had dark brown heads covered with a white mycelial coating. This morning I looked, and some of the pins are growing lighter colored caps, literally they are growing from/over the darker cap. Is this common with this variety? (This is the first mushrooms I've grown that are not GT). Is this how Aa+ came into existence, someone cloning one of the light fruits?

I always send my germ plates to grain just for the hell of it and it’s not always an issue. Obviously wouldn’t do g2g with them but for a quick bacterial tub it’s not a big deal. Besides the grain looking bacterial what are you seeing?

Hard to tell from that pic but I'd let 'em ride, no harm in it and time will tell if they're clean or no.
