(true story) A buddhist was explaining the core philosophies of Buddhism to a Jewish rabbi and after contemplating for a bit the rabbi says to the Buddhist: "But if I am you and you are me, then you are not you and I am not me"

I’m about to do G2G again and would like to get good enough at it, that it’s my main way to colonize jars. Any suggestions that you feel are very important regarding G2G?
Lastly, is there anything better than Iso to sanitize?
Bleach solution does a better job than ISO according to the CDC but you have to leave it on for a while and it's corrosive.
You could use the as-yet-unnamed "spoon tek" to do G2G in a SAB. I have and do, it's in a writeup I've been working on on SAB technique.
Use a STERILE spoon. It gets that way from being baked at 400F for an hour or being cooked in a PC exposed to steam at 15 PSI for at least half an hour. You put the STERILE spoon in the donor jar to pull out a teaspoon to a tablespoon (whatever yer amount) of grain which just sneaks under the open lid of the receiver jar, drop the lid back down, and go on to the next jar, never touching the spoon to anything other than the grain you're picking up with it. In a SAB unless it's really tall IME this is easier than rolling grain out, and there's less handling of the jars as well.

I’ve been having trouble finding a taller sab (mines like 108 Liters,) so you’d have more vertical room. So you would lean the receiver jar at an angle on tin foil, hold receiver jar lid with left hand over the top while you pour grains from master jar with right hand?
You obviously leave master jar lid off the whole time right? I’m just going to get a bigger SAB so I don’t have to lean the jars.
Not much to it other than this below right? -Clean spawn -Sanitize EVER inch of all jars, including under the lid -Basic sanitizing, smooth/steady handwork

I’ve seen people shit on using a spoon but I feel like it could work great. First thought I had was I should PC the spoon IN. mason jar with the lid lightly shut… Open jar in SAB to keep spoon sterile?
You use a flow hood now? I was debating on making one, but definitely don’t wanna spend more then 300-450.
One positive about using the spoon IMO for some, is less chance of creating air disturbance using a spoon vs mason jar. You’re supposed to shake master up beforehand and kinda twist mason jar at a decline to get grain out?

I’m making SFDs for the first time, used polyfil prior for too long. Few simple questions guys?
- Thoughts on cutting whole SFDs into smaller ones?
-One 1/4in or 1/2in hole?
-Is red RTV silicone best?
Besides hole in lid, cutting SFDs snd gluing them… That’s all there is to it right? I just want it for GE, will be used for spawn jars (Agar transfer or G2G)

Histology is observing anatomy with a microscope. What are you using a microscope for.
I don't own a microscope. There's no need. If I had one I'd be sure to stain. I don't know how to explain it but it's basic cable vs HD. Is it needed no. Will you go back? Probably not.
If ya got toys might as well use it to it's full advantage. Oil immersion...
 It's just easier on the eyes...

Ya let me take advice from people who have never even used or have a microscope..?
Okay I'm negative. Fuck it. I quit.

Clear RTV is fine. Doesn’t have to be the red. One 1/4in hole works well for me. Haven’t cut an SFD yet.
Simple. Get it!

Anybody noticed any difference in grows between different kinds of manure ? Sheep , horse , cow , goat . All have different gut biomes and all will grow shrooms . Any growers preference or logical scientific reason to use one kind over another besides availability? Personally I use horse/ sheep as the lady who rescues farm animals lets me have it for free . I let it sun dry and leach outside for a season. The manure that has been sitting to compost 6 months or more grows more, faster, potent shrooms with less contamination in my experience.

Bro I use multiple microscopes all fucking day. Know how to stain bacteria, fungi, viruses.
There's no fucking useQuote:

free is best manure. Horse/alpaca is what I find. Cow performs the same. It's just a matter of texture and breaking up different sized turds.

Use 1/4" holes, you can cut down the sfd but these 29mm ones are the perfect size.

I use red high temp rtv, but all silicone is rtv, I'm not sure if all silicone is high temp though.
Yes, for GE, yes that's all there is to it.

Not sure where the first remark came from … I didn’t opt for a student loan and didn’t participate in mainstream academics nor do I own a microscope or feel the need to be able to identify microorganisms under magnification. I only stated that different animals likely have different gut biomes and question if it related at all to growing shrooms . I operate a cordless driver and drill and install architectural metal and glass . Learn to handle 500 pound sheets of glass on a swing stage 33 floors above ground and I’ll learn to identify microorganisms at magnification. I fail to see how your remarks translates to help growing mushrooms .

It would appear that the top portion of his response was just a piggy back that was unrealated, his response to you was on thw bottom portion, the result of quoting you.
The top portion was a continuation of the previous conversation with who I assume to be someone who doesn't know anything about microscopy.

I'm all confused now. I didn't mean to refer to you psili.
Essentially my thought. If you got toys use them to the full advantage. Would you put regular gas in a race car. It's a toy and not a needed tool for the average hobbyist.
I don't need power tools or to swing to do mycology or a microscope.

It’s all good no harm no foul. I realize the first part wasn’t meant for me now , I guess I’m confused too . Well I hope the shrooms spirit gives you pleasure or relief from this la vida loco . Peace my fellow shroomer may you luxuriate in the lap of the goddess

I bought some wide mouth (90mm) SFDs and a big sheet of 20mm ones from there. 20mm is .8 of an inch so that should work fine with 1/4in GE holes you think?
I’ve only used polyfil (for way too long,) was reading best way to apply the RTV. Some said it was difficult at first? Was thinking i’ll squirt couple drops, put down SFD and twist it 180 degrees or something

Hi. Two quick questions I'd love some thoughts on...
1. My first flush is happenings at the moment....some mushies I have picked as they were ready whilst smaller pins are still a few days away from being picked. I can see there are beads of water on the surface of the substrate where white mycelium covers it, however there are parts where no mycelium has grown and it does look like the substrate beneath is quite dry.
Should I mist to add moisture back into the substrate? Or as long as there beads of water on the myc surface it's ok?
2. One of my oat grain spawn jars has one grain of oat that has turned dark. Everything else looks fine and then myc has grown throughout the jar super healthy. Is the jar ok to use as long as I remove that one grain when adding the spawn to bulk? Here's a pic:
