Bacterial jar that I'm top fruiting.
Didn't compress as hard as I normally do, out of curiosity. Bad idea.
Second jar I compressed the shit out of.

how many of you are doing your flow transfers as close to the filter as possible? like a vacuum cleaner it stands to reason (in my naive thought) that the air current is most effective the closer to the shootoff you get
does anyone consider or have experience with considering this

I always do everything as close to the filter as possible. Never really had a reason not to. You can use a stick of incense to see where in the flow the turbulence starts to take place. Regardless, nothing should ever pass in front of an open, sterile container.

Iβve got high hopes for this mini-mono.
FP+ clone, 2 qts WBS to 5 qts straight coir. Been 7 days, sub appears fully colonized below surface, and is looking good so far. Will case in 7-10 more days, or 80% surface colonization. Whichever comes first.

Do these looks like the start of side-pins or blobs? They really aren't increasing in size much at all. I had the first blob appear at the surface, it grew from zero to peanut in 24hrs.
This is the APE tub which I matted the first surface and covered lightly with coir. It very slowly grew through the coir, but its looking more and more lumpy. I'm thinking blobs are going to push up, but maybe mushrooms. At this point (almost 2 mo from start) I'll be happy with enough blobs for a happy new years. My plan is not to deal with what happening on the sides at all unless I have to.

So I needs to mostly leave it alone. The coir honestly did look light colored and dry before I overmisted everything today.
I want to mist until the coir darkens rather than just to cover with fine droplets.

if ur coir is at proper field capacity and the tub is dialed you ideally wouldnt need to mist at all
imo dark coir would be too wet ... but thats a hard scale to draw the line at being "too dark" or what have you

Thatβs definitely too wet you can see it almost starting to pool.
Misting isnβt supposed to supply water to the mushrooms, itβs only to keep surface conditions good for pinning.
If itβs too dry you could bottom water it, but misting that much is going to damage the surface myc and cause it to mat up which is bad for the pinset and also slows everything down.
Coir hydration is imo one of the more overlooked aspects of cult. I didnβt even realize I had been making mine suboptimal for years because I had good results but I also had to mist occasionally. Once you find the sweet spot you wonβt need to do anything.

I've read in a few places that you should reserve something like 1/4 of your coir for a top layer. Should that be misted after you put it on top and level it, or should it be kept on the dry side (couple drops if you squeeze it hard) like the rest of it?

its a weird thing cult life.. mastering the basics really are the key to success
its easy to get overthink and overanalyze but at the end of the day you need to focus in on:
clean cultures, clean spawn, and well prepped coir + dialing your conditions
side note: don't take every tek to be perfect and will work exactly as written,
you might need to make adjustments depending on how you get things done

So, just wanted to let you all know, I started my Journal about making tinctures. It's still under construction but I would be happy to discuss and get some suggestions/critics from you  Going to start with it probably at the beginning of next month. Since I still need some material to work with and have to distill the ethanol first.
And thanks again to AyePlus for all his help and suggestions! Because of him, I am starting this journey

I still suck at dropping agar wedges into grains >.< but hey, it also works when their laying on top :P Thinking about maybe trying LI at some point...

What you want to do is stick them to the side of the jar then you can smack the bottom of the jar against your hand to bring them down the sides using momentum.
Think of when you suddenly stop in your car, you get pushed forward out of your seat. Same idea but instead of froward you want down. So you hold the jar with one hand and swing down into your other palm.

Don't IMO. LI would be a useless vector of possible contam in that scenario.
Pro tip (not my idea, can't remember who's it was but I'm not claiming credit for it (pretty sure they also made a quick write up about it):
Before you open the jar, make sure you tilt it to create a slope in the grain. Drop the wedge at the bottom of that slope. Close the lid. Gently roll the jar. VoilΓ !
Edit: I think it was either Derryald or Milkboy. Damn I'm not certain here.
