So, non-pre mixed agar is giving me some odd troubles. You are supposed to mix this shit with hot/boiling water correct? Every time I add it, it just makes all these globs of gelatin that float around in the pot but never dissolve.
Had always used premixes before.

My first agar powder mix was Fungi Perfecti's MEA premix. The only way for me to avoid chunks of shit was to use enough cold water to cover comfortably, stir heavily with a spoon, and then pour the rest after.
Now I'm mixing LME and agar powder and I have to boil it lightly for it to dissolve, otherwise it sits at the bottom

I'm leaving town for 4 days starting Friday. The second flush of my monotub has half inch pins. Is there anyway to mature fruits faster or slow them down? Possibly a temperature change. The ambient temp in the room is 68 degrees, with an over head fan on medium and a box fan on medium.

I've had to do this so many times. Just leave it. Even if spores blow all over the place, you have fruits. Don't change the environment at this stage.

They'll definitely fruit slower in colder temperatures, but I feel like you'll be fine in 4 days with 1/2 inch pins.

Harvest a little earlier than usual. Have someone baby sit your tub (not reccomended). Harvest when you return home and risk them being past mature and a big spore mess.

I'd rather have failed grow than sit with that paranoia

Personally I would pick em early and chalk it up to bad timing.

Am I the only one who doesn't think 4 days is enough time for 1/2" pins in a monotub to mature enough to be a problem? If you can put it in a much cooler room, go for it. But I think 4 days is fine.
